Joshua

If the Pentateuch is the long road of promise, then Joshua is the moment the promise finally touches the ground. It reads like a historical epic with battle scenes, miraculous signs, ancient city-states, shifting borders, yet it never loses its theological heartbeat. Many Bible videos and Bible Project overviews frame Joshua as the “fulfillment book,” where God begins delivering on promises first given centuries earlier to Abraham.

The Setting: A New Generation Steps Forward

The book begins with the passing of the torch. Moses, Israel’s great prophet-leader, is gone. Joshua, his apprentice and battlefield commander, now stands before a nation perched on the edge of Canaan. Bible storytellers often describe this moment as a “hinge in Israel’s history” a transition from wandering to possessing.

God’s opening words to Joshua set the tone (Joshua 1):
Be strong and courageous. I am with you wherever you go.

This isn’t just encouragement; it’s a commissioning.

Crossing Into the Promise

The early chapters unfold like dramatic scenes from a faith-based documentary:

The spies in Jericho
Rahab’s brave sheltering of Israel’s spies highlighted often in children’s videos and Bible recaps
The miraculous crossing of the Jordan River, where the waters stand still just as they did at the Red Sea

Each moment signals that God is actively making a way, just as He did for the previous generation.

The Battles: Conquest and Complexity

Joshua’s middle chapters are famous for their military campaigns, though Bible teachers often emphasize the theological layers over the battlefield details.

Major highlights include:

The fall of Jericho (Joshua 6), often dramatized in animated Bible stories with the iconic marching and trumpet blasts
The setback at Ai, caused by Israel’s disobedience (Joshua 7)
The southern and northern campaigns, showing Israel pushing into key city alliances
The sun standing still in Joshua 10—one of the most visually striking miracle moments emphasized in Bible videos

Modern summaries often address the tension in these chapters (the moral and historical questions around conquest) while also explaining how ancient Near Eastern warfare accounts were understood in their own time.

The Land: Promises Become Geography

A large portion of Joshua is devoted to dividing the land among the tribes. It may feel slow to modern readers, but Bible Project videos often point out how these chapters fulfill God’s long-standing covenant promises.

This section is Israel’s first ancient map—a tangible reminder that God doesn’t just make promises; He roots them in real soil, real borders, and real inheritance.

Key moments include:

Caleb receiving Hebron at age 85
The allotment of territories
Cities of refuge, showing God’s concern for justice
Levitical cities, grounding worship throughout the land

A Leader’s Final Words

Just as Moses gave his farewell, Joshua ends his life with a covenant renewal. His speeches (Joshua 23–24) act like a spiritual anchor for the nation. Many Bible-based teaching videos highlight his declaration at Shechem:

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
— Joshua 24:15

It’s more than a household motto, it’s Joshua’s legacy.

Why Joshua Still Matters

Joshua isn’t just the story of battles and borders; it’s a narrative about trusting God enough to step into the unknown. It reminds readers that faith is both belief and action, and that promises often require courage to claim.

Bible Project overviews often describe this book as a picture of God’s faithfulness meeting human responsibility. Israel doesn’t enter the land because they’re strong, but because God is keeping His word—and inviting them to participate.

Joshua stands as a historical and spiritual turning point, bridging the journey from wandering to belonging and setting the stage for the turbulent era of the Judges.

Judges Summary

The Book of Judges

If the Book of Joshua feels like Israel charging triumphantly into the Promised Land, then Judges is the sobering reality check that follows: a raw, unfiltered look at what happens when a nation forgets its foundation. Judges is one of the most dramatic books in the Hebrew Bible, blending history, theology, and storytelling with a strikingly human honesty. Many Bible video overviews like those from The Bible Project or dramatized retellings from Bible Stories for Kids describe it as an ancient “cycle of brokenness,” and that phrase really captures the heartbeat of the narrative.

The Setting: A Leaderless Nation

Judges spans roughly 300–350 years after Joshua’s death. With no central king and no unified leadership, Israel becomes a patchwork of tribes learning (often painfully) how to survive morally and politically.

