On this episode for August 23rd, 2025, your Bible Reading Coach, Hunter, guides us through a rich journey in the Scriptures, exploring Jeremiah 31 and 32, followed by First John 4. As we listen to God's promises of restoration, Hunter unpacks the profound declaration of a new covenant—a covenant not written on tablets of stone, but on our very hearts. We also pause with John's letter to consider the nature of true love, the assurance we have as God's children, and the freedom that perfect love brings from fear and shame. Join us for moments of scripture, insight, and heartfelt prayer as we reflect on God's everlasting love, the invitation to live in peace and gratitude, and the challenge to let love—God's own love—shape every part of our daily lives. Whether you're seeking encouragement or a deeper connection with God, this episode offers a fresh reminder: you are loved, and God has made a way for you. Let's spend these few moments together, listening and growing in the presence of the One who is love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: A new covenant, a new heart, a new hope. Jeremiah is given a prophecy from the Lord about a coming day—a day when God himself will do something entirely new. God promises to write his covenant, not just on tablets of stone, nor simply in laws and rituals, but deep within his people, written upon their very hearts. The old covenant—well-intentioned, but forever frustrated by human weakness—would give way to something greater. The life that this first covenant called for would finally be lived out in perfection, not by us, but by His Son. Jesus, the spotless Lamb, lived a life of love and obedience, fulfilling what Israel and all of us could not. By his loving sacrifice, he has reconciled us—broken, exhausted, rebellious exiles—back to God. This is God's new work: he has taken the old, hardened heart of Adam and replaced it with a new heart, a heart that desires fellowship, love, and communion with God. Where shame, guilt, and fear once reigned, God plants a new covenant, a new hope, a new person. He does not merely repair us; he remakes us. “I will put my instructions deep within them,” Jeremiah says. “I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” This is not something we accomplish—it is something God has done for us, out of his unending love. The apostle John says it so plainly: “God is love. And all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.” God's perfect love has made a way for us to live free—free from condemnation, free from shame, free from fear. As we continue to trust, to abide, and to participate with Him, our lives are gradually transformed. Our love grows more perfect. We begin to live as those who are truly loved, loving others, and living with confidence. Fear loses its grip, because perfect love expels all fear. This good news—the news of a new covenant written on our hearts, of lives made new in love—is for us and for the world. Let us awaken each day to this reality. God's love is not just something we hear about; it has been poured into our hearts, making us new people, with a new purpose and a new hope. That's a prayer I have for my own soul, to live in this love, to participate in it, to let it drive out fear, condemnation, shame, and guilt. I pray that for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer I have for you, too. 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. 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! On this episode, recorded August 21st, 2025, we journey through powerful passages in Jeremiah, Psalm 118, and 1 John 2. Your host, Hunter, guides us through stories of exile, hope, and God's enduring love, reminding us that while the cravings of this world leave us empty, a life rooted in Christ brings true satisfaction and meaning. Listen in for a heartfelt prayer, thoughtful reflections about moving beyond self-focused desires, and encouragement to embrace the little, everyday ways Christ's love shapes our lives. As summer comes to a close, take a moment to rest, reflect, and remember: you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Cravings. We all get them. The world offers us strong cravings for physical pleasures, possessions, pride, and our achievements. But like all cravings, they are never satisfied. We are left empty in the end, wanting more. They never deliver. These cravings are self-focused. They are self-indulgent. When we give in to them, we get stuck. We become shallow, hollowed out, empty people—people who are always craving more. And the more we crave, the emptier and more hollow our lives become. But John wants to direct us to another way—a way made available to all by the presence of Christ's Spirit within us. Because of his life in you, you can live a life that goes beyond yourself, a life that truly satisfies, a life fully focused on walking with God, serving, and loving others. Our response and our participation to the life of Christ in us is the beginning of living Christ-focused. It enables us to move beyond the endless cycle of craving, emptiness, shame, and despair. Instead, we experience hope, love, kindness, joy. We experience a fruitful and meaningful life. The cravings of this world are strong, but there's something far more powerful and that's available to you, and that is Christ in you—your hope and your glory. And Christ's life in us isn't always expressed in something big and loud and flamboyant. In fact, most often it leads to something common and every day and humble, like being kind, sharing with those in need, listening to others, exercising your unique gifts, recognizing the gifts of others. These things, as well as others, are common markers of Christ's life in us. The exercise of these common acts of kindness, humility, and love are what leads to a truly satisfying life. May you find your satisfaction there with him today. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. 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: 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.   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

