This episode of followHIM features John Bytheway, Hank Smith, and Dr. Ross Baron exploring the “historical books” of the Old Testament—Joshua through Esther—and how they reveal God’s hand in Israel’s history over roughly 800 years, from the entry into the promised land to the Persian period. They explain that these narratives show the blessings and consequences tied to the Abrahamic Covenant and emphasize that God is patient, merciful, and consistently works with His people at their level while inviting them higher.

"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonald
https://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.com

What do a former harlot, a river that parted on faith, and a pile of rocks have in common–and what does God want you to remember about all three? Dr. Camille Fronk Olson unpacks the first four chapters of Joshua from Rahab’s unlikely covenant to the twelve stones pulled from the Jordan riverbed as a reminder that the Lord’s power is worth remembering.

Dr. Camey Andersen explores Deuteronomy’s timeless themes, from the ancient shema prayer Jesus himself leaned on during temptations, to teaching children in the Church’s life-changing educational work in West Africa.