The book opens with what could have been a hopeful moment: Israel continuing to conquer the land (Judges 1). But the momentum slips quickly. They fail to fully drive out the surrounding nations, and this slow compromise becomes the seed of deeper issues.

Bible Project videos often highlight this as “the beginning of the downward spiral” which is a theme that defines the rest of the book.

The Cycle: Sin → Oppression → Cry for Help → Deliverance

One of the clearest patterns in Judges is its repeated spiritual and social cycle:

Israel abandons God for the idols of surrounding nations
Foreign oppression rises
Israel cries out in distress
God raises a judge: a spirit-empowered leader
Temporary peace, until the cycle starts all over again

If you’ve seen animated Bible summaries, they often use a literal spiral graphic to show how each cycle gets worse than the last, less faithful, less heroic, and more tragic.

The Judges Themselves: Imperfect Heroes

“Judge” here doesn’t mean a courtroom official; it means a military deliverer and regional leader. Some are well-known; others get only a verse or two.

Major judges include:

Othniel – the ideal model judge (Judges 3)
Ehud – the left-handed strategist who frees Israel from Moab
Deborah – prophetess, leader, and the only female judge (Judges 4–5)
Gideon – called while hiding in fear; later struggles with pride (Judges 6–8)
Jephthah – a tragic figure known for his rash vow (Judges 11)
Samson – perhaps the most famous judge; gifted with supernatural strength but undone by lack of discipline (Judges 13–16)

Modern Bible video commentaries often explore how the judges become progressively flawed—reflecting Israel’s own growing corruption.

A Nation Unraveling

The final chapters (Judges 17–21) are some of the darkest narratives in Scripture. There are no judges, no heroes just moral chaos. These stories show:

Idolatry spreading unchecked
Violence and civil war between tribes
A society drifting far from God’s laws

The repeated line, highlighted in many dramatic retellings and commentaries, serves as the book’s haunting refrain:

“In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
— Judges 21:25

It’s not just a summary, it’s a warning.

Why Judges Still Matters

Judges is more than a collection of wild stories; it’s a historical mirror. It shows the dangers of spiritual forgetfulness, the consequences of compromise, and the resilience of God’s mercy. Every time Israel breaks the covenant, God raises up deliverance as imperfect though it may be.

Bible Project videos emphasize that the book ultimately creates longing:
longing for true leadership, true transformation, and a king who can lead with righteousness.

That longing sets the stage for the books of Samuel and the rise of David.

Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace Review

Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace is not just a film—it’s an emotional journey that gently wraps your heart in warmth, compassion, and hope. From the very first frame, it’s clear that this story is driven by a deep desire to uplift and inspire, and it succeeds with grace.

At the center is Lucy, a radiant little girl whose innocence and unwavering faith become the emotional core of the film. Despite her illness, Lucy’s optimism never falters. Her belief in kindness, love, and the healing power of compassion is both humbling and profoundly moving. Through her eyes, we see a world where forgiveness and second chances are possible—even for those who believe they’ve fallen too far.

The film’s connection between Lucy and Edgar, a hardened inmate, is nothing short of miraculous. Their bond speaks to the redemptive power of love and how the purest hearts can reach the darkest souls. Watching Edgar’s transformation, prompted by Lucy’s courage and unwavering light, is one of the most emotionally powerful elements of the story.

What truly elevates Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace is its unapologetic embrace of faith—not in a preachy way, but in a deeply human, healing sense. It reminds us that even in the darkest times, peace can find us, often through the most unexpected messengers.

The performances are gentle and heartfelt, especially from Scarlett Diamond as Lucy. Her portrayal is so genuine that it lingers long after the credits roll. The film’s direction, pacing, and soundtrack all complement the story’s emotional resonance.

In a world often clouded with cynicism, Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace is a rare and beautiful reminder of hope, second chances, and the quiet power of grace. Prepare to cry, reflect, and be moved—it’s a story that leaves a lasting impression on the soul.

