Join your host, Hunter, as we journey through Day 151 of our trip through the Bible. Today, we continue in Proverbs, chapters 13 through 15, where wisdom for daily living abounds—from guarding our words and embracing discipline, to the value of humility and the power of a gentle answer. Then, we turn to Romans 11, as Paul dives into the mystery of God's grace—free and undeserved—for both Jews and Gentiles alike. Through readings, reflection, and heartfelt prayer, this episode invites us to rest in God's boundless mercy, trust in His wisdom, and remember one thing above all: you are loved. Settle in for encouragement, reflection, and the daily strength found in God's word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It is what it is—and what it is, is grace. As Paul writes in Romans 11, God's grace is free and undeserved, offered to Jew and Gentile alike. In verse 6, he puts it plainly: “And since it is through God's kindness, then it is not through their good works. For in that case, God's grace would not be what it really is, free and undeserved.” We keep returning to this good news: there is enough love to go around for everyone, enough grace for all people, from every tribe and nation. God's mercy is deeper, wider, and higher than we can begin to comprehend. Paul exclaims, “Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge. How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways.” We may not be able to make sense of it all, but the mystery is this: God's mercy is poured out on all—despite our failures and disobedience, despite whether we think we are deserving. His grace is not dependent on our goodness, but rooted deeply in his own loving character. So what are we to do with this wondrous, boundless mercy? Paul's invitation, and the call of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, is to trust in what God has done for us. It's about him—about his saving work, his unending love. We are invited to live in him, to let his grace transform us, to move forward each day in the light of his boundless love and mercy. That is my prayer for myself: to be shaped by this grace, to remember that it is not my effort, but God's love that sustains me. It's my prayer for my family, for my wife and children. And it's my prayer for you today—may you rest secure in the truth that you are loved. God's mercy is enough, God's grace is sufficient, and in him we find our hope. 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 guides us through day 150 of our journey, exploring Proverbs chapters 10-12 and Romans chapter 10. Together, we reflect on wisdom, integrity, generosity, and Paul's reminder that God's arms are always open to us. Hunter encourages us to embrace the love God freely offers, live a life rooted in gratitude, and share that thankfulness with those around us. Join us for a time of scripture, prayer, and reflection as we discover how God's love transforms our daily lives. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Open Arms I love how Paul ends his chapter where he says, regarding Israel, All day long, I have opened my arms to them. Open arms. That's the picture Paul wants to leave us with. God's arms are open, always embracing, always drawing us in, always pursuing us, all day long. And, of course, it is entirely right for us to make the application not only for Israel, but for us, for the world. God's arms are open all day long. And, of course, that is revealed in its most perfect expression in the life of our Lord Jesus—his arms spread wide open on that cross, embracing the world. For God so loved the world that he gave himself. My prayer today is that I will live each and every day of my life fully aware, fully convinced, fully embracing the God who has embraced me. 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. Oh 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. 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! Today, on Day 149 of our journey, Hunter invites us to walk together through the wisdom-filled chapters of Proverbs 7–9 and explore the deep truths of Romans 9. As we turn the pages, we'll hear wisdom's call, reflect on the contrast between choosing God's ways versus straying paths, and wrestle with the profound mysteries of God's mercy and grace. Through prayer and heartfelt reflection, Hunter reminds us that the heart of wisdom is trusting in God and embracing our identity as beloved children of a good and noble Father. Whether summer sunshine is lighting up your world or you're seeking a ray of hope, settle in and let the scriptures direct your heart today—because here, you are always loved, full stop. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wisdom has a secret, and the secret is to trust in God. We are reminded today not to exclude God and simply rely on our own understanding, but to lean on Him. The writer of Proverbs addresses us as children, calling us into a relationship with God that is like family. The wisdom of God isn't merely a set of rules or memorized dictates—it's something we experience within a loving relationship with the Creator. He invites us to know Him, to be known by Him, to enter into conversation, to walk as His sons and daughters. Anyone who trusts in Him will never be disgraced. There's much I don't understand—about God, about my own heart—but the lesson that comes again and again is that I can trust Him. His purposes toward us are always good, and He's always working for our best. Sometimes, pride and self-sufficiency creep in, and I start to think and act more like an employee than a beloved child. Entitlement, ingratitude, distance enter my heart. But the voice of Wisdom calls even louder to us in those moments, like a good Father, shepherding us away from destruction, drawing us toward life. That's why I come to the Word each day, together with you—not to pile up information, but to let the Father draw me into His life and His joy. To accept the invitation of Wisdom is to see ourselves as God sees us, His children, drawn into relationship by grace alone, not by anything we've done. And this love, this grace, it's not limited or exclusive—it's God's welcome extended to every human being, right where we are. When we trust in Him, we discover grace. We are enfolded in His kindness, made alive and joyful in His love. And so I pray this for my own soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and I pray it 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. Oh, 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. 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 each day we journey together through the pages of Scripture. In today's episode, host Hunter invites us into Proverbs chapters 4 through 6 and the powerful truth found in Romans chapter 8. We'll reflect on the call to pursue wisdom, the promise of God's transformative love, and what it means to live free from condemnation. At the heart of today's reading is a message of hope: no matter our brokenness, nothing can separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus. Join us as we spend time in prayer, gratitude, and encouragement—reminding ourselves and one another that we are deeply loved by God and invited to walk in the fullness of His resurrection life. So, grab your Bible and let's dive in as we set our hearts on wisdom, freedom, and the unbreakable love of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God does what our bodies cannot do, and God achieves what our sinful natures fail to achieve. At the beginning of Romans 8, we hear: “So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body, God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.” There are just some things that cannot be done on our own, try as we might. We and our world are too broken, and to us, it might seem beyond repair, beyond redemption, or hope. But not to God. All things are possible with God. God sent us Mister Hope himself, his Son, in a body like ours. And through Jesus, God brought us the life he shares with the Father and the Spirit—a vision for what our lives can be as we walk in his Spirit. Resurrection life is on offer to us—right here, right now. A life not just someday, but a life of hope, peace, joy, kindness, and grace. A life free. You are loved by God. He has united himself to you, just as you are, in his Son. And there is now no separation—not from your circumstance, your shame, your failings, not from anything in heaven or earth. That's the promise in Christ: there is no separating you from that love. Now, because of what Christ has done for you, you are invited to live into that love, to live in and through Christ by the Spirit. Let his life in you find fuller expression today in everything you do. 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: 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.

