In this episode, we step into one of the most surprising stories in the Bible — talking donkeys, hired curses, and blessings that can’t be stopped.

We meet Balaam, a mysterious pagan prophet-for-hire. He’s not part of Israel, but he hears from God — and when the king of Moab tries to pay him to curse God’s people, things don’t go according to plan.

Today, we dive into:

• Who Balaam really was (and why he’s so hard to pin down)
• The ancient practice of paying prophets to curse enemies
• That unforgettable moment with a talking donkey
• And how all of this unexpectedly points to Jesus

Even in confusion, compromise, or enemy schemes —
God’s blessing holds firm.

I do hope you find moments to connect more fully with those you love AND with your Bibles in study this summer!
