CONVERSATION STARTERS
1. Read Deuteronomy 31:1-23.
2. This passage occurs during a major change/transition for Israel (losing Moses, entering the promised land). Share a major transition (personal, professional, or spiritual) you have recently experienced, are currently facing, or are anticipating. What are some feelings that characterize how you feel about this change?
3. The command, "Be strong and courageous," is given to Joshua and all of Israel, immediately followed by the assurance, "for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Reflect on the difference between finding courage in your own resolve versus finding courage in God's presence: Where do you habitually turn for strength when you need courage? What could it look like for you to find courage in God’s presence if that is not your default?
4. Moses' commissioning reminds us that even great leaders need support, and transitions often reveal our vulnerability amidst change. Who do you know that is in the midst of transition? What are some practical ways you can support and/or encourage them in this season?
5. Our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. How has the unchanging character of God been a source of encouragement to you in times of transition?
6. God commanded the public reading of the Law every seven years to remind the people of that which never changes (vv. 9–13). If your family/group memorized the Shema together, what was that process like? What are some techniques you used? Did you notice any changes in your heart or mind as you worked through memorizing the Shema?How can you incorporate this practice into the normal routine of your life?

– Every change comes with fear.
– With God, every change is an opportunity for courage.
• Remember God’s past action and faithfulness.
What God has done in the past is a model of what He will do in the future. Though he is too creative to do the same thing in the exact same way twice. -James Allmen
• Rely on God’s presence.
• Root yourself God’s promises.