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 with your host, Hunter! In today's episode, Hunter invites us to join him on a journey through the wisdom-packed pages of Proverbs chapters 1–3 and Paul's powerful letter in Romans chapter 7. Together, we reflect on life-changing lessons about wisdom, discipline, and the foundation of true knowledge—the fear of the Lord. As Hunter unpacks the struggle between our desire to do good and the reality of sinful nature, he reminds us that it is through Christ's love and resurrection that we find freedom, purpose, and unity with God. The episode wraps up with heartfelt prayers for guidance, mercy, and a reminder that no matter where we are, we are deeply loved. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's discover what God has for us today! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He has done it all, and drawn us into his life. Paul, in Romans 7, speaks to the deep longing and inner conflict that so many of us feel. We want to do what is right, but we fail. We strive for goodness but stumble into the same old patterns. We reach for life, but find ourselves tangled in things that lead to frustration or shame. And often, we imagine that if we just tried harder—just obeyed the letter of the law with a little more grit—we could finally be the people God wants us to be. But Paul tells us plainly: the law itself, as good and holy as it is, cannot rescue us. It can show us God's standard, it can reveal where we've missed the mark, but it cannot break the power of sin within us or set us free. So what hope do we have? Paul's answer is clear: our hope is not in our own performance, but in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Listen to Paul's words: "You died to the power of the law when you died with Christ, and now you are united with the one who was raised from the dead." The work has already been done—not by your effort, but by Christ's life, death, and resurrection. He has defeated sin, death, and the grave. He was raised to new life and has swept us up into that life with him. This means that you are not striving for a freedom you don't yet possess. You have been freed, united with Christ, and caught up in the triune love of God. You are not defined by what you lack or by your failures, but by the life and love of the risen Jesus that is now yours—right now, in this day. So now, you are empowered to produce good fruit. Why? Because you are joined to Christ, grafted into his life. That changes everything. Out of this union comes real righteousness, real love, real peace, and healing—not things you have to conjure up through effort, but gifts that grow naturally as you remain in him. Let us live from this place of calm confidence and joyful assurance. Let us walk today as people radically loved by God, equipped by his Spirit, and invited to share his love with the world. 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 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. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

On this May 25th, join Heather as we gather together on day 145 of our journey through the scriptures. Today's episode takes us through the grandeur and wisdom of King Solomon—his unforgettable encounter with the Queen of Sheba, the height of his wealth, and ultimately, the choices that turned his heart away from God. Our readings span 1 Kings 10–11, 2 Chronicles 9, and culminate in Romans 6, where we're reminded of the freedom found in Christ and the call to live as new creations, no longer slaves to sin. Together, let's seek the illumination of the Holy Spirit, warm our hearts by the fire of God's love, and remember: you are deeply loved. Grab your Bible and join us as Heather leads us in scripture, reflection, and prayer—right here on the Daily Radio Bible. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Well, now you are free. Did you hear Paul clearly say it? In Romans 6:22, he declares, "Now you are free." Free from the power of sin. And yet, as Paul says, you have become a slave—not to sin, but to God. United to him by the work of Christ, because of what Christ has done for us, because of the Spirit of Christ that now dwells in us, empowering us, awakening us to who we truly are in Jesus. We become a new creation, a new person, a free person, no longer a slave to sin, no longer imprisoned by our past, by those inclinations and habits that once held us so tightly. We are free. This freedom is not just a concept, but a living reality that we are called to inhabit. We can learn, perhaps slowly, day by day, to live into the truth of our freedom, to exercise our freedom to be what we now are—a person rooted in God's love, a person set apart to live for him. That is the journey and the invitation of discipleship. It begins with the truth: our union with God, this new reality accomplished by Christ and now alive within us. We are free—absolutely, eternally, irrevocably free. Free to live as God has always intended for us, in him, forever. May we see ourselves as we truly are—no longer defined by our sin, but by his glory and grace. Free to love, free to serve, free to live lives marked by the fruit of the Spirit. This is the good news. This is our call and our strength for today. That's a prayer I have for my own heart, for my family, and for you. May we embrace this new life and walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for us. 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 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. 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 with your host, Hunter! On this 144th day of the year, we journey through the scriptures together, exploring the rich stories and timeless wisdom found in First Kings 9, Second Chronicles 8, Psalm 136, and Romans 5. Today's readings celebrate the faithfulness of God as seen in Solomon's achievements and heartfelt prayers, the enduring love that threads through Israel's history, and the astounding grace offered to us through Jesus Christ—the second Adam. As we reflect on where we stand—in Adam or in Christ—Hunter guides us to rest in the grace and peace that comes from being placed in Christ, reminding us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Join us for thoughtful Bible reading, a time of prayer, and encouragement for your daily walk. Let's dive into God's word and anchor our hearts in His enduring love! