On this week's show we look at our favorite TV Series Finales from Network and Cable TV. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: TCL Will Add Dolby Atmos FlexConnect to QD-Mini LED TVs Apple's smart home hub could reportedly make its debut later this year YouTube leads US TV viewing for 3rd consecutive month Top Series Finales of Network/Cable TV Shows Here is a rundown of our favorite TV Series Finales. What are your favorites? M*A*S*H – "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" (CBS, February 28, 1983)   This 2.5-hour finale remains the highest-rated scripted TV episode in U.S. history, with a 72% audience share. It masterfully blended comedy and drama, reflecting the show's tone. The Korean War ends, and the 4077th unit disbands, with emotional farewells like Hawkeye's helicopter spotting B.J.'s "GOODBYE" in stones.  The Sopranos - “Made in America” (HBO, June 10, 2007) The final episode leaves viewers with a cliffhanger that remains open to interpretation. Tony Soprano is at a diner with his family when the screen cuts to black as a suspicious-looking man glances at him. The ending doesn't explicitly confirm whether Tony is killed, but rather leaves the audience to wonder if he will continue to live under the threat of violence inherent to his mob life. The episode's iconic music, Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," plays in the background, adding to the tension and suspense. The Mary Tyler Moore Show – "The Last Show" (CBS, March 19, 1977)   When WJM-TV's new owner fires the entire newsroom except the incompetent Ted Baxter, the team shares a tearful group hug, and Mary delivers a poignant monologue. Her final act of turning off the studio lights became an iconic TV trope.      Snowfall - “The Struggle” (FX, April 19, 2023) The Snowfall saga chronicled the origins and spread of crack cocaine in South Central and how it ultimately threw Los Angeles neighbourhoods into chaos. Anti-hero Franklin Saint, who we first met on a bright summer day full of promise and big dreams, ended the series on that same street hopeless, delusional and destitute. He was last seen wandering away from the house he bought for his mother - his final possession -  as officers from the L.A. Sheriff's Department swooped in to evict him over unpaid property taxes. Newhart – "The Last Newhart" (CBS, May 21, 1990)   This finale is legendary for its meta twist. After eight seasons of running  a Vermont inn, Dick Loudon  (Bob Newhart) is hit by a golf ball and wakes up as Dr. Bob Hartley from The Bob Newhart Show (1972–1978), next to his wife Emily (Suzanne Pleshette), revealing the entire series was a dream.   The Office - “Finale” (NBC, May 16, 2013) One year later, Dunder Mifflin employees past and present reunite for a panel discussion about the documentary and to attend Dwight and Angela's wedding.The episode features cameos and wraps up several character storylines, with characters attending the wedding and reflecting on their lives and experience. Pretty much everyone gets a happy ending - “That's what she said.” Asian Jim - The Office US Cheers – "One for the Road" (NBC, May 20, 1993)   Watched by over 80 million viewers, this 98-minute finale wrapped up the Sam-Diane romance with honesty. Diane (Shelley Long) returns, but instead of a fairy-tale ending, Sam chooses his bar—his true love—over rekindling their relationship. The final line, “Sorry, we're closed,” delivered to a late-night customer, symbolizes the show's end.   Justified - “The Promise” (FX, April 14, 2015) After five seasons of rivalry and dare we say friendship, Justified's sixth and final season saw Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens put his "nemesis" Boyd Crowder behind bars. But that isn't what made the finale so incredible. Aside from giving just about every character a bit of closure, there was one scene that we'll never forget: Raylan sitting across from Boyd in prison as he lies about Ava's death and then, when asked why he traveled long and far to deliver the news in person, he finally admitted the one thing viewers have always known - that Boyd isn't his enemy. Goggins then perfectly delivered the line that said everything about their relationship: "We dug coal together."  The Big Bang Theory – "The Stockholm Syndrome" (CBS, May 16, 2019)  Sheldon and Amy's Nobel win, paired with his heartfelt tribute to his friends, closed the sitcom with sentimentality and growth, though some felt it was overly tidy Friends – "The Last One" (NBC, May 6, 2004)   With 52.5 million viewers, this finale delivered closure for the six friends' arcs. Monica and Chandler move to the suburbs with their twins, Ross and Rachel reunite, and the group leaves Monica's apartment for the last time. It balanced humor, nostalgia, and emotional payoff without overstaying its welcome.    The Good Place – "Whenever You're Ready" (NBC, January 30, 2020)   This philosophical comedy concluded with the characters choosing when to leave their afterlife, reflecting the show's themes of morality and growth. Emotional farewells, especially Eleanor's influence on Chidi, resonated deeply, set against a hopeful yet bittersweet tone.  There is a really  good series twist at the end of season one as well. Which brings up the concept of season ending cliffhangers. Maybe for another show!

