We've come to the end of the Deuteronomy and the entire Torah. We've walked with Moses from before his birth right until his death. We've seen his high points and low points. We've seen his wide range of emotions for his people.

What lessons do these final chapters have in store? Where does this leave Israel as they stand on the threshold of a new journey?

Moses is (finally) wrapping up his speech to the people. As he's preparing to transfer leadership to Joshua, he's giving his final pleas to the people to hold fast to God.

He paints a powerful image of God to remind the people that when they fail - and they will - that God will bring them back and defeat their enemies.

In this episode, we follow Moses as he shifts from recounting laws and history to revealing the deeper moral and spiritual meaning behind Israel’s journey. He explores why people so often fail to recognize God’s presence, how gratitude fades, and why following the stubbornness of the heart can endanger an entire community. Moses warns of the consequences of turning away from God, yet offers hope through repentance, restoration, and God’s promise to “circumcise the heart.” He reminds the people that the Torah is not distant or impossible, but close, understandable, and meant to be lived. The message culminates in a powerful choice set before every generation: life or death, blessing or curse—choose life.

In this episode, Veronica explains the curses that Moses lays out to the people. She helps show how these curses would affect the people, why these are bad, and how they take in more scope than we realize.

She also starts the conversation about the blessings, but doesn't get into the specific blessings.

We finish the final laws of Deuteronomy and come back to where we started. Moses is looking at all the people and encouraging them to stay united even after he's gone.

We also look at how God's character and attributes are seen through His laws. He displays compassion while being just. He shows His justice while showing mercy. Studying these laws have given us a better view of who God is.

When the laws don't make sense, it might be helpful to look at the laws of the surrounding nations. During this episode Veronica explains how God's laws actually protect women, foreigners, and the poor. We discuss marriage, slavery, and loans. In the end, we see that God has everything perfectly balanced and fair for everyone involved.

Time to get into more laws that don't always seem connected. We discuss captive women, husbands having more than one wife, looking out for your neighbor's animals and ways God's law do protect women, even when we can't see it.
