You won’t see “SUBMIT AND GOD WILL GET THE GLORY” on coffee mugs, clothing, or on your Christian girl-boss daily planner. Instead, we see “BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS!”

But is there something we’re missing about this verse?

In today’s podcast, we will study and read the full context of Joshua 1:7-9 and see that God promises Joshua (and you) courage and strength, but that does not come without submitting to His ways.