In Joshua 4, after the Israelites cross the Jordan River on dry ground, God commands Joshua to take twelve stones from the riverbed—one for each tribe of Israel. These stones are stacked at Gilgal as a memorial, a physical reminder that God made a way where there was no way. Joshua tells the people: “When your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean?' you will tell them how the Lord cut off the waters of the Jordan before us.” Joshua 4 is a chapter about remembering miracles, marking moments, and passing down faith to the next generation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 34 is the final chapter of the book and brings closure to the life of Moses, the servant of God. It is a deeply emotional and reverent moment in the biblical narrative. ⸻ Key Highlights: 1. Moses Views the Promised Land (Verses 1–4): God leads Moses to the top of Mount Nebo, to a peak called Pisgah, across from Jericho. From there, the Lord shows him the entire land—Gilead, Naphtali, Ephraim, Manasseh, Judah, and all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. Though Moses is allowed to see the land, God tells him he will not enter it. 2. Moses Dies on Mount Nebo (Verse 5): Moses, the servant of the Lord, dies in Moab, just as the Lord said. His death is peaceful and divinely timed—not from illness or battle, but under God's hand. 3. God Buries Moses (Verse 6): God Himself buries Moses in a valley in Moab. To this day, the location of his grave remains unknown. This mysterious burial reflects Moses' unique relationship with God. 4. Moses Was Still Strong (Verse 7): At 120 years old, Moses' eyes were not weak, and his strength was not gone. He died with full vitality—showing that it was purely God's decision to bring his life to a close. 5. Israel Mourns (Verse 8): The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days, marking a full mourning period, and honoring their leader who had guided them for decades. 6. Joshua Succeeds Moses (Verses 9–12): Joshua is filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid hands on him. The people listen to him, and the transition of leadership is affirmed. The chapter closes by honoring Moses: “Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.” Moses had performed great signs, wonders, and miracles, and led Israel with unmatched courage, humility, and divine authority.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

In Deuteronomy 33, Moses offers his final blessing to the twelve tribes of Israel before his death. Unlike his earlier speeches filled with laws and warnings, this chapter is filled with prophetic declarations of favor, strength, and destiny. Moses exalts God as the One who led them from Sinai and then speaks unique words over each tribe—words that reflect their identity, history, and future purpose. It is a moment of divine legacy, where a faithful leader releases encouragement, hope, and spiritual inheritance to a nation about to enter the Promised Land without him. #PropheticBlessing #SpiritualCovering #SendMeRadioBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

In Deuteronomy 31, Moses prepares the people of Israel for his departure and Joshua's leadership. Knowing his time is near, Moses encourages the people to be strong and courageous, reminding them that God will go with them into the Promised Land. He hands the law to the priests and commands it be read regularly. God also foretells Israel's future rebellion but promises His presence will remain with those who trust Him.

Exodus 8 continues the story of God confronting Pharaoh through signs and wonders. In this chapter, God sends three more plagues on Egypt: frogs, gnats (or lice), and flies. Despite the suffering, Pharaoh's heart remains hardened. Through these plagues, God shows His unmatched power and reminds Egypt—and Israel—that He alone is the true and living God. #Exodus8 #PlaguesOfEgypt #LetMyPeopleGo #GodsPower #MosesAndPharaoh #SendMeRadio #BibleTruth #SpiritualWarfare #OldTestamentPowerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 21 contains laws that reflect God's concern for justice and compassion in complex situations. It addresses unresolved murder cases, the humane treatment of captive women, rights of the firstborn, and consequences for rebellious children.

Deuteronomy 20 provides God's instructions to Israel on how to approach warfare. The chapter begins with a powerful reminder: do not be afraid, because the Lord goes with them into battle. God sets rules for exempting certain men from war, offers procedures for offering peace to cities, and outlines how to deal with enemies and preserve righteousness in conflict. It's a call to trust, obey, and honor God's justice—even in war. #Deuteronomy20 #FearNot #GodFightsForYou #BiblicalWarfare #OldTestamentWisdom #FaithAndCourage #SendMeRadio #SpiritualBattle #VictoryInGodBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

In Deuteronomy 9, Moses reminds Israel that they are not entering the Promised Land because of their own righteousness, but because of God's faithfulness and the wickedness of the nations before them. He recounts their rebellion at Mount Sinai—especially the golden calf—and emphasizes that it was only through his intercession that God's wrath was turned away.

Acts 8 highlights how persecution scattered the early church—but instead of silencing the message, it helped spread the Gospel. Philip preached in Samaria, where many were healed and believed. He then encountered an Ethiopian official on a desert road, explained the Scriptures about Jesus, and baptized him.

