Matthew 15:21–28. While others begged Jesus to send the Canaanite woman away, she refused to back down, revealing a desperation that moved heaven. Jesus' silence wasn't rejection, but invitation. Her faith pressed past offense, and her response gave her access to covenant promises she wasn't even “qualified” for. Pastor Ryan Schlachter reminds us: breakthrough often comes when we let Jesus offend our expectations. Even the crumbs of His presence are more than enough. Desperation that draws near is the door to divine encounter.

In this episode, we look at the desperation Rachel experienced because of her deep desire to have a child and her inability to conceive. Already having a rivalry with her sister, she watched with sorrow as her sister Leah gave her husband child after child while Rachel gave him none. We look at what this desperation teaches us, how we see similar sorrow with Hannah but different reactions and how we should follow Hannah's lead and heed the warning of what we see Rachel do wrong.

On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America dissect the mainstream media's rapid unraveling in real time. They spotlight a pivotal Axios article that accidentally reveals just how much Trump's popularity has surged, even among former doubters, and how tightly the regime is clinging to control through narrative warfare. The hosts unpack the collapse of lawfare tactics, citing the timing of the Hunter Biden gun trial, the desperation behind the fake “nuclear secrets” narrative, and the dangerous implications of Judge Boasberg's rhetoric. Ashe breaks down the power of 4am talking points and the illusion of coordinated messaging, while CannCon points to the growing gaps in media cohesion. With references to the 51 intel letter, social engineering, and DC circuit corruption, this episode pulls back the curtain on a system that's eating itself alive, and a public that's finally waking up.

As appalling scenes of starvation and destruction out of Gaza continue, Christiane speaks exclusively with the Palestinian Authority Prime Minister. The two discuss the hunger crisis in the enclave, who governs the day after the Gaza war ends, and hopes for Palestinian statehood. Then, Oscar-winning filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov joins Christiane to discuss his new documentary "2000 Meters to Andriivka," bringing the brutality of war alive on-screen and connecting viewers to the everyday men fighting on the front lines. Also, from Downton Abbey to Hollywood's golden age, actress Elizabeth McGovern talks to Christiane about her new play about Ava Gardner, and the men who loved her.  Plus, CNN's Isobel Yeung travels to Afghanistan reporting on the devastating impacts and distressing reality on the ground after USAID cuts. And, from her archives, 72 years after the armistice agreement ended fighting in the Korean War,  Christiane's report from Pyongyang about how the legacy of that war is still fueling North Korean hatred towards the United States decades later.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you need restoration today? Today's guest is Meshali Mitchell—portrait artist, storyteller, and author of the book Restored. In this deeply heartfelt conversation, Meshali shares her personal journey of restoration, drawing parallels between renovating a crumbling 1886 farmhouse and the process of emotional and spiritual healing. She opens up about her upbringing as an evangelist's daughter, her battles with depression and anxiety, and the ways that desperation and brokenness became the threshold to true healing. Meshali discusses practical steps and soul-deep truths, from seeking wise counsel and building a strong community, to embracing both patience and self-forgiveness along the long road toward restoration. If you've ever felt worn down, overwhelmed, or uncertain how to rebuild when life feels shattered, this episode offers hope, encouragement, and actionable tools to help you restore the “rooms of your soul.” Meshali's vulnerable testimony and creative analogies promise to uplift and inspire you—reminding us all that restoration is not only possible, but promised for those who partner with God. Takeaways Restoration is a journey that everyone is on. Desperation can lead to healing and transformation. Surrounding yourself with a supportive community is crucial. Healing requires both big moments and a process. You are the gatekeeper of your own soul. Pain must be felt and processed for true healing. Self-forgiveness is key to moving forward. Practical steps are necessary for emotional health. Restoration is a promise for those who believe. The process of restoration reveals deeper truths about ourselves.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. 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! On this July 23rd episode, your host Hunter invites listeners from around the globe to gather for day 205 of our journey through the Scriptures. Today's readings include 2 Kings 20, Isaiah 38 and 39, Psalm 75, and 1 Peter 2. Join Hunter as he reflects on the story of King Hezekiah's illness and miraculous recovery, the lessons hidden within his encounter with Babylonian envoys, and the call from 1 Peter to crave pure spiritual nourishment for lasting transformation. Alongside thoughtful reflections, heartfelt prayers, and encouragement for real life change, Hunter reminds us to find our hope, comfort, and true life in Christ. Whether you're at home or, like Hunter and Heather, camping along the Oregon coast, take these next 20 minutes to open your heart to God's Word—because you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Change requires work. Change of appetites, change of habits. Changing the things we turn to instead of turning from. It's going to take some work, and that's going to take some time. You might be sick and tired of your way of doing things. Maybe you're just exhausted with yourself. If so, Peter tells us right here that getting rid of the things you want to change isn't going to be enough. If we just remove it, when the troubles come, when we're stressed out, we're going to go right back to where we've been and do the things we've done before. No, simply stopping what you're doing doesn't bring about the change that you want. It's not just stopping, no. It will also require starting—craving something new. The answer is never just to get rid of the old, to sweep the cupboards of all the junk food. No. You've got to change your diet and begin craving something altogether different: the pure spiritual milk of God's Word. It requires a total change of diet. We must replace it and not just remove it. We need to assume a childlike heart and crave the pure spiritual milk of the Word. The Word is Christ. To draw from Christ our nourishment, our comfort, our life. Peter says become like a baby in that regard: totally dependent upon him. Peter says if we do that, we will begin to experience change—real change from the inside out. So let's do that. Let's continue to show up here each and every day to train our souls, to partake of God's food, his milk, his bread, to be dependent upon him for our very breath. It's not just about getting rid of things. It's about him—finding our life in him, learning something new altogether as we come to him, the source of our true nourishment and life. And that's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that'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 our 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. 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

