About this episode

The episode explores how the Book of Numbers reveals Jesus and highlights themes of human failure and divine faithfulness.

In this episode of Renown , the team from Christ Community Fellowship continues their journey of “finding Jesus in every book of the Bible” by diving into the book of Numbers . Tobin, Josh, Matt, and guest Pastor Frank Gleason unpack key stories like Balaam and his talking donkey, the bronze serpent, and Israel’s wilderness wanderings, showing how each points forward to Christ and exposes our own tendency to complain, fear, and chase idols. Along the way, they highlight God’s holiness, patience, and mercy, contrasting human failure with the faithfulness of Jesus as the true and better Savior. The conversation also features a practical call to prayer and evangelism through the 1 Million Souls in 50 Days initiative and tools like Bless Every Home, inviting listeners to join a focused, relational movement of prayer for their neighbors and communities.