Exodus 3 describes the moment when God calls Moses to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. While tending sheep near Mount Horeb, Moses encounters a bush that is on fire but not burning up. God speaks to him from the bush, revealing His name as “I AM WHO I AM” and commanding Moses to go to Pharaoh and lead His people out of Egypt. Moses is hesitant, but God assures him of divine support and gives him signs to prove his calling. #BurningBush #Exodus3 #MosesCalling #IAMWhoIAM #BibleStory #FaithJourney #GodSpeaks #SendMeRadio #DeliveranceBegins #BiblicalEncountersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 19 continues Moses' instruction to the Israelites about how to live as a just and holy people in the land God was giving them. One of the main focuses of this chapter is the establishment of cities of refuge—safe places where someone who accidentally kills another person can flee for protection. These cities are a striking example of how God's law balances justice with mercy. Instead of allowing a cycle of revenge, these cities ensure due process and prevent innocent blood from being shed. Moses instructs the Israelites to carefully maintain the roads leading to these cities and ensure accessibility, symbolizing the urgency and importance of protecting life even in the midst of tragedy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 18 outlines God's clear instructions for spiritual leadership and the seriousness of speaking in His name. The chapter begins by explaining that the Levites, as priests, are to have no land inheritance but instead receive their provision from the offerings of the people. It emphasizes that true leaders must rely on God, not personal gain. Moses then gives a warning against pagan practices—such as sorcery, witchcraft, divination, and consulting the dead. God declares these things detestable, as they were common among the nations Israel was to drive out. Instead of turning to dark and deceptive sources, the people are to listen to the prophet God will raise up—a prophecy ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ, the greatest prophet and final Word from God. The chapter ends with a serious caution: anyone who falsely claims to speak for God or speaks in the name of other gods must be put to death. This shows the weight and responsibility of being a true messenger of the Lord. Deuteronomy 18 is both a warning and a promise—God will provide righteous leaders, but the people must be discerning and faithful to His voice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 15 outlines God's instructions to Israel concerning economic justice, debt forgiveness, and care for the poor. Every seven years, the Israelites were commanded to observe a year of release, where debts were forgiven and fellow Israelites who were enslaved due to poverty were to be set free. This was not just a financial reset but a reflection of God's mercy and provision. The chapter emphasizes that there should be no poor among them—if they obeyed the Lord and followed His commands, He would bless them abundantly. However, in reality, God acknowledges that there will always be poor in the land, and so He commands His people to be open-handed and generous, lending freely without expecting repayment and treating the vulnerable with dignity. Deuteronomy 15 also speaks about releasing Hebrew slaves in the seventh year, not sending them away empty-handed but blessing them generously, as a reflection of God's deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt. This chapter teaches that godly stewardship involves more than personal prosperity—it calls for intentional compassion, fairness, and freedom, showing how a community governed by God's heart treats the poor and oppressed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 16 outlines three major festivals—Passover, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles—calling Israel to remember God's deliverance, rejoice in His provision, and practice justice.

Deuteronomy 12 is a pivotal chapter where Moses instructs the Israelites on how to worship God properly once they enter the Promised Land. The focus is on centralized worship—God commands them to destroy all pagan altars and not to worship Him the way other nations worship their gods. Instead, they are to worship at one designated place that the Lord will choose. This chapter emphasizes obedience, purity in worship, and avoiding idolatry. It also introduces rules about sacrifices, tithes, and the proper handling of blood, reinforcing that worship must be done God's way, not man's.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Let's go deep into Deuteronomy 10, and I will write it for you in the flowing style you like — storytelling, explanation, and meaning together, not in a bullet point or segmented format. Deuteronomy Chapter 10 — A Call to Fear and Love the Lord The chapter opens with Moses continuing to speak to Israel, reminding them of God's mercy even after their rebellion at Mount Sinai. He recalls the moment after the people had sinned by worshiping the golden calf, how God in His justice was ready to destroy them. Yet, in His mercy, God gave Moses the command to chisel out two new stone tablets like the first ones — because the original tablets of the covenant had been broken in anger at their idolatry. Moses carved out the tablets and made an ark of acacia wood to house them, as God instructed. He ascended the mountain once more, and there, in the presence of the Almighty, the covenant was renewed. God Himself wrote on these new tablets the same commandments He had given before. This moment was a sign of God's willingness to forgive and restore His relationship with His people, even after they had strayed. Moses then tells how the Levites were chosen to carry the ark of the covenant, to stand before the Lord and serve Him, and to pronounce blessings in HisBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy is Moses' final address to Israel before they enter the Promised Land. Chapter 7 continues his instructions, emphasizing God's covenant faithfulness and Israel's responsibility to remain holy and separate from the surrounding nations. This chapter feels like a father's final counsel to his children: “Don't forget who you are. Don't