Isle Royale National Park is the Great Lakes Mecca for backpackers. This archipelago of islands is also one of our most remote National Parks so preparing for a visit takes extra planning. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Chris Amidon, Supervisory Park Ranger for Interpretation and Visitor Services. He not only has tips for first-timers, but also has details on some new procedures, particularly when it comes to food storage.Key Takeaways:Planning your experience shapes everything: “The first thing we ask is, what type of experience are you looking to have?” From backpacking and boating to lodge stays, your approach determines your transportation and gear.Getting to the island is part of the journey: “Part of the Isle Royale experience is the transportation to the island. It's that extra step that most parks don't have.”Food storage regulations have changed:Starting in 2025, visitors are required to use approved food storage containers due to wildlife activity near camps and harbors.Wildlife sightings are rare but magical:“Encountering a moose is a really magical moment and I remember backpacking a trip I did with my daughter... those are the types of experiences that Isle Royale offer just by putting yourself in this remote island setting.”Most of Isle Royale is federally designated wilderness:99% of the park is wilderness, meaning motorized equipment is limited—adding to both its preservation and the physical demands of upkeep.The Artist-in-Residence program reveals new perspectives:“The Artist-in-Residence Program… that's kind of my, I would say, my soft spot.” From Shakespearean sonnets to ceramic bark impressions, Chris helps curate a mix of art forms that deepen understanding of the island.Visitation may be low, but the planning is intense:Only about 20,000 people visit Isle Royale each year—and most come during just three months—putting pressure on resources and requiring detailed planning.Resources:Isle Royale National Park – Plan your visithttps://www.nps.gov/isro/index.htmRanger III Ferry & Seaplane Info –https://www.nps.gov/isro/planyourvisit/directions.htmIsle Royale Artist-in-Residence Program –https://www.nps.gov/isro/getinvolved/artist-in-residence.htmConnect With Us:Lake Superior Podcast Page – https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-parks-of-lake-superior-foundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability. Learn more: https://cafeimports.comNational Parks of Lake Superior Foundation – Donate to protect Lake Superior's five national parks: https://nplsf.org/donateBe sure to tune in to this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast to hear Chris Amidon share essential guidance for visitors, the inside story on Artist-in-Residence selections, and the quiet power of a sunrise over Feltman Lake.

Come and join the conversation with the gorgeous Nadia Alibhai!An Osteopath for 23 years, Director of Back2Wellbeing, Columnist for HELLO! Magazine, and regular expert on ITV's This Morning, Nadia is the go to for celebrities and private clients alike. Helping people to look after themselves and make sure they are functioning at their best, Nadia cites wellness as her forte. The passion she has for her work absolutely radiates from her as we chat!We delve into her journey, which has been far from straightforward, she has encountered multiple challenges along the way both personally and professionally. We start at the beginning, being fresh out of graduating and full of enthusiasm ready to make her mark on the industry, Nadia was met with resistance as she tried to secure herself a role. Encountering people that remarked that she "didn't look like an Osteopath", she was too petite and even comments that she belonged more in the fashion industry, it took a toll on her confidence and left her deflated. But Nadia tells me that instead of waiting around for a role, she took matters into her own hands and make it for herself, and what happened next was nothing short of entrepreneurial grit and determination! Taking me on a journey into her 20's and having to navigate some difficult personal circumstances, she picked herself up, dusted herself down and pivoted in a slightly different direction. Working on sets like Downtown Abbey and theatre productions, Nadia started to notice how intrigued people were about the power of Osteopathy, and found herself fully booked once again!In true female founder spirit, Nadia moved to Canada for a year, and continued to reach more clients with the most incredible feedback. Coming back to London, Nadia was now a mother and wife and decided she wanted to revisit her dream with Back2Wellbeing and set about a fresh launch for the business. Passionate about creating a team of practitioners offering the very best in complete wellbeing, Nadia worked her magic and hit the ground running!Nadia and I chat about her practice, how our bodies hold trauma, the manifestation into physical symptoms, and tells me all about the common issues that she sees with her clients. Such fascinating insights into the correlation between things we are holding within us and the way it makes us feel physically was honestly such a revelation! She shares some amazing tips that people can try at home, and the small things we can do to introduce new habits into our day to improve our wellbeing. Nadia openly shares her journey of burnout, not just the physical symptoms she experienced, but the toll that it took on her mental health too. We share our stories, chat about the red flags to look out for, and how we can be aware of the early signs within ourselves before overwhelm takes hold. We delve into the pressure that is on our shoulders as female founders to feel like we are "on it" all the time and the crucial need for us to make time for ourselves to rest and reset. We talk about the battle of our internal thoughts, the guilt that we feel as women, those lightbulb moments that come along when we know things need to change, and taking back control over our lives.Such an insightful and beautifully honest episode, and full of topics that will resonate with so many of us.Thankyou Nadia, you are a gorgeous human inside and out, a true definition of Yes SHE Can!To find out more about Nadia and her work, visit her website here: https://www.nadiatheosteopath.com/ and you can also connect with her on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nadiatheosteopath/ 

