In today's episode, host Hunter invites us to join him on July 12th—day 194 of our journey through the Scriptures. We explore powerful passages from Isaiah chapters 11 and 14, and journey into Hebrews chapter 9. Together, we'll uncover prophetic visions of hope, justice, and the coming reign of God's peace, as well as deep insights into Christ's sacrifice and what it means for our access to God's kingdom life today. Hunter reflects on these ancient texts, drawing connections to our daily lives and leading us in heartfelt prayers for peace, unity, and trust in God's love. Whether you're a longtime listener or new to the community, join us as we gather to “warm our hearts by the fire of God's love” and be reminded—you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There is a second room, and in it are symbols of a second chance. That's what the writer of Hebrews is telling us. There is the holy place, the first room. But then he talks about the second room. In that room is a box containing symbols. In that box there is manna, the symbol of God's provision, care and love. There is also a staff in the box. It represents God's judgment, His wisdom and his rule. And there are tablets. These speak of his law and his righteousness. These are artifacts and tokens of God's kingdom. The symbols of the kingdom are all covered up in a box. And the cover of the box is called the atonement seat. It seems as if the vestiges of this greatly desired kingdom are shut up, locked up in this box, out of reach. Access to these sparse tokens was granted only once a year, and only to one person. When that person entered this second room, he offered a sacrifice of blood on the atonement seat where these symbols of the kingdom reside. It's almost as if he were trying to open the box and that kingdom life by the shedding of the blood. He would enter that room year after year, hoping to unlock, as it were, the gifts of kingdom life. But the key to the lock on this box could not be opened by the shedding of the blood of calves and goats. Releasing the power of these kingdom symbols requires a far greater sacrifice than the blood of goats and bulls. There's only one person that can open up these treasures. God has sent his own high priest into the second room. He has offered his own blood on the seat of atonement. And with the sacrifice of His Son, we are given full access into kingdom life. Now we can know and experience his love. We can know his judgments and wisdom in our life. We can live righteously before him, because now His Spirit resides in us and his laws are written on our hearts. Our champion, Christ, has gone into the second room and offered his blood on the atonement seat for the whole world. The treasures of that box have been opened up for all. We no longer need to send our man in once a year to look at a box with scraps and tokens of a kingdom long ago, filled with failed dreams and distant hopes. No, these symbols point us to what Christ has done for the world once for all time. He has won the treasures of kingdom life for all, here and now. So let's not live on scraps and tokens and remnants of some distant hope. He went into that second room for us and he has opened up the treasures of life, life in his kingdom today. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see what he has done, that I will rest in his completed work, and that I will know his joy. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds, quiet our striving hearts and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today, not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O God of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathed life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power, renew the face of the earth and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, Lord, let me be a bearer of your peace. Where voices divide, let me speak grace; where fear takes root, let me plant trust; where the world rushes on, let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb, but to kneel, not to win, but to love, not to grasp, but to give. For it is in emptying that we are filled, in surrender, that we are strengthened and in union with you, that we find our truest joy. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we gather each day to journey through the Scriptures and seek the heart of God. In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through Isaiah chapters 8–10, and Hebrews chapter 8, drawing our attention to God's enduring presence, faithfulness, and the promise of a new covenant. We reflect on moments of warning, prophecy, and hope—witnessing both judgment and the dawn of redemption through the coming of a great light. As we move from the ancient struggles of Israel to the beautiful declaration in Hebrews that we have a High Priest in Jesus, Hunter encourages us to see Christ as the true and ultimate point of it all: the One who writes God's laws upon our hearts and invites us into the joy and freedom of life with Him. Join us for scripture, prayer, and a reminder that you are, without a doubt, deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is the main point. When we look back over the pages of Scripture and consider the prophets, the priests, the kings, all the people and stories—the point to which all of this leads is Jesus. The book of Hebrews, reflecting on all that has come before, tells us plainly: we have a High Priest who is seated in the place of honor at the right hand of the Father. And what's more, this High Priest is not just one who offers sacrifices out of obligation, like those before Him, but one who Himself is the offering—the One who mediates a new covenant, a better covenant, grounded in better promises. What sets Jesus apart is not just what He's done, but what He continues to do. He is our advocate before the Father. The old ways—the law, the sacrifices, the external signs—pointed toward something greater. And now, through Him, God has written His laws not on tablets of stone, but on our very minds and hearts. We are invited not into a distant, law-based relationship, but into participation with Christ Himself—sharing in His kingdom and in His life. Jesus does more than deliver us from guilt and shame; He unshackles us from the power of death and darkness. He gives us, not a set of external rules, but Himself. All the heroes and prophets of Scripture, all the signs and shadows, are fulfilled in Him. The main point, then, is not a doctrine or even a set of principles, but a Person. Jesus. And in His light, we find true life. That is the prayer I have for my own heart today: that I would live in the reality of Christ—the true center and meaning of my story. It's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and our children, and it's the prayer I have for you. Let us walk this day in the light of Jesus, our High Priest, our Advocate, the One who is the main point of it all. