The Jericho Walls Fallacy: When Emotionalism Replaces Faith – EP102

Did your Jericho walls fall down when you gave a SHOUT?! In this episode, we address a recent comment defending the “Jericho shout” at the UPCI’s massive youth conference, NAYC 2025 — and we take it back to Scripture. We’ll look at why inserting ourselves into Old Testament stories leads to bad theology, and how the Jericho account is descriptive history, not prescriptive worship instruction. Along the way, we break down why Pentecostal “value of a shout” culture is more about emotional conformity than genuine faith. We’ll also explore Hebrews 11:30, what it actually teaches about trusting God, and how New Testament faith looks nothing like performance-based formulas. By the end, you’ll see why you don’t need a Jericho shout — you just need Jesus.
By prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. - Philippians 4:6 ESV
