Exodus: Cherished Laughs and Inspiring Leadership Lessons from Moses
Ever thought about how much a good laugh can mean in family moments? Today, we kick off with our signature lighthearted banter and some personal stories that highlight the joy and importance of laughter in our lives, especially as we age. We promise you'll come away with a smile on your face and maybe even a new appreciation for those goofy dad jokes that make family time so memorable.
We then journey through the book of Exodus, extracting timeless leadership lessons from Moses's incredible life. You'll hear about key moments like the Passover, the Red Sea crossing, and the Israelites' long, arduous journey through the wilderness. We delve into the traits that made Moses an exemplary leader—humility, patience, and the wisdom to seek advice. Through our conversation, we reflect on the challenges of leading change and facing opposition, drawing parallels to modern leadership scenarios.
As we wrap up, we examine Moses's legacy, including the logistics of leading millions over 40 years with divine provision. We discuss how Moses helped his people see the bigger picture, a crucial skill for any leader. In our final segment, we invite you to engage with us on our website, share your favorite dad jokes, prayer requests, and topics you'd love to hear about. Join us next week for an insightful discussion on Leviticus, and let's keep the conversation—and the laughter—going!
all right, yeah, uh-huh, yeah, come on, come on. All right, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 2:I don't know, should we do that in the new beginnings? I don't know, maybe we need to have a new beginning and a new season. Yeah, let's think about it.
Speaker 1:We need to think about it.
Speaker 2:We're not saying bye-bye-bye, we're just saying welcome, welcome, welcome. Why do we laugh? I don't know.
Speaker 1:Just because you love it so much, it makes me laugh. I love laughing, hey everybody, welcome to another exciting episode of the Biblical Leadership Show. Yeah, we've tried to change that intro up many times. But then we stumble and talk and it doesn't sound good. So we just got to go with the same thing, Same thing.
Speaker 2:I think some of our listeners enjoy hearing us laugh. I mean, we start out the first 10 seconds laughing. You know, I've learned that some people cannot laugh at themselves.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:They just can't laugh at themselves. And if you think about it, life is funny. Sometimes it just is.
Speaker 1:You got to figure out how to laugh more. I mean, that's a lot of people don't laugh as they go through life, as they get older, they don't laugh, they don't like that.
Speaker 2:They don't laugh.
Speaker 1:And that's one of the things that makes it. There's nothing better when you hear you know, like my kids when they do that deep belly laugh, I mean I'm just like that's so awesome, you know. So.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there were a couple of times on this trip we recently had meeting our kids that we were just laughing. All nine of us were laughing kids, grandkids, they were all laughing, laughing, laughing and I mean whether it's around the dinner table putting a puzzle together at the beach. You know, on the on the train going into Chicago, we were just laughing and that to me is one of the most joyful times as a family. It's when you can laugh and you can laugh at yourself. I mean, I was out in Lake Michigan. We were at Miller Beach there, right outside of Indiana Dunes National Park.
Speaker 2:We were at Miller Beach and swimming in Lake Michigan and on the first day we were there there were some waves. You thought it was like the ocean, the wind was up and the water was brisk. But we were out there and you know, we were standing on the floor, you know the sand, and we were probably maybe waist deep, maybe chest deep, in the water and we were watching these waves come in and and the grandkids were standing right in front of me and I didn't see this wave coming and I and I looked over and I said, watch out. And it just, I just got plastered by the side of the head and the grandkids were, and I was just, we were just laughing at me, you know, just laughing at me, and it was just like I enjoyed those times. I just really enjoyed those times.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, I, I love it when you get a good laugh at yourself and and or if you can just laugh with others, it's, it's, it's a, it's a fun thing to do. So well, hey, if you listened last week, you know that we've started a new series. We've got a year-long series that we're doing and we're basically going through all the books of the Bible and we're going to talk about the leadership lessons that we can learn out of some of the stories, to educate you a little bit more about what's in each of the books and sort of see how it plays out. And last week we opened up with Genesis and this week we're going with Exodus and lots of good stuff in this one. You know lots of good stories throughout this course of this book.
