Caleb Watson was dying.Not metaphorically.Not slowly.But surely.

At 39, the diagnosis had come hard and fast. Stage four cancer. The kind that doesn’t ask permission, doesn’t wait for you to wrap up your business, and doesn’t leave room for miracles unless God intervenes directly.

He’d been strong once. Owned a construction company. Sang baritone on Sundays at church.But now?

The man who used to carry drywall on his shoulder like it was made of paper could barely carry on a conversation without coughing up pain.

He was tired.Of treatments.Of pain.Of pretending.

He didn’t want the chaplain visit that day.Not really.

But when Miss Evelyn, a soft-spoken widow who volunteered at the hospital, knocked gently and asked, “May I sit with you?”—he just nodded.

She sat. Didn’t push.

Then she reached into her purse and pulled out a small Bluetooth speaker.

“There’s a song,” she said, “I want you to hear.It’s not new. Not ancient either.But it’s eternal.”

He didn’t have the energy to argue.

So she hit play.

🎶 “A thousand generations falling down in worship…”

Something happened.

Caleb’s tired eyes stared at the ceiling. But in his spirit, he saw something else.

A throne.

Not just a vision. Not a dream. A glimpse.

Of Heaven.

Of creatures beyond imagination.Of light that didn’t shine—it radiated.Of voices. Uncountable. Singing the same song.

Not because they had to.

Because it was truth.

And in the center—A Lamb.Slain. Yet alive.Wounded. Yet whole.Crowned in glory.

Caleb wanted to speak, but couldn’t.

Tears streamed down his face, and all he could do…was fall to his knees in that vision.In his spirit.

And join the sound.

🎶 “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty…”

Miss Evelyn didn’t say a word.She saw his face.Saw the tears.She knew.

She simply reached out and held his trembling hand.

“That song you just heard, Caleb…” she whispered, “they’ve been singing it for ages.And they’re not going to stop anytime soon.And when your voice joins in—it won’t just echo. It’ll matter.”

Later that night, Caleb asked to see his daughter.He smiled. Ate a little.Said he wanted to hear the song again.

And when the nurses came in the next morning, he was gone.

But not alone.

The Lesson

There is a song.Older than language.Louder than doubt.Stronger than death.

A song Heaven never stops singing:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord…”

It doesn’t change with seasons.It doesn’t dim with sickness.It doesn’t pause for politics, pandemics, or pain.

And when we worship here—on this side of eternity—we’re not starting something…

We’re joining something.

Bible Verse

Revelation 4:8 (ESV)

“Day and night they never cease to say,‘Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,who was and is and is to come!’”

So when life feels temporary,when fear screams loud,when the world tries to shake your faith—

Sing the song.

Not because you understand everything.But because He’s holy—forever.

And even in death,your worship still rises.

Some battles require more than strategy—they demand a miracle. Joshua found himself in the thick of war, outnumbered and racing the setting sun. Instead of retreating or relying solely on human might, he looked up and prayed one of the boldest prayers ever recorded: “Sun, stand still.” Not whispered. Not doubted. But declared aloud in faith before all of Israel.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord… and he said in the sight of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.’” — Joshua 10:12 (ESV)

Audacious prayer isn’t about demanding from God—it’s about believing in Him. Joshua wasn’t reckless. He was confident in the God who promised victory. His boldness wasn't arrogance—it was anchored in obedience. And God honored it.

We’ve gotten comfortable with small prayers. “Lord, if it’s your will.” “Just help me get through the day.” There’s nothing wrong with those prayers—but what if God is waiting for you to pray for something only He can do?

Never forget…don’t shrink your prayers to match your faith—stretch your faith to match God’s power. That cancer diagnosis? That broken marriage? That prodigal child? Pray like you believe the One who commands the sun and moon still hears your voice.

The miracle isn’t in the words—it’s in the heart behind them. Faith that believes. Faith that moves mountains. Faith that stops the sun.

Question of the Day:What bold, God-sized prayer do you need to stop whispering and start declaring today?

