Remembering the Exodus

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 18:47:46 GMT

Welcome back to Warrior Way Weekly!

This week, we’re looking at Psalm 105:23–45, a passage that tells the story of how God rescued His people from Egypt and led them all the way into the Promised Land. It’s a beautiful summary of the Exodus Way — the way out of slavery, through the wilderness, and into God’s promises.

The Promised Land

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Welcome back to Warrior Way Weekly! This week, we come to the final step in the Exodus Way story. After years of wandering in the wilderness, Joshua now leads the Hebrew people into the Promised Land in Joshua chapters 1 through 5. This moment is the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham, to Moses, and to all of Israel—that He would bring His people into a land of their own. It’s the end of one journey, and the beginning of another.

Our passage this week is Numbers 13–14. After escaping slavery in Egypt, crossing the Red Sea, and receiving God’s law at Mount Sinai, the Israelites finally stood at the border of the land God had promised to give them.

Jesus' Heart for Equality in Relationships

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 17:07:06 GMT

This week's episode of Warrior Way Weekly focuses on a challenging topic from the Sermon on the Mount: divorce. Jesus’ teaching on this issue emphasizes God’s original intent for marriage, where men and women are equal partners who reflect God's glory. In Jesus’ time, only men could divorce, and this often left women in difficult situations. Jesus addresses this inequality, highlighting that while divorce happens for various reasons, it was not part of God's design. The core message is that all people are made in God's image and should be treated with dignity. No matter the pain surrounding divorce, God's grace and healing are always available.
