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.
