Congratulations on completing the Desert Wanderings period! Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike to introduce the fifth biblical period, Conquest and Judges. They discuss the trials the Israelites face as they enter the Promised Land. We learn that the book of Joshua and the book of Judges are characterized by Israel's unfaithfulness, destruction, and repentance.

I love these introductions to the new periods. By the number of views, I think lots of people skip them. They shouldn't! Thank you Jeff 🙏
I don't think people know about them. I didn't know about these introductions until the intro to the desert wandering popped up in my recommendations. Now I love these introductions!
@@onetallgirl1369 Good point. I'm glad they popped up for you! They popped up for me, too, which is also how I found them.
@@onetallgirl1369 I didn’t know about these either. Just like you said, it popped up one day, and I was so excited to watch these. I will never go into the next time period without watching these first. So informative!
I was searching for the podcasts by the day numbers. These intros don't have numbers, so they are hard to find.
No, Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you. I love the Church and the truth of scripture. Thank God for Jesus Christ :)
Lord Jesus, I humbly pray for myself, Father Mike, and all the people participating in the Bible-in-Year podcast. May your word take deep root in our hearts and transform our ways of thinking, deciding, and acting. May your grace open our ears to hear and understand the word of God in the Scriptures that we may revere and treasure both the Old and the New Testaments which God has prepared for all who desire to enter his kingdom. Send us your Holy Spirit to give us the Spirit of Knowledge, that we may know God and know ourselves. Give us the grace to approach the Word of God with meekness and humility, and with an eagerness to do everything God desires. Help us to be diligent students and faithful disciples of your Word. May our hearts never grow dull and may our ears never tire of listening to your voice. Amen.
Thanks Fr. Mike & Jeff Cavins for the preview of Conquest & Judges. I thoroughly enjoyed getting this background which should be a help for me as we read on.❤🙏
If I didn’t live with the truth of presuming Christ would never leave me I would live depressed every day of my life, scared to death and unsure of whether or not God love us. I have been in that dark hole and it is awful. Thank God for Jesus Christ who died for all :)
Joshua 2:9 "all the inhabitants of the land melt in fear before you." I believe that means that the Canaanites who feared the Lord had fled, and only the hard-hearted remained in Jericho.
What an awesome prayer, “Lord, give me the strength to do what You put me hear to do.” Adding that to my daily prayers.
I have noticed that I am more likely to fall lately than when I was younger. I think of it as God helping me be more humble, so when I fall, I say a prayer of thanks while I'm down there and ask for help standing back up.
Thanks - I was realising this about myself too 😢. I will remember your prayer 😊
Powerful! Thank you Fr Mike and Jeff Cavins. God bless!
This is sooo good! 30mins felt so fast
"Everything is permissible and nothing is forgivable ". Some things haven't changed much since the days of Judges.
Through trials and tribulation God gives an opening…do you choose to trust or deny Him? Do you turn away or turn to Him? 2020 was a tough year for many of us, Covid was terrible, but the trials I faced then, turned me towards Him. Without it, maybe there would have been no change in me 🤔. It’s not about the curses…awesome introduction.
Thank you Father Mike and Jeff God Bless you both...
I Thank GOD for this Bible in a year podcast.
Hi, Father Mike && Jeff!! I love being a Catholic… 🥰🙏🏻 Thank you, Jeff for your insight into the next chapter!! This introduction really hit me. I feel like my mistakes are so small compared to others. I just go to confession once a month or twice even… I cry during confession time, but I feel joy in my heart afterwards!! 🧡
The discussion on the new periods pop up to see, otherwise I would not see it..Thanks, it helps..
Thank you for Bible in A Year.
I find the introductions very helpful. I am one of those people who needs to know the plot of the story before I start reading it to be able to understand it. I find the Bible, especially the Old Testament extremely hard to understand and the teaching and explanations help so much
Thanks Jeff and Father Mike
Thank you Father…praying for you and Mr. Cavins
Thank you Fr Mike & Jeff Cavins ❤️🙏🏼🌞
Continuing to enjoy this Bible Study! Awesome! Praying for you Father Mike and Jeff Cavins, and praying for all who are participating! Praying for Souls in Purgatory, and I hope you do, too. Please consider listening to the Marian Press Podcast of Saint Faustina’s Diary in a Year. It is also on UA-cam. March 2, 2022.
Thank You for this. Just what I need. ❤
🙏🏻

