I opened the show with Balaam, the original for-profit prophet. He was not the last one. We still have plenty today with nice suits, studio lighting, and partner plans "…if you act now!" Balaam took the job, hopped on his donkey, and headed out. God blocked the road. The donkey saw it. Balaam did not. After a few detours and a smashed foot, the donkey finally spoke. And instead of freezing or questioning reality, Balaam argued with her as if this was completely normal. That part always gets me. Did animals talk a lot back then? I live around horses and cattle here in Montana. If one of them said, "Peter, we need to talk," I would like to think I would pause and reconsider a few things. Balaam did not. He snapped right back at the donkey and missed the angel standing in the road. And thinking about it, as a caregiver, do I often do the same thing? I get locked in on what I am trying to do … and miss the very thing God may be using to protect me. Sometimes the obstacle is not the problem. It is the rescue. In the next segment, a listener asked about spiritual attack. I kept it simple. Satan had to ask permission for Job. He had to ask for Peter. He has to ask for us. The enemy does not get an open gate to God's people. I rest more in that truth than in anything I feel on a hard day. Then the show moved from talking donkeys to unpacking boxes. Gracie and I are sorting through years of stored belongings. She remembers exactly where every decorative plate hung in our old kitchen. I sometimes need a leaf blower to find my desk. The process has reminded me how much I hold on to, not only physical things, but guilt, fear, and expectations that weigh more than any box in the house. That led naturally to the hymn for the week, "Take My Life and Let It Be," which Frances Havergal wrote as a kind of spiritual clean-out, offering each part of herself back to God. If the episode has a theme, it is simple. Pay attention. When something in your life suddenly speaks, pause before arguing with it. God may be standing in the road for your good, even if the warning arrives through a stubborn creature with very long ears. Caregiving gets heavier during the holidays. Let 40 years of experience walk with you. Books By Peter Rosenberger. Books from Peter Rosenberger               I opened the show with Balaam, the original for-profit prophet.

Numbers 22-24. There are not many Bible stories that have an animal as a key character. In the story of Balaam, the Bible tells us he knew the word of God. Balaam learns that God's will always wins. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines how Balaam constantly rebels against God's will to his own detriment.

In this episode of 'Two Blows from Blighy', hosts Joey and Tim discuss their personal updates, including busy work schedules and health issues. They delve into recent positive political developments in the US, touching on gerrymandering and election outcomes. The conversation shifts to media reviews, particularly a critique of the show 'Son of a Donkey' and a discussion about the film 'The Long Walk', which explores dystopian themes and human relationships. The episode concludes with a humorous segment titled 'Am I the Karen?', where they analyze social dilemmas and personal anecdotes. In this episode, the hosts delve into various scenarios that challenge the boundaries of customer service and personal expectations. They discuss a hospital visit that turned frustrating due to long wait times, a cake order gone wrong, the complexities of emotional attachments to AI companions, and the ethics of writing reviews for services received. Each scenario raises questions about entitlement, patience, and the nature of customer service interactions, leading to a broader discussion on what it means to be a 'Karen' in today's society.

God's people are on the move and the nations around them are getting extremely nervous.  They band together and call on a Prophet for Profit—Balaam.  Balaam knows God and knows he should obey God.  But, like us, sometimes it's hard for Balaam to obey God when there is so much money on the line. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

In this episode of the Pop That Mumma Podcast, I sit down with Dr Melanie Jackson, a brilliant midwife and maternal health advocate, to chat about vaginal examinations (VEs) during labour. We discuss what they're for, how they relate to cervical dilation and birth progress, and why they're such a common yet often misunderstood part of maternity care.Dr Jackson shares her insight into the risks, benefits, and alternatives to routine VEs, and we talk about informed consent and why you always have the right to say no. We also explore how the body naturally progresses in labour, what evidence-based care really looks like, and how expectations around cervical dilation can sometimes do more harm than good.If you're pregnant and planning for birth, this episode will help you feel more confident and informed!To find out more about Dr Melanie and her work, follow her on social media here.

. Can you teach your donkey to read? 

Luke and Andrew realize (with the help of a listener) that they were missing a pretty big piece of information about a Luke Wilson commercial they talked about at length yesterday. Plus, Andrew has some questions about a plethora of radio ads he's been hearing that feature a former reality TV host. They also discuss the two oldest McDonald's burgers in existence.