Speaker 1:So what do you think on this? What are some of your best stories? Or give us a little. I'll let you give us the overlay on this and hopefully you've been listening to our show and you understand that Dr Posey, here he's got, you know, like 140 years in the church as a, you know, pastor minister there. So you know he has a lot.
Speaker 1:He's sort of a vampire and he's just you know, this is only the last church he's at. He was at 140 years, but you know the other one before that. We won't even get into his previous things. I don't know You've got the timeline of all the biblical people that live like 700 years. You've been doing this a long time.
Speaker 2:I have, but let's just give a synopsis Now. We haven't done a dad joke, we're already five minutes into the show.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh. Yes, we have not done a dad joke, but we've been laughing at ourselves.
Speaker 2:Right, we have been laughing. Yeah, so you're a custom home builder and a motivational speaker and stuff like that. So here's a home builder joke for you All right? Can a kangaroo jump higher than a house?
Speaker 1:I do not know the answer.
Speaker 2:Yes, because a house can't jump, let's just move on to the show.
Speaker 1:I threw them both in there for that one. Okay, that was pretty good. Let me give a synopsis.
Speaker 2:Come on, nani, you got to do one more. You got one more in there, I do. He's got the emergency dad joke. I have like a hundred more.
Speaker 1:I know he's got tons of them over here. Just throw one more in there for me. So more letters than the alphabet. I know where this one's going, but I don't know.
Speaker 2:The post office.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't know where it was going. I was trying to go a different way.
Speaker 2:All right? All right, let me give a synopsis of the book of Exodus, so if people are not familiar with that book, they can have kind of an overview of that. Now, in order to understand the book of Exodus, we have to understand the book that comes before that, which is the book of Genesis, and we talked about that last week and that in chapter 12 of Genesis, god called a man by the name of Abram, who turns out to be Abraham. God changed his name. That was the beginning of the creation of the Jewish people and Abram left his home where he was. He traveled west into present-day Israel, eventually got there Over four generations. You had Abraham and Sarah, his wife, and then they had Isaac, and then they had. Then Isaac and his wife had sons, jacob and Esau. Jacob had 12 sons. One of them was Joseph, now Joseph, so a great-grandson of Abraham.
Speaker 2:He was sold into slavery by his brothers because they were jealous of him. He was sold into slavery when he was 17. He was taken down to Egypt. He was a slave. He was accused of raping officials, this man's wife. He was thrown into prison. He interpreted some dreams, so Pharaoh got him out of prison and elevated him to be the vice president of the country in charge of everything, which was crucial because there was going to be seven years of abundant harvest and seven years of famine. And so during those 14 years that there was not just a famine in—or the last seven years, not just a famine in Egypt, but there was a famine also in Israel. And so because there was a famine in Israel and that's where Joseph's family still lived they ran out of food. They had heard there was food in Egypt, so some of the brothers came down to Egypt to buy food. Joseph recognized them the first time. They went back. They ran out of food. Obviously they came back a second time. Joseph revealed himself to his brothers and then his entire family, which in the Bible it says 70, all those brothers, their spouses, their kids, all that came down to Egypt. That's where the book of Genesis ends.
Speaker 2:Now, between the book of Genesis and the book of Exodus, which is the next book we might not realize this, but there's a 400-year period of time, that is, between those two books, and during that 400 years, obviously the leaders of the nation of Egypt changed. The ones that were very kind to Joseph and his families. They all passed away. It says in the Scripture that there arose a pharaoh that was unkind to the Jewish people, and so, in order to do what the Egyptian leader, the pharaoh, wanted to do, he turned the Jewish people into slaves and they built cities. They did all kinds of things that slaves do A tragic part of one of the tragic parts of the Jewish history there 400 years of slavery. So they were crying out to God to be released of their situation there, and so what we read in the very first part of the book of Exodus is a story of how God is going to do that.
Speaker 2:And he raised up a person by the name of Moses. Now, moses, we can go into detail, we won't but he was born. There was a law that if a male child was born, he was to be thrown into the river and killed, but Moses' mother didn't do that. She hid him in the reeds. Pharaoh's daughter discovered that, so Moses grew up in Pharaoh's household, and so he was educated with the best education you could possibly have in his day.
