Podcasts about exploring god

In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we unpack Proverbs 18 and the weight of our words. What we say—and when we say it—matters deeply. Our words can build up or tear down, bring life or cause harm. We're also challenged to reflect on our friendships: Who shapes us most, and what kind of friend are we becoming? This conversation invites us to consider both the wisdom of our speech and the influence of our relationships, pointing us back to the source of true wisdom—God Himself.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we dive into Proverbs 17 and the weight of our words. Scripture reminds us that life and death are in the power of the tongue—our words matter, and so does what we listen to. In a culture quick to post, type, and react, God's Word calls us to slow down, be honest, and pursue wisdom. We explore how sin is a choice that carries consequences, but how taming our tongues can bring joy and align us with the fruit of the Spirit. True wisdom is found not in the endless noise of the world, but in the living Word of God.EPISODE LINKSArise AZ Tickets 2026WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

This week in GoGROW, we were reminded that exploring God isn't just a stage we pass through — it's a real spiritual condition. But exploration isn't the finish line. Jesus tells us in John 3:3 that unless we are born again, we cannot see the Kingdom of God.Being in church doesn't mean being in Christ. Serving doesn't equal saving. Emotion isn't transformation. Exploring God isn't the same as knowing Him — it's a call to respond.We learned that not everyone who follows Jesus around is actually a disciple. Our role isn't just to walk with people, but to clearly share the Gospel and lead them to Jesus.2 Corinthians 5:20 reminds us that we are Christ's ambassadors — God is making His appeal through us. That means we must call people to salvation, inviting them into a moment of clarity, repentance, and faith.This week, our challenge is simple: keep reaching, keep planting seeds, and don't miss the opportunity to invite someone into a life-changing relationship with Jesus.Week 3 GoGROW – Key Takeaways1. Exploring God is a Real Spiritual Condition• It's not a placeholder or a casual label.• Jesus said in John 3:3 that we must be born again to see the Kingdom of God — exploration should lead to transformation.2. Proximity ≠ Discipleship• Being in church doesn't mean being in Christ.• Serving doesn't equal saving.• Feeling something emotionally isn't the same as experiencing real transformation.• Exploration must become response — a decision to follow Jesus.3. Walking vs. Leading• Not everyone who follows Jesus around is a disciple.• Our role as believers isn't just to “walk with” those exploring God but to clearly share the Gospel and lead them toward Christ.4. Share the Gospel Clearly• Who Jesus is• Why He died• What He offers• What He requires• We are called to be Christ's ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20), making His appeal to the world.5. Call People to Respond• Acts 3:19 – Repent, turn back, and receive forgiveness so times of refreshing may come.• Romans 10:9 – Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord to be saved.• There must be a clear moment of invitation and response.6. Salvation is a Gift• Ephesians 2:8-9 – Salvation is by grace through faith, not by works — we cannot earn it.

In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we dive into Proverbs 16:25–30 and explore the profile of the wicked—what they look like, what they do, and how we are called to respond. Proverbs, as ancient poetry, requires us to wrestle with its context before we interpret it. This passage reveals the dangerous progression of pride left unchecked, which leads to the downward spiral of wickedness. We uncover how arrogance, deceit, and quickness toward evil contrast with the slowness and steadiness of wisdom. Ultimately, God's Word offers us a mirror to examine our own hearts, not just a microscope to judge others.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

God spoke, and reality sprang into existence. Genesis 1 opens the greatest story ever told with a powerful revelation of God as the eternal source of everything—deliberate, ordered, and good. This ancient text reveals a Creator who brings perfect order from nothingness, crafting a universe with intentional design rather than random chance.What strikes us most profoundly is the creation of humanity in the imago dei—the image of God. Unlike any other creature, humans bear the divine imprint in every cell. This explains our innate drive to create—whether through art, music, business, or family. We're never more aligned with our divine design than when we're creating, mirroring the God who spoke worlds into existence. When you write a story, build a home, or compose a song, you're expressing this fundamental aspect of being God's image-bearer.The creation account contains fascinating details that reshape our understanding. Before sin entered the world, both humans and animals were vegetarians, sustained by the vegetation God provided. Death and animal consumption emerged only after the Fall—a reminder of how sin disrupted God's perfect design. Yet even now, creation testifies to God's glory everywhere we look. From the stars above to the intricate design of our bodies, His fingerprints remain visible.Understanding Jesus as the agent of creation (as confirmed in John 1) transforms how we see Him. The One who formed galaxies is the same One who formed our hearts. The hands that stretched out the heavens are the same hands that were stretched out on the cross for us. He creates with purpose, and that includes you. Nothing about your existence is accidental or insignificant.Subscribe to His Story as we continue exploring how Jesus wrote the greatest story ever told—a story that includes His complete love for you and me. Join us Friday as we turn to Psalm 8, where David gazes at the night sky and marvels at God's care for humanity.The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God's Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God's Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