6/15/25 Encountering Jesus (Week 4) Featuring Pastor Brian Flood www.fccnp.org Helping People Find and Follow Jesus!

There is a force standing between you and your highest spiritual potential right now. It has been there your entire life, watching, waiting, measuring your every spiritual step. Most people never see it. Those who do either turn back in fear... or they transform completely. Right now, as you're watching this, that force is aware that you're here. It knows you're seeking something deeper. And it's preparing to reveal itself to you. By the end of this video, you will have encountered something that has been watching you your entire spiritual journey. Something that knows you better than you know yourself. Something that holds the key to every spiritual breakthrough you've ever sought, and every one you haven't even dared to dream of yet. This is initiation. Real initiation. The kind that changes you at the level of your soul.

True peace isn't found in escaping chaos, It's found in encountering Jesus. Throughout Scripture, those in the middle of storms, shame, and suffering found perfect peace, not by solving their problems, but by seeing Him.Isaiah 9:6 – “Prince of Peace”John 14:27 – “My peace I give you… not as the world gives.”Philippians 4:7 – “Peace of God… will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.Colossians 3:15 – “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.”Control and Fear keeps us from peace Contact us at: thewavecolumbus@gmail.com, or daniel@thewavecolumbus.com or www.thewavecolumbus.com

Today, we have a powerful and deeply honest conversation with Naeem Fazal, author of "Tomorrow Needs You." Naeem grew up in Kuwait in a Pakistani Muslim family, survived the Gulf War, and eventually found himself in the U.S. grappling with questions of identity, fear, and faith. What followed was a series of raw, spiritual encounters that opened his heart to Jesus in ways he never expected. In our conversation, we talk about what it means to find hope when everything feels lost. Naeem shares how the beauty of Jesus began to reshape his story, and why perfect love, not just faith, is what truly drives out fear. We explore the idea that hope isn't something we chase after, but something the Holy Spirit grows within us. This conversation is a reminder that beauty matters, that creating something - even something small - can pull us into the presence of God, and that tomorrow does, in fact, need you. Join us as we create something beautiful. Naeem Fazal, a Pakistani, was born and raised in Kuwait. He grew up in a Muslim family, was a teenager in the midst of the Gulf War, and came to the United States in 1992. He had a supernatural experience with Christ that changed the course of his life. He is the author of Ex-Muslim and Tomorrow Needs You, and the founding pastor of Mosaic Church in Charlotte, NC. Naeem and his wife Ashley have two amazing children and unfortunately two cats.Naeem's Book:Tomorrow Needs YouNaeem's Recommendations:Culture CareLust for LifeThe War of ArtSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Emotions in Yiddish Ghetto Diaries: Encountering Persecutors and Questioning Humanity (Routledge, 2024) uses an empathic reading of Yiddish diarists' feelings, evaluations, and assessments about persecutors in the Warsaw, Lodz, and Vilna ghettos to present an emotional history of persecution in the Nazi ghettos. It re-centers the daily experiences of psychological and physical violence that made up ghetto life and that ultimately led victims to use their diaries as a place of agency to question and attempt to maintain their own beliefs in pre-war Jewish and Enlightenment ethics and morality. Holocaust scholars and students, as well as people interested in personal narratives, interpersonal relations, and the problem of dehumanization during the Holocaust will find this study particularly thought-provoking. Essentially, this book highlights the benefits of reading with empathy and paying attention to emotions for understanding the experiences of people in the past, especially those facing tragedy and trauma.