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter takes us through the readings from Micah chapters 5 through 7 and Hebrews chapter 7, reflecting on profound questions about justice, mercy, and the true cost of forgiveness. Together, we explore what God truly requires of us—not endless sacrifices or offerings, but to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. Hunter delves into the challenges we all face in living out these commands and points us to the ultimate answer found in Jesus, our high priest who has perfectly fulfilled what we could not. Join us for a time of scripture, thoughtful reflection, and prayer, as we seek to understand more deeply the heart of God revealed through Jesus—the One who is enough and invites us to walk with Him today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: How much is enough? How much do we owe for our mistakes, our regrets, the pain we've caused? That's the deep question Micah puts before us in today's reading. We try to measure it: burnt offerings, rivers of oil, some attempt to set things right, to pay enough to cover our sins. But here's Micah's answer—“No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good… to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” That's the call. Not endless sacrifices or rituals, but a life lived rightly, one that loves mercy and walks humbly with God. And yet, as poetic and right as that sounds, we find ourselves falling short. We're invited to a life most of us cannot live in our own strength. Adam didn't. Neither have we. We've all missed the mark, failed to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly. But here is the good news: there is One who has not failed—Jesus, our Savior, the High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. He did what we could not. He lived rightly, loved mercy, and walked humbly with His Father. He paid the price once and for all for the sins of the world—not by repeated offerings, but by offering Himself. So what will cover our past, our shortcomings, the missing sum in our own ledger? The answer is not more striving, not more doing, but Jesus. Because of Him, we're invited to participate in a life with God. No longer do we need to keep trying to pay—He is enough. As we receive Him, we're set free to live out justice, mercy, humility—not as a debt to be paid, but as a life that overflows from Him. That's my prayer today: that I will participate in this with-God life, that I will receive what has already been accomplished and live in it. He has included me in Himself, and He has included you as well. Everything we need to walk with God today is ours in Jesus. Let us learn from Him now. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender, we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, hosted by Hunter. In today's episode, recorded on July 9th, we continue our daily rhythm of drawing near to God's Word and allowing it to shape us. Hunter leads us through powerful passages from Micah 1–4, capturing God's call for justice and hope for restoration, and then moves into Hebrews 6, exploring the encouragement to grow in maturity, hold onto hope, and anchor ourselves in Christ's love. As we breathe, rest, and reflect together, Hunter reminds us of the remedies for spiritual dullness: savoring both the “milk and meat” of Scripture, and putting our faith into action through love for others. Today's reading and reflection challenge us to experience the “with God” life—a life anchored in Christ's hope, lived out through loving action, and grounded in the unchanging promises of God. Join us for prayer, reflection, and encouragement as we journey deeper into God's Word and discover afresh that we are truly loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The remedy for a dull spirit. Yesterday, we were reminded of the importance of our hearing—hearing God's word and savoring it, whether it's the milk or the meat. That kind of deep attentiveness, that savoring and letting God's word do its work in us, is the antidote to spiritual dullness and hearing loss. Today, the scripture takes us further, showing us another remedy: love. Love for God's people, expressed in action, is another way that spiritual indifference and dullness are healed. The writer of Hebrews tells us that God is not unjust; he sees and remembers the work we do for him, especially when it is shown through our love and care for other believers. The encouragement is clear: keep on loving others as long as life lasts. Why? Because this living out of love, this putting the word of God into motion through tangible acts of kindness and care, protects us from spiritual dullness and indifference. It keeps our hope alive, makes it certain, and keeps our spiritual senses sharp. If we let the word of God take root—not just in study, but in the daily business of loving others—we'll discover that our souls are anchored, firm and secure, in Christ. Like the anchor that holds steady through every storm, Jesus—the one who has entered the inner sanctuary ahead of us—holds us fast. This is the with-God life. A life not just of study or knowledge, but one lived in the presence of God, marked by love, hope, and assurance. Our hope is not wishful thinking. It is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It draws us right into the presence of God, where Jesus has already gone before us as our eternal High Priest. There, in God's presence, is where we find our greatest joy and where God receives glory. There, we find that love is not just something we do—it is the air we breathe in the kingdom of God. Hear him today. Let his word, and the love he gives you, anchor your spirit. Step into the freedom, joy, and life that is yours in Christ. Love, savor, repeat—these are the rhythms that keep us close to him. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

