In this episode, I share from Joshua how God shows the Israelites His power as they begin to enter the land He’d promised, and how Jesus leads us in fighting against the powers of darkness in our own lives.
Discussion with your kids: Ask, “What is one thing you are scared of or worried about?” Share something that makes you anxious, and then bring the power of Jesus’ cross, blood, and resurrection against it, sending those struggles to His throne for judgment. Ask Jesus what He wants to replace those feelings with.
