Being wronged cuts deeply—especially when the hurt comes from someone you trusted or stood alongside in faith. This devotional speaks honestly to that pain, sharing the emotional weight of betrayal, disappointment, and offense that can surface when others turn away from truth or cause harm through their actions. In moments like these, it’s tempting to respond with exposure, retaliation, or harsh words, believing that justice requires us to fight back. But Scripture calls us to a different response—one that doesn’t ignore truth, yet refuses to be ruled by bitterness. Walking by the Spirit means actively resisting the urges of the flesh, even when our emotions feel justified. God doesn’t leave us guessing about how to respond; His Word provides clarity and direction when feelings are intense and wounds are fresh. Love, grace, and mercy are not passive responses—they are intentional, disciplined choices that reflect Christ. The devotional highlights a powerful truth from 1 Peter: love covers a multitude of sins. This doesn’t mean overlooking error or avoiding necessary correction. It means that once truth has been spoken, we entrust the outcome to God. Sometimes loving someone well looks like stepping back, guarding your heart, and choosing not to rehearse offense or collect evidence to “win” a battle that God never asked you to fight. Forgiveness and grace are not signs of weakness—they are evidence of spiritual maturity. When we release others into God’s hands, we free our hearts from bitterness and make room for peace. This prayer invites us to remember that every person is made in God’s image and that the same mercy we’ve received is meant to flow outward—even toward those who have hurt us the most. Main Takeaways Being wronged can stir strong emotions, but Scripture helps guide our response. Walking by the Spirit means resisting retaliation and choosing love over bitterness. Love does not ignore truth, but it releases the need for personal vindication. God’s Word provides clarity when emotions feel overwhelming. Extending grace protects your heart and reflects Christ’s character. Today’s Bible Verse “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” - 1 Peter 4:8, ESV Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me extend grace to those who have wronged me… Help me release that situation to You, Lord.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter invites us into the powerful stories of Exodus chapters 9–11 and Luke 24. As we journey through moments of great trial in Egypt—the devastating plagues and Pharaoh's hardened heart—we're reminded of God's persistent call to freedom and faith. Then we shift to a scene of heartbreak and surprise: the risen Jesus walks alongside two disciples on the road to Emmaus, opening their eyes to hope once again. Throughout the episode, Hunter encourages us to be attentive to how Jesus meets us in our own moments of disappointment and confusion, just as he did with the disciples so long ago. With thoughtful reflection, heartfelt prayers, and an invitation to see the world through love, we're guided to find God's presence—and transforming joy—even in unexpected places. Whether you're new to this community or a longtime listener, there's a warm welcome here to walk together in faith, prayer, and hope. Let's open our hearts to God's word and remember: you are loved, no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus meets these two men on the way to a little town outside of Jerusalem. It's a seven-mile walk and the town is called Emmaus. Their hearts are dejected, their hopes and aspirations dashed. They're broken. Having followed Jesus through his ministry, they had hoped that he was the Messiah. They had seen many of his miraculous signs and they were overcome by his amazing teaching and thought, "This could be it. This might be the man." Yet three days prior, they had seen that man that they had pinned all their hopes on crucified. Now the story that they hoped for had come to an end. So they thought. But it's here, at this moment, when their hearts are at their darkest and their hopes are most broken, that Jesus shows up. He's veiled to them, but eventually he's going to unveil Himself and show them who He really is. At this point, veiled Jesus reminds them of some things they should have known, things they should have seen. Luke writes that Jesus says to them, "You foolish people, you find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. Wasn't it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before he entered his glory?" And then, this stranger on the road begins to take them through the writings of Moses and the prophets, and he explains from the Scriptures what they should have been able to see. There are things that we should be able to see that Jesus can reveal to us. Luke says he took them through the Scriptures concerning himself. He explains who the Messiah is. He is offering them a way—a way of seeing, seeing things that they should have been able to see, things about God, things about themselves, things about love. He is showing them that He is the way that we begin to regain our sight: to see what is true about ourselves, about God, about the world, about what is true. We are on a journey. These two are on a journey to Emmaus, and they're trying to talk their way clear on this profound disappointment