On this July 8th episode, join your host Hunter as we mark day 188 in our journey of reading through the entire Bible this year. Whether you're a longtime listener or just joining us, you'll find encouragement in our simple practice: reading the Scriptures together each day, with the hope of being transformed by the God who is love. In today's episode, Hunter leads us through Hosea 13 and 14, Psalms 100 and 102, and Hebrews 5 in the New Living Translation. As we encounter warnings and promises in the story of Israel, heartfelt prayers from the Psalms, and teachings about spiritual maturity in Hebrews, Hunter reflects on spiritual dullness and invites us to savor the Word—moving from “milk” to “meat”—so that our desire for God would grow and shape our character in everyday life. We'll wrap up with guided prayers, encouragement at this halfway point in the year, and the reminder that, wherever you find yourself on your Bible reading journey, you are loved. Stick around for a nourishing time in God's Word, honest reflection, and practical encouragement to keep pressing forward! TODAY'S DEVOTION: How's your hearing? That's the question the writer of Hebrews wants us to consider. Are you dull of hearing? Has your discernment slipped? Maybe you're finding that you keep making the same mistakes over and over again, lacking the wisdom you need in the moment. The problem might not just be with your decisions, but with what you're listening to—or perhaps, not listening to. The writer of Hebrews points to a spiritual dullness, a lack of attentiveness to what really matters. There's so much more God wants to say to us, so much more life to be found in him—but spiritual dullness keeps us from hearing it. Sometimes, we're listening to too many things that crowd out God's voice. Sometimes, we've simply lost our appetite for the things that truly nourish us. But there's good news: God has given us a remedy—a way to restore our spiritual hearing. It's found in coming back, again and again, to the pure spiritual milk of his word, desiring it, savoring it, letting it nourish our souls. Peter tells us to crave that spiritual milk so that we can grow up into our salvation. The problem isn't the milk; it's our desire for it. When desire wanes, when our ears are dulled by the noise of the world, our hearts grow hard and our lives lack discernment. But we can, by God's Spirit, learn to savor his word again. And as we do, our taste matures. Desire for the “milk” of God's word grows into a hunger for the “meat”—the deeper things of God, wisdom for life, discernment and maturity. Maturity in Christ isn't about managing sin better or checking more boxes on a pious to-do list. It's about a deepening desire for God himself—a dynamic relationship of trust, dependence, and joy. As we savor his word each day, Jesus, the living Word, meets us. He feeds us on his grace, his mercy, his love—and we become people who can recognize the difference between right and wrong, who can respond to God in the moment. That's true maturity. That's wisdom. That's life fully alive. So come to the word daily. Cry out for it. Savor it. Let your desire be rekindled and let it grow. This is the prayer I have for my own soul. It's the prayer I have for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation, shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this July 7th episode, Host Hunter invites you to join with listeners from around the world as we spend time reading and reflecting on Scripture together. Today, we journey through Hosea 10–12, Psalm 73, and Hebrews 4—uncovering the consistent theme of God's steadfast love, the call to return to Him, and the promise of true rest found in Christ. Hunter encourages us to lay down our striving and receive the rest that God graciously offers, reminding us that the gospel is not about what we do, but about learning to trust and rest in Him. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers for peace, unity, and dependence on God, followed by the Lord's Prayer and a gentle reminder that you are deeply loved. Settle in and let your heart be refreshed by the Word and the presence of God today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Are you tired? The invitation to rest is one that echoes through the words of Hebrews today. So often, we find ourselves working, striving, caught up in the pressures of life, feeling that everything depends on us, that we have to keep things under control. But Hebrews reminds us that God's promise of entering his rest still stands. This rest—true, deep rest—is nothing less than the very heart of the gospel. The good news is not just about doing or achieving, but about receiving, about surrendering, about letting God's work and love be enough. The writer warns us—not just those who don't believe, but us, followers of Jesus—not to miss out on this rest. It's still possible to slip into old patterns: powering up and forcing our agenda, or turtling up and running from our circumstances. But Christ, our great high priest, was tested in every way. He knows what it's like to stand right where you are, to feel what you feel—yet he didn't sin or strive like we so often do. He invites us, instead, to bring our weariness and thirst directly to him. The gospel means rest. Not inaction, not apathy, but a soul-deep resting in the finished work of Jesus. If we fail to rest, we miss the wonder and power of the gospel working in our lives. We're invited to come boldly to the throne of grace—not timidly, not reluctantly, but boldly—trusting that here, in God's presence, we will find mercy and grace exactly when we need it most. So today, don't harden your heart. Don't believe that your struggles are so unique, or your burdens so heavy, that rest is not for you. Instead, hear his voice. Open your hands, and allow yourself to rest in him. The rest he gives truly revives the weary soul. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds, quiet our striving hearts, and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today— not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O God of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathed life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold, and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power, renew the face of the earth, and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, Lord, let me be a bearer of your peace. Where voices divide, let me speak grace. Where fear takes root, let me plant trust. Where the world rushes on, let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb but to kneel, not to win but to love, not to grasp but to give. For it is in emptying that we are filled, in surrender that we are strengthened, and in union with you that we find our truest joy. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through day 188 of our journey, focusing on Hosea chapters 6 through 9 and Hebrews chapter 3. Together, we explore the deep longing of God for His people to return to Him, His desire for them to know Him rather than just perform rituals, and the painful consequences of turning away from His love. As the readings unfold, we're reminded of the invitation to rest—true rest that only comes from trusting in Christ, who has made a way for us, where prophets and priests could not. Hunter reflects on the simplicity and challenge of entering into God's rest, urging us to move beyond fear and striving, to receive the peace that God offers. The episode closes with prayers for daily faithfulness, unity, and a call to find renewal and hope in God's creation.