mix with the ways of the world. You are chosen.” Summary and Breakdown 1. The Lord Goes Before You (Verses 1–2) “When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations…” (v.1) Moses reminds the people: it is God who drives out the nations, not their strength. These nations were “greater and mightier,” but God has sovereignly chosen to displace them. The list of seven nations symbolizes completeness of conquest—God's full action to give His people space to flourish in the land of promise. Reflection: Victory belongs to the Lord. Often, what seems bigger than us is not bigger than God. He goes ahead of His people to prepare the way. 2. No Compromise, No Covenants (Verses 2–5) God commands: •Do not make treaties. •Do not intermarry. •Tear down their altars, smash sacred stones, cut down Asherah poles, and burn idols. This is not about ethnicity but spiritual purity. Intermarriage risked leading Israel into idolatry. God's desire is that they remain fully loyal to Him. Reflection: God calls His people to live distinct lives, not blending into the surrounding culture where it leads to compromise. Holiness is separation unto God, not isolation from people. 3. Chosen Because of Love (Verses 6–8) “The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you…” (v.7–8) Here is the heart of the covenant: God's love and faithfulness to His promise. Israel's election is an act of divine grace, not human merit. Reflection: We are chosen not because of our qualifications, but because of God's unchanging love. His grace is the foundation of our identity. 4. Blessings for Obedience (Verses 9–15) “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love…” (v.9) God's blessings include: •Multiplication of children and livestock •Prosperity in the land •Victory over enemies •Health and protection from diseases God ties obedience to covenant blessings—not as a transaction, but as a relationship. Obedience aligns Israel with the life God desires for them. Reflection: Obedience brings us into alignment with the fullness of life God desires. It is not about earning love but walking in the benefits of relationship. 5. Assurance of Victory (Verses 16–24) Moses reassures: do not fear the nations, no matter how powerful they seem. God will fight for them and deliver them into Israel's hands “little by little.” “Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.” (v.21) The “little by little” progression teaches patience and preparation. Sudden victory might leave the land unmanageable. Reflection: Victory in life is often progressive. God prepares us step by step, not all at once. Trust His timing. 6. Remove Every Snare (Verses 25–26) Moses warns against bringing anything detestable into their homes. Destruction is complete because idols are not neutral—they ensnare hearts. “Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction.” (v.26) Reflection: We must be vigilant about what we allow into our lives and homes. What seems small can be a doorway to compromise. Key Themes of Deuteronomy 7 •God's Sovereignty: He goes before His people, fights their battles, and secures their inheritance. •Covenant Love: God's choosing of Israel is an act of steadfast love, not human achievement. •Holiness and Separation: God calls His people to live distinctly, reflecting His holiness. •Victory Through Obedience: Walking in God's ways leads to flourishing and protection. •Diligence Against Compromise: Removing every idol and snare preserves covenant faithfulness. ⸻ Life Application Deuteronomy 7 is not just for ancient Israel; it speaks today - Remember that we are set apart for God's purposes. Do not fear challenges, for God fights for His people. Be vigilant against compromise in the small things. Trust God's timing in your journey. Celebrate God's choosing love—it is not earned but freely given. ⸻ Closing Prayer “Lord, thank You for Your faithful love and for choosing us to be Your people. Teach us to walk in holiness, trust in Your timing, and remove every snare from our lives. Help us to honor You in all we do, as we remember that victory belongs to You. Amen.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 8 is Moses' powerful reminder to the Israelites as they stand on the brink of entering the Promised Land. It is a chapter filled with lessons about remembrance, humility, and dependence on God. After forty years of wilderness wandering, Israel is about to transition from scarcity to abundance. But before they do, God calls them to reflect deeply on their journey — not to dwell in the hardship, but to understand its purpose. Moses emphasizes: Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years… (v.2). The wilderness was not a punishment alone, but a divine classroom, teaching dependence, refining character, and shaping a covenant people. ⸻ Breakdown of Themes 1. God's Purpose in the Wilderness (vv. 1–5) “Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart.” (v.2) God led His people deliberately through the wilderness to humble them, test them, and reveal their hearts. •The manna from heaven (v.3) showed that human beings do not live by bread alone but by every word from God. •Their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell (v.4). God's provision was constant, even when invisible. This shows us today that wilderness seasons in our lives are not abandonment, but preparation. God is cultivating spiritual hunger for what truly sustains us: His Word and presence. Life Application: When life feels like a wilderness — dry, uncertain, or prolonged hardship — remember that God may be refining your heart. He uses wilderness seasons to remove self-reliance and build spiritual resilience. ⸻ 2. The Promise of Provision in the Land (vv. 6–10) “For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land…” (v.7) Moses describes the abundance awaiting them: water, wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil, honey, and a land where they will lack nothing. This paints a beautiful image of God's provision and generosity. But even here, Moses warns them: “When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.” (v.10) Gratitude must be intentional. Prosperity often tempts people to forget their dependence on God. Life Application: In seasons of blessing, do not forget to pause and give