"And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God" (Joshua 24:1).
In this week's episode, I sat down with the absolutely brilliant London-based author, poet, and songwriter Joshua Luke Smith to discuss his new book, This Is The Main Event: Finding Contentment in the Life You Have. I wanted to chat with Joshua about how we can anchor ourselves in the present moment, overcome the spiritual numbness of modern life, and reconnect with the quiet presence of God in our everyday experiences.From performing on massive stages to running poetry workshops in UK prisons, Joshua shares how leaning into our humanity, embracing our pain through lament, and paying attention to the "ordinary" moments around us can transform our relationship with God and help us realize that the life we long for is already hidden right in front of us.Highlights from this episode include:This Is The Main Event: Joshua breaks down the inspiration behind his new book, sharing how a family mantra turned into a practical, four-stage journey (Invitation, Lamentation, Consecration, and Adoration) toward finding true contentment.The Speed of Love: Exploring the power of slowing down in a fast-paced world. Josh shares simple, intentional habits, from walking slowly to carving out 4 minutes and 44 seconds of daily silence, to hear the actual "sound of your soul."The True Myth & The Power of Story: A deep conversation on why modern culture is hungering for narrative again. We discuss how the Gospel serves as the "true myth" that anchors our isolated, individual lives into something transcendent and shared.Form Finds the Feeling in UK Prisons: Joshua reflects on his work facilitating poetry workshops with offenders. He shares moving stories of how using structure and the Psalms helps men excavate their souls, name their grief, and discover deep repentance.A Closing Blessing: Joshua finishes the episode by sharing a powerful, spoken-word blessing straight from his book to remind us that grace can make broken things repairable.More About Joshua Luke Smith: Joshua is a community builder and podcaster, as well as a poet, author, and songwriter. He's the founder of Orphan No More, a record label and creative community, and The Psalmists, a charity supporting the lives of offenders through creative expression. He's been featured in Complex Magazine, BBC 1XTRA, BBC 6 Music, Premier Radio, UCB Radio, Wordplay, and many other outlets. Joshua has given a TEDx Talk, tours extensively, and speaks internationally on the subjects of spiritual formation and creativity.Connect with Joshua:Book: This Is The Main Event: Finding Contentment in the Life You HaveAmazon UK Linkhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Main-Event-Discovering-Life/dp/191176408X?tag=linkfiregen&ie=UTF8&linkCode=as2&ascsubtag=586b4e59694a42e2717b560ef1bab802&ref=dmm_acq_soc_gb_u_lfire_lp_x_586b4e59694a42e2717b560ef1bab802HarperCollins Linkhttps://www.harpercollins.com/pages/this-is-the-main-eventWebsite & Socials: joshualukesmith.com | @JoshuaLukeSmithFollow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.

Pastor Joshua McCauley reveals the secret of the rest of God, a place not of inactivity, but of Spirit-led confidence in the finished work of Christ. From Hebrews 4 to the yoke of Jesus, from Eden's rest to the believer seated in victory, this message exposes the exhaustion of law, striving, fear, and self-effort, and calls the Church back into the posture where faith truly works. Rest is not weakness. Rest is rulership. Rest is the place where God defeats enemies, releases provision, multiplies fruitfulness, and carries what human strength could never carry. Enter the rest of Christ, and let His finished work become the place you live from.

Joshua 6 - How to Be Blessed by God - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Joshua2025/a1426.pdf
Facing Jericho's locked gates, Israel learns that God's ways aren't ours, and obedience is the path to victory. As the ark leads and the people walk by faith, the walls fall, Rahab is rescued, and we're reminded that judgment is real but mercy is offered to all who trust him. Whatever you're up against today, know that nothing is impossible with God.
Everyone worships something. The question isn't if you worship — the question is what or who you worship. Joshua 24 takes us to a dramatic moment in Israel's history, where Joshua gathers millions of people at Shechem, stands before them as an old man, and declares a truth that echoes through the centuries: “Choose this day whom you will serve … but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” This isn't just ancient history — it's our reality. In this message we unpack: • The truth about worship: It's not just singing — it's where your loyalty, trust, and sacrifice really go. Everyone has a god, whether it's money, success, pleasure, image, or the Lord Himself. • The idols that eat us alive: From Mesopotamian gods to today's cultural gods of sex, money, and power, false worship always takes more than it gives. You become like what you worship — and if your “god” is destructive, you will be too. • The unmatched faithfulness of God: Joshua reminds Israel — and us — of how God rescues, provides, and blesses. He gave Israel land they didn't build and cities they didn't deserve. He's done the same for us: rescuing us from sin, answering prayers, and providing in ways we couldn't imagine. • The weight of choice: God is holy and jealous. He demands exclusive devotion — not half-hearted, cultural Christianity. Joshua warns the people that they cannot serve the Lord unless they're all in. This is not a casual decision — it's the most important decision of life. If you've ever wrestled with divided loyalties, felt the pull of the world's gods, or struggled to go “all in” with God, this message will confront you, encourage you, and challenge you to make the most important decision of your life — today.
