God's Unfolding Promise To Renew the Whole Universe
The official podcast of Grace and Hope Lutheran Churches in Columbia City, IN. The primary focus of this podcast will be confirmation (or catechism). However, there will hopefully be discussions and topics of interest to others as well. For confirmation will we be using Daniel Erlander's Manna and Mercy as a guide, as we explore God's Unfolding Promise to Renew the Whole Universe. From time to time there may be off-topic episodes addressing contemporary events or other items we find interesting.

Chapter 5 of Manna and Mercy discusses the Book of Joshua. Joshua is a book that does not get much exposure in worship (only 2 or 3 short readings over a 3-year cycle). In some ways, it is easy to understand why Joshua is not often read. Many of us as modern readers find some of the images in Joshua disturbing (conquest, genocide, YHWH as divine warrior). There is no doubt Joshua is a product of its time and place. However, Joshua's questions about identity and what it means to follow this liberating God still have relevance for our modern era.
