The Enemy Doesn’t Attack First… He Deceives

What if the craziest part of Book of Joshua chapter 10… isn’t the sun standing still? In this episode of If I Had More Time, we dive into one of the most well-known moments in the Bible—when Joshua prays and the sun stops in the sky. But the deeper story might actually be about deception, fear, and how easily God’s people can be misled. We talk about: * The Gibeonite deception (and why it worked) * Why the enemy doesn’t start with attack… but with subtle compromise * The difference between fear of God vs. fear of man * How modern culture uses the same tactics we see in Scripture * Why so many Christians are struggling to hold a biblical worldview today This conversation goes beyond the miracle—and into the patterns that still affect us right now. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 00:21 Michael Jackson Rediscovered 02:17 Sun Stand Still Setup 03:09 Literal or Allegory 07:41 God Over Creation 10:08 Gibeonite Covenant Backstory 13:44 Deception and Hunger 18:00 Counterfeit Righteousness 20:49 Culture Wars and Labels 30:34 Manipulation and Coexist 33:47 Enemy And Deception 36:36 Gibeon Under Attack 39:22 Cost Of Convictions 41:41 Biblical Worldview Stats 48:21 Fear Of Man Trap 01:00:00 Belonging And Belief 01:03:58 Church For God 01:07:16 Next Week And Wrap
