Walking and Waiting (Joshua 6:15)

Emmaus Church Podcast by Anson McMahon & Emmaus Church Pastors

Episode notes

Preacher: Anson McMahon

Summary

In this sermon, Anson opens with a humorous recounting of a frozen Thanksgiving half-marathon to illustrate the importance of listening to an expert - even when the advice is painful. This sets the stage for a return to the book of Joshua, where the Israelites face the impenetrable walls of Jericho. The strategy God provides - walking in circles in silence - defies all military logic and human reason.

Through this narrative, we explore why God often calls His people to seasons of "walking and waiting" rather than immediate action. It is a powerful reminder that while God's methods may seem confusing and His timing slow, His plan is designed to strip away our self-reliance and reveal His power.
