Remember to Move Forward: Joshua’s Story of Courage and Inheritance

Join Shannon Bream as she welcomes back Pastor Max Lucado, bestselling author and one of the most encouraging voices in Christian faith, to explore the remarkable story of Joshua from her new book Nothing Is Impossible With God. Pastor Max reveals how Joshua was one of only two spies who saw possibility instead of giants, remembering God’s faithfulness when the other ten spies had already forgotten the miracles they’d just witnessed. With personal transparency about his own struggle with tinnitus and the discouragement of chronic conditions, Pastor Max explains why we must look backward at God’s track record before we can move forward in faith. He unpacks the powerful principle that God had already given Joshua the Promised Land—he just needed to receive it by pressing forward in trust. Using David’s memory of defeating the lion and bear before facing Goliath, Pastor Max shows how keeping an ongoing list of God’s miracles in our lives equips us to face new giants. He addresses how to handle doubters who say “you can’t do it,” encourages finding faith-filled voices instead of discouraging ones, and reminds us that inertia often keeps us settling for slavery over God’s promises. This conversation offers hope for anyone facing impossible odds, emphasizing that the purpose of biblical stories isn’t just to tell us what God did, but what God does—guiding His people through tough times today.