Speaker 2:He was a brilliant man At 40 years of age. He was out just watching age. He was out just watching and he saw an Egyptian kill another Egyptian. So he saw that. And the next day he saw some of his own people, some Jewish people, fighting, and he confronted them about it and they said, hey, are you going to kill us like you did? And he confronted them about it and they said, hey, are you going to kill us like you did? The Egyptian? And so Pharaoh I mean Moses was concerned that Pharaoh might do something with him, punish him, and so he ran away and he ran east to where he was out, literally in the desert, and he stayed there for 40 years. He was a sheepherder for his father-in-law and at the end of 40 years we read this I mean, all of that happens in the first two chapters.
Speaker 2:In chapter 3, we read that Moses had an encounter with what's called the burning bush and during that burning bush experience, god called Moses to go back to Egypt and God was going to use Moses to free the people. And so one of the leadership lessons we can learn from just this one part there's so much there in chapter 3 where Moses doesn't feel he's worthy, he's not smart enough, he can't talk and he has all these excuses to God about why he's not the person to do it. And so one of the things that we can read is that Moses finally embraced his calling, and so if we're going to be a leader, whether or not we got you know, we started our own company where we get promoted to that one of the leadership principles is we need to embrace our calling. If we're going to be a true leader, if we're going to be the head of an organization or whatever, we need to embrace our calling. So Moses finally embraced his calling. He went back to Egypt. He went back to Egypt and then there was a confrontation over many, many chapters between him and Pharaoh. Pharaoh would not let the people go. Obviously, he has millions of slaves doing all their work and so he's not going to let them go. So that's where we start seeing the plagues. The final plague was the death of the firstborn. That's really in chapter 11 and 12.
Speaker 2:We read about the Passover, which the Jewish people still celebrate today, and that was when the angel of death went over. They had to put the blood of the lamb over the doorpost of their homes, over the doorpost of their homes, and the angel would pass over that house and no one in that house would die. So after that happened, the people left and went into the desert. Moses led them. Now we're talking like we don't know the exact number, but there was in the millions of people, could be two to three million people that he led. Then we read the story about the parting of the Red Sea. So they went through that. Then there's all kinds of things. We read the story about the Ten Commandments and over that book then you have the next book of Leviticus, then you have Numbers and then Deuteronomy. At the end of Deuteronomy then Moses dies. They get to the Promised Land and his person he's been training, mentoringviticus. Numbers and Deuteronomy is the story of Moses and God using him to lead the people out of Egypt into the promised land and over the next.
Speaker 2:You know, today and the next couple weeks we'll talk about the leadership principles of that. But I think what we can learn first is that Moses was a very humble man. He wasn't proud. He wasn't one of those people that think that he was better than anyone else. He was very humble. He was very patient. He didn't try to do it all on his own. He got advice from his father-in-law. He kept praying for his people. There was so much opposition from the people so many times. They kept saying we had life better back in Egypt, and you know so. Let's just think about that one principle. So many times, when a leader tries to do something new and we talked about this last week about just do one thing new, just one simple difference you don't have to turn the ship 180 degrees, just make a small change. You've got to expect opposition. There's just going to be people that are going to just say I don't want to do it that way, I'm just not going to do it. I just refuse to do something new. I'm not going to try it.
Speaker 1:People don't like change.
Speaker 2:They don't like change, even if it's for their benefit.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:They just don't like change, and so the question is how do we become a leader? How do we lead in the midst of opposition and criticism? That is a really important topic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's, you know, age old thing for a lot of leaders. You know, and I guess that defines leaders. You know they always talk about. You know and and the I guess that defines leaders, you know they always talk about. You know how you handle a stressful situation or in in cases of emergency and, and you know military leaders who steps up and who who flees. You know and runs and all that stuff is. You know a lot of leaders nowadays, they, they don't they, they are leaders by title, but when something comes up and they have opposition, a lot of them cave to the pressure, right, you know, they go the path of least resistance and like, well, okay, they know that isn't going to work, they go down this path and they cave to people being uncomfortable with the change so they don't feel like leading them into a path. Because, you know, think about this situation of saying, hey, let's go, we're going this direction. I mean that's a huge jump in faith for everybody. You know, not only the leader but all the followers as well.
