The Tribe of Benjamin carries a story of both brokenness and redemption woven throughout Scripture. From its near destruction in Judges to producing Israel’s first king, Saul, and later the Apostle Paul, Benjamin’s legacy reveals how God can restore what seems lost and raise up leaders from unlikely beginnings. This episode explores Benjamin’s turbulent history, key biblical figures, and the powerful reminder that God’s purposes endure—even through failure.

In honor of Resurrection Sunday, we are bringing you a well known episode from a few years ago detailing the grace & mercy of Jesus through the story of Barabus. Barabbas is a striking figure in the Easter story—a guilty man set free while Jesus, innocent and blameless, is condemned in his place. His release is more than a historical moment; it’s a powerful picture of substitution and grace. In this episode, we explore how Barabbas represents each of us—undeserving, yet offered freedom through Christ. His story reminds us that the cross was never just about punishment, but about redemption.

Asher was one of the most blessed tribes of Israel, marked by abundance, favor, and prosperity (Genesis 49:20; Deuteronomy 33:24–25). Yet despite this blessing, Asher is often overlooked in the biblical narrative, rarely taking center stage in major moments. His story reveals that it’s possible to live in God’s provision but still remain hidden or underutilized. This episode explores the tension between being blessed and being fully surrendered and visible in God’s greater purpose.

In this episode, “Gifted but Not Surrendered,” we conclude our study of Balaam by looking at Numbers 31, where his story ultimately ends. Balaam was a man who clearly possessed spiritual gifting—he heard from God and even spoke powerful prophecies over Israel, including a glimpse of the coming Messiah. Yet despite being used by God, Balaam’s heart was never fully surrendered to Him. Driven by the desire for honor, influence, and reward, he ultimately counseled Israel’s enemies in a way that led God’s people into sin. His life serves as a sobering reminder that spiritual gifts, influence, or ministry success are not substitutes for obedience and surrender.

In this episode, we explore Numbers 23 and Balaam’s first two prophecies over Israel. Instead of the curse King Balak expected, God places a blessing in Balaam’s mouth, revealing that what God has blessed cannot be reversed. We discuss the powerful truth that God is not like man—He does not lie or change His mind—and His purposes for His people will stand.

In this episode, we dive into Numbers 22 and unpack the fascinating and layered story of Balaam, Balak, and the talking donkey. As Israel draws near to Moab, King Balak is gripped by fear and seeks a spiritual solution to a physical problem—hiring Balaam to curse God’s people. But what unfolds reveals powerful truths about God’s sovereignty, spiritual blindness, and the danger of a divided heart.

We explore why Balaam, a prophet who could hear from God, still wrestled with greed and compromise. Why would God initially permit him to go—and then oppose him on the road? And what does it mean that a donkey saw what the prophet could not? Through this dramatic encounter with the Angel of the Lord, we see how God will go to great lengths to redirect us, even using unexpected means to get our attention.

This conversation highlights the unshakable truth that no curse can override God’s blessing, no scheme can thwart His plans, and no hidden motive escapes His notice. Numbers 22 challenges us to examine our own hearts: Are we truly surrendered to God’s will, or are we trying to negotiate with it?

In this episode, we dive into 1 Samuel 10 and the powerful moment Saul is privately anointed by Samuel as Israel’s first king. What happens next is just as significant—God gives Saul specific signs along the road home, confirming his calling and revealing what kind of leader he could become.
