Joshua 1-8; 23-24 Part 1 • Dr. Camille Fronk Olson • May 18-24 • Come, Follow Me
5/13/20261 hr 11 min
What do a former harlot, a river that parted on faith, and a pile of rocks have in common–and what does God want you to remember about all three? Dr. Camille Fronk Olson unpacks the first four chapters of Joshua from Rahab’s unlikely covenant to the twelve stones pulled from the Jordan riverbed as a reminder that the Lord’s power is worth remembering.

Coming up in this episode on Follow Him.
Camille Fronk Olson· Guest0:03
They don't wait till the water backs up. The water's not backing up. They have to get their feet in, and how often is that for us? In doing something that the Lord has asked us to do, it seems daunting. But He says, "Get your feet wet. Trust me. Prove me, and see if I don't do what I tell you."
Hank Smith· Host0:25
[upbeat music] Hello, my friends. Welcome to another episode of Follow Him. My name is Hank Smith. I'm your host. I'm here with my sanctified co-host, who does wonders among us, John Bytheway. [laughs] John, I was reading the Book of Joshua, and I stopped there and thought, "That's John Bytheway."
John Bytheway· Co-host0:48
[laughs] I don't have that in my scriptures.
Hank Smith· Host0:51
It was right in the footnote.
John Bytheway· Co-host0:53
Yeah. Today, I wanna talk about the host of this program because a long time ago, when I was at Brigham Young University, there was a professor I had named Robert J. Matthews. And Robert J. Matthews, you may not know this, if you have ever read anything in the Bible dictionary, probably had a lot of Robert J. Matthews in it. Quite a scholar, quite a behind-the-scenes kind of a guy that had a huge impact on the church. Without him, there's not a JST as we have it today, anyway. Hank Smith was awarded the Robert J. Matthews Teaching Awards. Hank, way to go.
Hank Smith· Host1:28
Wow, John,
