Walls fell at Jericho when we stayed quiet, circled in faith, and kept our eyes on God’s presence. Then we met Ai—a smaller fight that exposed a bigger problem. This conversation digs into Joshua 7, the hidden stash in Achan’s tent, and the subtle pride that sneaks in when victory feels easy. We wrestle with the tension between grace and holiness, why secret compromises drain peace, and how self-sufficiency masquerades as wisdom right up to the moment it fails.
We walk through Joshua’s response—tearing garments, bowing low, waiting before the ark—and how humility opens the door for God’s clarity. You’ll hear why “Christ in you, the hope of glory” isn’t abstract theology but the only way to stand when temptation comes. We unpack what sanctify yourselves looks like today: bringing every room of the heart into the light, refusing “my stuff” closets, and trusting that exposure under grace heals faster than hiding under shame. And we name the lies that keep us stuck—“try harder,” “earn your way back,” “God’s done with you”—with a better word: Jesus already took Achan’s judgment, so confession becomes a homecoming, not a trial.
If you’ve felt your peace melt, if small compromises have grown loud, or if pride has pushed you into plans God never authored, this one invites you back to surrender. Fix your eyes on Jesus, not your effort. Remember who lives in your camp. And when you stumble, run, don’t shuffle, back to the presence that restores your soul.