thanks. Comfort can dull spiritual sensitivity if we allow our hearts to drift from the Giver to the gifts. ⸻ 3. The Danger of Forgetfulness and Pride (vv. 11–20) This section forms the heart of Moses' warning: “Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God…” (v.11) Forgetfulness is not accidental — it comes when people stop nurturing their relationship with God. Moses anticipates the temptation: “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” (v.17) But he immediately counters: “But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” (v.18) The chapter closes with a sober warning: forgetting God leads to destruction, just as it did for other nations before them. Life Application: Pride often grows quietly in prosperity. We must remember that every ability, every resource, every open door comes from God's hand. Gratitude guards the heart against pride. ⸻ Reflection Deuteronomy 8 is not just history — it's a living word for us today. It teaches us: •To see trials as God's discipline for our good. •To recognize His hand in both scarcity and abundance. •To build a rhythm of remembrance and thanksgiving. •To guard against the subtle drift of pride and self-sufficiency. The wilderness seasons and the promised lands are both part of God's loving leadership. Key Verse for Reflection: “He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna… to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” (v.3) ⸻ Closing Encouragement Whether you are in a wilderness or a land flowing with provision, let Deuteronomy 8 anchor your heart. Remember the Lord. Depend on Him. And give thanks at every stage of the journey.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Introduction: The Heart of Covenant Faithfulness Deuteronomy 6 is one of the most cherished chapters in the Torah, often referred to as the heart of Israel's faith. Known for its powerful opening declaration, the Shema (“Hear, O Israel”), this chapter is not merely a call to monotheism, but an invitation to a life deeply rooted in love, obedience, and remembrance of God's enduring covenant. Set within Moses' final speeches to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land, Deuteronomy 6 serves as both a reminder and a charge: to fear the Lord, to love Him wholeheartedly, and to pass this legacy to future generations. #biblestidy #christianpodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 3 continues Moses' recounting of Israel's journey and battles as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. This chapter focuses primarily on two major events: the defeat of King Og of Bashan and the allocation of the conquered territories to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh. 1. Victory Over King Og (Verses 1–11) Moses recalls how the Israelites, under God's command, advanced toward Bashan, where they faced King Og and his forces. Despite Og's formidable reputation and fortified cities, God assured Moses of victory, just as He had granted triumph over Sihon, King of Heshbon, earlier. The Israelites defeated Og, took control of sixty fortified cities, and utterly destroyed the region. The chapter even highlights Og's enormous iron bed, a detail underscoring the magnitude of God's victory over seemingly unbeatable foes. Reflection: This victory reminds us that no enemy is too great when God fights for His people. Obstacles that appear insurmountable in human terms are overcome by divine power and assurance. 2. Division of the Land (Verses 12–17) After the conquest, Moses describes how the newly acquired territories east of the Jordan River were distributed. The tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh received these lands as their inheritance. Moses emphasizes that this decision was not arbitrary but aligned with God's plan. He also ensures military support from these tribes for the upcoming battles west of the Jordan. Reflection: This section demonstrates God's provision and careful planning. The allocation of land ensured that the tribes were settled according to divine wisdom, and it shows a balance between enjoying God's blessings and continuing to support the community's mission. 3. Encouragement to Joshua (Verses 18–22) Moses charges Joshua with the task of leading Israel into the Promised Land. He encourages him by recalling the victories God has already provided, reinforcing that future battles will be won in the same way. The message is clear: just as God was faithful in past victories, He will remain faithful in what lies ahead. Reflection: This is a powerful leadership moment. Moses is passing the baton to Joshua with words of faith and courage. It teaches us about mentoring, preparing future leaders, and trusting in God's continued guidance. 4. Moses' Plea and God's Firm Response (Verses 23–29) In the closing section, Moses shares a personal moment: his heartfelt plea to God to allow him to enter the Promised Land. God, however, firmly denies his request, reminding Moses of the consequences of earlier disobedience. Yet, in His grace, God allows Moses to see the land from a distance. He then instructs Moses to strengthen and encourage Joshua, who will complete the mission. Reflection: This portion of the chapter is deeply human and touching. It shows Moses' humility and God's firm justice, but also His kindness. Moses' acceptance of God's will and his focus on empowering Joshua highlights the importance of submission to God's plan and supporting the next generation of leaders. ⸻ Themes in Deuteronomy 3: •God's Sovereignty in Victory: God leads His people to triumph over powerful enemies. •Provision and Preparation: God provides not just victory, but a home and structure for His people. •Leadership Transition: Moses prepares Joshua to lead with courage, underscoring mentorship and legacy. •Obedience and Consequences: Moses' story is a sober reminder of the weight of obedience. ⸻ Final Reflection: Deuteronomy 3 is a chapter full of transition — from conquest to settlement, from one leader to the next, from human limitations to divine promise. It teaches us to remember God's faithfulness, to trust His plans, and to courageously move forward, even when the path includes personal sacrifice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 4 is a powerful call from Moses to the people of