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Where do you stand? That's the central question that emerges as we read today's passages from Romans, reflecting on the contrast between Adam and Christ. In Adam, all humanity found its standing—marked by sin, separation, and death. But now, in Christ, everything has changed. Jesus, the second Adam, has undone what Adam did. By one act of righteousness, Christ has given us right relationship with God and new life. It's easy to forget—or maybe never fully realize—where we actually stand in God's story. Paul tells us in Romans 5:18, “Adam's one sin brought condemnation for everyone, but Christ's one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life to everyone.” And yet, so many who have called on Christ to be saved fail to see or embrace this astounding reality: we have been placed in Christ. We didn't earn this position by our own effort or strive our way into it. It's a gift. Something done for us, something to receive and rest in, not a status we have to anxiously maintain. Do you know that you stand in a place of undeserved privilege? Do you know that, by grace, you are adopted into God's family? You have been moved, not because of your own piety or performance, but by the work of Jesus. You are in him. This is where you belong. Be sure of where you stand—know it for your own soul, for your peace, and for the strength you need today. Christ has placed you in himself. You no longer stand with Adam. You stand with Jesus, the Son. Tell your soul today: you stand with Jesus. You have been brought into a place of undeserved privilege, and nothing can separate you from God's love in Christ. His faithful love endures forever. Enter into the joy, the strength, and peace of it. And as you do, allow God to share that reality with others through you. 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: 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. Oh, god of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathe 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.

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 invites us to journey deeper into the heart of God's love as we continue our year-long reading through the Bible. On this May day, we explore 2 Chronicles chapters 6 and 7—witnessing Solomon's heartfelt prayers and the awe-inspiring dedication of the temple. From there, we lift our voices with Psalm 135 in praise of God's enduring goodness and faithfulness. Finally, we reflect on Romans chapter 4, where Paul reminds us that righteousness comes by faith, not by our own works, using Abraham as our example. Hunter encourages us to see God's unconditional love in new ways, urging us to take one step at a time in trusting His goodness—even when life is uncertain. With moments of prayer and reflection woven throughout, this episode is a gentle reminder that we are loved, challenged to pass on that kindness, and invited to walk in faith today. Whether you're new to Daily Radio Bible or a longtime listener, you'll be uplifted by today's spiritual encouragement and Hunter's heartfelt prayers for you and the world. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Abraham was fully convinced of God's ability to do whatever he promised. He trusted that God loved him before and beyond anything he could have done for God. In other words, God's love comes to us first. His love is not conditioned on our belief. His love emerges from who he is, his character, his very being. It's not based on my character and who I am. The full import of God's unconditional love is seen in the life of our Lord Jesus, the one who has offered himself on behalf of the entire world. His life, his death, his resurrection declare that we are loved by God. Abraham was convinced of God's unconditional love, but that conviction didn't happen overnight. It didn't just arrive all at once without reservation. No. Abraham's conviction was learned. He was convinced as he walked with God one step after another. And these steps led him into a deeper and deeper conviction that God is good and that his love for us is faithful, even when we are unfaithful. God's love for us is not dependent on our performance. It's based and rooted in his very heart, in who he is. And who he is is seen perfectly in the face of Jesus. So let's do what Abraham did and grow in our conviction, one step at a time, one day at a time, opening our hearts to the reality of God's goodness. Perhaps daring to believe today more than you did yesterday that God's love for you is unconditioned, and it's rooted in his heart. 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: Merciful God, you have brought us through the night into this new day. We offer you our lives again, our hopes, our fears, our work, our rest. Keep us faithful in the little things and mindful of your presence in every moment. Let us not be led by anxiety or pride, but by your peace that passes all understanding through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Lord Jesus, you stretched wide your arms on the cross to draw all people to yourself. Draw the hurting, the hungry, the weary. Break down every wall of hostility, and build us into one family by your Spirit. Amen. And now, Lord, teach me to walk, not with fear but with faith. Where there is noise, let me be still. Where there is boasting, let me be quiet. Where there is suffering, let me kneel. Let me not crave recognition, but righteousness. Not applause, but communion. For in you, I have life. And in dying with you, I rise. 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.

