Deuteronomy 20:1–9

Is there such a thing as a just war? In this message from Deuteronomy 20:1–9, Dr. John explores what the laws of Israel reveal about warfare — not from the perspective of military strategy, but from the perspective of justice for the soldiers themselves. From the priest’s blessing before battle to the surprising list of exemptions that allowed men to go home before the fight, this episode uncovers a God who is deeply compassionate, even in the midst of an evil and broken world.
