The document discusses Joshua's leadership in three areas: as the Lord's soldier by fighting God's battles with strength and courage while recognizing God was the one fighting for them; as the Lord's teacher through thoroughly instructing the people and continually reminding them of God's commands, as well as warning and punishing when needed; and as the Lord's servant by first being a servant himself, humbling himself before God, and determining to serve the Lord whether others followed or not.