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. 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 August 19th's scripture readings, taking us on a journey from Jeremiah chapters 45 and 47, to Psalm 105, and ending with John 21. Hunter reflects on powerful themes of God's unwavering love and faithfulness—even in the face of failure, brokenness, and exile. Through the story of Peter's restoration by Jesus, we're invited to see ourselves as loved, forgiven, and renewed, no matter the weight of our past mistakes. Along the way, Hunter encourages us to let God's love reshape our lives so we can share that same hope with others. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers and gratitude for this global community of listeners. So, wherever you are, settle in as we warm our hearts together by the fires of God's love, and remember: you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Love is rooted in God. He is love's origin and source. That is who he is. God is love. His love is not conditioned on our response, our attitudes, our prayers, or our work for him. It simply is, because that is who God is. The rock that Peter is and will become is quarried from the rock that is Christ himself. He's a chip off the old block. Peter's very being is rooted in God. Something fundamental has shifted. Peter has been drawn into the life of Christ. This is, to use a big word, an ontological reality that Peter must begin to grapple with, and must allow to transform his entire being. Peter no doubt struggled with the failure that was his denial of Christ. He no doubt struggled to see himself in any other way than as weak, a fraud, a failure. I'm sure there was a mountain of self-loathing in the wake of his denial. So Jesus asks Peter three times this fundamental question: Do you love me? Jesus is chipping away at all the ways we see ourselves and frame our lives, that stand in the way of us fully participating in what really is, and who we really are. Peter has to know that he himself is loved, forgiven, that he is in Christ. Christ sees something in Peter that Peter is struggling to see himself: God's love, God's love for him. And Peter needs to see in others what God has already seen in him. Those sheep, Peter, they're like you. They have failed. They are hiding. They are afraid. They are ashamed. But the truth is, like you, they are already forgiven. The truth is that they are new. The truth is that they are loved. Now go tell them. Feed them with this gospel. Now, enough about Peter. Let's talk about you. Jesus sees something in you. And you, like Peter, might be struggling to see it. Maybe Jesus is chipping away at all the many ways that your failures have framed your life. Well, the truth is that your real life is hidden with God in Christ. And the more that you begin to awaken to that reality and God's love for you, the more you will be able to offer that love to God's sheep—to all the people you see today, all the people living under the crushing weight of their failures and shame. Let God chip away at those things that keep you from seeing what God really sees in you: that you are already forgiven, that you are already loved, that you are already in Christ. Now offer this message to everyone in your world. Feed his sheep. That's a 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 a 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.  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, where we journey together through the Scriptures and let the Bible direct our hearts to the living Word of God. In today's episode, we find ourselves on August 18th, marking the 230th day in our year-long exploration of the Bible. Hunter, your Bible reading coach and host, guides us through powerful passages from Jeremiah 26, 35, and 36, and then into the profound hope of John chapter 20. As we listen, we encounter the steadfastness of God's Word in the face of persecution and rejection—watching as scrolls are burned yet rewritten, and promises reemerge with even greater depth. In John's Gospel, the resurrection story echoes this triumph over destruction: where flames and the cross cannot extinguish God's purposes or His living Word, Jesus. Join us for prayer, reflection, and encouragement as we seek to move from ashes to abundant life in Christ—a life that cannot be extinguished, no matter what trials may come. Settle in and let's warm our hearts by the fire of God's unending love, discover encouragement for the day ahead, and remember: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The Word cannot be extinguished. In Jeremiah, we see pages of God's Word set on fire by an evil king. The world may try to silence the truth, to sever its message, and to scatter its ashes—but the Word of God cannot be extinguished. The king slices the scroll and burns each section, thinking he can judge and end what God has spoken. But God's Word returns, and not just the same—this time, it comes back with much more. Even human defiance, the fiercest resistance, cannot put an end to what God is doing. Out of the ashes, God's Word emerges anew—rewritten, restored, reaffirmed. The prophet proclaims again what God will do. The king may burn the scroll, but he cannot burn the author or extinguish the purpose. And then, we turn to John's Gospel. We see the evil king, Satan, striving to put an end to God's Living Word, Jesus, by consigning him to the cross. Yet, just as with the scroll, the cross cannot stop God. In fact, it is at the cross that God's purpose is fulfilled most deeply. Jesus goes to the cross for us—to enter into the fire of judgment, the depths of death and darkness—for our sake. But neither the grave nor the flames of judgment can hold him. As Jeremiah's scroll was rewritten, so Jesus emerges from the tomb—the resurrection and the life. He becomes the firstfruits of all who will be brought into God's much more, the abundant life he promises. He consigned himself to the cross so that we might move beyond the ashes and into the new life—the much more life—found only in him. The invitation is to leave behind the fires of despair and enter into resurrection hope, to embrace the abundance that Jesus brings. That is the prayer for my own soul today: that I may step into the much more of life in Christ. It is the prayer for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it is the prayer 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...