Prayer Push & Joshua 1: Be Strong and Courageous
Evan and Justin introduce a summer “Prayer Push” for small groups, inviting everyone to pray weekly for one shared request, starting with growth—both numerical growth through reaching new and unchurched people at PBC and spiritual growth for everyone involved in the church. They begin a new series covering Joshua, Judges, and Ruth through August, focusing on Joshua 1:1–11, 16–18 and encouraging listeners to read the full chapter. The discussion highlights Moses’ death, God’s repeated command to be strong and courageous, and the promise that God is with Joshua and has already given Israel victory. They emphasize meditating on Scripture day and night, cite a Bible engagement study showing major life change when reading the Bible four or more times weekly, and discuss obstacles like busyness, social media, and not knowing how to study. They close by connecting Joshua to discipleship and preparing others to carry the mission forward.
