In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss how much of the Old Testament law applies to Christians, addressing questions like why Christians still follow the Ten Commandments, why adultery remains sin, and why animal sacrifices aren’t practiced. Using Joshua 23:6–8 and passages from Hebrews, Romans, Matthew 5, and Matthew 11, they clarify that Christians are not “under the law” for salvation but are under grace through Jesus’ once-for-all sacrifice, while the law remains holy, reveals God’s character, defines sin, teaches wisdom, and exposes the need for Christ. They explain Jesus’ statement that he came to fulfill—not abolish—the law, outline categories such as moral, ceremonial, and civil laws and how the New Testament reaffirms or fulfills them, and distinguish obedience flowing from relationship with Christ from legalism driven by motive, pride, or imposing personal convictions on others.#ChristianPodcast #Joshua23 #inheritance #Faith #ChristianLeadership #Discipleship #SpiritualGrowth #ChurchLeadership #IfIHadMoreTimeGive

Season 3, Episode 2: Living Your Inheritance (Joshua 23)| Promises, Identity, and ContextIn Season 3, Episode 2, the hosts recap a weekend of baptisms at Willow and with Christian Surfers, then dive into Joshua 23:1–5 as Joshua delivers final words to Israel emphasizing remembrance and inheritance. They connect Joshua’s charge to Jesus’ final instructions and the Great Commission, discuss how generations can receive what others fought for and then take it for granted, and explore what Christians inherit today—eternal life, the kingdom, the new heaven and new earth, the Holy Spirit as a seal, and even sharing in Christ’s sufferings. They warn against misusing biblical promises, stress reading scripture in context, and give examples of popular verses often taken out of context. The episode closes by urging believers to start with identity as children of God so they can live out their inheritance with reverence, gratitude, and faithful stewardship.00:00 Pre Show Setup00:44 Fireplace Color Debate01:45 Season Three Kickoff01:52 When Shows Go Weird02:56 Binge Culture Burnout03:41 Best Sequels Debate04:17 Weekend Baptisms Recap05:00 Joshua Message Cuts07:51 Reading Joshua 2309:41 Joshua And Great Commission15:44 Generational Slide Warning20:12 What Christians Inherit22:23 New Heaven New Earth26:53 Inheritance Is Secure29:34 The Prize Is Jesus30:16 God Is the Prize31:00 Eternity With Him31:48 Co Heirs and Suffering33:20 When Faith Costs35:03 Promises or Guarantees37:01 Defining Gods Promises39:35 Jeremiah 29 11 Context40:43 Living Spiritually Poor43:34 Accessing the Inheritance44:41 Relying on the Spirit46:00 Marriage as Case Study48:44 Inheritance vs Prosperity51:24 Asking With Right Motives54:44 Faith Without Extremes56:18 Asking and Waiting56:58 Contentment and Faith57:29 Familiarity Breeds Contempt59:18 Holy Fear and Reverence01:03:21 Out of Context Promises01:08:35 Reading Scripture Wisely01:11:46 Living From Identity01:13:30 Community and Next Week01:15:17 Final Updat

We’re Back! Season 3 Starts in Joshua 22: Assumptions, Conflict, and Biblical Unity (If I Had More Time)The Jeff & George return after a two-month break to launch season three of the If I Had More Time podcast in a new, still-in-progress studio, with a new intro, new formats, and a new Monday release schedule to better serve group leaders and discipleship. They recap the podcast’s purpose—going deeper into the Sunday sermon—and begin in Joshua 22, summarizing the confrontation between the eastern tribes (Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh) and the western tribes over a large altar that was built as a witness, not for sacrifices, nearly triggering civil war due to assumptions. The discussion focuses on handling conflict biblically, seeking clarification, avoiding assigning motives, and understanding unity versus uniformity within the church and relationships. They introduce a “Hot or Holy” segment, announce a redesigned webpage for submitting questions and stories, and preview Joshua 23 as Joshua’s charge to the people.00:00 Podcast Returns New Set01:21 Season Three Updates02:44 Why Episodes Drop Mondays04:17 Podcast Purpose Explained04:57 Are You Confrontational07:24 Back to Joshua 2208:09 Reading The Altar Story12:01 Lessons From The Altar16:32 Assumptions And Church Unity20:48 Unity Versus Uniformity25:45 Why We Assume The Worst28:25 Discernment Or Assumption31:24 Confront With Humility35:44 Assumptions in Marriage37:28 Clarity With Authority38:29 When to Confront Sin39:50 Matthew 18 Process42:15 Pray or Intervene46:25 Unity and Boundaries49:36 Cancel Culture and Disagreement51:42 Hot or Holy Segment56:49 Audience Questions Setup58:19 Final Takeaway and Next Week01:01:39 Wrap Up and Call to ActionWatch More Messages:https://www.myrhythmchurch.com/rhythm-sermonsNew to Rhythm?

Jericho to Jerusalem: Zacchaeus, Achan, and the Power of Invitation (4K Subs!)The hosts discuss their podcast jingle, memorable commercial theme songs, and celebrate reaching 4,000 YouTube subscribers while hearing stories of people binge-watching episodes during travel and long drives. They explain a three-week mini-series bridging Joshua’s Jericho narrative to Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem for Easter, highlighting links between Joshua 6–7 and Luke 19: Jesus crossing the Jordan into Jericho, healing, and redeeming Zacchaeus. They contrast Achan (hiding sin, judgment on his household) with Zacchaeus (repentance, salvation for his household), connect “tree” imagery to Jesus’ crucifixion, and compare Zacchaeus with the rich young ruler to emphasize idols, surrender, grace, and fear of God. The episode ends by urging persistent Easter invitations, sharing on social media, and teasing a special online-community element for upcoming services.

