For those who are new to our monthly Chapel recaps, you can start here with the why behind having these each month. If you’ve been around awhile, here are some notes from our November Chapel.

Our November 2026 Chapel speaker brought us some notes on Joshua 14 and the example that Caleb has for us.

Caleb’s example of following the LORD looks like…

1. Personally
2. Trustingly
3. Whole-Heartedly
4. Enduringly

Personally

Caleb has been around for a while now (more on that later) but he was still as strong as he was in his youth. He was not the one in command – he was under Moses and then Joshua. But these verses want to focus on Caleb. As we can tell, he may have not been in charge, but the LORD was evident as being first in his heart.

Trustingly

He may be most famous for being one of the two who knew the Israelites could take over the land promised to them. Even though their people were giants, he knew that God has even bigger.

Whole-Heartedly

Caleb is mentioned 16 times in the Bible. On 6 of those mentions, he is listed as “wholly following the LORD.” At this time in Joshua 14, he is now 85 years old. He is not even an Israelite, but a Kenizzite. And the Bible still describes him as wholly following the Lord. Caleb was one of two people who made it out of the desert wandering and into the Promised Land.

Enduringly

Caleb didn’t see his old age as a retirement, but as a re-deployment. He still has meaningful work to do. Chapter 11 even says that Joshua left nothing undone. (What does that feel like?) Psalm 92:12 even echoes this concept: the righteous still bear fruit in their old age.

As I am personally nearing another decade, what great comfort that verse brings. May we all be able to say we were faithful to the end. Enduring whole-heartedly. Thanks be to God.