Let’s Pray:Lord, ignite my faith. Teach me to pray prayers that shake the heavens—not out of pride, but because I believe You can do the impossible. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Life is full of noise—voices demanding our attention, steering our decisions, and shaping our direction. At the end of his life, Joshua gathered the people and laid down a bold declaration: "Choose this day whom you will serve." He wasn’t just making a personal decision—he was leading his household with clarity and courage. In a world pulling us in a thousand directions, that same choice confronts us daily: Which voice will we follow?

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” —Joshua 24:15 (ESV)

Every day is filled with choices—and the voices we listen to often determine the roads we take. The voice of fear tells us to stay safe. The voice of compromise whispers, “It’s not that big a deal.” The voice of culture yells, “Follow your heart!” But God’s voice calls us higher, deeper, and truer—to a life rooted in purpose and promise.

Joshua didn’t ask the people to make a future commitment. He didn’t say, “Choose when it’s easier.” He said, “Choose today.” Because the real danger isn’t loud rebellion—it’s silent drift. When we stop choosing God daily, we slowly drift away without even noticing.

Joshua didn’t just choose for himself—he chose for his home. That’s leadership. That’s devotion. And that’s a model for us to follow.

Question of the Day:Whose voice are you listening to today—and what choice is it leading you to make?

Let’s Pray:Lord, help me to silence every voice that pulls me away from You. Give me ears to hear Your truth, and a heart bold enough to choose You daily. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

There are moments when we all stand before something that feels too big, too fortified, too impossible to overcome. That’s your Jericho. It might be a relationship that seems beyond repair. A fear that won’t let go. A habit that owns too much of you. But what if I told you that God has already declared victory, just like He did with Joshua? Even before the walls fell, God said, “I have given Jericho into your hand.” That’s a promise to hold onto.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:Joshua 6:2 (ESV) – “And the Lord said to Joshua, ‘See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor.’”

Jericho wasn’t just a city; it was a symbol of impossibility. And God’s strategy? March in silence. Trust when it doesn’t make sense. Obey without full explanation. The Israelites didn’t tear down Jericho’s walls—they walked in faith, and God did what only He could do. That’s the same pattern for us.

Maybe you’ve been circling your own Jericho for what feels like years. You’re tired. You’re frustrated. But hear this: the wall didn’t fall on day one. Or day five. It crumbled on the seventh day, after obedience and perseverance.

The shout of victory doesn’t come before the march—it comes after. Your obedience invites God's breakthrough. So don’t stop now. Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep believing.

Question of the Day:What wall in your life do you need to start circling with obedience and faith today?

Let’s Pray:Lord, help me to trust You with my Jericho. Teach me to walk in faith, even when the walls look immovable. I know You’ve already declared victory—I will keep marching. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

So much of our world tells us to conform, to fit a mold, to try and be like someone else. But God doesn’t do copies. He crafts originals. That’s why the story of Caleb is so powerful—not because he was famous like Moses or commanding like Joshua—but because he never stopped being Caleb.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:"So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke on that day…" — Joshua 14:12 (ESV)

At 85 years old, Caleb stood tall and unshaken. He wasn’t asking for comfort. He was asking for the hill country—the hard ground, the challenge, the promise. Why? Because he believed God had saved that exact portion for him. And Caleb wasn’t interested in walking someone else’s path.

God had made a promise, and Caleb had clung to it for over four decades. He had a different spirit—one that didn’t follow the crowd but followed God. Caleb wasn’t waiting to be someone else. He was ready to be exactly who God created him to be.

That same call comes to us today. You don’t need to be Moses. You don’t have to lead like Joshua. You need to be you—the person God crafted with intention and purpose. He’s assigned you hills others might avoid. But He’s equipped you to climb them.

Don’t compare. Don’t copy. Don’t cave. Your calling is real. Your identity is sacred. And your Canaan awaits.

Question of the Day:What part of your life are you trying to fit into someone else’s mold instead of walking confidently in who God made you to be?

Let’s Pray:Lord, thank You for creating me with purpose and intention. Help me to stop comparing and start embracing the identity You gave me. I want to be bold like Caleb and walk fully in my calling. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“The Lord said to Joshua, ‘Get up! Why have you fallen on your face?’” —Joshua 7:10 (ESV)

My Beloved Warrior,

I saw you fall. I heard the cry of your heart when defeat hit harder than you expected. The shame. The confusion. The pain. You tried so hard to lead well, to fight well—but something went wrong. And now, you’re face-down in disappointment, wondering if I’ve walked away.

