Gentle Words

As For Me

Joshua 24 is where it all lands. After decades of wandering, waiting, and finally arriving, Joshua gathers the people and says: you've seen what God has done. Now choose. In this final episode of our Joshua series, we're in Joshua 24 and sitting with what it means to actually choose. * Look back at the record of God's faithfulness — and learn to see it in your own story too * Understand why the choice isn't a one-time moment, but something we wake up and make every day * Walk away with a final charge to stop standing at the edge and start living in the deep end The series is complete.  The land is yours.

How Long Will You Wait?

There's a question in Joshua 18 that made me pause. Joshua looks at seven tribes who are already in the promised land and asks,How long will you wait to take possession of what God has already given you? In this episode we're in Joshua 18 and sitting with that question together. * Meet three people with the same promise and three very different responses to it * Ask yourself which one you are right now * Walk away with a clearer picture of what it looks like to stop waiting and start living in what's already yours The promise is fulfilled. Press play when you're ready. 🎧🤍 REFERENCES Joshua Jen Wilkin Books and Resources [https://www.lifeway.com/en/contributors/jen-wilkin?intcmp=lw%3Ajenwilkin%3Asrdr&prod.taxonomy.lwc%5Bpage%5D=2] JOIN BROOKE ON SUBSTACK ⁠https://substack.com/@brookewiegand⁠ HONEST QUESTIONS ARCHIVE ⁠https://brookewiegand.substack.com/archive⁠ Connect with Brooke:  ⁠https://www.brookewiegand.com⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠ Podcast Cover Photography: Hello Jude Photography

What I'm Leaving In The Shallow End

This episode is for the woman who's been faithful for years and still feels like something's missing.