Dr. John Avanzini shares a faith-stirring word that every promise of God in Christ is “yes and amen”. When God calls, He also provides. Even when the promise feels out of reach, your “donkey”—God's provision—will be there right when you need it.Bro John reminds us that faith should not be limited by circumstances or defined by need or debt. Instead, we are to speak God's Word over every situation. As we walk in biblical generosity, God meets our needs, fulfills our desires, and proves that when we step out in faith, our donkey—His provision—will always be waiting.

It just wasn't worth it trying to retrieve the donkey.

The story of Balaam and his talking donkey is filled with irony and wisdom. Listen today to see how this weird story offers powerful truths that bring encouragement and deepen our relationship with God.

Send us a textJesus redefines “neighbor” to include everyone—especially those we'd rather ignore. Loving across boundaries is inconvenient and uncomfortable, but it's the heart of the gospel. This week we see how stepping toward others with compassion makes God's love visible.

Lost donkeys led to Israel's first king. Sometimes God's biggest plans start with life's smallest interruptions. What ordinary circumstance might God be using to set up your next divine appointment? It's not how you start that matters - it's how you finish.

In Part 1 of this special episode, Paul is joined by African football expert Ali Howorth live from the Cape Verdean capital of Praia to talk about the country's historic World Cup qualification. What force of nature helped the islanders get the job done against Eswatini? What were the highlights of the after-party? What role has the Dutch city of Rotterdam played in Cape Verde's success? And why might the Blue Sharks have more fans than expected at the World Cup? In Part 2, Lee and Paul hear from Cape Verde central defender Roberto Lopes, who explains the story of his international recruitment via LinkedIn, and discuss everything from diaspora to donkeys. Why are there as many Cape Verdeans living overseas as on the islands themselves? Which geographical and demographical records have they broken by qualifying? And how has the Portuguese colonial rule shaped the domestic game today?

LUKE 19:28-40

Dave Brisbin 10.19.25 As we look farther into the observable universe, dig deeper into subatomic particles, science is coming full circle back to what contemplatives and mystics have always known. One aspect of quantum physics is especially revealing. Called superposition, it's the mathematical concept that subatomic particles exist in a kind of cloud of probability—a continuous wave—where all states and properties are possible at the same time. But the moment an observer interacts with them, superposition collapses into a single state—a particle. This mind-bending phenomenon mirrors the ancient Hebrew view of human life lived out between heaven and earth, between God's realm of wavelike unity, of infinite potential and possibility, and earth, the place of individual form and function—particles. Our purpose is to bring heaven to earth and earth to heaven, to merge the oneness and infinite possibility of heaven with the diversity and finitude of daily life, without losing the essence of either. The whole point of spiritual formation is to cultivate moments of superposition, re-experience the oneness of infinite possibility we lost growing up and bring that reality into every aspect of daily life. But our consciousness is superposition resistant. We won't hold onto paradox, craving straight lines and answers, resolution. Donkey falls into a farmer's dry well, and when he can't get it out, decides to just fill in the well. First shovelfuls rain down. The donkey is frantic, braying hysterically, then goes silent. Farmer looks down. As each shovelful hits its back, the donkey shakes it off and steps up until he eventually steps up and out of the well. On earth, with our straight lines and particles, we fear the curved, indirect movement of spirit in superposition. But enlightenment is not a direct lifeline pulling us up into the light; it's an indirect layering that feels like death at first, scares us until we see the way of it. Quantum physics and Jesus' parables teach the same message. That some things can't be known with straight thought lines. Only by living them out, interacting, do they collapse and merge into meaning.

Even the most disciplined podcasters in the world are susceptible to the occasional whoopsie.

Nikki and Chris dive into their transformative experience at Emily Schromm's The Challenge Retreat Season 2, a wellness adventure in California's stunning Teravana ranch, where they tackle grueling physical challenges and unexpected emotional breakthroughs. Despite personal grief and burnout, they push through steep hill races and puzzles, discovering resilience they didn't know they had. Nikki's horse therapy session sparks a vision for future retreats, with possible Donkey's, while Chris confronts childhood money fears through new investment strategies. Their raw reflections on boundaries, from rehoming pets to navigating relationships, inspire us to embrace discomfort for growth. Curious about Chris's fourth-place finish?
