"He does not promise to deliver you from hard times. He does not promise to deliver you from hard relationships. He does promise to deliver you from besetting sin, and that is a far better promise."

— Jen Wilkin

Today's Episode: Join Natalie Abbott and Jen Wilkin as they discuss God's unwavering presence and promises. They explore those themes through the lens of Joshua's life. Jen explains how God's work in Joshua's story intersects with his work in the greater story of the Bible and in the lives of believers today—delivering us from our sins just as he delivered God's people into the promised land. You'll be encouraged to find strength and courage in God's enduring faithfulness.

This month's memory verse: "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." — Deuteronomy 31:8