Achan’s Sin, Small Compromises, and Why Obedience Matters | Joshua 7 + Worship Night at Rhythm ChurchThe hosts recap an eventful weekend at Rhythm Church featuring around 29 baptisms and discuss an upcoming, highly produced Tuesday worship night meant to create a powerful in-room experience that also translates online. They share creative-team needs including producers with administrative strengths, YouTube-focused curators, and more editors for short-form clips. The conversation then dives into Joshua 7 and Achan’s sin, emphasizing how hidden compromise can coexist with short-term “victory,” how partial obedience is disobedience, and how sin typically escalates through small steps rather than sudden collapse. They contrast gifting versus anointing, warn against excusing poor character because of visible success, and highlight themes of God’s holiness, fear of the Lord, and the Valley of Achor later becoming a “door of hope” in Hosea 2:15.

Joshua 4: 12 Stones, Remembering God in Drought & Plenty (Plus: Passover, Circumcision, and Manna to Maturity)In this episode of “If I Had More Time,” the hosts open with light conversation about Presidents Day weekend and Valentine’s Day, then transition into a discussion based on Joshua 4 and a recently preached message. They unpack the Israelites crossing the Jordan, setting up 12 stones as a memorial, and an additional set of 12 stones placed in the river as “hidden” reminders meant for seasons of doubt and drought. The conversation explores the biblical significance of building altars and tangible faith reminders at home, the idea of believers as “living stones” formed by Jesus the stone mason, and why being part of a local church is not intended to be optional. They also touch on church unity across cultures, emphasizing Jesus as the central shared foundation. The hosts discuss the difficult topic of circumcision after entering enemy territory, connecting it to covenant identity, radical vulnerability, trusting God’s protection, and the necessity of consecration and discipleship. They highlight how Israel’s wilderness mindset kept a generation from entering the promised land and apply this to modern believers who remain stuck in victim or scarcity mindsets, noting the need to deal with trauma through deliverance and therapy and to repent publicly within families when needed. They emphasize the Lord’s focus on moments over momentum, the importance of stopping to celebrate Passover before conquest, and the danger of “prosperity without remembrance,” urging gratitude and stewardship in seasons of abundance. The episode closes by previewing Jericho for next week, asking viewers to comment “stones,” encouraging subscriptions—especially on YouTube—and sharing that they are looking to hire a creative project manager and video editor for their growing team.00:00 Intro01:47 Welcome Back + Presidents Day Weekend Banter02:46 Valentine’s Day Plans (Movies, Flowers, and Mo

🎙️ “IF I HAD MORE TIME” — EPISODE 32 SUMMARYEpisode 32 is a sermon follow-up conversation centered on Joshua 3, expanding on themes that couldn’t be fully explored on Sunday. The episode moves fluidly between Scripture, theology, pastoral reflection, church leadership, and lived experience.The conversation is intentionally unscripted, beginning with light banter and cultural commentary, then settling into a deep, reflective exploration of waiting, obedience, transition, uncertainty, and partnership with God.This episode models how mature believers wrestle with Scripture slowly, thoughtfully, and honestly — without rushing to tidy conclusions.⸻Faithful obedience often requires stepping into uncertainty before clarity arrives.Stated another way:This episode repeatedly returns to the tension between:Our desire for certaintyGod’s invitation to trustWaiting seasons that feel heavy, unclear, and costlyObedience that requires movement before the miracle⸻🔹 Overview🧠 Core Theme (Primary Throughline)God invites His people to partner with Him in seasons of transition — not by certainty, but by trust.

Redeeming the Land: Embracing the True Meaning of ProgressIn this episode, we delve into the profound themes of spiritual and societal redemption as viewed through the lens of scripture. Join us as we explore the complexities of maintaining moral integrity in a world that often celebrates debauchery as progress.

What happens when obedience leads to opposition? When your yes to God gets you misunderstood, attacked — even by your own people?In this episode, we unpack Acts 21–23, where Paul faces chaos, false accusations, and violence in Jerusalem. But instead of backing down, he stands firm — not in pride, but with quiet courage. We talk about what it means to follow Jesus when it doesn’t lead to applause or ease, but to hardship, confusion, and costly obedience.🎙️ We explore: • Why obedience doesn’t always lead to good outcomes (immediately) • Paul’s use of his Roman citizenship — and what that teaches us • Cultural conformity vs. biblical conviction • Church infighting, spiritual identity, and grace-fueled boldness • The power of your testimony, especially in hostile spaces💬 This episode is for anyone feeling misunderstood, weary in the work, or wondering if faithfulness still matters.📌 Drop a comment: When has obedience felt costly in your life?🔔 Subscribe for more biblical deep dives and real talk on faith, leadership, and calling.#IfIHadMoreTime #Acts23 #FaithfulnessOverFame #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualLeadership #TestimonyMatters

Joshua 23 and the Question of Who’s Discipling YouIn this late-night “sauna edition” episode, the hosts discuss Joshua 23:6–13 and Joshua’s warning that Israel must not be formed by the surrounding nations, connecting it to Jesus’ call to make disciples of all nations and the tension of engaging culture without being reshaped by it. They unpack the difference between influence and discipleship—“influence affects you, discipleship forms you”—and explore how friends, media, music, politics, and online platforms can disciple people, sometimes more than the local church. They emphasize life-on-life proximity in discipleship, the risks of replacing a local pastor with online teachers, and the need to learn how to read Scripture with proper context and genre. The conversation ends with practical encouragement for new Bible readers, humility to correct bad theology, and a preview of upcoming Joshua messages on loving God and covenantal relationships.#ChristianPodcasts #IfIHadMoreTime #Joshua #Disciples #Faith #Church