Speaker 2:Correct and one of the things that and we weren't there, you know we weren't part of the ex Exodus, you know.
Speaker 1:But what we read, I mean that's right before your birth.
Speaker 2:Right before. I mean you've been in the church that long so.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But obviously we weren't there but the, I lost my train of thought, which was a short train.
Speaker 1:Yeah a short train, yeah a short train. So anyway, dad joke no.
Speaker 2:The opposition happened pretty quick, yeah, and Moses dealt with that opposition for the entire 40 years he was there. Now what we see is that they go through the Red Sea. God parts the sea. They go through it, they get up to the land and Moses sends out some spies into the land. There are 12 spies that spy out the land. They come back the land. There are 12 spies that spy out the land. They come back.
Speaker 2:Ten of them give an unfavorable report. Two of them give a favorable report. They say we got to take this, we've got to do it, god's going to be on our side. Well, the people sided with the ten, instead of the two and the two that were saying, hey, we got to do this, joshua and Caleb. The other 10 said no, we don't want it, it's going to be too much. And so the people sided with them, and that was such a tragic decision that God said okay, you can decide with that, but there's going to be consequences, and the consequences are everybody that's under a certain age is going to die in the wilderness. There's only going to be a few. The young ones, joshua and Caleb, are going to go on to the promised land. So they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.
Speaker 2:Now think about what happened in the story last week with the book of Genesis. Joseph's brothers went from Israel to Egypt to buy food. They didn't wander for 40 years to go buy food. They just got in their camels and went down there, bought food and came back. But because the people in Exodus were disobedient to God, they just wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.
Speaker 2:And so here's the thing we're going to pay consequences of our decisions, either good or bad, and we're going to pay consequences. When we have an opportunity and we don't take it as much as we pay consequences. If we choose to do something, we're going to pay consequences. So the question is we're going to pay consequences, and sometimes we have to say you know what? I know that many of you don't feel this is the right decision, but I'm going to make this decision and this is the way we're going. You better expect opposition, controversy, gossip, resistance. You just better expect it. And so the question is how do you handle that in the midst of the opposition? Sometimes you can fire people over it, sometimes you can't. It just depends on the situation that you're in. But you better expect it and you better, and it doesn't mean you don't do it, but you have to think how am I going to handle the controversy and the opposition when it happens?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it always gets me back to the thinking about the story of when Jimmy Johnson took over the Cowboys. I mean, there was so much opposition and and it was brilliant way. I mean it was pretty much like you know, this is the way we're going to do things. It's going to be different and all this stuff and and he brought in, he recruited some of his like-minded people from, you know, florida and all that stuff, and and then there was a group that sort of got on board and and there's a group that sort of got on board and there's a group said we're not doing this, you know, and well, they end up getting fired. And then the other ones went well, ok, maybe your way, isn't that?
Speaker 1:bad, right. I sort of like that big old check coming in every month, right. So then they came over, but there's still a few of them hold out, you know, and at that point he, he, slowly, you know it's like that group think where you get that group think where the majority does. So if you've got to get to the point where it's not the little minority, then when you get up to that big majority, then everybody starts sort of going all right, well, if this is the way we're really going to go, then this is the way we're really going to go. But it's a long road. I can't even imagine what opposition that you would have in a situation like this Lane. Let's go wander around for a while and see what happens, and for 40 years, right, let's keep going. You know it's only another 35 years you know, we got you know.
Speaker 2:So you think about Moses's life. He lived to 120.
Speaker 2:So you think about Moses' life. He lived to 120. So the first 40 years he grew up in Pharaoh's household educated just beyond just about anybody of that time period. The next 40 years he spent as a shepherd in the desert, taking care of his father-in-law's sheep from Egypt into the Promised Land where he dealt with those problems and those resistance and the gripe and the gossip and the grumbling for 40 years. He had to be a very patient man and just God-centered in order to be able to deal with that and had to be a man of prayer because he kept. Even though the people were grumbling, he just kept praying for them. They didn't change, but he still kept praying.