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, and happy Fourth of July to all our listeners tuning in today! In this episode, your host Hunter invites you to join him as he journeys through day 186 of the year, reading from 2 Kings 15 and 16, Hosea 1, and Hebrews 1. Together, you'll witness the tumultuous reigns of Israel and Judah's kings, the heartache and prophecy in the story of Hosea, and the ultimate message of hope and love declared in the opening chapter of Hebrews. Hunter encourages us to hear not just words of judgment, but Christ's words of belonging and love spoken over our lives. As you listen, you'll be guided through prayer, reflection, and a reminder that—no matter where you are or what day it is—you are truly loved. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's let the Scripture shape our hearts today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God's final word is not judgment, but life. Throughout the long story of Israel, we see a heartbreaking pattern—God reaching out in love through the prophets, but the people turning away again and again. The story we heard today, through the tragedy of Hosea and Gomer, is a vivid picture of this unfaithfulness: Israel behaving like a wayward spouse, wandering far from her first love. The consequences are deeply painful—names like “Not Loved” and “Not My People” are spoken over Israel, words that carry the weight of loss and separation from God. But God doesn't leave the story there. His final word to us isn't one of rejection or shame. The book of Hebrews begins by telling us that, though God once spoke through the prophets, now he has spoken to us by his Son. And the words that Christ speaks over us are utterly different. They are words of embrace, words of forgiveness and peace, words that say, “You are my people and you are loved.” Through Jesus, God has made a way for us to come home. Not by our own striving, not by following a set of laws or rituals, but by receiving the gift of his love and belonging poured out through Christ. The words that once named us “outsiders” are replaced by the words of the gospel: “Beloved, you belong.” Wherever the message of Jesus is received, hearts are changed. The reality of belonging, being chosen and loved by God, takes root deep inside, and everything changes. So today, hold fast to these words that Jesus speaks over you. Don't let the old words of judgment or shame take hold. Let the gospel's word—“You are mine, you are loved”—sink in and bring you peace. That is my prayer for my own soul today. That is my prayer for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that is my prayer 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.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where every day is an opportunity to gather around the Scriptures and be reminded of God's unfailing love. In today's episode for July 3rd, 2025, your host Hunter invites you into a journey through Isaiah 6 and 7, 2 Chronicles 26 and 27, and the book of Philemon. Together, we'll witness Isaiah's transformative vision of God's glory, reflect on the rise and fall of King Uzziah, and listen to Paul's heartfelt appeal to Philemon—a call to radical love and laying down our rights for the sake of others. Hunter encourages us to allow these passages to wash over our lives, offering rest, insight, and a fresh perspective on what it means to live out the gospel each day. Whether you're joining for the first time or returning as a long-time listener, get ready to experience Scripture in community, prayer, and hope—reminding us all that we are loved, and called to participate in God's work of making all things new. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Lay down your rights for love's sake. The only way this world is going to be made right is if someone puts aside their rights and offers love instead. That is the request that Paul makes of Philemon. Onesimus was Philemon's slave who had run away from him, and in God's providence both men had been led to the Lord by Paul. Now Paul is sending Onesimus back to Philemon, who by law still owns him. In this moment, Paul is challenging Philemon to discover the depths of the gospel—the radical extent to which the gospel transforms individuals and societies. Paul is reminding Philemon, and us, that the only way this world will be made right is if people put aside their rights and extend love instead. Legally, Philemon has every right over Onesimus, but Jesus has shown us a better way. Jesus set us free by giving up his own rights and becoming a servant, a slave, so that we might be set free by God. Paul, in Philippians chapter two, says that Jesus “gave up his divine privileges. He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.” Jesus gave up what was rightfully his in order to set the world free. That is the only way broken people and this broken world are made right—by the man who gave up his rights. Now, Paul is calling Philemon—and he is calling you and me—to follow this example. This isn't just a word for an ancient slave owner, but for every one of us who is trying to live in the light of Christ. There's no greater demonstration of love than to lay down our lives, our privileges, and our rights for another. When we do, we participate in the very life of the One who is making all things new. That's the prayer I have for my own soul today—that I would join Christ in learning how to lay aside my rights, my privileges, in the service of others. It's my prayer for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's my prayer for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace. Every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this episode for July 2nd, 2025, join your host Hunter as he guides us through another day in our year-long journey through the Bible. Today, we begin in Isaiah chapters 4 and 5, exploring powerful imagery of both judgment and restoration. We then move into Psalms 115 and 116, where we're reminded to trust in the Lord and to praise Him for his steadfast love and deliverance. The reading finishes in Jude chapter 1, with a call to be vigilant in our faith, build each other up, and to receive more mercy, peace, and love in Christ than we ever thought possible. As always, Hunter leads us in thoughtful reflection, heartfelt prayers, and encouragement to live out God's love daily. Whether you're seeking deeper understanding or simply some peace in your day, you're invited to warm your heart by the fire of God's love and be reminded of the blessings found in His word. So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let's journey together through the Scriptures. TODAY'S DEVOTION: You're going to need more—more mercy, more peace, and more love than you think. That's what the book of Jude reminds us today. In this world that is often filled with scoffers, grumblers, liars, and all sorts of trouble, Jude calls out to us: "May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love." And the good news is—He does. God offers us what we lack. He is our true and ultimate source of peace, love, and mercy. It's easy to look at the world and become discouraged, to feel overwhelmed