Thank you, Father and Jeff!
Thank you so much for this series

Looking forward to diving in to this! :)
Excellent. Great to listen to. Thank you.
Thank you for this introduction. I did not know about this facebook program.
I’m listening to this for the first time on 19 March 2023. I only found the bible in the year podcaste quite by accident in January. Is your facebook group that Jeff mentioned still active?
Not sure why people skip these parts, there cool!
"No it wasn't because if it was, in high school, I could have whipped all of you" HAHA!
Thank you for all this wisdom, knowledge, and the jokes as well!!

Hiiiii I just want to Say You may notice views go down on the episodes on UA-cam, but just know that many people started following the podcast on the ascensión app
We're so grateful that people are giving the Ascension app a try 💛
Sin and unfaithfulness. Destruction. Repentance. Sin and unfaithfulness. Destruction. Repentance. Sin and unfaithfulness. Destruction. Repentance. I wonder how many times this deadly cycle repeats in the Old Testament. It seems like that is all the Old Testament is.
We truly have a merciful and gracious God, who is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. With the cycle of faithlessness and sin of the Israelites, humanity would no longer exist if we did not have the one, true, living God! Anything less would have destroyed humans for their unfaithfulness.
God bless!
Vivat Jesus!
Summary
The context discusses the book of Joshua and the conquest of Canaan. The Israelites have been in boot camp for a year at Mount Sinai, and now it's showtime. They are going to take Jericho and divide and conquer with a southern and northern campaign. They settle into the land, but they don't do what God commanded them to do. The book of Joshua comes to an end, and then they move into the period of Judges. The main character is Joshua, and he takes them across the Jordan River. The waters are rolled back all the way to a city called Adam, and they circumcise the young men who they didn't in the desert. The Canaanite god system worships Baal, and the very first thing that God is going to do in going into the land is he's going to move that water all the way upstream. The period of Judges is going to be difficult, and Israel is going to go through a rocky road of doing everything what's right in their own eyes. The next period they're going to enter is the royal kingdom, and Israel is finally going to say they want a king.
Notes
Approaching scripture with the right attitude
Approach scripture with trust in God's faithfulness, mercy, and justice
Avoid the temptation to make God on trial or view the stories as impersonal
Remember that the stories were written for the reader and reveal both God and ourselves
Challenge yourself to have a faithful attitude as you read the stories
The period of the conquest
Israel goes through a period of conquest as they enter the promised land
They take Jericho and divide and conquer with a southern and northern campaign
They settle into the land but do not do everything God commanded them to do
All of the land is divided up among tribes, with the exception of Joseph and the Levites
Preparing for the period of judges
Israel is about to enter the period of judges
This period will bring up many questions about why things happened and what about the innocent
It is important to take stock of your own heart and be faithful to God's plan
The next period will be the royal kingdom, where Israel finally asks for a king
I do not have Facebook? How can I benefit from Jeff Calvin’s answers to the hard questions?
This is so parallel to us today!
The virus; the trials of our life today.
The lesson God is teaching us today for those who will really hear and really see.
He is asking us to transform!!!! Stop sinning!!!
I can't find that old fb podcast Jeff was talking about that was going to go into haram warfare...does anyone have a link?
Presumption…..assuming, lack in worshiping the Lord ….taking for granted Our Heavenly’s Father’s grace?

While listening to Joshua, I realized that the war of extermination is actually completely justifiable for a simple fact: those who feared the Lord could have fled the Israelites. Those who were destroyed were the ones standing in the way of God and, as such, God called the Israelites to destroy the whole city. This may be why when the Israelites obliterated a town, then we come back to the town and there are still people. ... The difference between these "wars of extermination" and genocide is that, like the Holocaust, the whole point was to eliminate a group of people whereas these "wars of extermination" simply wiped out who was in a geographic location: people could have fled, and did not because they did not fear the Lord.
As such... Completely justifiable and I see no qualms with the "wars of extermination" in Joshua.
I like your explanation. It seems somewhat logical to me. ❤🙏