Speaker 2:I used to tell my staff okay, I want to hear all your opinions. I want to hear your. Here's what we're going to do. I want to hear your objections. I want to hear your thoughts 's what we're going to do. I want to hear your objections. I want to hear your thoughts. I want to—but I still have 51% of the vote. And so Moses had at least 51% of the vote, you know. And because he was following God, he said this is the way God is leading us and that's the way they went. There was consequences for that. But think about what would he have done. And that's the way they went. There was consequences for that. But think about what would he have done. What would it look like if he said you know what? You're right, we're going to go back to Egypt and we're just going to live there for the rest of our lives? Human history would have been totally different.
Speaker 1:Right? Was there any numbers established where they thought how many people were wandering around the wilderness?
Speaker 2:for this I didn't know Well in one particular part we read that there were 600,000 men. So the question is, how many of them were married? How many children did they have? So there's an estimate between 2 to 3 million. That's kind of a number I've seen more often than not. Okay, that's like that's a lot of people, that's a lot of people. That's a lot of people and the miraculous thing.
Speaker 1:That's a lot of food to try to find.
Speaker 2:That's a lot of food and God provided food and water for them. And even after he did that, he parted the Red Sea. They went through. He provided the manna, he provided water. They still grumbled. They still said, hey, we're not going to do. And so they were really grumbling, not just against Moses, they were grumbling against God and Moses knew that I bet it would be very difficult for him not to take that personally.
Speaker 2:And he was up on the mountain to get the Ten Commandments. He was up there 40 days praying and fasting. God gave him the Ten Commandments and during that time the people had convinced his brother Aaron to make the golden calf rebelled against it. They did all kinds of horrible things and Moses came down and just saw all of that and I bet he was weeping. He wasn't just angry, he was weeping at the people's disregard for the divine in their life. And it happened so quickly after they came out of Egypt that I bet he was just—I mean he was angry at the whole thing. But I bet he was so sad that the people lost faith that quick. They just came through the Red Sea. I mean it was just a part of it. They went right through it.
Speaker 1:I mean, if nothing tells you that God's with you, I mean, then the seas open up, right?
Speaker 2:Yes, and they walked through it and then they saw their enemies. You know, the Egyptian soldiers get drowned and they saw all of that, they witnessed all of that, and yet they're going. You know, we're not going to go that way. We just don't believe that God's for us, it's like wow. And so the question would be, as a leader, how can we help people see a bigger picture of that? And so maybe one of the things we can do is to help people see where they fit into the big picture. In the company. They might be the one that's down on the assembly line putting widgets together. Do they understand how that fits into the entire operation?
Speaker 2:Do they understand the process of the whole thing? Or like, just say, if they're working on an assembly line, do they see their part of putting on a wheel? Do they ever get to see why that part is so important?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and a lot of people can't. They can't see past them pulling this lever. Right? This is my J-O-B, this is what I do. This is I'm here for a paycheck. Well, you, they're pulling this lever. That helps the person next to you. Which helps the person next to you, helps the person on the end of the line. Which helps the company make money? Which is the truck drivers, the sales guys, it's the office staff, I mean everybody. It's a team, right? If everybody's pulling the lever and doing the tasks they have and everybody's accountable for those decisions, then that's how these corporations are successful. That's how Moses is going to be successful.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And so, as a home builder, you've got all these subcontractors, you've got your concrete people, you've got your carpenters, you've got your electricians, your plumbers, your roofers. I remember the very first house we were privileged to buy. Most Methodist pastors, the church provides a home, but this particular church had sold the home so they gave that pastor's housing allowance and we had been saving up. We knew that someday we'd buy a house. We thought it would be when we retired, but this happened about midway through my career. So we bought this home. This elderly lady lived in it. It was a two-story home. She never went upstairs, so it was like brand new. I don't know how many years it had been built maybe three or four or five but the upstairs looked brand new.
