Have you ever wondered what it means when you keep seeing the same numbers over and over again? On your phone? On the clock? On a sign, in a book, in the Bible? Is it just a coincidence, or does it represent something deeper? Pastor Troy Brewer says that numbers can be a prophetic signal from the Lord, and if you read through the Bible, specific numbers correspond with targeted concepts and lessons. Number one represents unity, he says, and number two represents faithful witness. The number seven represents all things perfected by the spirit, while the number ten represents perfect governance. Troy is the author of the hit book Numb3rs That Preach: Understanding God’s Mathematical Lingo. He is also the senior pastor of Open Door Church in Burleson, Texas and an abolitionist who has rescued over 12,000 sex-trafficked women and children.

TAKEAWAYS

Jesus speaks often in parables, or symbols, and repetitive number patterns usually emerge here

The hero of the Bible - and of all special numbers - is Jesus, and eight is a number that represents resurrection power and Jesus Christ

Troy’s theory on the End Times timeline adheres to a 2,000-year pattern between major Biblical events - we are living in the last days

Six, often associated with the Mark of the Beast (666), represents the flesh and means completion when seen three times in a row

• A lot of culturally Christian language sounds really good… and means nothing.

• Why even prominent social and political leaders still get salvation wrong.

Segment 3

• Why do so many Christians think they know the gospel—but can’t explain it?

• Todd’s encounter at Georgia Tech reveals a bigger problem: what are churches missing?

• If key elements like sin, judgment, and repentance are absent… is it still the gospel?

Segment 4

Mary welcomes back the insightful David Holland to talk gold and silver and economies and how despite the “rich” history of gold, things are changing rapidly because of the digital age. We talk a bit about gold in the Bible, and how it has always had an impact in the world regarding value, and buying and selling. God created it, He used it for His purposes, and mankind has found many ways to discover its various functions. We talk about the current economic situation, which can change overnight especially when there is a significant war going on in a pivotal place in the world such as the Middle East. On any given day, we might rather say, “he who has the oil makes the rules”, especially when things pinch at the gas pump. We also chat about the immense changes regarding digital currencies and how they figure into the morphing of our world, leading to a specific end that we can easily understand from Revelation. David’s Substack can be found here.

Might the Resurrection be considered as the greatest encore of all time? At Easter time we celebrate a supernatural reality; an event documented by eyewitnesses both believing and opposed. A reality that is attested by the changed lives of billions for over 2,000 years, and one that we celebrate in a special edition of Heaven's Encore - the Easter Edition.

Marriage can turn a tiny thing like a kitchen light or a dishwasher into a full-blown standoff, and that’s exactly why it can also become one of the clearest places to see the gospel at work. This week, we dig into how marriage reveals what’s really in us and how grace meets us right in those unfiltered moments. We keep coming back to a simple truth: biblical marriage isn’t mainly about winning, keeping score, or getting your way; it’s about reflecting Christ. 

We walk through Ephesians 5 and unpack why the relationship between husband and wife is meant to mirror Christ and the church. That means covenant love instead of a contract mindset, sacrificial love instead of transactions, and daily grace instead of simmering bitterness. We also talk about what forgiveness looks like when it’s not just a nice idea, and why prayer, humility, and servant-hearted love matter most when you feel least like offering them. 

Then we get practical. You’ll hear a memorable conflict tool called the “third chair” as a way to remember that Christ is present in your hardest conversations. We also tackle missed expectations and communication, because unspoken expectations can quietly turn into resentment. Finally, we share a realistic marriage scenario that shows how the gospel can reshape tone, timing, and response when the stage is set for another fight. 

If you want a gospel-centered marriage that grows in holiness without denying the real mess of life, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a couple who needs it, and leave a five-star review so more people can find the show. What’s one small change that would bring more grace into your home this week?
