Sunday Morning Takeaways: Joshua & Jericho, Listening in Relationships, and America’s Need for Revival - May 15, 2026

On this Monday edition of The Steve Marston Show, Steve kicks off the week with “Sunday Morning Takeaways,” inviting listeners to share the powerful truths that stood out from their church services. Steve reflects on Joshua chapter 6 and the battle of Jericho, highlighting a profound moment where God tells Joshua the victory is already won before the walls ever fall. It’s a reminder that God’s promises are secure even before we see the breakthrough. Listeners call and comment with meaningful takeaways about forgiveness, trusting God, spiritual grounding, prayer, vigilance, and the danger of being “almost persuaded” to follow Christ. Later in the show, relationship coach and pastor Calvin Copeland joins Steve for an in-depth conversation about communication, emotional healing, and what he calls “mutual relational deferred gratification.” They discuss why listening is more than simply waiting to respond, how past wounds shape our relationships, and why healthy relationships require intentional work, patience, and empathy. Steve also shares reflections on country artist Eric Church’s viral commencement speech about the “six strings” of life, plus powerful moments from the Rededication 250 event in Washington, D.C., featuring Franklin Graham and a timeless Billy Graham prayer calling America back to repentance and revival. The episode wraps up with a tribute to evangelist James Robison, a new “Faith Between Your Ears” scripture from Romans 15:4, and a hilarious parenting video that perfectly captures the chaos of leaving the house with kids. If you’re looking for encouragement, biblical insight, practical relationship wisdom, and a few laughs along the way, this episode delivers all of it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
