Imma hold your hand when I say this

from In The Beginning: A Bible Story for the Girlies · host Avela Fongoqa

As we close out the book of Numbers (chapters 32 through the end), we arrive at a powerful and sobering moment for Israel — the wilderness is almost over, but not everyone is ready to cross over.In this episode, we walk through the final chapters of Numbers, where some tribes choose to settle just short of the promise, satisfied with good land instead of God’s full inheritance. It’s a warning we still need today: don’t get weary at the edge of breakthrough, and don’t stay behind when God is calling you forward.If you’ve been tired, discouraged, or tempted to settle because the journey has been long, this episode is for you. We talk about finishing well, staying obedient even when it’s uncomfortable, and why the end of the wilderness requires just as much faith as the beginning.As we reflect on Israel’s final steps before the Jordan, we’re reminded that our true rest isn’t found in settling — it’s found in remaining in Jesus. Stay encouraged in this season. The promise is closer than you think.Don’t stop short. Don’t stay behind. Cross over.
