Knowing why we're depressed doesn't immediately remove the pain of depression. For many, depression can linger far longer than we expect it to, and certainly much longer than we'd prefer. So as we're putting off the sin that has led to things like hopelessness, despair, or fear... what do we do about those very real feelings that may linger? This episode begins a short "mini series" that will discuss a few ways we can respond to our depression in a way that is biblically faithful, true, and Christ-oriented. For starters... let's discuss how looking at rocks can help.

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! In today's episode, host Hunter walks with us through day 295 of our journey in Scripture. We'll be diving into Job chapters 9 and 10, exploring Job's honest wrestling with suffering and God's justice, and then traveling to the book of Acts, chapters 13 and 14, where Barnabas and Paul boldly proclaim the life-changing message of Christ's grace—a message that meets both miraculous acceptance and real resistance. Hunter encourages us to draw courage from the grace that meets us where we are, reminding us that in a “grace-resistant world,” it's only through Christ's love that our lives are transformed. The episode is filled with heartfelt prayers, reflections on what it means to belong to God's family, and an invitation to keep moving forward together, one step at a time, opening our hearts to the living Word. So take a moment, settle in, and let God's Word direct your heart today. You're loved, you're invited, and you're not alone on this journey. Let's get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Living in Grace in a Grace-Resistant World. The beautiful message brought by Barnabas and Paul is God's grace—for all people, Jew and Gentile alike. All are invited, all are included, into the triune life of God. What does that look like in real life? This grace isn't earned by obedience to the law, personal piety, or virtue. It comes simply through Christ and what He has done. Jesus, God's Messiah, has offered Himself on the cross as humanity's answer—an answer to sin and death, an answer that gives us power to live this life today. The Holy Spirit fills us and empowers us. This message of grace has real, transformative power. It has the power to change your life, my life, every human life. But as powerful and good and gracious as this message is, it meets resistance. Other powers, other messages, seek to steer our lives. Often, we find ourselves colluding with those lesser powers, trying to survive in this broken world. But when we do, we survive as slaves—not as sons and daughters. True freedom comes only when we embrace grace, when we truly step into the life Christ offers. In Him, we're set free. Our eyes are opened—to see Him and to know who we are in Him. We're given power, by His Spirit, to live this life now in Him. But don't be fooled; the world resists grace. Paul and Barnabas remind the believers in Acts 14:22, “We must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God.” This is a grace-resistant world. But it's only grace—the grace of Christ—that brings true life and transformation. It's only Him. Are you facing resistance? Don't be surprised. Draw courage from the fact that grace has come to you, has found you, has included you. Christ has offered His life for you. So rejoice now! Let this powerful message of Christ's grace meet you, comfort you, and confront every resistant place in your heart, so He can transform you completely, by His love. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have 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: 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

It's not surprising that those suffering from chronic pain are more likely to experience depression and thoughts of suicide. As Christians, how are we supposed to think about these things? Should we understand depression differently than the world does? Does the Bible offer any hope, or are we merely victims of biology?  This episode is an honest, even painful, look at how I've walked through depression and suicidal thoughts in my life, and how God's word can guide us into not only understanding why we experience these things, but what we can do about them.

"Your attitude matters; control what you can control." "Surfing the wave means being flexible." "The truth is always best."   Episode summary | In this episode of ROG Return on Generosity, host Shannon Cassidy interviews Trish Scanlon, a seasoned branded entertainment executive. Trish shares her journey from Pittsburgh to leading creative teams for major media brands. The conversation delves into the importance of political savvy, leading with grace and kindness, and embracing creativity in every role. Trish emphasizes the power of attitude in leadership, the need to work smarter, and the value of honesty. She also discusses the significance of curiosity and teamwork in achieving creative success, all while fostering a generous and collaborative culture.   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Trish Scanlon emphasizes that everyone is creative, regardless of their role. Political savvy is about awareness and navigating relationships effectively. Leading with grace and kindness is essential in uncomfortable situations. Creativity should be embraced by all team members, not just those in creative roles. Your attitude at work can significantly influence the team's morale and productivity. Working smarter, not harder, is a key philosophy for effective leadership.

