You know, in this episode, I just wanted to have some reflection.

You know, you see great figures that have gone home to be with the Lord.

And you're kind of wondering, like, what's next?

How are we going to survive this?

You know, what is God doing when our heroes die?

And I want to take you to a theme, just a thought from the life of Moses and Joshua.

Courage in the Bible is not a personality trait. It is obedience

to a command. You could be temperamentally fearful, but God calls you, if you're a Christian,

to live a life of spirit-filled courage.

Hey, folks, my name is Johnny Erdoganus, and this is Dillon. I want to thank all of you for your continued support for Dilean ministries.

He was the one that was commissioned by God to go to the most powerful man on planet earth, that being Pharaoh, and tell Pharaoh, let my people go. He was the one that parted the Red Sea. I want you to think of a guy at 80 years old that is summoning the plagues through the power

of God and leading 2 million people out of Egypt into the wilderness to worship God.

Now at the end of Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy is essentially just a series of sermons that Moses gives before he dies.

He dies, the Bible tells us, at 120 years old, and it says his strength was not abated, nor his eyes dimmed.