Nahum

Written by: the Prophet Nahum

A collection of poems announcing the downfall of Assyria and Nineveh

Assyria was one of the great ancient empires and also known as one of Israel’s great oppressors. Assyria’s expansion into Israel destroyed The Northern Kingdom and it’s tribe there. (2Kings17)

The fall of Assyria came in 612 BC, Babylonians rose up and took the city of Nineveh (Assyria’s capital) Chapter two depicts the fall of the city of Nineveh followed by chapter three where it depicts the fall of the empire entirely. BUT chapter one’s introduction to the book begins with the Lord’s anger and how he plans on seeking vengeance for his people of Israel and heal the oppressed and those who go against Him. God appears to judge the evil among nations.

“The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him.” Nahum 1:7

Nahum quotes Exodus (34: 6-7) by saying The Lord is slow to get angry, but His power is great and He never lets the guilty go unpunished. The poems then goes on to discuss the differences and similarities to The Fate of the Nations vs. The Fate of God’s Faithful Remnant. He never mentions Ninevah or Assyria by name in chapter one which could imply a few things:

Nahum is portraying Ninevah’s fall as an example of how God is at work in different points of history.

Chapter two then brutally depicts the battle of Ninveah and the state in which the city becomes.

Chapter three goes into detail about how the city’s downfall effects Assyrian’s as a whole. “Woe to the city built on innocent blood” He proceeds to explain that their own voilence is what ultimately lead to their downfall.

Made to Know God

Jeremiah 9:23-24

“This is what the LORD says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.”

There is a difference in knowing God, believing in God and knowing that you can have a real, life-giving relationship with God. You are not only made by God but you are also created to know God through a personal relationship with Jesus, His son. When I was a little girl, I was inspired by the love of Christ. I wanted to be like Jesus when I grew up. I wanted to be someone who gave people wonderful advice in mysterious ways. I wanted to be someone that people came to in their time of need. I wanted to be a guiding light for those who need it but most importantly, I wanted to show the world that unconditional love was possible.

There has never been a moment in your life that you have not been loved by the Lord. Jesus loves the broken, the sick, the suffering. He is closest to those who need Him and find refuge in Him. More importantly, He is closest to those who love Him. Jesus is a Savior and He is there to save us in our times of worry and doubt. Nothing will ever separate you from the love of Christ. Our unbelief cannot. Our bad decisions cannot. Our pride and self-sufficiency cannot. You will never escape His love for you.

Romans 8:38

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.”

In Christ we discover that we are radically loved without condition, completely forgiven, made to live forever and never too far gone.

Jesus, help me remember that I am created to have a friendship with you. Help me define myself as being radically loved by you as I seek you with my whole heart. Take my life and make me who you created me to be.

amen,

Highlights from James 2 & 3

James 2

“Doesn’t your discrimination show that your judgements are guided by evil motives?”

Loving your neighbor as yourself is just as an important commandment as not murdering someone. It’s important to come to a situation with an open heart. Show grace and mercy to one another.

“There will be no mercy to those who have not shown mercy to each other.”

“Faith by itself isn’t enough, unless it has produced good deeds.”

I will show my faith with my good deeds. You must do more than just believe in God. You must go out and show the world who being loved by God has transformed you to be. What it’s meant to be loved my God. You must be good and just in the world. Just as He has been to do.

James 3

“But a tiny spark can set a great forest fire.”

When it comes to controlling thy tongue it’s important to note that the tongue is a flame of fire, it is a whole world of wickedness. Just as you cant draw fresh water from a salty spring you can also not draw goodness from a troubled mouth. You can’t curse something then praise the Lord with the same mouth. Be slow to speak and quick to listen.

“If you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart do not cover it up by boasting and lying.”

Be true to God and yourself. Selfishness and jealousy do not come from God. Disorder and evil come from corrupt ambition.

“But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace-loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others.”

Wisdom from above is full of mercy and good deeds. It’s always sincere and without favoritism.

“Those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.”

Highlights from James 1

“When troubles of any kind come your way, consider it a great opportunity for joy.”

Not “if” but “when”. God knows we will face trials and tribulation and with his word he will give us everything we need to fight these battles.

“… Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea.”

As hard as it might be, you must have faith in God and God alone. You must be loyal to Him. Do not let your fear override your faith in Him.