in their life. They're disappointed with what they believe to be true. They're disappointed that God didn't somehow change the circumstances, that Jesus didn't meet their expectations. They're disappointed with the world and the way it is. They're disappointed with themselves. No doubt they had hope for something and they thought that that hope had let them down. Maybe you are on your own journey to Emmaus, or maybe you know what that's like. Maybe you are disappointed—disappointed that God didn't come through the way you thought he would, that things haven't worked out. Maybe you're disappointed with yourself. Maybe you had hopes that didn't pan out. Maybe today we can pay close attention and see the way that Jesus is inviting us to see. Maybe today we can pay close attention to the presence of God with us. He might be unrecognizable at first, but maybe we can pay special attention and listen to Him. If we do, He will often open up the Scriptures to help us to see things that we should have seen all along. Maybe He will reveal Himself in the breaking of bread, and you'll see that He has been with you through it all—even the disappointments, the hopes unrealized. Maybe if we keep listening and walking, we'll discover His way of seeing: seeing the world, seeing ourselves, seeing our neighbors, seeing all things through love. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Send us a textGUEST: Guest: Jan Markell, founder and president, Olive Tree MinistriesIn some of his final words, the apostle Paul wrote to the younger pastor Timothy saying, “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come” (2 Timothy 3:1).Paul then described what men will be like in these perilous times: “For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” (2 Timothy 3:2-5).The “last days” in Scripture is the period of time between the first coming and second coming of Christ. But reading the book of Revelation, the ungodliness intensifies in the last of the last days.While there is certainly room to descend further, what we are seeing today, for example in Minneapolis with protestors taking to the streets day after day to scream obscenities at officers and block them from arresting criminals and illegal immigrants, and then entering and disrupting Cities Church in St. Paul this past Sunday, claiming to be like Christ cleansing the temple, as they yelled and shamed churchgoers for “doing nothing to help their immigrant neighbors” could aptly be described as “perilous times.” All this lawlessness has the support or sympathy of state leaders.But it's not just in my home state of Minnesota. There is massive deception and delusion across the country and world rebelling against God and His ways and ranting against Israel, even within the church.Our guest this weekend, Jan Markell, has watched it all over her lifetime. The daughter of an orthodox Jewish father, Jan was changed forever when she heard and believed the gospel as a young girl. She would go on to found Olive Tree Ministries, a ministry that for decades has exhorted the church, through her radio program heard across the country and world called Understanding the Times, conferences, and written and video resources, to be faithful and discerning and to look for to the return of Christ and God fulfilling His promises to Israel.
Romans 10:9-10 — In this sermon on Romans 10:9–10 titled “Saving Faith,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones gives a roadmap through the Christian life as they experience God. Encountering God means that salvation is not only an intellectual decision or that God can be made known through reasonable thinking. Scripture demands that the Christian have faith in God and a faith that includes all of their being. But how can one possess such faith when they are full of fear and doubt? It is hard enough for a person to keep small commitments to themselves. Dr. Lloyd-Jones shows that it is precisely through encountering God that the Christian is given this faith by Him. God initiates this relationship that leads to Godly sorrow over sin, turning from them and putting faith in Jesus Christ. These are the very beginning steps in the Christian life and without them, one cannot be called a Christian. If one has been convicted of their sins, repented, changed their thoughts about God, and grieved over their sinfulness, they have shown the true marks of one who has encountered God and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260124dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 Look, the Lamb of God! When John the Baptist saw Jesus, he could have pointed to the fact that this man approaching was the almighty God, the second person of the Trinity, “through whom all things were created!” Instead, he called him “the Lamb of God.” In most cases, a lamb is nothing to get excited about. A lamb doesn’t stand a chance against a lion or bear. A lamb cannot carry anyone on its back like a noble steed. However, John knew this Lamb had a higher calling, an eternal calling, a calling that would serve all people of all time, for all people have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. John knew that Jesus came to sacrifice himself as a sin offering for all people’s sins—that includes yours and mine. By doing so, the Lamb would forever destroy the power of the devil. Unlike the Passover lambs, which were sacrificed year after year, Jesus would offer himself once for all! This Lamb is our Savior, and this is something to get excited about! His victory, which is ours through faith, will never become old, outdated, or surpassed by any other. As you look to Jesus today, hail him, sing his praises, and point him out to others as the one who has taken away all our sins. Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for winning the victory over the devil for me and taking away all my sins. Help me each day to rejoice in the gift of salvation you have given to me. Strengthen my faith so that I may live for you and point others to you, for you are the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

