[00:30] Celtic Throne in Israel (27 minutes) As world events heat up, Celtic Throne is bringing a message of hope and peace. This year, the group is touring Israel, a nation desperately in need of hope after nearly two years of war. After two shows in Tel Aviv, the reaction has been phenomenal. The Jerusalem Post wrote that “this show was two hours of sheer musical and dance energy that made you feel good, happy and very much alive. In these war-torn days, that alone is worth the price of admission.” [28:00] Fomenting Insurrection (18 minutes) The anti-ICE riots are spreading across the United States. Leaders at the state and city levels have shown they have no will to stand up to violence, opting to give the rioters “space to destroy.” Why are so many against upholding law and order?

This week we continue with Mark Chapter 5. To this point, Jesus has been traveling around the region of Galilee performing miracles, casting out demons, upsetting the status quo and teaching about the kingdom of God. Last week we unpacked a series of parables that Jesus taught and talked about why he spoke in parables and how we can interpret them. We left off with Jesus calming the storm and revealing himself to be the One who commands even the weather. This week, we read a couple of well-known stories of Jesus sending demons into a herd of pigs and healing a bleeding woman and dying girl.

In many nations, Christian women face extreme persecution, and often their situations are too shameful to publicly acknowledge. The social stigma attached to these acts of violence frequently becomes a barrier when attempting to effectively prosecute the perpetrators of such attacks. Beyond the broader gender-based persecution affecting marginalized communities, Christian women and girls endure targeted sexual violence, trafficking, and even threats against their lives, as forms of punishment for their faith. Despite these attempts to silence Christian voices through terror, there is hope for our persecuted sisters in Christ. Greg Musselman, host of the Closer to the Fire podcast, speaks with “Kate” (whose real name is being withheld for security reasons) about why believers in the West have a critical role in addressing the suffering of our Christian sisters, and what we can do to help bring them hope and healing. Kate is a trusted ministry partner of VOMC who serves as an advisor for Gender and Religious Freedom, a global ministry network that facilitates training, advocacy and research on gender-specific persecution. During the interview, Greg and Kate will also explore what the Bible says about the mistreatment of women, as well as the ways in which God's Word affirms their inherent value and dignity.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one in every 100 people in Gaza have a life-changing injury because of the conflict.

Psalm 82:3 says, “Give justice to the poor and the orphan, uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.”This powerful verse reminds us of our responsibility to care for those in need. Today, we turn our attention to a ministry doing just that—India Partners, which is providing hope and rescue to the oppressed in India.David Harms has devoted nearly a decade of ministry to the work of India Partners, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. With over 35 years of experience in rescuing victims of human trafficking, India Partners continues to make a profound impact on the lives of the most vulnerable.The Horrific Reality in IndiaIndia is a nation of contrasts—technologically advanced in many respects, yet home to nearly 300 million people living in extreme poverty. Among the most vulnerable are young girls, some as young as eight, who are trafficked into red-light districts and subjected to unimaginable horrors. These girls endure horrific conditions, facing abuse daily in slums filled with filth and open sewage. The purpose of this abuse is to break their spirits, forcing them to believe they have no escape and no hope of a future.India Partners, a ministry that has been rescuing victims of human trafficking for over 40 years, works tirelessly to save these young girls from this life of exploitation. Through their rescue efforts, they take these girls from the red-light districts to safe houses where they receive love, care, and, most importantly, the hope of Jesus.Safe Houses: A Place for HealingIndia Partners' safe houses offer full care, including room and board, private Christian education, medical attention, and trauma counseling. Each girl receives individual and group therapy to address the deep wounds inflicted upon them. Over time, these girls are not only physically rescued but spiritually healed, learning their true identity in Christ as beloved daughters of God.How You Can HelpAs stewards of God's resources, we have a role to play in alleviating this suffering.

The church should be a place of hope and healing for broken sinners.

Host Hunter reflects on the importance of not worshiping the Bible itself but using it as a tool to guide us to worship God, who is the true source of salvation. Through the words of Paul, we discover how the scriptures teach us, give us hope, and lead us to live in harmony with one another as followers of Christ. Join us as we reflect on the transformative impact of the Bible in our lives and the importance of seeking God's patience, hope, and courage in our daily journey. 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, they 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.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL We are reading through the New Living Translation from Tyndale Publishers

Imagine you are a woman fleeing domestic violence or homelessness only to find refuge in a long-term women's shelter that is cold, institutional, and filled with prison beds, duct-taped walls, and urine-stained mattresses with no privacy.

Terry Grahl, the founder and CEO of Enchanted Makeovers is working to change this. Her volunteer-driven nonprofit refurbishes long-term shelters by making them a place where women and children can thrive in a place that feels like home. Pat Rullo, author and founder of Speak Up Talk Radio contributes handmade pillowcases and portions of her book and podcast competitions to help fund and promote Terry's efforts.

There is a revival with hundreds of church planter school graduates every 6 months in both countries. Pastor Singh tells of God's grace and the Holy Spirit‘s work in the heart of one of the men. David explains the importance of fellowship and encouragement among the Christian leaders.

“The system is so broken” is a common phrase when we talk about foster care - and it is. But does that mean that we don't engage? Is it even possible to bring hope to dark places like this, or is it too far gone? While there's no doubt that the child welfare system is overwhelmed and struggling nationwide, we truly believe that hope is not lost. We believe that as we follow Christ's example of stepping toward the broken and being in close proximity to the lost, our proper response is to engage, to serve, and to move close.Join us today as we share the heart behind our podcast and dive deeper into the mission of Hope Bridge.Welcome to ReStoried!Episode Highlights: Introduction to Hope Bridge and our mission.Diving into the different programs that make up Hope Bridge.The power of community in foster care.How Hope Bridge came to start a podcast.God is still writing our story, and He knows the bigger picture.Coming alongside the vulnerable.Find More on Hope Bridge:Visit Our Website Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook Foster Our Community Instagram This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.
