Summary
What does a bronze serpent on a stick have to do with Holy Week and Jesus? Sometimes in Christianity, we need symbols or symbolism to help us remember things in our faith. Emma Dotter is joined by Amie Bradley and asking the question to God: I know you have promised you’ll provide and be faithful, but why are my circumstances not reflective of your promises? Amie challenges us on the day in-between Good Friday & Easter to get our eyes up on Jesus.
Additional Scripture in our passage:
Psalm 121:1-8

| 0:16.7 | Thanks for joining today. We are reading Numbers 21 and and John 3, 14 through 21. And I am here in the podcast studio with faithful Watermark staff member, Amy Bradley. |
| 0:29.3 | Hey, everyone. Really happy to be here today. Amy, so glad to have you here. I feel like this has been a long time coming. |

But I'd love it if you started off just sharing a little bit about how you personally |
| 1:11.4 | connect with these scriptures. These scriptures are some of the most interesting ones in scripture. |
| 1:17.2 | I mean, what does a bronze serpent on a pole have to do with Jesus? Yeah, right? It's a great question, |
| 1:25.4 | and it's a real thoughtful conversation. And I think, number one, |
| 1:30.1 | for me, it made a huge difference in my own faith journey, just thinking about how God weaves the |
| 1:38.0 | story of our Savior into all of Scripture. And it almost is a mystery until you start reading and studying |
| 1:46.8 | his word, which is one of the reasons I'm so grateful for join the journey. And the first time I read |

| 1:59.3 | and complaining and Moses using a serpent on a stick as a |