In today's episode for May 22nd, 2025, your host Hunter invites you to join him on day 143 of our journey through the Bible. Together, we'll read from 1 Kings chapter 8, 2 Chronicles chapter 5, Psalm 99, and Romans chapter 3, exploring pivotal moments such as the dedication of Solomon's Temple and Paul's reflections on faith, righteousness, and grace. Hunter guides us through these passages, highlighting the incredible fulfillment of God's promises, the presence of God among His people, and the invitation to all—no matter where you're from—to walk in faith. We'll reflect on our deep need for a champion to fulfill righteousness, culminating in the good news that Christ alone has overcome sin, death, and the grave on our behalf. As always, the episode closes with a time of prayer, reflection, and a reminder of the transforming power of God's love. Whether you're listening from nearby or halfway across the world, we're so glad you're here. Let's continue this journey together—one day, one reading, and one prayer at a time! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is our champion, our deliverer from sin and death. As we listen to the scriptures today—from the dedication of Solomon's temple to the prayerful cries of the psalmist, and the honest reckoning in Romans—we're reminded that at the heart of the story is a deep human need: we are all lawbreakers, unable to fulfill righteousness on our own. No matter how many sacrifices are offered or prayers are spoken, all fall short, and the law serves as a mirror, showing us our inability to save ourselves. But God does not leave us in that helpless place. The gospel, as Paul teaches, is that God himself has come to meet us in our unrighteousness—not to condemn, but to save. Jesus, our champion, has stepped into the darkness, into sin and even into death, taking upon himself what we could never bear or fix. In sharing our flesh and blood, he has defeated the power of death and the evil one, offering freedom to all who were enslaved by fear and shame. Through Christ, God's promise is fulfilled. The righteousness we could never achieve is given as a gift, and the faith that unites us to him draws us into his victory and life. Now, the invitation is this: to say yes, to wake up to this new reality that is ours in Christ. We do not strive to make ourselves worthy. We rest in the finished work of Jesus, receiving his mercy, walking forward in the freedom and joy he has won, and letting his life be our own. No longer do we try to earn acceptance, but we accept his love, knowing he is our champion, the fulfillment of all God's promises. That is a 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: 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.

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 with your host, Hunter. Today marks Day 142 in our journey through the pages of scripture. In this episode, Hunter makes a special note to correct yesterday's reading mix-up, ensuring we're back on track with today's passages: 1 Kings 6, 2 Chronicles 3, Psalm 97, and Romans 1. Together, we'll revisit the detailed and awe-inspiring construction of Solomon's temple, reflect on the majesty and justice of God in the Psalms, and dive into the powerful opening of Paul's letter to the Romans, where the heart of the good news—how we are made right with God by faith alone—takes center stage. Amid gentle encouragement, prayer, and reminders of God's steadfast love, Hunter invites us not only to hear the Word, but to share it, live it, and allow it to transform our lives. So, settle in as we realign our hearts with the story of God's faithfulness, right here, together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: How do we make ourselves right before God? Is it by doing more, avoiding more, knowing more? All of the religions of the world will lead you down one or all of these paths. You must do. You must avoid. You must know. But none of these paths end up being any good at answering the question of how we're made right with God. In the end, they are not good news, and you know that from your own life. When we give ourselves to trying to do more and more in order to justify ourselves before God, we soon begin to ask, well, how much more and how good is good enough? And that question leads to all kinds of pride and rules. And the rules never satisfy, and they never end. In the end, they make us either liars or delusional. Either we're pretending to be rule keepers when we're not, or we're believing that we've kept all the rules, but we haven't. And those that are closest to us can clearly see the truth: we are not as loving and pure as we say we are. No, doing more is not the answer, but neither is avoiding, trying to avoid our obligations to God. Living for the self, our desires, appetites leads only to an empty life. We become owned by the very appetites that we thought would set us free. And if doing and avoiding are not the answer, neither is knowing. God is not a subject to be mastered. He is the master, and we will not really know him unless we let him master us. The good news that we're looking for, to be made right with God, is found from start to finish by faith, we're told here. And that faith is a gift. That faith was lived out in him—in the life of Jesus. His faith, his obedience, his compassion, his love is what ultimately saves us. He saves us from start to finish. Galatians 2:20 says, I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. And that is the good news, my friend. That is how we are made right with God. Our real life is hid with God in Christ from start to finish. Now we live by the faith of the Son of God who loved us and gave himself for us. Amen. May this be so for me, for my family, and for you. 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.

Today's readings take us inside the intricate details of Solomon's temple and palace, reflecting on the beauty and craftsmanship dedicated to honoring God. We celebrate God's steadfast love and victorious power in Psalm 98, and in Romans 2, we're challenged to examine our hearts, recognizing the need for transformation that only God's mercy and grace through Christ can bring. Hunter closes with heartfelt reflection and prayer, reminding us that true change begins with a new heart—one that is shaped by God's Spirit, not our efforts or pedigree. Join us as we press deeper into God's word and discover the power of living in His joy and love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: An unchanged heart is already judged and condemned. And if we're honest, we realize that we need a new heart. We are in need of God's mercy. The law and the conscience both tell us of this. And God's answer is to send his son, to come and meet us in our darkness. In love, he comes into the world, into the far country in pursuit of you. He comes for us. He comes for all of humanity. He comes on our behalf that he might taste death for all. But in his dying, he defeats death and the darkness and the grave, and he drags us with him out the other side into resurrection life. When we are drawn into God's life, we are born again, given a new heart that can trust and walk in relationship with God and be truly changed. This is the evidence that we are the true children of God. That relationship with God is based not on my piety or my pedigree, but on God's grace revealed to us in the person and the work of Christ himself. God has given us the answer to our need for a new heart, and it's his son. Let us live in the power of Christ, our Lord, the Son of God. Abiding in him, in his word, in his joy, and in his life. 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: 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.

