The Book of Numbers Bedtime Story | Catholic Bible For Sleep

This is the Book of Numbers. And no, it's not called that because it's boring. Though honestly? Parts of it kind of are, and that's the point. Because life in the wilderness, real wilderness, the kind that strips you down to your bones and makes you face who you actually are versus who you thought you were, that life is ninety percent waiting and ten percent absolute terror. So before we dive in, and I mean really dive in, spend the next three hours with the Israelites as they learn the hardest lesson any human can learn, which is that God's promises are true even when everything looks impossible, take a second to like this video. Subscribe if you want more stories that don't sanitize Scripture, that don't make the Bible into a children's cartoon. And seriously, drop a comment telling me where you're watching from and what time it is. I'm genuinely curious who's crazy enough to spend three hours in the desert with me tonight.
