Welcome to today’s episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast! In this episode, we are exploring what it means to truly have God on your side. Many of us desire a deeper relationship with God, but how do we position ourselves to experience His power and presence in our lives?

As we examine Joshua’s journey, we’ll uncover key spiritual principles that teach us how to align ourselves with God’s will, experience personal renewal, and prepare our hearts before stepping into the battles of life.

Join us as we explore:

• How Israel’s acts of obedience (circumcision and Passover) prepared them for victory.
• Why spiritual preparation comes before success.
• What Joshua’s encounter with the Commander of the Lord’s Army reveals about true surrender.
• How we can ensure we are on God’s side, rather than simply expecting Him to be on ours.

Let’s journey together through this powerful passage and discover how obedience, surrender, and worship position us to walk in God’s strength and experience His guidance in our lives.