In our spiritual journey, we're reminded that dreams truly do come true when aligned with God's purpose. The message delves into Psalm 37:4-5, emphasizing the importance of delighting ourselves in the Lord to receive the desires of our hearts. This isn't about superficial wants, but deep-seated desires that become fervent prayer requests. As you listen to this message, you will be encouraged to explore your God-given dreams, seeing them as spacious and multifaceted, much like an ornate ballroom. As we commit our ways to the Lord, we're called to enlarge our faith rather than shrink our dreams. As we pursue our dreams, we're reminded to follow the Holy Spirit's guidance, not just our own desires, ensuring we're in step with God's timing and plan.

In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we explore Proverbs 14:29–35 and the clear contrast between the fruit of wisdom and the fruit of folly. Wisdom produces life, blessing, and the favor of God, while folly produces rotten consequences. We're reminded that wisdom is not a one-time decision but a daily, enduring pursuit. Choosing to walk in wisdom means choosing to walk with God Himself—day after day, step by step.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

In Proverbs 13:21–25, we're reminded that discipline isn't punishment—it's actually good for us. This passage calls us to trust God's timing and character, even when life feels unfair. We see themes of justice, legacy, stewardship, parenting, and satisfaction woven together. Discipline becomes the thread: it's how we train our hearts to wait on God, to crave what is truly good, and to live in step with His ways.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

What Happens When We Die? Find out in our interview with Dr. Jeffrey Long! Dr. Jeffrey Long, renowned radiation oncologist and founder of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF), shares his jaw-dropping insights into the science of NDEs, consciousness, and the afterlife. Drawing from over 5,000 verified near-death experiences, he presents the most compelling scientific and spiritual evidence that your consciousness may exist after life independent of the brain. From documented out of body experiences under anesthesia to cases where blind individuals describe vivid visuals and the deaf report hearing, Dr. Long dismantles mainstream scientific objections with hard data, like low oxygen, seizures, or residual brain activity. He explores the profound themes of life after death, spirituality, and God and reveals how people across cultures describe encounters with heaven, hell, or divine beings through deeply personal spiritual and often Christian lenses. This fascinating interview touches on the philosophical and religious implications of near-death states, including the idea of a pre-birth plan, and life reviews. Plus he explains the lasting aftereffects of NDEs, from extrasensory perception to sudden shifts in religion, values, or purpose. Dr. Long also unpacks how near-death experiences differ from dreams or psychedelic trips, and why they're often described as “more real than life.” Whether you approach this from the lens of Christianity, science, philosophy, or open-minded curiosity, this conversation offers something for skeptics and believers alike. It's a soul-stirring podcast that will transform how you think about life, death, and the possibilities of what comes after.

In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we're diving into Proverbs 13 and unpacking the posture of wisdom—one that listens, learns, and lives it out. From guarding our words to submitting to God's authority, this chapter gives us insight into the heart of the wise. Are we ruled by cravings or shaped by discipline? Do we pray before we speak? Cherie walks through practical and spiritual reflections on integrity, speech, cravings, and work ethic. The righteous are guarded by their integrity—so what posture are you choosing?WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Linda Zagzebski discuss her book "Omnisubjectivity: An Essay on God and Subjectivity." Together they explore the concept of divine knowledge and its implications for understanding God. Dr. Zagzebski introduces the idea of omnisubjectivity, which posits that for God to be truly omniscient, He must have a complete grasp of the conscious states of all beings from their first-person perspective. The discussion delves into various models of omnisubjectivity, its relevance across different religions, and addresses moral objections related to God's understanding of human emotions. Make sure to check out Dr. Zagzebski's book: Omnisubjectivity: An Essay on God and Subjectivity

Proverbs 12 opens with a blunt truth: if you hate instruction, you're being stupid. In this episode, we explore what it means to be teachable and how wisdom shapes not only our thoughts and actions, but also the stability of our lives. The righteous seek counsel, pursue justice, and walk in a way that's secure and grounded. We don't get to compartmentalize our lives as followers of Jesus. From our thoughts to our speech to our character, all of life is for Him.

