The Pursuit of Manliness

In Joshua 23, we begin to wind down the life of Joshua. It is clear that he is old and advanced in years. 
Joshua gives the leaders clear instructions on how they should live, and a warning about what happens if they throw off restraint and live like the nations around them. 
Joshua has followed the Lord and led his people for many years now and it is time for him to leave this earth. He makes sure that before he leaves he tells reminds them of the truth that they have been experiencing all these years.

In Joshua 22, the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh finally head home. After years of fighting faithfully alongside their brothers, they return to the east side of the Jordan. But before they cross over completely, they build an altar—an altar that almost sparks a civil war.
What looked like rebellion was actually a desire for remembrance. What felt like division was really a plea for unity.
In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we unpack the tension, the misunderstanding, and the powerful lesson for men who want to lead well in their homes, churches, and communities.
We’ll talk about:
The importance of finishing strong after seasons of obedience
How assumptions can fracture brotherhood
Why courageous conversations prevent unnecessary battles
The responsibility men have to protect unity without compromising truth
Building “altars” in your life that point the next generation to faithfulness
Joshua 22 reminds us that mature men don’t react—they seek understanding. They don’t assume the worst—they pursue clarity. And they don’t drift from their calling once the battle is over.

In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we walk through Joshua 14–21 and confront a reality every man knows: waiting can be very difficult.

The land had been promised. The battles had been fought. But now came the slow work of allotment, boundaries, and settling in. For some, the promise felt delayed. For others, it may have felt overlooked. Yet in the waiting, God was still working.

In this episode we look at:

Caleb’s unwavering faith — decades after the promise was given, he was still ready to take the hill country. He did not grow bitter. He did not grow passive. He did not grow weary.

The steady faithfulness of God in distributing the inheritance exactly as He said He would.

The quiet obedience required to trust the Lord when progress feels slow and recognition feels small.

Joshua 21:45 reminds us: “Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.”

In Mark 11 we see Jesus showing His displeasure of what has become His temple and what it was doing to those who were to benefit from it. Many times as men we appreciate the emotion that we see from Jesus. However when we step back and consider how we are bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, (1 Corinthians 3:16) we must consider how Jesus views the way we are taking care of our temple.
