#682: Joshua Renews the Covenant – October 18, 2026
Narrative Lectionary Podcast • Post date: September 28, 2026
Joshua gathers the people, retells everything God has done, and asks them to choose. They say yes. Then Joshua tells them they can't do it. In this final episode of the covenant and commandments sub-series, Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Cameron Howard explore Joshua 24:1-15 (with optional verses 16-24), the covenant renewal at Shechem, for Sunday, October 18, 2026. They trace how the covenant must be renewed in every generation and why God's faithfulness, not Israel's, is what holds the story together.
