Joshua - Where's the Manna?
While Israel wandered in the wilderness between the slavery of Egypt and the freedom of the Promised Land, God provided manna for them to eat every day. But after they arrived in the Promised Land, the manna stopped. Did this mean God abandoned them? No. It meant that they now had to start feeding themselves, using the bounty of the Land God had given them. This is a model for our Christian faith: when we first start out, as spiritual infants, God\\\'s presence is easy to sense, and everything seems easy. But God won\\\'t let us remain infants; we must grow up, learn to feed our own souls.
From Series: "Road Trip"
This Summer, we take a road trip through the Old Testament. Along the way, we stop in with some of the more famous encounters and observe how their brief encounters changed their lives.

We’re taught by our culture that we should be self-sufficient. But God never designed us to do life alone. We don’t find success in chasing one more God-moment. Rather, we should look for those who are Before, Beside and Behind us. We’ll call these intentional, life-giving relationships “mentoring relationships“. What do these relationships look like? How can we foster them in our daily lives?