Israel, urging them to faithfully obey God's commands, remember the mighty works they have seen, and teach these to future generations. It's a chapter about the importance of living in obedience not just for personal blessing, but as a testimony to the nations and a legacy for the children. Key points: •Obedience and Life: “Keep the decrees and laws, for by them you will live and enter the land.” (v. 1-2) •Remembering God's Power: Moses reminds them of what they saw at Mount Horeb (Sinai), the fire, the voice, the covenant. •Warning Against Idolatry: God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. They must not make images or worship created things. •God's Mercy: Even if they fall away, if they seek Him with all their heart, He will not abandon them. •No Other God: “Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another…?” (v. 34) •Legacy: Teach your children and your grandchildren so they will not forget. Message for today: Deuteronomy 4 teaches us to live in deep reverence for God, to cherish His words, and to pass on our faith as a living heritage. In a world full of distractions and idols, this chapter is a call back to holy remembrance and devoted living. ⸻ Now, for the Image Concept I'll describe it first, then I'll create it for you. Visual Concept: •Foreground: Moses standing on a high mountain (Mount Nebo style), arm raised, holding the tablets of the law. •Background: A sweeping view of the Promised Land in the distance, under a radiant sky with divine light breaking through clouds. •Middle-ground: The people of Israel gathered at the base of the mountain, looking up attentively. •Details: Flames around the base of the mountain (to reflect the fire at Horeb), and rays of light shining on Moses, symbolizing God's presence. •Text Overlay: “Remember His Covenant, Teach the Generations — Deuteronomy 4”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 2 continues Moses' recounting of Israel's long journey through the wilderness as they approach the Promised Land. This chapter is rich with themes of divine timing, obedience, respect for boundaries, and God's sovereign control over nations and territories. Overview of the Chapter Verses 1–3: Wandering Ends Moses recalls how God instructed the Israelites to turn northward after years of aimless wandering around Mount Seir. This signals a divine shift—God is now ready for them to make progress toward their inheritance. “You have circled this mountain long enough; now turn north.” (Deut. 2:3) This verse reflects a spiritual pivot point. Often, people dwell too long in seasons of delay, fear, or disobedience. God's word here is a clear command: stop circling and start advancing. Verses 4–23: Boundaries and Respect God gives specific instructions not to provoke or engage in battle with certain nations- Edom (descendants of Esau): Israel is told to pass through peacefully and even purchase food and water. Moab (descendants of Lot): Again, they must not fight or take their land. Ammon (also Lot's descendants): God emphasizes that He has given land to other nations as well, and Israel must respect that. This teaches respect for God's allotment—not every place or position is meant for us. God has ordered and distributed nations and territories according to His purposes. Spiritual Reflection: There's a time to advance, but also a time to respect boundaries God sets. Not every battle is yours to fight. Verses 24–37: Victory over Sihon Finally, the Lord instructs them to engage in battle: “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to take possession, that you may occupy his land.” (v. 31) Unlike earlier nations, Sihon king of Heshbon opposes Israel. Here, God hardens his heart so that judgment may come through Israel's conquest (v. 30). This echoes God's actions with Pharaoh in Exodus. Israel defeats Sihon's army, takes the cities, and fully conquers the region. However, God again commands restraint—they are not to go near the Ammonites, maintaining the earlier instructions. Key Themes 1.Obedience and Timing: God determines when we move forward. Israel's success begins when they act at God's word, not before. 2.Divine Justice: God gives and takes land according to His righteousness and purposes. Sometimes judgment comes through conquest, but always under God's control. 3.Respect for Others: Even in victory, Israel must respect other nations that God has protected. Obedience includes honoring God's justice for others. 4.Spiritual Progress: The end of wandering begins with heeding God's direction. Wandering seasons end when we are ready to listen and obey fully. Life Application Are you circling a mountain too long? Are you ready to obey God's direction even when it seems delayed or unclear? Are you respecting the boundaries God has placed in your life and the lives of others? Sometimes the breakthrough isn't about fighting—it's about listening, trusting, and waiting for the divine “Now, move.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Deuteronomy 1 serves as the opening chapter of Moses' final address to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land. This chapter is both a historical recounting and a spiritual reminder. Moses looks back over the journey from Mount Sinai (Horeb) to Kadesh Barnea and the critical moment when Israel refused to enter the land due to fear and disobedience. It's a call to remember God's faithfulness, learn from past mistakes, and trust Him for the future. ⸻ Verses 1–5: Setting the Stage “These are the words Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan…” — Deuteronomy 1:1 Moses begins his speech in the fortieth year after leaving Egypt. The Israelites are now on the edge of the Promised Land, and Moses, knowing he won't enter it, prepares the people to walk in obedience and courage. The book of Deuteronomy literally means “second law” or “repetition of the law.” It's not a new law, but a reaffirmation of God's covenant and instructions before entering a new chapter. ⸻ Verses 6–8: God's Command to Advance “You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Break camp and advance…” — Deuteronomy 1:6–7 God told the Israelites it was time to move forward from Mount Horeb. They had received the law, built the tabernacle, and camped, but now the call was to possess the land. This