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through the Scriptures together, one day at a time. In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through the reading for August 16th, beginning with the turbulent days of Judah's exile in 2 Kings 24, followed by Jeremiah's passionate call for justice and covenant faithfulness in chapter 22. We find encouragement and wisdom in Psalm 112, celebrating the blessings of those who walk in God's ways. Our journey culminates in John 18, as we witness the dramatic arrest and trial of Jesus, and are confronted with the powerful choice between two very different Jesuses—Barabbas, the insurrectionist, or Jesus, the Messiah who offers a radically different, self-giving way. Hunter invites us to reflect on which “Jesus” we choose to follow—not just in theory, but in the real, daily choices of our lives. The episode closes with time for silent reflection, heartfelt prayers for peace and unity, and a reminder that we are all held in the steadfast love of God. So settle in as we read, meditate, and pray together—seeking to know, trust, and embody the way of Jesus, the One who is love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Two Jesuses stand before the crowd. Pilate offers a choice: Jesus the Messiah, or Jesus Barabbas—the insurrectionist. One, an agent of violence and revolt, seeking to overthrow enemies by force. The other, the true King—one who tells his followers to put away their swords, who chooses the path of suffering love, who proclaims a kingdom not of this world. This is the radical contrast at the heart of today's reading. Jesus does not call us to rise up in violence, to grasp at power, or to secure our futures by worldly means. He calls us instead to the self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering way of the cross. His is a kingdom that is wholly “other”—marked not by domination or fear, but by resurrection life born out of sacrifice and love. The crowd was tempted—and we are too—to choose the easier way, the seemingly practical way. We hear the voices: “The Jesus way isn't realistic. That's not how the world works.” Even Scripture can be twisted to justify choosing a Barabbas instead of the true King. It's telling: the Bible people of Jesus' day stirred up the crowd for the wrong messiah. But Jesus stands before us today, as he did before Pilate, offering us another kind of kingdom. He invites us to a life not marked by winning at any cost, but by loving self-sacrificially. He invites us out of the cycles of the world's kingdoms—out of violence, revenge, and self-interest—into his new and living way. This is the only way out; it's the only way forward. And it is a daily choice. Will we embrace the self-giving, radically forgiving way of Jesus, or find reasons to excuse ourselves from it? Will we choose the suffering, self-emptying King, or just another Barabbas? Today, I choose what the crowd did not. I choose Jesus. I choose the path he has shown—the way of surrender, trust, and love. I choose his truth. I choose his life. I choose the God who is love. That's the prayer I have for my soul. And that's my prayer for my family—my wife, 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.

On this August 15th episode, your host and Bible reading coach, Hunter, invites you to journey through the pages of Scripture together. Today's readings include Jeremiah chapters 18–20, Psalm 93, and John 17. As we reflect on God's word, Hunter reminds us that the Scriptures point our hearts to Jesus, the living Word, and reveal the deep love and blessings the Father lavishes upon us. We explore themes of God's transformative power, His call to repentance, and the unity, joy, and protection Jesus prays over His followers. The episode closes with a heartfelt blessing and a time of prayer—reminding us that we are deeply loved, and calling us to walk forward in God's joy and strength. Join us as we root ourselves in His love and truth, together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus prays a blessing over us. We see this kind of blessing prayer echoed throughout scripture—patriarchs blessing their children, conferring identity, inheritance, and place in the family of God. In John 17, Jesus is offering this kind of prayer, but it's a prayer that echoes into eternity, and it is not just for the twelve gathered there that night. It's for us. We are included in this blessing, this conferral of identity and destiny. We are told who we are in God's family, what our inheritance is as His children. What is spoken over us here is the message of life in the Son—the Gospel conferred as a gift, received freely. From this gift of Christ flow so many others: gifts of unity, gifts of protection, the gift of joy, the gift of God's Word, and supremely, the gift of Christ himself. Jesus prays, “Father, you have given me your name. Now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are.” We are blessed with unity in Him. He says, “I have given them your word.” In His word, we find joy, our identity, the assurance that we are loved. He gives himself as a sacrifice for us, setting us apart, making us holy by his truth. And finally, he says, “I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.” The presence of Christ in us is our hope, our glory, our very life. This abiding blessing is the Christian life: God pouring out his love, his joy, his strength, his word, his presence—his life—into ours. So let your roots go down deep into the love of God. May you discover, each day, how wide, how long, how high, how deep is Christ's love for you. May you experience the fullness of this life and power, made complete in Him. This is the prayer for my soul. This is the prayer for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And this 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. 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.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. 