Pastor Giglio walks through Joshua 3, where Israel crosses the Jordan River into the Promised Land, to challenge believers who have professed faith but never possessed the fullness God has for them — calling them to stop making wilderness laps, consecrate themselves, follow the Way Maker, and step into the water trusting that God has already secured the victory through Christ's resurrection.