“God blesses those who endure testing and temptation.”

Temptation does not come from God. He is never tempted to do wrong. When your faith is tested your endurance strengthens. God will gift you with the good and the perfect. We are God’s most prized possession and He reminds us of this throughout history. In Him, we are cared for.

“… You must be quick to listen and slow to speak and slow to get angry. “

Take time to hear what God is telling you. Do not be tempted by anger and aggression. Our human anger does not produce God’s righteousness. We must always humbly accept God’s word as it has the power to save our souls in times of temptation and weakness.

“Don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says.”

According to God, the perfect law will set you free. It’s important to apply the word to daily life. To not only read it but meditate on it and let it reside in your soul. God will bless you for doing so.

“If you claim religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself…”

Always be kind and courteous when it comes to your words. The tongue is the key to life and death, it can lead you astray. It important to season yourself with comforting words of grace and patience. Be kind to others, in word and in deed.

Forgiveness

Ah, forgiveness. Probably one of the hardest things in life to master. To forgive means to release someone of debt; of feelings of grief or negativity. It’s hard for me to forgive wholeheartedly at times. It’s easy for me to say “I forgive you” or “I forgive them” but not really, truly meaning it. My trust in them may lessen or I’ll be more caution in trusting someone again if they have done me wrong before and if someone does something wrong to the person I care about? Count me out, grudge for life. Sometimes bitterness tastes so good and I don’t quite understand why.

7 times 7

When thinking of forgiveness I always think of the parable of the unforgiving debtor, or servant depending on which bible version you have. The parable begins with Peter asking a simple question to Jesus, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!”

Matthew 18: 23-35:

“Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him. ²⁴In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars. ²⁵He couldn’t pay, so his master ordered that he be sold—along with his wife, his children, and everything he owned—to pay the debt.

²⁶“But the man fell down before his master and begged him, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.’ ²⁷Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt.

²⁸“But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment.

²⁹“His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time. ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it,’ he pleaded. ³⁰But his creditor wouldn’t wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full.

³¹“When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him everything that had happened. ³²Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, ‘You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me. ³³Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’ ³⁴Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.

³⁵“That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart.”

Do I want to live a life as a prisoner and be tortured forever? Absolutely not. Will that happen because I decide to hold on to bitterness, anger and negative energy? It certainly will. I discovered something about forgiveness recently that has changed my whole perspective on the matter. When you refuse to forgive someone, whether it is a little thing or a big thing, you are allowing that person to hold a certain power over you. Not forgiving someone is hurting yourself far more than it is hurting the other person. You are sacrificing your peace of mind when you allow others to make you feel bitter and cruel and uneasy. You are giving yourself a life of torture and imprisonment whether that is your intention or not. “An entire sea of water cannot sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly the entire negativity of the world cannot put you down unless you let it get inside you.”

Hold God above all else, this will allow you the power to forgive unconditionally. Seven times. Seven times seven times. Seven times seventy-seven times, no matter how many times we fall down God and Jesus are there to pick us back up again. To show us mercy and forgive us, we have to offer the same love and kindness to others. In order to truly allow ourselves peace of mind, we must forgive others. Peace within ourselves often times have to come from a place of grace and understanding.

Colossians 3:13

“Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.”

We are reminded throughout the bible the sacrifice that God made for us to relieve us of our sins. God forgives us as many times as we need in order to have a clean heart and a clear mind. With confession and absolution, He cleanses us from all wickedness and sins we have committed to one another; including the grudges we hold. He grants us love, peace, and understanding. He is faithful in this always and this is how we should be to our brothers a sisters. By opening up to God about our sins and our feelings, it allows us to release them and be made clean.

Prayer of David: Psalm 86: 1-16

Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
    answer me, for I need your help.
²Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
    Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
    You are my God.
³Be merciful to me, O Lord,
    for I am calling on you constantly.
⁴Give me happiness, O Lord,
    for I give myself to you.
⁵O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
    so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
⁶Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
    hear my urgent cry.
⁷I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
    and you will answer me.

