Walls Came Down: A Reflection on Ashland’s Jericho Walk

What a week we’ve just experienced in Ashland! The Jericho Walk is complete — and our hearts are full. https://photos.app.goo.gl/gpEFUpuX7hxLCsaE7

Over the past seven days, more than 200 people from eight churches joined together to circle our town in prayer, believing that God could bring freedom and hope.

Every step was a declaration that the walls holding us back don’t have the final word.

Together we asked the Lord to:

• Break chains that keep people bound

• Restore hope where despair has taken root

• Reunite families and heal fractured relationships

• End addictions and bring lasting freedom

• Bring clarity in a world of confusion — helping people know who they are and who God is

  
  

During the walk, we also lifted up our nation as we mourned heartbreaking events that happened this week — the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, the shooting at Evergreen High School in Colorado, and other losses across the country. We prayed for grieving families, for survivors and first responders, and for peace to take root where violence tried to steal hope.

Sunday’s finale was unforgettable: six laps completed through the day, then one final lap at 6 p.m. Hundreds of voices joined in worship, and shouts of praise rang out as we celebrated the goodness of our King. Just as the walls of Jericho fell, we believe God is tearing down barriers of fear, division, and hopelessness in our own community.