How do you plan a smooth and memorable trip across France using trains, rental cars, and buses? In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, titled Navigating France by Train, Car, and Bus, host Annie Sargent chats with Stephen Nicholson about his 24-day journey through France. Stephen and his wife combined different types of transportation to explore big cities, small towns, and hidden gems—without joining a tour group. They started in Paris and used the OuiGo high-speed train to reach Avignon, then added regional trains, rental cars, and local buses to visit places like Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Carcassonne, Sarlat-la-Canéda, and Amboise. Stephen shares practical advice on booking train tickets, rebooking car rentals to save money, and using travel apps to avoid stress. Annie and Stephen also talk about how to find the best parking in small villages, how to use luggage storage services, and why it's smart to plan around French public holidays. They touch on lesser-known challenges like fuel station card holds and using Wise debit cards in Europe. Whether you're planning to travel light, visit Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, or simply get the most out of your trip without overpacking your schedule, this episode is full of useful, real-world tips.

Writer, teacher, and humanitarian aid worker Alex Poppe joined me last year to talk about her journey from acting to teaching to writing, and how her experiences abroad influenced her journey. She returns to the show today to talk about her new memoir, Breakfast Wine, which chronicles her time teaching in Iraq. We also talk about what we each learned from living abroad at different ages and for different amounts of time, the special magic of teaching teens and young adults, and the way the arts teach us empathy and are a uniquely human way to give life meaning. Alex, who worked for USAID, also gives us a glimpse of the power of humanitarian aid around the world. Episode breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 04:18 Teaching international students changes perceptions about other cultures. 08:16 Political divisions and cultural nuances within Iraq explained. 12:26 Americans are insulated from ongoing events in Iraq. 16:09 Motivations for living abroad differ by age and situation. 20:47 Financial reasons and curiosity drive educators to work overseas. 24:39 The emotional impact of teaching youth in conflict regions. 28:14 Teachers and students mutually influence each other's lives deeply. 32:34 Adjusting to working with USAID and NGO environments. 36:00 Culture shock of returning to the US after years abroad. 40:26 Living abroad changes your outlook and maturity in many ways. 44:11 Encountering anti-American sentiment versus curiosity abroad. 48:09 The arts foster empathy and human connection in society. 52:28 Creative collaboration and failing exuberantly in brainstorming sessions. 56:01 The writing process of Breakfast Wine was messy and surprising. 01:03:34 Personal journey revealed through the writing process.

Jonathan Thiede concludes the Encountering the Risen Christ series exploring John 21:18-23. He reveals how Jesus calls each believer to a uniquely personal path of sacrifice rather than comparing our journeys with others. He invites us to find freedom and contentment by fixing our eyes on Jesus and surrendering to God's will, even when our sacrifices seem disproportionate or unfair.Message Summary & Transcript - https://www.orchardhillchurch.com/blog-post/2025/5/26/encountering-the-risen-christ-6-sacrificeSubscribe to Orchard Hill Plus! - https://orchardhillplus.buzzsprout.com/shareConnect with Orchard Hill ChurchWebsite | https://www.orchardhillchurch.comMobile App | https://https://www.orchardhillchurch.com/appYouTube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/OrchardHillChurchPAFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/orchardhillchurch/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/orchardhillchurch/Twitter | https://twitter.com/orchard_hill

FLORIDA TRIP 2025 Tuesday, May 27, 2025 Come and See: Encountering the One Who Knows Everything About You (John 4:1-45) Mark Davis

