Me and My House
For the father seeking to lead his family toward Christ.
Before it is a cap, it is flat pieces of cream cotton twill. The words go on first: 24:15, low on your right side, its colon two small orange stitches. On the left, three words every cap carries. Only then is it sewn together and shaped on a heated crown form. The verse is not added at the end. The cap is built around it.

Fit and construction
- Hat sizes
- 6⅞ to 7⅝, about 21½ to 24 inches. One cap that fits you, the son growing into your place, and the father who went before you.
- Crown
- Five-panel A-frame, structured, mid profile, 3¾ inches (9.5 cm) at the front. It keeps its shape on the hook by the door and on your head on Sunday morning.
- Shaped
- Set into its shape before it leaves the workshop. It holds its line because it was pressed into it.
- Craft
- The words are stitched by machine. Everything after that is people: seamstresses sew each panel, hands set the shape, and trained eyes check every step.
- Brim
- Pre-curved black cotton twill, 2¾ inches, six rows of stitching. Six lines, each doing one small job, together holding the shape. A house is kept the same way.
- Sweatband
- Cotton, matched to the crown. The part that works hardest is the part no one sees.
- Finish
- Embroidered eyelets and a top button wrapped in twill. Nothing is left raw.
- Closure
- Snapback, matched to the colorway. Adjusts in seconds, so it can be passed down or handed over.
- Material
- 100% cotton twill in light cream. Cotton softens with wear. The more days it sees, the more it becomes yours.
- Care
- Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry in its own shape. No washing machine, no dryer. A little care keeps it ready for the next ordinary day.
- Prayed for
- Every cap is prayed for before it reaches you.
To measure, wrap a soft tape around your head, a finger’s width above your ears and eyebrows. Between sizes? Choose the larger and snap it in.

Who Will Your House Serve?
Joshua answered out loud, in front of everyone. Not choosing is still a choice.
But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!

What the passage says
Joshua is old and near the end of his life. He gathers all of Israel at Shechem for one last word. Before he asks anything of them, he spends twelve verses telling them what God has already done: He called Abraham, rescued them from Egypt, fought for them, and gave them a land they did not build.
That order matters. God’s grace comes first, and the call to serve Him comes second. Joshua is not asking the people to earn God’s favor. He is asking them to respond to it.
Then he sets the choice in front of them. They can serve the gods their ancestors worshiped, the gods of the people around them, or the LORD. To “serve” here means more than attending worship. It means giving Him your loyalty, your obedience, and your whole life.
Before anyone else answers, Joshua answers for himself and his household. The people say they will serve the LORD too. Joshua warns them that they cannot do it in their own strength (24:19). He is right. Israel will fail again and again. The rest of Scripture shows that only God can make a people faithful, and He does it through Jesus.
How it was back then
- AbrahamGenesis 12
- JacobGenesis 35
- JoshuaJoshua 24
Shechem was a loaded place.
This is where God first promised the land to Abraham, and where Abraham built an altar (Genesis 12:6 to 7). It is also where Jacob made his household bury their foreign idols under an oak tree (Genesis 35:2 to 4). When Joshua gathers Israel here, he is standing on ground where their ancestors had already faced this exact choice.
The speech follows a covenant pattern.
Scholars have noticed that Joshua 24 is shaped like the treaties kings made in that era: the king lists what he has done for his people, states his terms, calls witnesses, and writes it down. Joshua does all of this (24:2 to 27), even setting up a large stone as a witness. Israel would have heard it as a binding agreement with their King.
“My house” meant more than a modern family.
A Hebrew household could include a man’s wife, children, married sons and their families, servants, and anyone living under his care. The father was responsible for its worship. When Joshua says “me and my house,” he is speaking as the head of a small community.
The other gods were real temptations.
“Beyond the River” means Mesopotamia, where Abraham’s family once worshiped other gods (24:2). The Amorite gods were local fertility gods believed to control rain and harvest. For a farming people, serving them looked like the practical way to survive.
What it means for a father
Joshua could not make every person in Israel choose God. But he could decide for his own house, and he did it out loud, in front of everyone.
A father cannot put faith into his children’s hearts. Only God does that. What a father can do is decide which way his house will face, and let his family watch him keep that decision.
Today’s idols rarely look like idols. They look like ordinary things: work that never ends, money, comfort, the approval of other men, or the phone you reach for before you pray.
Every house serves something. The question is whether a father chooses on purpose or drifts.