by the lies we've been told or the ones we've learned to hold onto ourselves. But God gives us more in Christ. There is an invitation here—not to muster up these things on our own, but to receive from Him: mercy for our failings, peace in the midst of trouble, and love that has been poured out on all humanity—including you. Because of Him, you can pray in the power of His Spirit today. Because of Him, you already have eternal life now, and there will come a day when you stand with Him in glory. In Christ, we find the "more" that our hearts deeply need. Apart from Him, we have nothing, but with Him, we have everything—enough for today and enough for the days to come. So let us receive what He offers. Let us rest in the mercy we absolutely need. Let us abide in the peace that only He can give. Let us live in the love that has been lavished upon us. Live today in the "more" of Christ, and let your life be to the glory of God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender, we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us into the first day of July—day 183 in our journey through the Scriptures. Together, we explore Isaiah chapters 1-3, where we witness God's call for justice and mercy, alongside Titus chapter 3, which reminds us of the transformative power of God's grace. Hunter reflects on the reality of judgment described by Isaiah and the hope of redemption found in Christ, as shared in Titus. After our readings, we're guided through heartfelt prayers, encouragement to seek God's presence in creation, and a reminder that no matter our circumstance, we are deeply loved. So, settle in and let's spend some time soaking in God's Word and His goodness together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Once upon a time, there was judgment. We lived under the weight of our own rebellion—the consequences of turning from God, of choosing our own way instead of his. Rebellion, with all its promises of freedom and fulfillment, always ends up bringing something much different: judgment, pain, and brokenness. The prophet Isaiah paints a vivid picture of what it's like to be estranged from the One who loves us most. We see the heartbreak of a Father whose children have turned their backs, the emptiness of religious rituals without heart, and the devastation that comes from ignoring justice and mercy. But Isaiah doesn't just show us ruin—he points to hope. Even when God's people are stained and burdened, he pleads with them: “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow.” In the darkest places, he offers the promise of restoration, of lives made new by his mercy. Then, in Titus, the story turns. We are reminded: judgment isn't the whole story. “When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us—not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.” God's grace breaks through. Through Jesus, our sins are washed away, our lives are reborn, and we are given confidence of eternal life. Salvation isn't earned; it's poured out—generously—through the Holy Spirit. This is the story of God's grace: the story that redefines everything. Once, we lived under judgment. But now, there is a Savior. The door is wide open for return, renewal, and relationship with the living God. Mercy triumphs over judgment, and we are called anew into his light. Let us lean into that story today. Let's receive the mercy that is ours in Christ, let his Spirit renew and restore us, and remember that every new day is a testimony to his kindness. May we walk in the knowledge that God is our Father, not our enemy—always ready to welcome us home, always making a way for restoration. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that is the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Host Hunter guides us through a powerful journey in scripture as we read Amos 7–9, Psalm 104, and Titus 2. Together, we reflect on the visions and warnings delivered through the prophet Amos, the majesty and care of God captured in the psalms, and Paul's wise instructions to Titus for living a life that reflects God's grace. Hunter shares a heartfelt meditation on the true famine in our lives—a hunger not for food, but for the Word of God—and invites us to come daily to the table to be nourished by the Living Word, Jesus. We close with prayers for peace, unity, and God's restorative presence in our world and our lives. Whether you're new or returning, join us as we feast on scripture, prayer, and encouragement—reminded once again that you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There's a famine in the land, but it's not for food. The people may have all the food they need, but they're starving for something far more essential to life: the Word of God. People fill their lives with every imaginable thing, feasting on distractions and pleasures that, in the end, leave them empty and hungry. If we make this life about satisfying our earthly appetites, we end up famished, unsatisfied at the very core. Jesus put it this way: People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Christ is that bread of life. Our souls will never truly be satisfied until they are satisfied in him, the Living Word. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. The prophet Isaiah asks, “Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food.” God is calling us—listen and eat what is good. Enjoy the finest of food. Stop starving your soul. He has graciously placed a feast before us, a meal we have done nothing to earn and nothing to pay. He simply asks that we come, that we eat. Are you restless? Tired? Hungry? Famished? There's no need to go hungry today. The Living Word is here for you. His Word is gracious toward you. It is the Bread of Life, and it's free of charge. It is Him—his presence, his peace, grace, forgiveness, mercy, and love. At his table, every hunger is satisfied, every thirst is quenched. Come daily to the table and feast on his goodness. Draw strength, draw joy, draw all that you need from him. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family—for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds, quiet our striving hearts and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today—not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O God of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathed life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold, and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power, renew the face of the earth and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, Lord, let me be a bearer of your peace. Where voices divide, let me speak grace. Where fear takes root, let me plant trust. Where the world rushes on, let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb, but to kneel; not to win, but to love; not to grasp, but to give. For it is in emptying that we are filled, in surrender that we are strengthened, and in union with you that we find our truest joy. 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 trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. 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