In today's episode, host Hunter invites us on day 139 of our journey through the Scriptures. We'll explore the wisdom and leadership of King Solomon as we read through 1 Kings chapters 4 and 5, 2 Chronicles chapter 2, and Psalm 101, before finishing with encouragement from 2 Thessalonians chapter 3. Hunter reflects on the connection between experiencing God's love and living a life of service, generosity, and hope, and encourages us to let God's joy and love guide us through each day. There's also a heartfelt time of prayer, a reminder of the unity we share in Christ, and a special shoutout to the podcast's supporters. Whether you're walking outside enjoying the spring air or finding a quiet moment to reflect, this episode is here to remind you that you are truly loved. Let's dive in together! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Love leads to service and generosity. When we fail to experience the love of God, we grow despondent. We become idle. We do not serve, and we are not generous. Working, serving, giving—they all become hard to do. We want to take what we can rather than give what we have. And yet, we can't give what we don't have. That's why we must experience God's love if we are to show love. We must be filled and grow in our understanding and expression of his love if we are to give that love to others. So Paul prays for us here in verse five. He says, “May the Lord lead your hearts into full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.” Do you know that you are loved? Sometimes it's hard to remember that we are. It takes patient endurance to hold firmly to that truth so that, in the end, it is deeply rooted in your very soul. And we must do this. God's love is exactly what emerges from the gospel. When we look and see the face of Jesus, we see what he has done. And so each and every day, we open our hearts to the Spirit's working in our lives, and we come to the word of God day after day to be reminded of who he is, what he has done, and who we have become in him. Through his presence in us, we begin to be led into a full understanding and expression of the love of God. We patiently endure when it seems like the heavens are silent. More and more we learn that this walk with Christ is a long obedience in the same direction. He is with us, and we can grow and experience his love. Out of this will come a life of service, generosity, joyfulness, and hope. So let us grow into a fuller understanding of his love. Amen. 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.

On today's episode, host Hunter steps in for Heather, who's under the weather, to lead us through day 139 of our journey in the Scriptures. Together, we'll explore the story of Solomon's request for wisdom in 1 Kings 3 and 2 Chronicles 1, reflect on God's faithfulness (and Israel's forgetfulness) in Psalm 78, and receive Paul's encouragement to the Thessalonians in 2 Thessalonians 2—not to be shaken or fooled, but to stand firm in the truth and grace of Christ. Hunter also offers heartfelt prayers and practical encouragement to stay grounded in God's love, even when life gets overwhelming. Let's dive deep into the Word and discover comfort, wisdom, and hope for today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Don't Be Shaken, Don't Be Fooled There is so much in life that can shake us—circumstances that feel out of control, relationships that wound and break, financial strains, physical pain, anxieties that mount and press on us till we're overwhelmed. All these things can leave us feeling uncertain, destabilized, and even in despair. In these moments, God can feel distant, and hope can seem just out of reach. But into the midst of our fears and confusion, we hear Paul's pastoral, fatherly voice to the church in Thessalonica: “Don't be shaken. Don't be fooled.” The early church struggled too. There were loud voices swirling; teachers with anxious warnings and convincing bravado who wanted the Thessalonian believers to think they were missing out, not doing enough, believing the wrong things, or soon to be left behind. How easy it is, then and now, to listen to those voices—to think that our relationship with God rests on some extra thing we must do, some spiritual secret we have to attain, or a hidden requirement we might have missed. But Paul cuts through all the noise. He reminds us that it is God who chooses us, God who acts first, God who carries out salvation. As he says, “Salvation came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth.” We don't need to carry the burden of saving ourselves or climb higher to earn our place with God. Paul insists the good news is what God has done for us—and we simply receive it. We don't have to go out looking, chasing after some elusive experience. We don't have to strive and strain, wondering if we've done enough. Someone has already come looking for us. Someone has entered into our wilderness—into all our confusion and fear, all our striving and exhaustion—and offered us life. Because of what Christ has done, we now share in his glory, not by our own effort, but by his grace. So, don't be shaken. Don't be fooled. Instead, stand firm. Keep a strong grip on what is true—the teaching that God has drawn you into his life, that you are reconciled, you are loved, and you are securely held. Rest in the knowledge that he's the one who has taken hold of you, and he won't let you go. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May we all stand firm in his love today. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Prayer 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 breathe 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.