In this "how-to" episode, we will look at the practical ways in which you can include Jesus while reading, meditating, and comprehending the Bible so He can make it relevant to your everyday life.    Jesus can make your time in the Word fun, engaging, and transformational when you learn the important difference between reading the Word WITH Him and not for Him or any other reason.   Dr. Patty shares the Biblical foundation of the command to have the Holy Spirit interpret Scriptures so you are not trying to understand it with your limited mind.  She addresses what Truth really is and Jesus clarifies the difference between knowing about Him and knowing Him intimately.   Dr. Patty goes back to the basics with the basic dialogue journaling steps from Habakkuk 2:1-2.  She shares examples of how Jesus speaks in your language and cultural framework but is always consistent with Biblical Truth.  To make reading the Word fun, Jesus invites you to jump into the Bible parable story of the four soils and He shows you which soil condition reflects your heart and what He has for you when you have good soil in your heart during your Experience Jesus encounter time.   Links referenced in this episode: New to the Podcast?  Check out the Trailer Episode for the Biblical Foundation for Experiencing Jesus!  https://PattyEJ.Podbean.com/e/trailer-episode-experience-jesus-with-dr-patty-sadallah   The Special Place Encounter Exercise   https://bit.ly/3cEkYBC   Get Two Free Chapters of the Experience Jesus Book Series  https://pattysadallah.com/free-gift/   Check out all of Dr. Patty's books, journals, and downloadable resources at her bookstore, and don't forget to use the code EJPOD to receive 10% off everything, even the things on sale.  https://PattySadallah.com/shop/   Check out Dr. Patty's latest book- Encountering the POWER  of God: Experience Jesus Book 4 https://pattysadallah.com/product/encountering-the-power-of-god-experience-jesus-book-4/     And please make sure you share this podcast and share how you were blessed by this episode by commenting below!  THANKS!

For a lot of people, Revelation is the Bible's great mystery—full of wild images and swirling predictions, often left to collect dust or to stir up arguments about the end times. But beneath all the confusion, Revelation also speaks to something deeply human: our ache for intimacy, our struggle with loneliness, and our longing to know that God is closer than we think. Today I'm joined by Dr. Shane J. Wood - professor, theologian, and author of Thinning the Veil. Shane has spent decades steeped in Revelation, not as a codebook for the future, but as a guide for living with honesty and presence right now. His approach is all about transformation: what does it mean to let the way of Jesus reshape our identity, our relationships, and the way we move through a world that often feels disconnected? In this conversation, we dive into how loneliness touches us all, how the presence of God can feel just out of reach, and how the message of Revelation invites us to draw near—to God and to one another. We talk about the cycles of power and fear that keep us apart, and how worship and vulnerability can open the door to real, embodied intimacy. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of your isolation, or if faith can make a difference in our deepest places of longing, I invite you to listen as we peel back the layers and look for the thin places—where heaven and earth meet, and where we discover what it means to be fully known and fully loved. So join us.Shane J. Wood (PhD, University of Edinburgh) is professor of New Testament and Its Origins at Ozark Christian College.

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 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.

Learning is circular… every turn around we learn something newer or deeper… life is a series of learning the same lessons over and over again, hopefully to more depth (or with a slightly different flavour)… thus we welcome our triggers, and know that there is a gift in them. As we “encounter”, or “meet with the adversary” we can grow, learn, and change who we are… finding more congruence in our being, lives, and relationships. In this episode: How triggers are the only thing keeping us stuck from parenting (and being) how we want toHow to find your triggers and move through them (in a deeper way)What healing looks like in your life (how to know you're on the path)Encountering our own inner adversary, and coming out a changed personNEW PODCAST ALERT!! Welcome to The Art of Shame-Free Living… please take a second to listen to the trailer, and subscribe to the podcast, wherever you listen! Spotify HEREApple HEREYouTube HERESubstack HERE Connect with Crystal:Intuitive Journaling Prompts HERE and a somatic meditation (Move through frustration in 15 minutes or less) HERE, The Art of Non-Attachment Workshop HEREGet started on this work with daily practice in a journal, Burn This Book (a great intro to mental and emotional wellness) HEREWork with Crystal 1:1: www.coachcrystal.ca/miracle or in group: www.coachcrystal.ca/creationroomGrab your copy of Crystal's feelings wheel here: www.coachcrystal.ca/wheelFind your parenting personality (and get tips specific to it) by taking the quiz HERE