verse is powerful today. Many people camp in comfort zones, fear, or spiritual stagnation. But God says, “You've stayed here long enough. Move forward!” ⸻ Verses 9–18: Leadership Appointed “I cannot bear your troubles alone… Choose wise, understanding and respected men…” — Deuteronomy 1:9–13 Moses recalls how leadership was shared among the tribes. God values wise, just, and humble leaders who judge fairly, without partiality. This principle of shared leadership emphasizes community responsibility and integrity. ⸻ Verses 19–33: The Great Failure at Kadesh “But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God.” — Deuteronomy 1:26 Moses reminds them of how they reached the edge of Canaan but refused to enter because of fear. Though God promised victory, the people believed the report of the ten fearful spies rather than the Lord. “In spite of this, you did not trust in the Lord your God.” — Deuteronomy 1:32 This is a warning: unbelief robs you of promises. The Israelites saw God's miracles—cloud by day, fire by night, manna from heaven—and still doubted. ⸻ Verses 34–40: The Judgment “Not one of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give…” — Deuteronomy 1:35 Because of disobedience, an entire generation was barred from entering the land, except for Caleb and Joshua, men of faith. Even Moses would not enter because of disobedience at Meribah (Numbers 20). This shows that leadership is held to a high standard, and God's discipline is not favoritism—it's righteous. ⸻ Verses 41–46: Presumption After Rebellion “Then you replied, ‘We have sinned… we will go up and fight'… But the Lord said to me, ‘Tell them not to go… I will not be with you.'” — Deuteronomy 1:41–42 After being told they would not enter, the people tried to go up without God's presence—and were defeated. This section shows the danger of presumptuous faith. Obedience is not just doing something religious—it's doing what God says, when He says, how He says. ⸻ Themes and Lessons from Deuteronomy 1 1. Remember God's Faithfulness Deuteronomy is filled with calls to remember. We are prone to forget God's works and promises when facing trials. Faith grows when we look back at His track record. 2. Move When God Says Move Stagnation can be disguised as spiritual patience. Don't camp out where God once was. Advance when He commands. 3. Obedience Is Greater Than Ambition The Israelites tried to correct their mistake with human effort, but it was too late. Delayed obedience is disobedience. 4. Trust Over Fear Fear caused a whole generation to miss their destiny. Faith is not the absence of fear—it's choosing to move forward in trust anyway. 5. God Shows No Favoritism Even Moses faced judgment. As Acts 10:34 says, “God is no respecter of persons.” We are all accountable to Him. ⸻ Reflection Questions •Am I lingering too long in a place God has told me to move on from? •Have I allowed fear to block me from obeying God's call? •Do I trust God's promises more than my perception of the situation? •Am I walking in obedience or presumption?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Numbers 36 (KJV) 1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel: 2 And they said, The Lord commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters. 3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. 5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. 6 This is the thing which the Lord doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry. 7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. 9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance. 10 Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons: 12 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

It is not merely a logistical chapter on land distribution but a deeply spiritual message about holiness, justice, and mercy among God's people. This chapter reveals God's care for the Levites, His provision for the innocent, and His unwavering commitment to uphold justice in the land He has given His people. ⸻ Verses 1–8: Provision for the Levites God commands Moses to designate forty-eight cities for the Levites, scattered throughout the inheritance of the other tribes. These cities include pasturelands for their livestock and daily needs. •Spiritual Insight: The Levites, chosen to serve God in the tabernacle, were not given a tribal inheritance of land like the others. Instead, their inheritance was God Himself (Deut. 10:9), and these cities ensured their integration among the people as spiritual leaders and teachers of the law. Their dispersion symbolized God's Word being near to all. •Application: God's ministers are to dwell among the people, not above them. The community should support those who dedicate their lives to spiritual service. Their presence in every region also represented accountability and access to God's wisdom. ⸻ Verses 9–34: The Cities of Refuge Six of the forty-eight cities were to be designated as cities of refuge, where a person who had killed someone unintentionally could flee and find safety from the “avenger of blood” (a family member seeking justice). •Three cities were to be located east of the Jordan, and three west, making them accessible to all. Key Principles of the Cities of Refuge: 1.Mercy and Justice Intertwined The cities of refuge were not to protect murderers, but those who committed manslaughter—unintentional killing. Once the person fled to the city, the community was to hold a trial to determine guilt or innocence. 2.The Role of the High Priest If found innocent, the person had to remain in the city until the death of the current high priest. After that, they were free to return home. •Symbolism: The death of the high priest points prophetically to Jesus Christ, our ultimate High Priest (Hebrews 4:14–16), whose death sets the guilty free. 3.No Ransom for the Guilty God made it clear: no bribes, no shortcuts, and no ransom could substitute justice for a murderer. •The land would be defiled if justice was not served. 