Send us a textHave you ever been in a wilderness season for an extended period of time? I'm in one now, and Jamie MacDonald's song Desperate resonated deeply with me. When we explore the stories of desperate people in Scripture, we find that God consistently shows up in powerful ways. This week, we follow the example of one such person—the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings—and discover how faith-fueled contentment can coexist with crisis.Scripture References2 Kings 4:8-37Key PointsDesperation comes in many forms. Scripture reveals both positive and negative responses to desperation—such as the woman with the issue of blood versus Esau trading his birthright for a bowl of stew.Faith-fueled contentment is not denial. The Shunammite woman's “all is well” was not a pep talk—it was a declaration rooted in deep faith.Desperation doesn't have to drive you from God—it can drive you to Him. In her moment of crisis, the Shunammite woman didn't send word—she went to the prophet herself and clung to his feet.Unmet desires don't negate contentment. Even though she didn't ask for a son, the longing was still there—and God met it. But when the promise seemed lost, she chose action rooted in belief.Observing biblical narrative carefully leads to powerful insight. Repetition, character details, and implied time gaps all deepen our understanding of the text and help us engage more fully.Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs) UsedRead in context – Engage with the full narrative in 2 Kings 4:8-37.Repetition – Read and re-read the passage to become familiar with the details.Make observations – Write down what you notice in the text.Use your imagination – Picture the setting and feel the emotions in the scene.Define words – Look up and explore both meanings and antonyms.Consider the opposite – What does it mean not to be desperate? What does contentment look like?Use the SPECK method: S – Is there a sin to avoid?P – Is there a promise revealed?E – Is there an example to follow?C – Is there a command to obey?K – What should I know about God?Additional ResourcesLyrics and chords - New Release TodayMy friend Denise Pass's book Make Up Your Mind and her speaking live on the Shunammite woman has informed this episode - link to Make Up Your MindFree Episode Guide Logos Bible Software Affiliate Link resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeRead this narrative for yourself in 2 Kings 4:8-37. Give yourself permission to slow down and imagine the details (written, implied, and in between the lines). Read this narrative repetitively and talk about it with a friend. Make some observations and write them down. Then consider what you've observed in the Shunammite woman that can serve as an example for your life and respond accordingly.

A lot of schools are willing to go to dramatic lengths to have a seat at the table.

The Wall Street Journal drops a front page story alleging Donald Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a 50th birthday card decades ago and drew a naked woman on it, a "bombshell" so preposterous, only MSNBC is seriously pushing it. Trump says he will sue the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch for printing the story despite his adamant denials that he wrote the "letter." Will the tall tale do the opposite the Deep State hopes and bring MAGA back to full-circle support for Trump? Generic polling doesn't look good for democrats.

We have a heritage of faith, but we're not just studying history. God has called us to this time and place to complete an assignment. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the United States' Christian beginnings and the obligation we have to uphold godly ideals in our culture today. Pastor Allen shares about Elijah's and Jesus' difficult assignments—and how they overcame opposition with God's strength. We all have a sphere of influence and a mission from the Lord, so let's work at recognizing His movement and saying yes to His invitations!

No matter how faithful we are to God, disaster sometimes seeks us out. How do we not just hang on to Christ, but lead others to do so as well? We should feel inspired to prepare for the storm, and when in the storm, comforted that we're not alone. (2 Kings 18:13-19:36; 2 Chronicles 32:1-21; Isaiah 36-37) Speaker: Carl Kuhl