⁸No pagan god is like you, O Lord.
    None can do what you do!
⁹All the nations you made
    will come and bow before you, Lord;
    they will praise your holy name.
¹⁰For you are great and perform wonderful deeds.
    You alone are God.

¹¹Teach me your ways, O Lord,
    that I may live according to your truth!
Grant me purity of heart,
    so that I may honor you.
¹²With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God.
    I will give glory to your name forever,
¹³for your love for me is very great.
    You have rescued me from the depths of death.^[a]

¹⁴O God, insolent people rise up against me;
    a violent gang is trying to kill me.
    You mean nothing to them.
¹⁵But you, O Lord,
    are a God of compassion and mercy,
slow to get angry
    and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
¹⁶Look down and have mercy on me.
    Give your strength to your servant;
    save me, the son of your servant.

As I mentioned before, not forgiving others makes you feel pent-up with anger, resentment and negativity and when you feel that way it doesn’t allow you to have an open, loving heart. When you are so consumed with unforgiving emotions it doesn’t leave much room for God and the overflowing love he has to offer. He has given you the gift of love, mercy and grace so that you may also show others and show the world what it means to be loved unconditionally and relentlessly. God always forgives us and we should show the world what that means to us.

with love,

Depression

It won’t stop the sunrise.

Depression sucks and it doesn’t pick favorites. Depression is natural. It comes from a place of deep sadness and grief and can be caused by a lot of things in our daily human lives. The loss of a loved one, the loss of a friends, a break up, a tragic event, a life change we weren’t expecting… So many things and so many triggers and it has been felt all over the world for thousands of years.

Psalm 34: 4-10

I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.
    He freed me from all my fears.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;
    no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
    he saved me from all my troubles.
For the angel of the Lord is a guard;
    he surrounds and defends all who fear him.

Taste and see that the Lord is good.
    Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
Fear the Lord, you his godly people,
    for those who fear him will have all they need.
Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
    but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.

Depression is often difficult for us to know how to handle because we feel like we need to handle it on our own. What I feel like it is important for us to understand is that when depression sneaks it’s way into our lives we are not broken or outside of God’s love. He is right there with us to help us carry our sorrows and if you surround yourself with the right people, they too with be right there with you to help carry your emotions. In Psalm 34, in Him we can pray and be answered. We can be freed from fear. We can seek help and find joy. In desperation we can pray and be heard, We can always take refuge in Him.

There is another time in scripture that we can see God’s people face this emotion. David, he was a hero and a man after God’s own heart, expresses to God that he feels lost, forgotten, empty and that even his bones ache within him. You see Job (poor poor Job) who seems like he has it all and is often times considered a righteous man ends up finding himself in a place where he wonders if there is a rhyme of reason to the pain that he feels. And of course, in the infamous, shortest verse of the bible, we even see Jesus himself weep and is moved in his spirit.

John 11:35

“Jesus Wept.”

There is so much power in that small verse. If you are unfamiliar with the story, Jesus is called to go to the home of his friend Lazarus. By the time Jesus gets their his friend has been dead for four days. The bible says that Jesus looks around at his mourning family and is moved in his spirit and begins to cry hard. The powerful phenomenon happens just a few verses later when Jesus raises His friend from the dead. This is powerful because Jesus himself knew that He was going to raise Lazarus from the dead but He still decided to take a moment and weep with his friends and those around Him. We believe in this moment that God was being intentional. He was reminding us that even though He is all knowing, He knowns that we are not. As a loving God, He steps into our pain and chooses to experience what we experience.

If you find yourself in a moment or season of depression, God is near, He is with you, and He is the great comforter.

Matthew 11:28

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

“…Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” We can always go to God in times of need. When our burdens are heavy. When we are weary and can no longer carry these things alone, we can walk with God and Christ and be revived. We can also go to our family and loved ones for support and understanding but we must also go to Him in prayer and seek refuge in Him alone and those who believe will find favor in Him.

I want to remind you again that Jesus weeps with us and wants to take away our sorrows. It’s okay to embrace the sadness on the hard days but don’t let the darkness consume you. There is light and there will always be another day. Another sunrise to look forward to.