Russ Brasher and Emily DeAngelo explore John 20:24-31, revealing how Jesus compassionately meets Thomas in his doubts, demonstrating that our questions aren't obstacles but opportunities for deeper faith.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome, friends, to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible. It's April 30th and we've reached day 121 in our journey through the Scriptures—a milestone marking the close of another month together in 2025. Today's episode takes us through powerful passages in 2 Samuel 6, 1 Chronicles 13, Psalm 68, and Matthew 17. Hunter, our host, invites us to pause from the rush of life and soak in God's Word, letting it speak deeply into our hearts. This episode delves into the dramatic story of moving the Ark of God, David's uninhibited worship, and the consequences of disregarding God's holiness. We reflect on the blessing that follows reverence and obedience, and the ways God's presence transforms lives and communities. In the New Testament, we ascend the mountain with Jesus, Peter, James, and John for the Transfiguration—a breathtaking vision of God's glory and the Father's resounding call to “listen to Him.” Hunter shares moving insights on how Jesus is the final and living Word, the One who remains when all other voices fade away, and how God is drawing all humanity to Himself for true transformation. We'll close, as always, with prayer—asking God to make us instruments of His peace, to renew our minds and hearts, and to carry us forward in the strength of His joy. So grab your Bible, settle in, and join us as we listen, reflect, and pray together on today's Daily Radio Bible. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The pathway to real transformation is seen here on this mountain. This story is about far more than Jesus' clothes being transformed, made dazzling white, whiter than snow. It's about you and me. It's about the world and all things being transformed. In this story, we are offered a vision and a voice. The first thing we see is that Jesus—he's the final word. He's the one we're told to listen to over and above all else. Not Elijah. Not Moses. Not the writings. Not the Torah. Not Peter. Not me. Not you. Peter witnesses this amazing moment—there he is. Suddenly, Elijah and Moses are speaking with Jesus on the mountain, and Peter, out of fear or pride or probably both, shouts out, “Lord, it's good for us to be here. If you wish, I'll make three tabernacles here. One for you, one for Moses, one for Elijah.” Peter thinks somehow he's going to have some final say here. And so we hear him say those words: “I will make a tabernacle.” Other translations render it, “let us build.” But “let us build” is not the final word. No. Those words are often born out of fear and pride, but they will never be the final word. Individuals and kingdoms and churches are always offering this as the final word—let us build. But fear, which makes us cower, and pride, which puffs us up, will all be subsumed in the end by God's voice, by God himself, the living word. And we see that here. Suddenly, a cloud envelops them, and a voice comes from the cloud. The voice they hear is the Father, saying: “This is my son that I love. Listen to him.” At the sound of his voice, they're terrified. They fall face down to the ground. It's at this point that Jesus comes and touches them, says, “Get up. Don't be afraid.” When they look up, nobody is there but Jesus. Moses, Elijah, gone. Only Jesus remains. No more voices. No more conversations. Only Jesus. The one who is the final word. He's the one that remains, and he—the living word—will envelop all of our fearful pride. His voice will break through all things, and he will make all things new. So let's hear the father's voice on this mountain today. He's pointing us to his son. And not just on this mountain, but on a different mountain. This whole episode is pointing us to Calvary's mountain. And not just Peter, James, and John are being drawn to Calvary's mountain—no, he's drawing all of humanity there to himself. When the Son of Man is lifted up, he will draw all humanity to himself, that he might transform all things—including you and me. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I'll hear the Father well. That I'll see what Peter, James, and John saw. That Jesus is the final word. He is the living word. And through him, he's making all things new. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