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 fresh episode of the Daily Radio Bible! Today, host Hunter guides us through a significant turning point in the biblical narrative as we journey through 1 Kings 2, 1 Chronicles 29, Psalm 95, and 2 Thessalonians 1. In this episode, we witness King David's final charges to Solomon, Solomon's rise to a firmly established throne, and the outpouring of resources and devotion as preparations are made for the temple of God. We reflect on the importance of faith—you'll hear how our faith prompts us to act, but it is ultimately God's power that accomplishes all things in and through us. Hunter closes with heartfelt prayers, inviting us to participate in God's work today by leaning into His presence and peace. Settle in for encouragement, scriptural insight, and a reminder that you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Faith prompts, but it is the Son who accomplishes. That's the central theme woven through our readings today, and it's at the heart of what Paul reminds us in Second Thessalonians. We see it played out in the story of David and Solomon—a father prompted by faith to desire the building of a temple for the Lord, but it was not David's power that accomplished it. It would be done through his son, Solomon. God's promise and provision would come, not by David's might, but by the unfolding of God's wisdom and timing through the next generation. In the same way, Paul prays for the church, asking God to give us the power to accomplish all the good things our faith prompts us to do. Our lives as followers of Jesus are marked by this rhythm: faith stirs us with vision, hope, and the desire to walk in God's ways, but it is Christ in us—his power, his wisdom, his strength—that brings it to fulfillment. We participate, but it's his life that empowers, guides, and accomplishes all that truly matters and lasts. This is a freeing truth. Our call is not to strive in our own strength or to anxiously try to measure up. Instead, we learn to abide, to trust, to surrender, knowing that the one who calls us is faithful and he will do it. The Son draws us into his life, and as we walk with him—partnering with his Spirit—the work we are given to do takes on new meaning. Our hearts are formed not by religious performance, but by the mystery of Christ alive in us. What faith prompts, the Son supplies the power to complete. Let's live today attentive to his promptings, but also deeply at rest, knowing the outcome is in his hands. Wherever God calls us—acts of mercy, forgiveness, generosity, courage—it is his life and power that make it possible. May we participate fully, but rest securely in the sufficiency of Christ. That is the prayer I have for my own soul. That is 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 Prayer  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. 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 journey together through the scriptures, opening our hearts to God's Word and presence. In today's episode for May 16th, 2025, your host Hunter guides us through a powerful lineup of readings: 1 Kings 1, 1 Chronicles 28, Psalm 91, and 1 Thessalonians 5, all from the New Living Translation. We witness the dramatic transition of power in Israel as Adonijah attempts to seize the throne, only for God's faithful plans to prevail and Solomon to be anointed king. David gives his son an impassioned charge to know and serve God wholeheartedly, entrusting him with the plans for the temple. Psalm 91 offers words of refuge and assurance in God's protection, while 1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us to live as children of light—encouraging one another, remaining thankful, and holding fast to hope as we await the Lord's return. Hunter offers heartfelt reflections on surrendering to God's rightful authority in our lives, urging us to trust in God's goodness and faithfulness—even when circumstances seem uncertain. The episode closes with thoughtful prayers, the Lord's Prayer, and an encouraging reminder that you are loved. Whether you're a regular listener or joining for the first time, settle in and let this episode ground your day in faith, hope, and love. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Sometimes we fail to live up to our name. Adonijah means "the Lord is my God." Yet, Adonijah was not letting God be God in his life. No. Adonijah was betraying the very meaning of his name. He was attempting to crown himself as the sovereign. He let his flesh and pride put himself forward as the king, and he was persuasive in this. He convinced military commanders, politicians, and even some of his own family to go along with him. But God is faithful even when we are unfaithful. God is going to have the final word, even when it seems that the king is absent or out of commission—as Adonijah may have thought about his father, King David. But David was still king. And like David, God will have the final word. Even though he may seem absent or out of commission, rest assured, there is a King. It's not us, and he will have the final say. The one on the throne is far greater than Adonijah, David, or our flesh. It's our Lord Jesus, and he is not absent. No. He is with you today. So let's surrender to him. Let's participate with him and his kingdom and his purposes for our lives, because he has the final word. He rules and is over all, and he is good. May God help us to willfully and joyfully walk with him, serve him, and love him. 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: Merciful God, you have brought us through the night into this new day. We offer you our lives again, our hopes, our fears, our work, our rest. Keep us faithful in the little things and mindful of your presence in every moment. Let us not be led by anxiety or pride, but by your peace that passes all understanding through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Lord Jesus, you stretched wide your arms on the cross to draw all people to yourself. Draw the hurting, the hungry, the weary. Break down every wall of hostility, and build us into one family by your Spirit. Amen. And now, Lord, teach me to walk, not with fear, but with faith. Where there is noise, let me be still. Where there is boasting, let me be quiet. Where there is suffering, let me kneel. Let me not crave recognition, but righteousness. Not applause, but communion. For in you, I have life. And in dying with you, I rise. 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 Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us to journey through day 135 of our year-long Bible reading adventure. We'll be exploring 1 Chronicles chapters 25 to 27, discovering the organization of temple musicians, gatekeepers, and King David's army officers. Then, we'll dive into 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, where Paul encourages believers to live holy, loving, and hope-filled lives—all centered on the profound promise of resurrection and Christ's glorious return. Hunter reflects on the Greek word “apantēsis” used by Paul, painting a powerful picture of believers joyfully meeting Jesus, much like welcoming an honored guest into a celebration. Through prayer and thoughtful meditation, this episode is designed to inspire your heart, reassure your faith, and remind you that you are dearly loved. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's spend some meaningful time together in God's Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: A sure and solid hope. Paul, in his letter to the Thessalonians, wants to fill the believers with hope—a hope anchored in the resurrection of Jesus. The central message of today's passage isn't about predicting timelines or worrying about being left behind. Instead, it's about comfort, encouragement, and the surety of belonging with Christ, both now and forevermore. Paul uses the word “apantēsis”—a term that paints a picture richer than mere meeting. It's the image of a people who go out to greet someone they've been longing for, and then, together, process with him into his place of honor, into the celebration, into the heart of the community. This isn't about escape, but about joyful welcome. Just as villagers would run out to greet guests, as Hunter shares from his own experiences in India, so there will come a day when the faithful who have died and those still living will join together in greeting Christ. There is no reversal, no turning away, only forward movement—together, with our King. Paul's words pastorally reassure the anxious hearts of his day—and ours. Grief isn't the last word. Neither confusion nor uncertainty nor death itself can swallow up the hope Christ has given us. The resurrection is God's great declaration that there are no forgotten ones. No one is left behind in his kingdom plan. Those that have gone before, and we who remain, will all share in the joy of Christ's return and his reign—on earth as it is in heaven. This hope is sure and solid. As Christ was raised, so too are we raised to new life in him—not only in the age to come, but even now, as we walk as his people. We have a King who leads us home, a King who makes us his own, a King whose coming fills all our waiting with joy. So today, let's encourage one another with these words. Let's rest in this deep, resurrection hope. Let's live as people who know they belong to Christ—and will process into his presence with gladness when that day comes. That's a prayer I have for my soul, for my family, for the whole church, 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.

