E9 Balaam and the Talking Donkey

Description

Have you ever read something in Scripture and thought, Did that really just happen?

In this episode of Live Life in the Spirit, Kristen Kipper and Pastor Penny Schulz unpack one of the Bible’s most surprising — and often misunderstood — stories: Balaam and the talking donkey. If you’ve ever skimmed past this account or never fully understood why it matters, this conversation will change the way you see it.

We explore how God used both an angel and a donkey to get a prophet’s attention, revealing powerful lessons about obedience, discernment, and listening to God — even when the message comes from an unexpected source. Along the way, we connect important dots between the Old and New Testaments, showing how this story fits into the larger narrative of God’s truth and authority.

This episode is rich with biblical insight, practical application, and yes — laughter. You won’t want to miss this week’s Joy Break, where faith and fun come together in a refreshing reminder that learning God’s Word doesn’t have to be dull.

Come laugh, learn, and discover how God can use even the most unlikely messenger to speak truth.

Join us, Pastor Penny Schulz and Kristen Kipper (formerly Scharrenberg), adventurers through the holy lands and warriors in Christ, as we explore the fascinating, the weird, the difficult, and the obscure while unpacking the Bible. Come and see as we dig into spiritual warfare and the fallen angels, aliens and UFOs, the Nephilim or Rephaim, prophecy, angels, giants and so much more! We promise to bring you joy, hope, inspiration, and intriguing, out-of-the box thinking, and ultimately salvation through Jesus Christ.
