When Hidden Sin Affects the Whole Community - Joshua 7:16–9:2 | April 13, 2026

Welcome to One Single Story, your weekday companion through the One Year Bible. Pastor Stephen Mizell is joined by Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Wendy Korbusieski for a sobering look at how hidden sin disrupts not just the individual, but the entire community of God's people.

Scripture Focus: Joshua 7:16 - 9:2 - After Israel's miraculous victory at Jericho, the nation suffers a humbling defeat at Ai. The cause: Achan's secret disobedience, revealing that concealed sin always costs more than it promises.

In This Episode:

• Why hidden sin is never truly hidden from God
• How one person's disobedience impacted an entire nation
• The path from confession and repentance to genuine restoration

Key Quote: "To think that you sin unto yourself alone is always a myth. It always has tentacles attached to it." - Pastor Stephen Mizell