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 walks with us through day 135 of our journey in the scriptures, exploring 1 Chronicles chapters 22–24 and 1 Thessalonians 3. Join Hunter as he reflects on David's preparations for the Temple, the organization of worship, and the encouragement Paul gives to the Thessalonian church. We'll consider what it means for God to fill the gaps in our lives—those places that feel unfinished or empty—and how Christ is the one who brings fullness where we need it most. Along with our scripture readings, you're invited into heartfelt prayer and thoughtful reflection, all wrapped in daily encouragement. Whether you're new to the Bible or have been reading for years, there's something here for you as we seek to walk slowly in God's presence and let His love overflow. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Christ fills the gaps. That's what Paul says in verse 10: “Night and day, we pray earnestly for you, asking God to let us see you again to fill the gaps in your faith.” This is the walk of discipleship: to recognize that God has filled what was absent and lacking. So much of our life gets lost in the gaps, lost in the lie of God's absence, and God's separation—the lie that creates all kinds of problems, all kinds of divisions, addictions, and neuroses. But our discipleship is about God filling us in those places—places we thought would be forever empty. The gaps, those unfinished areas in our life, can be filled. But filling is a process, and faith is a walk. And the destination is Him—the one who fills all things with Himself. There's a day coming up on the church calendar called the Day of Ascension, when we remember that Jesus ascended in His resurrected human body to sit at the side of His Father, having accomplished and created for us our completed life, our full life in Him. Today, we can walk with Him and allow the Spirit to open our eyes even more to the fullness that is ours in Christ. Christ fills the gaps, and He will fill all things with Himself. And the prayer of my heart is that I will begin to live into the reality of what is true about God and about myself in Christ. That's a 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 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.

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 takes us through a pivotal moment in the scriptures—from David's controversial census in 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21 to a heartfelt Psalm of thanksgiving, and Paul's encouraging message in 1 Thessalonians 2. As we navigate the sometimes tricky waters of biblical contradictions and the stories that shape our faith, Hunter reminds us that the Bible's deeper purpose isn't just to serve as a reference book, but to invite us into relationship with the God of love and mercy. Together, we'll explore how these ancient accounts challenge, inform, and ultimately root us more deeply in God's goodness. Plus, we'll close with a time of prayer, drawing strength for the day ahead and remembering the life-changing truth: you are dearly loved by God. Let's dive in and continue our journey through the Bible, one day at a time. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The Bible is not a divine reference book. In today's reading from 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles, we encounter a moment that many readers might find troubling: two different accounts of the same story, each assigning the cause for David's census in a different way. In one, it is the Lord who incites David to take the census; in the other, it is Satan. This is a clear contradiction, and it might prompt us to question the authority or reliability of the Bible. But instead of fearing these inconsistencies or trying to explain them away, we are invited to read the Bible on its own terms. The authority of Scripture does not come from its factual consistency or its ability to function as some sort of flawless encyclopedia. Instead, the power and authority of the Bible flow from its ability to point us to the living God, who is love. Both versions of this story ultimately direct us toward the character of God—a God who is merciful in the end, whose purposes are rooted in love and relationship rather than in legalistic precision. We aren't called to follow a chain of perfectly linked facts; we are called into a story, a history, and a relationship. God's people, throughout the ages, have recognized the Bible's authority because its words and its stories reveal who God is and invite us to share in his life. Even when confronted with differences, the unified message is this: Christ is our authority, and through the Scriptures, we are drawn deeper into his story of love. So do not be afraid when you find the Bible's rough edges. These don't disqualify its witness—they deepen the story and invite us to wrestle honestly with God and with each other. Let yourself be drawn into the larger point: that God is the source of life, that he is merciful, and that he longs for us to be shaped by his love. May we allow the Holy Spirit each day to mold us, to grow us, to help us become more like Jesus. That's my prayer for my own soul. That's my prayer for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's my prayer 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. Oh, 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.