In this episode, we dive into Proverbs 11 and explore the powerful theme of our words—how they reflect our hearts and impact our communities. Scripture is clear: God cares deeply about our speech. We look at how wise words build up while careless words tear down, and we examine the call to humility that makes us slow to speak. Through several passages within Proverbs, Psalms, James, 1 Peter, and Titus, we learn that stewarding our words well is part of representing Jesus wherever we go. We also take an honest inventory of our speech: Are we quick to listen? Do our words bless or wound? This conversation is a practical, convicting, and hope-filled look at aligning our mouths with God's heart.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

In this episode, we unpack Proverbs 9 and the powerful imagery of Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly, two voices calling out, each offering a very different path. Lady Wisdom invites us to a life rooted in God's Word, one of intentional obedience and transformation. Her way leads to life. Lady Folly, on the other hand, entices us to stay in our foolishness, a path that ultimately leads to death. Wisdom is not idle or silent. It's calling us to train ourselves in God's truth. And if we find ourselves stuck in folly, we're reminded that change begins with confession, repentance, and a devoted life of prayer and obedience. We don't have what it takes on our own, but in Christ, we have everything we need to walk in wisdom.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

AMDG. In Kolbe's new astronomy program, the sky's the limit of what students can learn. Astronomy teacher Antonia Castro and course developer Vanessa Delgado are here to discuss the third quadrivium subject and Kolbe's updated astronomy program. The duo examine why astronomy is the “mother of the scientific field” and explain their efforts to bring students a foundational experience in applied mathematics and physics, while also sparking wonder at the grandeur of God's creation. “Everything is difficult if you don't know what it is,” Antonio reflects. “But once you start looking into it, step by step, it's easy,” he promises.  From building telescopes to mapping relative distances, this astronomy course has something for the most theoretical mind to the most practical learner.  Links mentioned & relevant:   Exploring the Heavens: Kolbe Academy's High School Astronomy Course with link to free download/preview of text and course materials  Carry On, Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham  Vatican Observatory podcast  Related Kolbecast episodes:  107 Wander & Wonder and 241 Renew, Resolve, Reengage with Vanessa Delgado  249 Stories Crafted with Care from Kolbe Academy Press  259 Seeing the Story: Classical Reflections on Art  114 Kolbe Academy Past, Present, and Future featuring Kolbe Academy Executive Director Mary Rowles  Have questions or suggestions for future episodes or a story of your own experience that you'd like to share?

In this powerful episode, we dive into Proverbs 7 and the sobering story of seduction that warns us of the consequences of sexual sin, specifically adultery. But more than just a cautionary tale, this chapter paints a clear picture of what wisdom and obedience look like. We explore the 10th paternal appeal in Proverbs, highlighting how treasuring God's wisdom protects us from destruction. You'll learn three key exhortations to help guard your heart: Don't wander—be intentional, don't be naive—be prepared, and don't do it alone—stay accountable. This isn't just about avoiding sin; it's about choosing the better way. Take some time this week to reflect, pray, and ask: Is there an area of obedience God is calling me to right now?WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

In this episode of The Nancy Grandquist Podcast we continue our series, "We Worship One God," with this discussion with Pastor Nathaniel Haney.The conversation delves into the concept of the oneness of God, exploring the identity and image of Jesus Christ both before and after Bethlehem. [27:56] Pastor Haney articulates the idea that God has always had a visible image, which was present even before the creation of the world, and this image is the same as Jesus Christ. He explains how this image was the focal point for communication with God, serving as the visible representation of the invisible God. The discussion covers various biblical passages, including Colossians, Philippians, and John, to support the idea that Jesus is the image of God and the creator of all things. [21:36] Pastor Haney also touches on the theological implications of understanding Jesus as the fullness of God, emphasizing the importance of this revelation for worship and prayer.------------Timestamped Chapters Chapter 1: Introduction and Historical Context  00:13 - 01:43Chapter 2: The Oneness Truth and Vision  01:43 - 02:40Chapter 3: The Identity of Jesus Before and After Bethlehem 02:40 - 06:14Chapter 4: The Magnitude of God and His Spirit 06:14 - 10:33Chapter 5: The Image of God and Its Role 10:33 - 19:03Chapter 6: Biblical References to the Image of God 19:03 - 29:41Chapter 7: The Word Made Flesh 29:41 - 39:47Chapter 8: Personal Experiences and Revelations 39:47 - 48:41Chapter 9: The Role of Angels and Spiritual Battles 48:41 - 50:37 Chapter 10: Conclusion and Call to Action 50:37 - 01:03:32

