We continue our study of the themes of books of the Bible with Deuteronomy on this week's episode of One Single Story podcast. Numbers is all about "preparation."

Pastors Stephen Mizell, Chris Rexroad and Zack Unkenholz look at the theological and practical applications of Deuteronomy, focusing on chapters 31-34. In this section, Moses hands leadership over to Joshua. Some of the questions considered on today's podcast are:

• What is God's view of leadership? How are they chosen? Why are some chosen and others not?
• What is strong and courageous? Is this a supernatural gift? Is it learned? Was this more about Joshua's apprehension to following Moses?
• Circumcision was the physical covenant in the Old Testament. Heart circumcision is the spiritual covenant of the New Testament. What does this say about the character of God?
• What does God's refusal to let Moses enter the Promised Land say about God?
• Is Moses a foreshadowing of John the Baptist? How do we learn more about God when we find a connection between the two testaments?
• What are some important elements of a leadership transition?
• Moses died before entering the Promised Land. Why is it important to finish strong? How can you do that?
• Near the end, there is this long song of praise. What does this tell us about the role of music in every situation?