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! Today is June 29th, and we're at day 180 in our journey through the Scriptures. I'm Heather, and I'm so glad you're joining me and listeners from around the world as we open God's Word to seek not just knowledge, but transformation—because these Scriptures point us to Jesus, the true source of life. In this episode, we dive into the prophetic words of Amos, chapters 4-6, reflecting on Israel's call to true justice and righteousness rather than empty religious rituals. We find comfort in the heartfelt prayers of Psalms 86 and 87, and wisdom from Paul's letter to Titus, chapter 1, as he instructs on godly living and leadership. We'll talk about what God is really looking for—not grand gestures or showy worship, but hearts transformed by love, flowing with justice, mercy, and living water from Christ himself. As always, we'll wrap up with prayer, trusting God to guide us into this new day with purpose and peace. So grab your Bible and get ready to be encouraged and challenged as we explore what it truly means to come to the water—the living water of Jesus. Let's jump in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: What does God want to see? Big religious festivals, big gatherings of religious people, big houses, big vineyards—a big life. Is this what he wants for his people? Apparently not. The prophet Amos tells us that God is looking for something entirely different. He wants to see a heart transformed from the inside out—a heart that loves justice and mercy, having been set free from oppression, forgiven, and experiencing the fullness of God's love. Amos 5 says, “I hate all your show and pretense, the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies. I will not accept your burnt offerings and grain offerings. I won't even notice all your choice peace offerings. Away with your noisy hymns of praise; I will not listen to the music of your harps. Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living.” What does God want to see? He wants to see a mighty flood of justice and an endless river of righteous living. But where does this river and flood come from? There's only one source. It's not our own piety. It doesn't come from the arrogant headwaters of self. The living water God desires comes from a different source entirely—a source beyond anything we could muster: Christ Jesus, the source of all living water and life itself. In John 7:38, Jesus says, “Anyone who believes in me may come and drink. For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.'” The mighty flood, the torrent of righteousness, comes from him. And we must turn to him if we want to live the kind of life God desires to see. Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink—even if you have no money, come. Take your choice of wine or milk; it's all free (Isaiah 55:1). We must come first to the water. It's there that we are changed from the inside out by the Spirit of Christ himself, living and abiding in us. Then his living water pours out into the world through us, and it's then that God sees what he truly wants to see: people who have been set free, helping to set others free with the love and power of Christ. God says, come back to me and live. Come to the water—his living water—and let it flow through you to a dry, thirsty, weary land. Drink deep from his well, and you will be amazed at what will happen. Life and justice will happen. That's my prayer for my own soul today, for my loved ones, for this community, and 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.  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

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through a reflective journey in God's Word on this 28th day of June—day 180 in our Bible reading adventure. We dig into the prophetic challenges and hope in Amos chapters 1–3, draw near through the heartfelt prayers of Psalm 80, and find inspiration in 2 Timothy chapter 4, as Paul approaches the end of his race with honesty and humility. Hunter reflects on the simple but profound needs Paul expresses in his final letter—a coat, a book, and a friend—and how these basic desires point to the spiritual essentials we need to run our own race well: the warmth of Christ, the guidance of God's Word, and the support of community. With thoughtful prayers and an encouraging invitation to gratitude, today's episode offers wisdom for persevering faith and reminds us all that, no matter where we are, we are deeply loved. Settle in, open your heart, and join us as we gather around the fire of God's love, seeking strength in His presence and Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Run well, fight the good fight. At the close of his life, the Apostle Paul offers us a glimpse of what it means to finish the race in faith. After pouring out his life for Christ, what does Paul most desire? He asks Timothy for three simple things: a coat, a book, and a friend. These requests reveal a deep wisdom for all who want to run well to the end. We need a coat, because life can be harsh, cold, and broken. The world is not always gentle or forgiving. Paul needed warmth and covering—something to shield him from the chill. And in our own lives, Christ becomes that covering. We are invited to clothe ourselves with Christ, to put Him on like a coat, so that His presence brings warmth to our coldest days. “All who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.” Only He can truly revive us and keep us warm. Paul also asks Timothy for the book—the Scriptures and treasured writings. To remain steady, to keep running our race to the end, we need the Word. God's Word is a constant encouragement, a source of strength and instruction for every step along the journey. Without it, we wander; with it, we persevere. And finally, Paul asks for a friend. Not just any companion, but John Mark—someone with whom he had previously disagreed so deeply that they parted ways. Yet here, at the finish line, Paul longs for reconciliation and companionship. The gospel does this: it softens old wounds, repairs broken bonds, and brings friends back together. Running well means traveling with others, leaning on community, and sharing both the struggles and the victories. A coat, a book, and a friend—these are the gifts Paul sought, and these are the same treasures we need today if we are to fight the good fight and run the race set before us. Wrap yourself in Christ, reach for God's Word, and be willing to walk alongside a friend—even those with whom you've struggled before. That is the prayer I have for my own soul, for my family, and 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...