4.Blood Defiles the Land God declares that bloodshed pollutes the land, and the only atonement for such blood is the blood of the one who shed it. •This echoes God's deep value for human life, created in His image. ⸻ Spiritual Reflection The Cities of Refuge are a beautiful blend of grace and order, a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ as our refuge. Like the manslayer, all of us have sinned, often unintentionally, and we need a place of safety. Christ receives us, protects us, and takes the punishment we deserved. •Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” •Hebrews 6:18 – We who have fled for refuge may lay hold of the hope set before us. ⸻ Modern Application 1.Refuge in Christ: Are you carrying guilt? Jesus offers refuge—not to hide sin, but to transform and release you. 2.Justice in Community: God demands justice but also provides mercy. Our legal and social systems should reflect both. 3.Support for Servants: Do we honor and support those who serve in spiritual roles like the Levites? 4.Value of Life: Do we uphold the sanctity of life in our culture? God takes the shedding of blood seriously. ⸻ Conclusion Numbers 35 isn't just about cities—it's about the heart of God. He is both just and merciful, protective and holy. He provides places of safety, demands justice in the land, and shows us through the Levites and the High Priest what it means to live in covenant with Him. As we journey through life, may we remember that Jesus is our refuge, and He calls us to build communities that reflect His heart.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Remembering Every Step of the Journey Numbers 33 is not just a list of places—it is a sacred log of a people led by the hand of God. The chapter opens with a detailed record of every encampment and departure as Israel journeyed from slavery in Egypt to the edge of the Promised Land. These were the stages of the Israelites' journey under the leadership of Moses and Aaron, as commanded by the Lord. Each name—Succoth, Etham, Pi Hahiroth, Marah, Elim, Mount Hor—is a spiritual mile-marker. Some were places of miraculous provision; others, of testing and failure. But every place is remembered. Every stop is part of the divine itinerary. This chapter is a testimony: God keeps track of every step. In verses 3–5, the exodus is recounted—the bold beginning at Ramses, the defeat of Egypt's idols, and the Lord's hand over Pharaoh. The route unfolds like a map of spiritual memory: from bondage to breakthrough, from murmuring to mercy, from rebellion to restoration. Verses 38–39 mark the death of Aaron on Mount Hor, a solemn reminder that even great leaders finish their race before reaching the end. But the journey continues, led by God Himself. Then, in verses 50–56, the tone shifts to instruction: as Israel prepares to enter Canaan, they are commanded to drive out the inhabitants, destroy idols, and take possession of the land. God warns that if they don't obey, the very things they spare will become thorns in their sides. Application: Numbers 33 teaches us that our journey with God is not forgotten. He knows the details—every wilderness, every mountain, every miracle. And as we near our own “promised lands”—our purposes, callings, and fulfilled prayers—God calls us to remember the past, obey in the present, and prepare for the future. Forgetting where we came from can make us vulnerable. Remembering helps us stay humble, thankful, and faithful.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

George Chidi, journalist with The Guardian, Rolling Stone and the man behind The Atlanta Objective, sat in on recent town halls hosted by Reps. Nikema Willilams and Hank Johnson and came away with more questions than answers - not unlike their constituents. He and I had a free-wheeling conversation about a lot of what's going on, politically. Preparing the American population for Medicaid cuts shuttering nursing homes and families having to take their loved ones in ... the "fajita sizzle" media manipulation with ICE raids not adding up in gaudy numbers despite the salacious headlines ... news nuggets he brought that included the date we learn the fate of Rep. Williams as head of the Georgia Democratic Party ... his sense that there's a bubbling scandal in Atlanta City Hall ... his FOIA request for benign documents from Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis.Chidi - like many of us - is wondering who's going to step up and "do something!" to take on MAGA. Hear us discuss all that and project towards 2026 and beyond (if it even matters) ... Oh, and I promised I'd let y'all know: Georgia is looking for a freelance writer (or multiple) to help him cover the stories he's known for covering in the Atlanta Objective.

In Numbers 31, God commands Moses to take vengeance on the Midianites for leading Israel into sin through the events recorded in Numbers 25 (when the Israelites engaged in idolatry and immorality with Midianite women). After this battle, God tells Moses that his death will follow, making this one of his final acts as Israel's leader. Key Events: 1.The Command to Go to War (vv. 1–6): God tells Moses to mobilize 1,000 men from each tribe—12,000 in total—for battle against Midian. Phinehas, the zealous priest, leads the spiritual aspect of the battle, carrying the holy articles and trumpets.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

On Episode 3,548, the guys previewed this weekend’s card and also had an interview with Marc Montoya, the head coach of Factory X, and Chidi Njokouani, who fights this weekend. Lots of other stories broke as well.

Jim returns alongside Matt for an episode of UFC Unfiltered that welcomes two fighters from Saturday's main and co-main events in welterweight striker Chidi Njokuani and middleweight contender Marvin Vettori. Stopping by first is Njokuani, who discusses his career resurgence at 170 pounds and the sacrifices he's made to make the weight cut with the help of the UFC P.I. Chidi also shares how his brother and former UFC fighter Anthony Njokuani has shaped his fighting style. Then, top-10 middleweight contender Marvin Vettori breaks down the hilarious backstory that resulted in him signing up for a rematch against Roman Dolidze. The Italian veteran discusses his return from a string of injuries and how a second win over Dolidze can put him right into the mix in a stacked division. Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with three picks from this Saturday's card — with Matt finding himself just 5.5 points away from Jim's lead in their head-to-head standings.
