In the old testament book of Joshua, the people were obedient to God in conquering the Land. We will learn in Judges that they continue in their disobedience, idolatrousness, and are defeated.

Do you want to thrive in the story He is writing for you? No matter where you are in life, God has wonderful stories ready to be told through you.
