 6 Keys to Joshua’s Generational Playbook:

  1. Personal Ownership
    • “As for me…” Joshua 24:15
    • BIG IDEA: Dads…You are the most important person to the people who are most precious to you.
  2. Prophetic Declaration
    • As for me and my household…” Joshua 24:15
    • BIG IDEA: Men…As husband and dad (now or future, you) have the privilege and responsibility to speak life over your family.
    • Practical Hack: Be the best coach your kids ever have
  3. Immovable Resolve
    • “As for me and my household,  we will…” Joshua 24:15
    • BIG IDEA: Your kids need an anchor, not a kite.
    • Practical Hack #1: Get a meaningful life, then invite your kids into it. 
    • Practical Hack #2: Dad & Mom…get on the same page.
  4. Divine Purpose
    • “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15
    • BIG IDEA: Joshua’s vision for a NATION started with his FAMILY.
    • WARNING: You don’t have a bigger vision for your business or yourself than you do for your household. 
    • Practical Hack: Ask God to give you an articulate heaven-born vision for your family…then write it down.
  5. Catalytic Example
    • “Throw away the gods of your ancestors…but if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose this day whom you will serve…” Joshua 24:15
    • BIG IDEA: DAD & MOM…You should be the most compelling people your kids know.
  6. Generational Vision
    • “After a long time had passed…Joshua, by then a very old man…summoned the people… ‘I am about to go the way of all the earth’…” Joshua 23:1,14
    • BIG IDEA: Grandpa & Grandma…Don’t mail it in! Run hard to secure a spiritual inheritance for your kids and grandkids.

THE RESPONSE:

Then the people answered, “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods…Therefore, we also will serve the Lord, for he is our God.” Joshua 23:16ff

THE IMPACT:

“Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua and had known all the work that the Lord did for Israel.” Joshua 24:31

Big Idea: Make good battles & tell good stories.

A Joshua Generational Leader is a man who…


…Takes PERSONAL OWNERSHIP

…to make PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS over his family

…guided by DIVINE PURPOSE

…steeled by IMMOVABLE RESOLVE

…living as a CATALYTIC EXAMPLE

…carried by GENERATIONAL VISION

…to make a GENERATIONAL IMPACT

…and leave a FRUITFUL LEGACY in the wake of a life spent serving His King and making good battle with his days.

PEOPLE OF GOD, YOUR MOVE
