JOSHUA delivers an epic tale of faith and courage perfect for family viewing. Follow the Israelites as they journey through a harsh desert landscape, struggling to survive in their newfound freedom. As Joshua steps into Moses’ shoes to lead his people, the challenges intensify—resources run dangerously low while enemy forces draw near. Between them and the Promised Land stands one final obstacle: the fortified city of Jericho. But when an unlikely ally appears from within enemy territory, Joshua must decide whether to trust in divine guidance as never before.

Journey alongside the people of Israel as they navigate their new-found freedom in an unforgiving wilderness. When Joshua is called to replace Moses as their faithful leader, tensions mount in the midst of dwindling supplies and approaching armies. With one last fortified city standing between the Israelites and the Promised Land, unexpected help emerges from behind enemy lines and Joshua’s trust in God’s plan is put to the ultimate test.