When Christianity burst onto the scene, the early Romans were amazed and astounded in two particulars: that Christians were radically generous, giving away large portions of income, and that Christians were radically pure, believing in no sex outside of marriage. This unique understanding transformed the Roman world. At that time, there were two major philosophies about sex. The first was the platonic view: that the soul is good, the body is bad, and sex is kind of dirty. The second was the mystery religions' view: that sex is an appetite that is unhealthy to repress. The prudes and the pagans. And in 1 Corinthians, Paul vividly and incisively shows that Christians are neither. Instead, Christians have the most glorious and lofty possible understanding of sex that there is. Let's look at what this passage shows us about 1) how God says sex is supposed to function in a life, and 2) in looking at how to order our lives in accord to that, we see two things: 3) the only real cure for loneliness is the thing that sex points to, and 4) when you misuse sex, it works backwards. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 10, 1989. Series: Ten Commandments 1989. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:15-7:5.

While faith is deeply personal, it is not an isolated act. Today, Fr. Mike reflects on the reality that our faith is communal. It is lived out and passed down in the context of community. We also learn that faith is truly the beginning of eternal life. Despite the sufferings of this world, when we walk by faith, we experience a taste of heaven here and now.

Southside Tribe! This week we discuss how rejection and hardship are some of life's great teachers—but only if we learn from them instead of avoiding them. In this episode, we explore how rejection shapes us for better or worse, how wounded ego can turn into vengeance, and why so much of modern masculinity is built on perception and intimidation rather than wholeness or healing. From dating culture and influencer wealth to Scripture's warning about the uncertainty of riches, this conversation challenges where we place our hope. Ultimately, it's a call to trade image for integrity, give up shortcuts for real formation, and false security for the lasting riches found in humility, discipleship, and trusting Christ.

(1 Chronicles 29:11) Memory is a gift of God. It must be exercised to remember the right things. Chronicles was written to help God's people remember Him and His unchanging promises. Written after the Babylonian exile, Chronicles offers hope: the throne and temple may be gone, but God's covenant promise endures. The books contrast with 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 &2 Kings by focusing on the divine perspective. (10020260123) Join our study through Scripture this year.

Patrick opens the show by unpacking questions about corporal mortification, guilt, and penance, offering clear spiritual direction grounded in Scripture and tradition. He fields calls that spiral into questions of existence, the nature of life as a gift, scandal in the Church, the reality of temptation, and the anxious math of salvation, always returning to the mercy and providence of God. Honest, layered exchanges ripple through every segment as Patrick tackles faith’s thorniest dilemmas with warmth, candor, and sharp theological insight. Ryan (email) - Is physical self-chastisement (corporal mortification) as a form of penance still acceptable if kept private and moderate? (01:39) Sandra - God gives us life but knows if we will choose him or not. Why would he allow us to be born if we choose damnation? Is it a gift to be born? (12:50) Justin – Trump is too aggressive with ICE and immigration. Also, why would God lead us into temptation? (20:42) Marco - Do laicized priests have a path to reconciliation so that they can become priests again? (28:39) Todd - I think this gentleman doesn’t know if the priest has repented of his sins or not. How can we know? We all sin. I think we shouldn’t say we feel scandalized. (38:58) Mark - When we look at sports, the winner is the one that scores the most points. It seems more people will be in Hell than Heaven. This is problematic for me. Can you help me? (41:54)