In this episode, you will explore 10 distinct forms of narcissistic manipulation tactics and the true agenda of a narcissist with whom you must engage, communicate, parent, and resolve issues. Those who display narcissistic traits often do not recognize themselves as narcissists. Instead, they tend to hold on to their grand illusions of themselves or see themselves as the victims of others. When they are up, it is because they believe others see them as the best, smartest, most beautiful, creative or talented. When they are down, that is because they feel victimized by evidence that someone, maybe you, no longer feed into their grand illusions of themselves. Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach, Award winning author, meditation teacher, course creator, and podcast host, is on a mission to awaken those who live below the veil of consciousness, and who are in toxic, enmeshed, codependent, subjugating relationships with those who are either narcissists, or who have high narcissistic traits. As an adult daughter of narcissistic and codependent parents, and as someone who escaped the undertow of a toxic marriage herself, she understands that the first step in healing from a narcissistic relationship is recognizing the signs that you are actually in a narcissistic relationship.  Ready to begin your healing journey?  Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group

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 to journey through day 133 of our adventure in the Scriptures. We dive into the dramatic and moving stories of 2 Samuel chapters 21–23, witnessing the final days of King David, including the resolution of a long-standing famine, the tales of his mighty warriors, and David's heartfelt songs of praise to God. We also begin a new journey in the New Testament with 1 Thessalonians chapter 1, where Paul's words challenge and inspire us to see others through the lens of God's love. Hunter reflects on how an encounter with Jesus can transform our hearts and perspectives, encouraging us to embrace a love that reaches beyond our own borders and communities. Closing with thoughtful prayer and the Lord's Prayer, this episode is both a deep dive into Scripture and a gentle invitation to let God's joy and love shape our day. Stay tuned for encouragement, insight, and a reminder that you are truly loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God's love changes everything—including how we see others. Here in 1 Thessalonians 1, Paul makes a remarkable declaration. He looks at this young, Gentile church in Thessalonica—people so different from him, people who didn't keep kosher or follow all the right traditions—and he says with conviction: “We know, dear brothers and sisters, that God loves you and has chosen you to be his own people.” For someone like Paul, who had grown up believing gentiles were outside the fold, excluded from God's love and promises, this was a radical shift. What happened? Paul had encountered Jesus. And when you meet Jesus, you begin to see people the way God sees them. That's what Jesus does: he changes how we see and love others. He broadens the boundaries of our hearts. Our natural tendency is to draw circles around those who look like us, those who think or act or believe like us. But when we encounter Christ, our eyes open to just how big God's love really is. Suddenly, we see neighbors, strangers, even those we once called outsiders, as loved and chosen—just as we are. Paul says, “now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere.” Transformation ignites a ripple effect. The Thessalonians, having received and experienced this all-inclusive love, became living messengers, carrying God's welcome everywhere they went. They became an example of what God's love can do in a community—and for the world. Let's make that our prayer and our posture: that the boundaries of God's love would expand in our own hearts, and that our encounter with Christ would cause us to see all people as loved and chosen. Let the word of the Lord ring out from us—our families, our churches, our very lives—declaring that God's invitation is for everyone. May every day be a day when our vision is shaped not by old ways of seeing, by fear or favoritism, but by the revolutionary grace that Jesus brings. That's a prayer I have for my own soul, for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son, and that's a 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. 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.

In today's episode, “May 11th, 2025 Heather,” Heather guides us through day 131 of our journey through the scriptures, inviting listeners from around the world to gather around the warmth of God's love. Together, we read from 2 Samuel 19-20, Psalm 55, and conclude with Matthew 28, reflecting on King David's tumultuous return to power, a psalmist's cry for help, and the earth-shaking hope of Jesus' resurrection. With Mother's Day as a backdrop, Heather shares personal reflections on grief, hope, and the mystery of resurrection, drawing inspiration from her own family's recent loss. She beautifully connects the promise of transformation found in scripture with the journey of saying goodbye to loved ones, and invites us to rest in the hope of restoration and new life. The episode closes with powerful prayers for peace, guidance, and unity, as well as the encouragement to carry God's love into the world. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's discover together the sustaining love and hope found in God's story—and remember: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Resurrection and the Mystery of Transformation I don't think I have ever considered the resurrection of Jesus and Mother's Day at the same time. But as we celebrate Mother's Day today, there are many of us whose mothers are no longer with us. Hunter and I, along with many of our family, gathered around my mother's grave site this last weekend as we laid her ashes to rest alongside my dad's, his brothers, and their parents. My mom has been enveloped into the great mystery, the true home that we will only discover when we finally shed this earthly husk and are transformed. But transformed into what? Even Paul struggled to understand or know it. In his attempts to describe it, he used the example of the everyday seed, a tiny dry brown microcosm of life, which only blooms in full beauty when it has been nestled into the dark soil. There, through water, sun, and light, it finally emerges into a new life-giving plant, looking nothing like the thing it started as. And in its transformation, it takes its unique place in an ongoing participation of life. We are part of this great mystery, which those who have gone before us are discovering, connected through the sustaining life of our loving creator. For now, we experience the heat of the sun, the droughts, the weeds that seem to threaten, even as we learn to cast off our dry husk, yearning to be fully fruitful, fully alive. Ours is to trust in the process of change, resting in the hope of transformation and restoration. We are the small dry seed, the life of the creator deep within us, only fully transformed as we settle into the earthy soil, trusting in the great hope that resurrection will come. Buried in brokenness, raised in glory; buried in weakness, raised in strength. That's a hope and a mystery I hold for my own soul, for my family, and for all who hear these words today. May we live in the light of resurrection, trusting the God who brings life from the dust, and in His promise that we, too, will be made new. 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
