The Practice of Gratitude: Pillars | Joshua 4:1-9

Overflow Podcast

In this message, Pastor Josh Brown teaches the power of remembering what God has done. Before Israel ever fought a single battle in the Promised Land, God commanded them to build a memorial. Not a weapon. Not a wall. A reminder.

From Deuteronomy 6 to Joshua 3–4, we see that God takes remembrance seriously because gratitude grows wherever remembrance is planted.

Israel was always tempted to forget God’s faithfulness—and so are we. But when we stack stones (moments, memories, and testimonies), we anchor our gratitude and strengthen our faith for what’s ahead.

Topics in today’s message include:

• Why God told Israel, “Be careful not to forget.”
• Crossing the Jordan at flood stage
• The meaning of the twelve memorial stones
• God’s Presence, Precepts, Provision, Power, and Positioning
• How to “stack stones” in your own life
• Why regret cannot define your future
• How nostalgia can become an idol
• Developing your personal story with God
• The testimony that shapes generations

Key Line:
“Gratitude grows wherever remembrance is planted.”

Let this message call you back to remembering the faithfulness of God—and let it move you into the future with confidence and gratitude.
