In this Ancient Wisdom session, we continue our larger bible study in Deuteronomy 8 and explore what it means for God to give us a good land—one with water, wheat, and hidden treasures beneath the soil. But receiving the land isn’t the end of the story. It must be worked, understood, and passed on.

We explore how the idea of wealth is connected to the land and the abundance available to us.

This conversation moves us from romanticized ideas of prosperity to the gritty reality of wealth: work, discipline, obedience, and generational training. What good is land without knowledge? What good is blessing without humility?

We reflect on ancient Israel’s journey, the danger of forgetting, and the responsibility of receiving. Wealth isn't magic—it’s covenant. And every harvest demands preparation.

Where is your land? And what are you teaching those who will inherit it?
