God of Liberation & Conquest

This week, Mike and Amera open the bible to discuss one of the most difficult portrayals of God. In Joshua 2, God gives Israel the land, only, the land is occupied. When God is the liberator and the conqueror, how do we sit with that? Which lessons can it teach us? 

 

Building on the idea presented in the “Under the Text” episode, this discussion uncovers motives and impact for a God that is both liberator & conqueror.
