Out of the Crowd, Into Your Calling – Joshua 3 and the Journey of Faith

What happens when you step away from the crowd and follow Jesus into the unknown? In this bold and empowering episode, Pastor Ben Cooper and his team dive deep into Joshua 3:3–4, where the Israelites are commanded to follow the Ark of the Covenant into unfamiliar, uncharted territory—a prophetic picture of walking by faith.

With profound insight and clarity, the conversation tackles how modern society subtly brands us—from social security numbers to social media algorithms—treating individuals as data points rather than divine creations. Pastor Ben invites listeners to examine the “crowds” in their own lives: work culture, digital echo chambers, religious expectations, or even church norms that pull us away from authentic intimacy with God.

“You weren't created to blend in—you were chosen to stand out,” Pastor Ben reminds us. As the Israelites stood before the flooded Jordan River, God was preparing them to witness a miracle. Likewise, when we abandon comfort and conformity, we position ourselves for divine breakthrough.

This episode weaves together powerful Biblical truths:

• Romans 12:2 – Do not conform to the pattern of this world.
• Galatians 5 – Walk by the Spirit and not by the flesh.
• Ephesians 2:10 – You are God’s masterpiece, created for good works.
• 1 Samuel 17 – David faced Goliath by stepping away from the crowd and trusting God alone.

Listeners are encouraged to rediscover their Kingdom identity, and trust the still, small voice that says, “This is the way, walk in it.” The episode speaks to anyone who feels stuck in a system that doesn’t reflect their God-given identity—and offers hope for those longing to live with holy boldness.

Whether you're wrestling with identity, fear, or conformity, this message will challenge and encourage you to follow Jesus wholeheartedly—even if it means going alone. This is your invitation to step into your God-ordained path, leave the crowd behind, and watch what happens when faith leads the way.

Key Scriptures:

• Joshua 3:3–4 – Follow the Ark into new territory
• Romans 12:2 – Be transformed by renewing your mind
• Ephesians 2:10 – You are God’s workmanship
• Galatians 5 – Walk by the Spirit
• Isaiah 30:21 – “This is the way; walk in it”