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 August 14th, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible. Join your host, Hunter, as he guides us through day 227 of our journey in Scripture. Today's readings take us from the prophetic words of Jeremiah—speaking into exile, hope, and the deep struggles of the human heart—to the exuberant praise in Psalm 96, and finally into the tender, powerful moments Jesus shares with His disciples in John 16. Hunter invites us to imagine what it would be like to spend a whole day with Jesus—free from judgment, fear, and condemnation, and filled instead with peace and God's loving presence. As we listen, we're reminded that Christ's presence and the Spirit are available to us today, wherever we are, inviting us into a life marked by deep joy and abiding faith. Stay with us for Scripture, reflection, and prayer to help you ground your day in God's word and love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Imagine a day with Jesus—just beginning your day with him, having coffee, driving to work, simply sharing your routines and moments with him. As you spend this day with Jesus, you soon realize it is a day like no other. It's a day without judgment, a day without fear, a day without condemnation—a day lived in God's life-giving presence, where you are truly free. How could anything be better than that? That's exactly what the disciples experienced: days and years walking with Jesus, learning from him, being next to him, their eyes opened to who God is and what he is truly like—self-giving, radically forgiving, and co-suffering in his love for all, even for enemies. For these disciples, there didn't seem a greater reality than simply being by his side. But in John 16, Jesus tells them something almost unimaginable. He says it's better for them—better for us—that he should go. Why? Because as he departs, he promises to send the Advocate, the Spirit of God, who will dwell not just with a few, but in all who receive him. This Advocate, the Holy Spirit, reveals to the world the true character and glory of God. He brings God's abiding presence into every believer's life, awakening us to a deeper reality: Christ, not just among us, but within us—wherever we are, whatever our circumstance. The presence of Christ in us is God's best gift, given freely today to all his children. No matter if you're in Cincinnati, Somerset, Perth, or São Paulo, the Spirit of Christ is with you, awakening your heart to the presence and peace of God. Through him, you can live this day—every day—without condemnation, without fear, enjoying the peace and abundant joy that Jesus gives. God's best is yours, right now. That's the prayer I have for my own soul: to live and walk in that presence, in that peace and freedom. It's the prayer I hold for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today. Let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth that I am yours and you are with me. 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 another episode of the Daily Radio Bible! On this August 11th journey through scripture, your host and Bible reading coach, Hunter, invites you to spend a few precious moments in the presence of God's Word. Today's readings take us through Jeremiah 7–9 and John 13, where we hear powerful messages of warning, repentance, and the boundless love of Christ. Hunter reflects on what it means to let Jesus wash not just our feet, but our souls—teaching us about humility, grace, and the importance of daily communion with God. Join us as we listen, reflect, pray, and remember the deep truth that we are loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: You have to get washed, and he has to wash you. You have to humbly accept Jesus' care over your life as he washes your feet. If you don't, Jesus says, you're going to miss him. You're not going to get Him. You won't understand what he's all about. There's a difference between union and communion. Peter and the twelve were united with Christ—they were one with Christ. But just like you and me, their feet got dirty because they walked in a world that is fallen and broken and dirty. Journeying through this life takes a toll on us, and our souls need to be drawn in over and over again to our life with Him. We need to be realigned, renewed, refreshed. We need to be washed. We need to come into communion with him again. So Jesus insists on cleaning our feet. When he cleans our feet, he's reminding us of who we are in him. You are his daughter. You are his son. You are one with Him. Jesus insists on caring for us throughout our lives, washing our feet, reminding us of the intimate care and grace that's offered to us each and every day. It's a humbling thing for someone to wash our feet, but our souls are in need of the humbling reality of Christ serving us. Our pride, like Peter's, wants to rise up and demand otherwise—“you'll never wash my feet,” says Peter. The flesh, our pride, always refuses. But the presence of Christ humbles us and teaches us in this moment. He teaches us who we are and what we are to become. We are chosen. We are in Him. We have union with God and we are to participate with him as servants of God. There is union, and there is communion. Our union has been forged through the life, death, resurrection of Christ—Christ alone. Our communion is where we participate with him in who we now have become and join in on what he is now doing today. He continues to wash us, even through this Word, through what we're doing here right now. You may not have noticed this, but while we were hearing the Word today, something else was happening, if you will. Christ was serving you, washing your feet. Ephesians 5 says, we are washed by the cleansing of the Word. He's washing our feet as we listen to and respond to His Word each day. Jesus says to you what he said to Peter: those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet—their whole body is clean. The water of God's Word washing our feet is going to be a part of our life together from here on out. Don't let your pride and flesh stand in the way of Christ serving you. And maybe next time, when you come to the Word, envision Jesus, the Creator of all things, washing your feet. Let it be a reminder to you that you are one with him, and that we need him to renew, to restore, to clean us—and that we are loved. And let that love move beyond you into the world to others, so that you can love the way he loved and served 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 a 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.