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us on the 178th day of our journey through the Bible, focusing on powerful stories from 2 Kings 13-14, 2 Chronicles 25, and 2 Timothy 3. Together, we'll encounter the rise and fall of Israel's and Judah's kings, their ongoing struggles with faithfulness, and God's unwavering mercy—despite their failures. Hunter also draws us into the wisdom of Paul's words to Timothy, reminding us of the power of Scripture to correct, heal, and equip us for every good work. As always, we'll be guided in prayer and reflection, encouraged to root our lives in the truth of the Gospel, and reminded that we are deeply loved. Settle in for a thoughtful, hope-filled time in God's Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What message are you listening to? Every day, our hearts and minds are being shaped by the messages we take in—some true, some painfully untrue. The world is full of voices: past experiences, the culture around us, even old wounds, all speaking into our lives, sometimes with words that harm and mark us, sometimes with words that heal. Paul tells us in his letter to Timothy that God uses Scripture—His Word—in our lives. The Word of God is more than just ancient text or religious teaching; it's profitable, Paul says. It's useful for teaching us truth, for pointing out what is wrong in our lives, and for correcting and training us in righteousness. Through Scripture, God offers us wisdom—wisdom that leads us to trust Christ and to receive salvation. The truth is, false messages will never lead us to life. They'll run us into the ground and hold us down. But the liberating message of the Gospel sets us free. God, through His Word, prepares and equips His people to do every good work. He brings healing where there have been wounds and roots us in what is real—His love, His truth, and the life of His Son. So, what kind of message are you building your life on today? Sink your roots deep into the truth of the Gospel: Christ lives in you. By the faith of the Son of God, you can change, you can be healed, even from the deepest wounds, here and now. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family—my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds, quiet our striving hearts and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today—not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love—through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O God of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathed life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold, and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power. Renew the face of the earth and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, Lord, let me be a bearer of your peace. Where voices divide, let me speak grace. Where fear takes root, let me plant trust. Where the world rushes on, let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb, but to kneel—not to win, but to love—not to grasp, but to give. For it is in emptying that we are filled, in surrender that we are strengthened, and in union with you that we find our truest joy. 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.

On this June 26th episode, Hunter guides us through a powerful journey in the Scriptures, reading the entire book of Jonah and diving into 2 Timothy 2. Today's reflection centers on Jonah's honest struggle with God's mercy and compassion, both for himself and for the people of Nineveh. Hunter draws out the profound truth that God is actively arranging our stories, extending grace and love not just to Jonah and the Ninevites, but to all of us—right where we are. Together, we'll explore how God's mercy sometimes confounds our expectations, yet invites us into transformation and mission. The episode wraps with heartfelt prayers for peace and gratitude, honest encouragement through life's challenges, and a reminder that no matter what you're facing, you are deeply loved. Grab your Bible and join us for another day of faithful reading, reflection, and community! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jonah knew something truly important about God. And what Jonah knew—it caused him to run. We might expect that Jonah's knowledge would have made him eager to follow, but instead, it pushed him the other way. Jonah knew that God was merciful, compassionate, slow to anger, and filled with unfailing love. He knew that God was ready—eager, even—to forgive, to show mercy, to extend compassion. Ironically, it was the goodness of God that made Jonah run. He confesses it himself: “I knew you would do this, Lord! That's why I ran.” Jonah didn't want God's mercy to fall on Nineveh. He would rather run than see God share mercy with those he disliked. But God was not done with Jonah. God was arranging his story—just as he arranges ours. He arranged for storms, for a great fish, for a plant and for a worm; he arranged all things so that Jonah, and the city of Nineveh, might come to know his love. God is the arranger. He is weaving mercy into our stories, into the lives of people and nations. He is making all things new. Jonah knew God's character, but he struggled to embrace it for others. The Ninevites, on the other hand, learned that even the worst of us are not beyond the reach of God's compassion and grace. God invites us, like Jonah, to join him in his arrangement—to see, to know, to trust that he loves all people, everywhere, and is at work, often in unexpected ways, to make all things new. Do you know this? Do you know that God is merciful and compassionate toward you? That when your heart feels far, he's already working to draw you near? That, even now, he is arranging your story, weaving his love and grace into your days? Let's discover, and actively participate, with this God— the God revealed in Jesus—whose love sets us free, whose presence remakes our lives. May this be the prayer of our hearts, the prayer for our families, and for all who listen: may we come to know and trust the God who is arranging all things in love. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! It's June 25th, a new day in our journey through the scriptures together. I'm your host Hunter, your brother and Bible reading coach—coming alongside you daily to walk through the pages of God's Word and point the way to the living Word, Jesus. In today's episode, we dive into the dramatic visions of the prophet Joel (chapters 1–3), where we hear about devastating locust invasions, calls to repentance, and God's faithful promise to restore and pour out His Spirit on all people. Then, we turn to 2 Timothy chapter 1, as Paul encourages Timothy to "fan into flame" the gift of God within him, reminding us all that God has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline—not fear. Together, we'll reflect on what it means to tend the fire of God's presence in our lives, trust Him in every season, and pray for His Spirit to move in our world today. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's be nourished by God's Word and presence—because you are deeply loved, and you don't have to walk this path alone. Let's begin today's reading and prayer, right here on the Daily Radio Bible. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Fan into flame the gift of God. If you want to cook, you're going to need some fire. If you're going to eat, you're going to need some heat. Every day, you must fan into flame that gift, that fire, that God has ignited in your life. That's what Paul is telling Timothy here in 2 Timothy 1. He says, This is why I remind you—apparently he's told him this before—to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. The fire of God's abiding presence in us illuminates our path. It gives us power to live out our purpose. Paul tells Timothy: let it burn. Let it light the path. Fan that into flame. Do all that is necessary to tend that fire within you, then see what God will do. And the same is true for us. God has given us a gift—it's his abiding presence in us. There's a specific purpose that he has uniquely gifted each of us for. And it's the Spirit's fire that will illuminate that path for us and empower us to participate with God and to live out our purpose, even this very day. As you abide in him and walk with him and trust him, the fire of God's presence—his Spirit abiding in you—will show you what's required of you. Ask him to make you diligent, to tend to that fire of life, his life in you. May you fulfill all of his purposes for you. 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: Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where together we journey through the pages of Scripture and warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. In today's episode, Host Hunter guides us through powerful stories from 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, and 1 Timothy. We witness the dramatic rise of young King Joash, hidden away during a time of evil, and learn how God is always working behind the scenes—even when darkness seems to rule. As we explore the restoration of the temple and the steadfast hope of God's advancing kingdom, Hunter reminds us that grace is never transactional; it is given freely, before we've done a thing. Settle in as we seek encouragement, realign our hearts with God's truth, and remember together: you are deeply loved—no strings attached. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Seven years is a long time. That's how long Athaliah, the evil queen, ruled over the land and the people of God. Seven years had gone by since she committed unspeakable evil, murdering her own grandchildren. She wore the crown, her power seemed unshakable. She was the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, and the darkness of her reign must have felt never-ending for God's people. It can often feel, in our own lives, that evil is entrenched—that things will always remain as they are, with pain, injustice, or sorrow wearing the crown. But the story of Joash shows us something different: things are not always as they seem, and they will not always be as they are. Even when it looks as though evil is sitting on the throne, God is quietly at work, hidden away, preparing something new, something hopeful. Inside the temple, out of sight, there is a boy—a son. And at just the right moment, when all hope might seem lost, he is revealed. Joash's crowning is a signal: God's kingdom is advancing, even when we cannot see it, even when evil appears enthroned. The crown is placed on Joash's head, the true king is revealed, and the evil reign comes to an end. But Joash, as faithful as he may have been, is not the perfect king we ultimately need. His story, though hopeful, is unfinished and flawed. Our true King is Jesus, God's own Son, who does not falter or fail as Joash did. Jesus is the hidden King, waiting for the right time to be revealed in glory. He is at work—accomplishing all the Father asks, reigning forever. The evil that seems so strong will not last. The kingdom of God will be seen by all. The pages of Scripture remind us that God is always at work behind the scenes. His real King is alive and coming. In times when darkness lingers, when evil seems to rule, do not despair. Hold fast, by the Spirit's power, to the hope of His coming. See and hear this truth—your King is coming. That is my prayer for myself, my family, and for you, dear listener. May we hold on to the hope of Christ's reign, and may we remember: God is at work, even now, in ways we cannot see. Let this hope strengthen us and fill us with courage, as we wait for our King. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul. Renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
