Can God use a rebellious prophet and a talking donkey to accomplish His will? In this episode, journey through Numbers 21–25 as Israel secures significant victories but faces new challenges from a scheming Moabite king and a greedy prophet named Balaam. Discover how God used Balaam, despite his selfish motives, to bless Israel and even foretell the coming Messiah.

But the story takes a sobering turn when Balaam introduces a strategy that tempts Israel into immorality and idolatry, resulting in devastating consequences. Learn how God’s sovereignty shines through human failure and wickedness, and see how His plans cannot be thwarted.

This episode offers powerful lessons on resisting temptation, staying faithful, and recognizing that God’s purposes will prevail, even through unlikely instruments. If you’ve ever wondered how God works in unexpected ways, this episode will encourage and challenge you to trust Him in all circumstances.