Suffering exposes what we believe about God faster than success ever could. When affliction lingers, disappointment goes unresolved, and growth feels slower than we want, the question isn't whether God is present—it's whether our theology can carry the weight of real life. Too many believers inherit a framework that collapses under pressure, leaving them confused, bitter, or quietly disillusioned. This week on Win Today, Dr. Craig Keener joins me to rebuild a theology of suffering that can endure. We talk about why God is not in a hurry to mature us, how pressure actually forms spiritual resilience, and what it looks like to develop a mindset about affliction that produces endurance rather than erosion. This conversation doesn't minimize pain—it gives it meaning. If you're suffering, stalled, or carrying disappointment you haven't known how to name, this episode will help you reframe affliction as formation and discover the kind of maturity that only pressure can produce. Guest Bio Dr. Craig Keener is a leading New Testament scholar, historian, and theologian whose work has shaped global conversations on Scripture, the Holy Spirit, miracles, and suffering. He has authored dozens of academic and popular-level books and has taught and lectured internationally, bringing rigorous scholarship together with pastoral sensitivity and lived faith.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, Hunter invites us to settle into God's Word as we journey through Exodus 6-8 and Luke 23. This reading takes us from the miraculous signs and growing tension between Moses and Pharaoh, all the way to the profound day of rest that follows Jesus' crucifixion. As Hunter reflects, even in moments of chaos and suffering—like the horrors that unfolded on Good Friday—God draws us into a deeper rest, completed through Christ's work on the cross. We're reminded that, no matter how busy or distracted life might get, God offers us peace, forgiveness, and the invitation to simply receive His rest. Join Hunter as he prays over you, shares encouragement, and reminds us all that the work has been finished and that, in Christ, we are truly loved. Whether you're tuning in for the first time or coming back for daily nourishment, this episode is an invitation to draw near and be transformed by the presence of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: All hell was breaking loose. And Luke tells us that the people rested. The horrors of this day, the day of Christ's suffering, are culminating in a moment of rest. The women from Galilee who had witnessed Jesus' body being taken down from the cross went home on that horrific day thinking they still had work to do. We're told in verse 56 that they went home and prepared spices and ointments to anoint his body. But by the time they were finished, the Sabbath had begun. So they rested from their work. Even after all of these horrors, they thought that there was still work to be done. What they did not know was that Jesus, on this Good Friday, had completed all the work necessary. So now theirs was to rest. Now the Sabbath had really come. Jesus finished the work so that the girls could rest. He finished the work so that you and I could find rest. On that Friday, Jesus went to work for bystanders and mocking soldiers. He went to work for reluctant Pilate and indulged Herod. He went to work for guilty Barabbas and Simon the Cyrene. Jesus went to work for sign makers, cross builders, common criminals, gamblers, good and righteous men like Joseph of Arimathea, and heartbroken women who are forced to watch at a distance. Jesus was finishing his work on that Friday so that we all could find rest. Jesus was giving his everything. He was working hard. He did for us what we could not do for ourselves. He has done the work—the work of redeeming, rescuing, forgiving the sins of the world. He forgave us because we did not know what we were doing. That's why he came to us. Because we don't know. We're trapped and blinded, unable to save ourselves. We don't know what we're doing. Jesus said so himself on the cross, "Father, forgive them. They don't know what they are doing." Athanasius says, what then was God to do when he saw humanity spiraling into non-being? What was God to do because they didn't know? He would send his Son. Our Lord Jesus would come to rescue us so that at last our eyes would be opened and we would be awakened to life and rest in him. That rest belongs to you. It belongs to all of humanity. He made it free out of the abundance of his heart of love. He did that work. There's nothing left for me to do other than to step in, to say yes, to receive freely the rest that there is in him. And that's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Scripture commands ministers to accurately handle God's Word, not just give emotional messages to make people feel good.
Are you respected at work—but ignored at home? Do the people who know you best actually respect you? In this weeks message, Jim Ramos unpacks what Scripture says about being a respected man—not a compartmentalized one. Drawing from Job 29 and real-life experience, he challenges men to stop "waffling" between roles and start living as integrated, whole men whose lives are worth imitating. You'll see why respect must be earned, not demanded and how one practical step can identify where you're "waffling" and grow stronger.

In this episode, Bob and Linda unpack spiritual habits found in Scripture that quietly shape financial outcomes—habits that have nothing to do with spreadsheets or hustle culture, but everything to do with becoming the kind of person money can be trusted with. These aren't the usual "Christian money tips." They're deeper. And once you see them, you can't unsee them.
