Stories From Sunday School: Balaam's Donkey

Questions or Comments? Send us a text! In this episode of **Sunday School Stories**, we revisit the strange and surprising story of **Balaam and his donkey** from Numbers 22. 🫏 What if this familiar story is actually a “story inside a story,” revealing something much bigger about **authority, perception, and recognizing who is truly in control**? We explore why God first tells Balaam not to go, then allows him to go, only to confront him on the road. Along the way, we unpack the repeated pattern of three refusals, Balaam’s inability to see what his donkey sees, and the clash between human ambition and divine authority. 👀 We also look beyond Numbers 22 to Balaam’s troubling legacy and how later biblical writers use him as a warning about greed, compromise, and leading others away from God. 📖 Join us as we uncover the deeper meaning behind one of the Bible’s most unusual stories on the Navigation An Ancient Faith podcast. 🎙️ \----------------------------- Visit our website: Navigating An Ancient Faith Sign up for our Newsletter Email us at info@navigatinganancientfaith.com Follow us on Instagram Discuss on our Facebook Group
