About this sermon

Josh Higgins closes his Encouragers series with an Old Testament figure: encouragement for the encouragers, as he puts it. The lesson follows the word "wholeheartedly," used of Caleb again and again from Numbers through Deuteronomy, and sets it against a modern life sorted into compartments where God gets only one. It lands in Joshua 14, where an eighty-five-year-old asks for the hill country with the giants still living on it, and on what it means that Joshua blessed him with a battle.
