Sometimes, it’s the most unlikely people who make the most unbelievable differences. Today, we’ll be looking at Joshua 2, which contains the story of Rahab—who’s a powerful example of this truth in action. We’ll see who Rahab was, what she did for God’s people, and what practical lessons we can learn from her story.