About This Episode Why does a sovereign God tell us to pray? He knows what we need, does what He pleases, and can't be changed by human manipulation. If we're honest, sometimes it can seem like prayer is pointless, and that makes it even more difficult to "pray without ceasing." In this episode, I explore why prayer isn't our way of changing God's will, but His way of changing ours.  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro and the "problem" of prayer 7:25 Understanding whom we pray to 10:22 3 things prayer accomplishes in Christians 11:03 #1 Prayer acknowledges that God is God 12:33 #2 Prayer demonstrates our trust in God being God 20:11 #3 Prayer asks God to act as God 54:19 Reminder why my content isn't short! 54:48 Summarizing this discussion Book mentioned: "Sovereignty of God" by AW Pink Scripture Used: Matthew 6:8b Psalm 115:3 1 John 5:14-15 James 4:1-3 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 Psalm 50:12-15 Jeremiah 29:11-14 Romans 8:28-29 1 Thessalonians 4:3 Support My Work  • Monthly Support: https://www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith  • One-Time Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/OnwardintheFaith | https://account.venmo.com/u/Ray-Burns-6 Check Out My Devotionals on Amazon (affiliate links):  • 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://amzn.to/4kGDDgE  • 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://amzn.to/41GuqfK Hashtags #Christianity #Theology #Faith #Pain #Suffering #ChronicPain Music Credits  • YouTube Outro Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay  • Podcast Outro Music by LesFM from Pixabay

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through day 169 of our year-long journey through the Scriptures. We begin with the dramatic stories of First Kings 20-21, witnessing the confrontations between King Ahab, Ben-Hadad, and the tragic story of Naboth's vineyard. We continue into Second Chronicles 17, where King Jehoshaphat's faithfulness brings strength and blessing to Judah. Our reading concludes in Colossians 3, with the Apostle Paul's powerful reminder to embrace our new life in Christ and to clothe ourselves with love, forgiveness, and gratitude. Hunter brings these ancient texts to life, reflecting on God's impartial love, the futility of viewing our relationship with Him as transactional, and the good news that we are all included and deeply loved. Join us as we listen, pray, and let the truth of God's Word shape our hearts today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God has no favorites. I have three daughters and there have been times in life when people have asked me, Hunter, who's your favorite? And I have to chuckle when I hear that because my mind doesn't even go there. I don't think in terms of one daughter being favored over another because they're all my kids. They're my girls. I love them dearly. I have no favorites. And we're told that God has no favorites. We are all his children. It doesn't matter whether we're Abigail, Magdalene, or Eden Hunter, or Heather, or you, or whoever. It doesn't matter. Whether we are Jew or Gentile, circumcised, uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave or free, it doesn't matter. Christ is all that matters. He is the favored one. And we—our lives—are hidden in his. That's what Paul says. Our real life is hidden with God in Christ, the favored one. He has no favorites because we're all favored. We're all loved. We've been included. God has reconciled the whole world to himself. Paul says he has no favorites because we are all loved by him. And that, my friend, is such good news. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see who I am in Christ, favored and loved. And that's a prayer that I have for my family, too—for my daughters, for my wife, and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory Forever and ever. Amen.

Send us a textHave you ever beaten yourself up after failing, believing harsh self-criticism would lead to positive change? The "Look and Learn" tool is meant for mind renewal, yet many have turned it into another form of self-punishment. Instead of viewing failure through a lens of shame, Scripture invites us to embrace God's grace. Romans 8:1 reminds us there is no condemnation for those in Christ, and Psalm 103:12 assures us that our transgressions are removed as far as the east is from the west. God isn't standing at a distance in disappointment—He draws near with compassion and restoration.When practiced as intended, Look and Learn becomes grace in motion, strengthening intimacy with God rather than pushing Him away. It shifts our perspective from self-rejection to redemption, helping us replace lies with life-giving truth. Every failure becomes a seed for growth, ensuring nothing is wasted in God's economy. Instead of running to condemnation, run to grace. Ask what God wants to reveal, and let this powerful tool guide you into freedom, intimacy, and transformation.