It's not often talked about in our culture today, but we can experience both God's intervention in our lives and the consequences of our sin. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the anointing of King Saul over Israel in the book of 1 Samuel. He shares how the Israelites chose complaints over godliness, and how Samuel was obedient to the Lord even through rejection. The history of Israel teaches us many lessons, and in this chapter, we get to reflect on the condition of our hearts—so let's practice repentance and strive to honor God daily.

Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice.” One of the most essential skills we can cultivate is knowing God's voice and listening to Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the choice each generation has to align with God and learn to listen. Pastor Allen teaches from the book of 1 Samuel, where he shares lessons in topics like parenting, thankfulness, listening, and rejection. He gives us five steps we can begin to implement today to grow our listening skills, and we learn from the people of Israel the importance of joy over complaining. We each have a choice to make. Will we choose to know God?

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, and thanks for joining us on this seventh day of August, day 220 in our journey through the Scriptures. I'm Hunter, your host and Bible reading coach, here to spend some meaningful time with you in God's Word. Today, we're delving into Zephaniah chapters 1 through 3 and John chapter 9. Together, we'll explore powerful themes: God's judgment, restoration, and the surprising ways He reveals Himself, even in our darkest moments. As we read about the dire warnings to Jerusalem and the miracle of the man born blind, we're invited to let go of false ideas about God and discover His true nature—one of love, restoration, and self-giving grace. Stay tuned as we open our hearts, let the Bible direct our gaze to Jesus, and pray for eyes to see the light of the world anew. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He opens our eyes to the truth of who God is. What is God to do with a world trapped in darkness, unable to see, fumbling after answers and lost beneath lies about who he is? Many of us, even those who have walked with God, labor under the false assumption that God is distant, angry, and waiting to punish us, that his aim is to make an example out of us for our sins or our parents' mistakes. But when Jesus steps onto the scene, he is the light of the world, shining in our darkness—a living answer to every doubt and misbelief about God's heart. We witness this firsthand in John 9, as Jesus bends to the earth, forms mud from his own spit and the dust, and spreads it across a blind man's eyes. What was lifeless and incapable of sight is remade by the hands of God, and suddenly the impossible happens—this man sees. The very power of God is revealed in this healing, but it's not just a physical miracle. This is a sign. Jesus is showing us what he longs to do for each of us: to remove the scales from our eyes, to free us from crippling untruths about the Father, and to welcome us into the radiant light of his presence. Yet, so often, lies keep us bound in darkness. Religion might paint God in the colors of our own fears, as if he is more interested in punishment than in restoration, as if he is more judge than Father. But Jesus shows us something utterly different—self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. When we look at Jesus, we are seeing the heart of the Father. As he told Philip: “If you've seen me, you've seen the Father.” There is no shadow side to God, no surprise cruelty or hidden rage, only the faithful love we see in Jesus. Are you weary of the darkness, of striving and fearing separation? Let Jesus open your eyes today. Let him show you who God really is: the one who heals, who welcomes, who sings over you with joy. You are not separate or abandoned; you're invited into his light, already embraced in his love. This is the prayer I carry for my own soul, for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it is the prayer I hold for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive today. Let my words carry your kindness, my actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth that I am yours and you are with me. 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

On this August 6th episode, Host Hunter guides us through day 219 of our journey through the Scriptures. Today, we dive into the book of Habakkuk, exploring the prophet's heartfelt cries for justice and God's powerful assurance in the midst of turmoil. Hunter then leads us to the Gospel of John, chapter 8, where we witness Jesus' radical compassion for the woman caught in adultery and His bold declaration: “I am the light of the world.” As we reflect on the question, “Who are you?”