But I haven’t.

Failure doesn’t scare Me, and it shouldn’t scare you. It’s not the end. Not even close. I didn’t call you to be flawless—I called you to be faithful. Get up, son. This moment doesn’t define you. I do.

Yes, there was hidden sin in the camp back then, just like there are unseen places in your life now that need My light. But I don’t point it out to shame you—I reveal it to heal you. I don’t expose to punish; I expose to restore. That’s what love does.

If you’re willing to come clean with Me, I will cleanse you. If you confess, I will cover you—not with condemnation, but with grace. The same power that knocked down Jericho’s walls is the power that will raise you up again.

You’re still My warrior. My call on your life hasn’t changed. I’m not done with you—not because of your strength, but because of My mercy. The story I’m writing in you is not a tragedy; it’s a testimony. One of redemption, resilience, and renewal.

So rise. Wipe the dust off. Learn what needs learning. Let go of what needs letting go. Let this failure be an altar, not a grave. I’ll meet you here. I’ll walk you forward.

You are Mine—still and always.

With relentless grace,Your Father

Have you ever faced a battle so big, so overwhelming, that you knew you couldn’t win it on your own? Maybe it wasn’t a battlefield with swords and shields—maybe it was your marriage, your health, your addiction, or a war raging in your mind. In moments like those, it’s easy to feel like you’re outnumbered and outmatched. But here’s a bit of wisdom to remember—you are not fighting for victory… you are fighting from it. Joshua wasn’t alone in the heat of battle. Time and again, God stepped in—sending hailstones, stopping the sun, throwing the enemy into confusion. When Joshua prayed, heaven responded. And when you pray in faith, heaven still responds.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:Joshua 10:14 (ESV) – “There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel.”

This verse is more than history—it’s a promise. God heard the voice of a man and fought on his behalf. And He still does. Joshua was a warrior, yes—but he never fought alone. God’s intervention wasn’t random. It was the result of bold, believing prayer. When Joshua spoke, God moved.

We are not called to sit passively in life’s warzones. Faith isn’t idle. It steps up, steps in, and calls upon the power of heaven. Your Jericho? It’s not too big. Your enemy? Not too strong. The same God who stopped the sun for Joshua can stop anything that stands against you.

So pray like Joshua. Fight in faith. Show up—and watch God show out.

Question of the Day:What battle are you facing today that you need to stop fighting alone—and start trusting God to fight for you?

Let’s Pray:Lord, remind us today that we are not alone in the fight. Give us boldness to pray big prayers and trust You for mighty victories. You are our Defender. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

When Joshua stood at the edge of Canaan, ready to lead Israel into the land of promise, God didn’t give him a battle plan or a strategy session. He gave him one command: Stay in the Word. The secret to claiming victory wasn’t about military might—it was about spiritual depth.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night... For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." —Joshua 1:8 (ESV)

God’s instructions were clear. Joshua wasn’t to rely on strength, numbers, or clever plans. He was to saturate his mind, heart, and speech with Scripture. Why? Because God’s Word is the battle plan. It’s truth that drives out fear, promises that anchor our faith, and direction that keeps us walking in obedience.

Lucado puts it this way—your success in Canaan depends on your relationship with the Word. Not because the Bible is magic, but because it’s living and active. It feeds the soul, fuels courage, and sharpens discernment.

Too many of us want victory without the voice of God. We want blessings without the Bible. But if you’re not living in the Word, you’re not walking in the land of promise.

Your Canaan—your purpose, your breakthrough, your spiritual inheritance—won’t be accessed through good vibes or religious routines. It will be unlocked by a mind renewed by truth and a heart anchored in God’s voice.

Question of the Day:What role does God’s Word play in your daily battle plan—and is it time to return to it as your first weapon, not your last resort?

Let’s Pray:Lord, draw us back to Your Word. Make it our guide, our strength, and our weapon in every battle. Let Your truth shape us into warriors who walk in victory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
