Are We Spiritual Hitmen? Balaam, Balak, and the Danger of Misguided Obedience

⸻

Episode Summary:

This week on Spirit of Truth Podcast, we dive into one of the most bizarre and sobering Torah portions—Balak. Why did God allow Balaam to continue down a path He had already forbidden? Can we walk in obedience on the outside while harboring rebellion in the heart? And how often are we guilty of trying to bless what God has not blessed?

In this vulnerable and prophetic episode, Melissa shares her own misstep that mirrors Balaam’s journey—a cautionary tale of double-mindedness, spiritual danger, and divine mercy. Through Balaam’s donkey, an angel in the road, and an unexpected song of blessing, we uncover the truth that not everything that looks religious is righteous. God desires obedience, not performance—and sometimes, the most dangerous thing we can do is act too quickly in what we think is love.

If you’ve ever struggled with discerning God’s will, or been tempted to move ahead before He says “go,” this episode is for you.