Speaker 2:And so we get into the house the very first day Our daughter's up there in the house the very first day she's up there taking a shower, okay, and all of a sudden we see water dripping off the ceiling in the kitchen, below the bathroom, and we had no idea what had happened.
Speaker 2:It's like what's going on up there. Well, when we called a plumber in, what happened is the original plumber hadn't connected the pipe to the drain in the bathtub. Okay, the pipe was there, but they had never actually connected the two, and so the water from the shower was just running out through the drain, running into the second floor and down to the scene. So it's like we might not think that what we do is important, but the littlest thing can make a huge difference, and I think that's what Moses was trying to say. Hey, our faithfulness to God can make a huge difference, not just in our lives, but in our people and for our future, and so part of the thing I think a good leader can do is to point us to what the consequences are of the decisions that we make.
Speaker 1:I like it. I like it, yeah, I like it, I like it, yeah. So what do you think that?
Speaker 2:after 40 years, do you think they had a celebration? Well, so, at the end of the 40 years which is at the beginning of the book of Joshua. Okay, so the sixth book of the Bible.
Speaker 1:Oh, so I'm getting ahead of myself. You're getting several weeks ahead.
Speaker 2:I shouldn't go to the party.
Speaker 1:I should wait and then talk about the party.
Speaker 2:Well, I'll just say there was a celebration, but not immediately.
Speaker 1:We'll just get to that. We'll get to it. I don't want to reveal the end of the story, end of the book, when we're talking about the beginning of the book.
Speaker 2:No, no, but Joshua, a brilliant leader, brilliant soldier, brilliant leader, humble man of God. And we'll get to that in a few weeks. Next week we're going to talk about Leviticus and the lessons we can learn Now. A lot of times when people read the Bible and we'll talk more about this next week they read Genesis and Exodus incredible story of history. They get to the book of Leviticus, numbers and Deuteronomy, and they just bog down. There's a lot of regulations, or rules as you wouldn't call them and they're thinking, oh, my goodness, how am I going to get through all of this? And what's the point? How does this even apply to my life? More than we realize. And so we'll talk about that next week. A little thing yes, even those rules and regulations and all of that and those three books apply to our lives today. So we'll get to that next week and look forward to it right now. It's probably time for another dad joke before we sign off. I was just waiting to see.
Speaker 1:You know, I was trying to think of any little last questions. I had to wrap up the story or anything. But you know, I think you covered a lot of it. I think we're. You know, I was just trying to think of anything on the tablets or what it would be the meaning of that as sort of the mission and the vision from a leadership standpoint or something.
Speaker 2:I would think some people call them the 10 suggestions. No, they're actually the 10 commandments. They were like the core values. Okay, if you live by these principles, you're going to live a godly life, you're going to have an incredible family, you're going to have a good future, you're going to have a productive life. A lot of people said, no, I don't want to do that. What we see in the Scripture is the people that did live by those. That's exactly what happened is they had a very productive, holy, righteous, god-fearing life, and there's no way we see this in the New Testament. Even Paul, who was a brilliant man, grew up. You know. He said even following all the Ten Commandments didn't bring me to the spiritual depth that I wanted to until I found Jesus Christ in my life. So it's not just about following rules. The question is how are we going to honor God with everything, with our thoughts, with our words, with our actions, with our motives? That, to me, is the underlying theme of the book of Leviticus, but that's a spoiler for next week.
Speaker 1:That's a spoiler for next week. That's a spoiler for next week, or a nice setup, all right. Well, thank you, it's good. Talks about Exodus here. Do you have any Exodus dad jokes that you would like to?

Speaker 1:Because he was searching for his peak performance.
Speaker 2:Oh, let's go back. I told you man.
Speaker 1:Why was Moses such a good leader? Because he knew how to keep his people afloat?
Speaker 2:Oh, because he knew how to keep his people afloat. Okay. So we saw a lot of farms up there in Iowa, illinois, minnesota, a lot of farms and it's just like the picture, perfect. You see the farmhouse with the silo, and there was several of them that said help wanted, yeah, help wanted.
