Joshua is the military campaign that follows forty years of wandering: city walls falling down, a long list of kings defeated, and a whole lot of land changing hands by force. It’s also one of the more uncomfortable books to read with modern eyes, which made for some of our most pointed conversations. We covered all 24 chapters of the conquest.
You’ll also see 5 episodes marked Dig Deeper below. The show’s format is an unstudied first read, reactions and all, so those episodes are where the hosts go back into a book or chapters they already covered to chase down their own questions and pick up what they missed the first time through. They’re not listener Q&A, just the hosts grading their own homework.