—the very question the crowds pressed upon Jesus—Hunter unpacks how our perceptions of God can be clouded by fear and lies, and reminds us that looking to Jesus on the cross reveals the true heart of God: love. Alongside our readings, Hunter offers prayers rooted in peace, hope, and unity, inviting us to continue growing in faith and understanding. Whether you're joining with your family or spending quiet time alone, this episode is a warm invitation to encounter the living Word and remember this important truth: you are loved. Let's begin today's journey together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Who are you? That was the question on everyone's lips in John 8. The religious leaders, confused and threatened by Jesus, kept demanding an answer. Who could he possibly be? Why did his words stir up so much fear—and so much hope? Sometimes, just like those early listeners, our own hearts are not ready to truly hear Jesus's answer. We find ourselves blinded by lies—lies that feed our fears, that swell our pride, that paint God with the colors of our own anxieties. These lies keep us from seeing Jesus for who he really is, and they keep us from the healing he longs to give. So what does God do when we are lost in that darkness? He comes. He doesn't shame us or turn away—he steps into our confusion and brokenness with love. In Jesus, God shows us the way of love: self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will know that I am he.” If we want to see who Jesus is, we have only to look at the cross. There, we see what the woman caught in adultery saw: the one who stoops down, enters into the dust of our lives, and writes something new—a story not of condemnation, but of mercy and life. At the cross, we see the one who takes away the sin of the world, who includes us in the love he shares with the Father. We see love; that is who he is. That's the prayer of my heart today: that I would truly hear and see Jesus answer that old question, “Who are you?”—and that I would recognize Love lifted up for the world. This is my prayer for myself, for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's my prayer for you, too. 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. O 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. O Lord, grant that I might not seek so much 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 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 every day is a fresh journey through the pages of Scripture. It's August 5th and we're on Day 218 of our adventure together. I'm your host, Hunter—your brother, Bible reading coach, and fellow traveler as we gather from places near and far to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. In today's episode, we dive into 2 Kings 23, 2 Chronicles 35, and John 7. We'll witness King Josiah's groundbreaking reforms to restore true worship in Israel, the powerful celebration of Passover that hadn't been seen since the time of the judges, and the challenges Josiah faced against powerful nations. Then, we'll turn to the gospel of John and find Jesus at the Festival of Shelters, teaching boldly about living water—the Spirit that he promises to pour out on all who believe. Along the way, Hunter draws out the deeper meaning behind the festival's water-pouring ceremony, connecting it to Jesus' declaration that he is the true source of life and hope. We'll wrap up with heartfelt prayers for God's guidance, mercy, and joy as we step into a new day. So grab your Bible, settle in, and join us as we encounter God's living Word together—and remember, you are loved. No doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is the Source of Living Water. Picture the scene at the festival of shelters—each day, the priest carries water from the pool of Siloam, pours it out upon the altar, and it runs down the temple steps. For seven days, this ritual is repeated, and on the final day, the expectation and hope of the people reach their pinnacle. This act was more than tradition; it was a symbol, a living picture of the Messiah pouring out the Spirit upon God's people, a promise rooted in the Scriptures—“I will pour out water to quench your thirst and irrigate your parched fields… I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants and my blessing on your children” (Isaiah 44:3). And in this very moment, Jesus stands and shouts to the crowds: “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me. Anyone who believes in me may come and drink.” It's as if Jesus steps into the very heart of the ceremony and says, All of this points to me. I am the One you've been waiting for. I am the Source of the Living Water the world so desperately needs. The promise, the hope, and the life the ritual anticipated is found in Him—and received by coming to Him, trusting Him, believing. That's the invitation Christ makes to you and to me: to come to the Source, to drink freely, to allow His Spirit—like streams of living water—to flow within us and out of us into a thirsty, longing world. No longer do we look for life in ceremonies or traditions—good as they may be—because the true fulfillment is Christ Himself, the One in whom all God's promises find their “yes.” We don't come to Jesus for fame, for recognition, or for any fleeting thing. His brothers sought notoriety, but Jesus came, not to be applauded, but to do what the Father asked—to seek, to save, and to invite us into the overflowing life He shares with the Father and the Spirit. His heart is to give, to pour out, so that we too would be channels of living water, blessing, hope, and renewal to the world. So, today, let's come to Him who is the Source. Let's drink deeply of the life He freely gives. Let's allow the living water to flow through us—transforming us, refreshing us, and reaching out to others. 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's the prayer 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.