In this episode, we explore three powerful themes found throughout Proverbs: discipline, desire, and delight. Far from being harsh or punitive, the Lord's discipline is always meant to instruct and shape us. Discipline is a key indicator of a teachable spirit—are you open to correction from God? We also dig into how discipline leads to right desires and how corrupt desires often stem from a lack of it. Finally, we unpack the concept of delight—both our delight in the Lord and His delight in those who walk in wisdom. If you're longing to stay on the straight and intentional path of spiritual growth, this conversation is for you.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

In this episode, we explore Proverbs 6:16–19, where God clearly names seven things He finds detestable—yet reminds us that even these sins are covered by His grace. We're challenged to reflect on whether we take sin as seriously as God does, and to stay humble, teachable, and alert. When we think we're immune to temptation, we become vulnerable prey for the Enemy. This conversation invites us to move beyond dismissing "small sins" and cultivate a posture of vigilance and dependence on God's mercy.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

In this session, Dr. James Dolezal teaches on the often misunderstood doctrine of divine impassibility—the truth that God does not undergo emotional change or suffering. While God is deeply relational and perfectly loving, He is not subject to mood swings, surprise, or reaction in the way creatures are. Dolezal walks through Scripture and the 1689 Confession to explain how impassibility safeguards God's immutability, sovereignty, and faithfulness. He demonstrates that this doctrine is not a cold abstraction, but a profound comfort: the God who saves does not change. This session challenges modern distortions of God's nature and helps restore a view of the Lord that is both high and holy. This message is especially helpful for pastors, teachers, and Christians seeking to recover the historic, biblical understanding of who God is and how He interacts with His creation. Key Scriptures: Malachi 3:6 – "For I am the Lord, I do not change." Numbers 23:19 – "God is not a man, that He should lie…" Job 35:6–7 – "If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him?" Speaker Bio: Dr. James Dolezal is professor of theology at Cairn University and visiting professor at International Reformed Baptist Seminary. He is the author of God Without Parts and All That Is in God, and contributor to Divine Impassibility and Classical Theism. About the Conference: Confessing the Faith promotes reverent teaching on the doctrine of God as expressed in the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession. Each year focuses on one chapter of the confession. Upcoming: Join us in April 2026 for Chapter 3 – Of God's Decree Details and registration: www.confessingthefaith.ca

In this powerful episode, we tackle the often-avoided topic of sexual purity through the lens of Proverbs 5:1–14. God's design for sexuality is good—but it's also bound by wisdom, covenant, and purpose. We explore how going outside of God's boundaries invites brokenness and consequences, and why boundaries aren't about legalism but about freedom and fruitfulness. Whether you're single or married, this message challenges you to examine your thoughts, emotions, and actions in light of biblical truth—and to ask the honest question: How important is sexual purity to me?WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

In this episode of MARSCAST, Dr. Andrew Compton is joined by colleagues Dr. J. Mark Beach and alumnus and pastor Rev. Steve Swets to explore the theological concept of common grace. They unpack various definitions of common grace, distinguish it from saving grace, and analyze how Scripture uses terms for "grace" in both narrow and broader contexts. Through their scholarly yet accessible discussion, they highlight how Reformed theology reconciles God's goodness toward all creation with a robust doctrine of human depravity.

We don't naturally drift toward wisdom—it takes intention. In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we're diving into Proverbs 4 and the gift of God's imperatives: not rules to weigh us down, but invitations to freedom and alignment with His heart. You'll hear why staying on the “straight paths” means committing to God's Word, guarding your heart, and being mindful that we're never immune to wandering. Tune in to be encouraged, not overwhelmed, and reminded of the joy that comes from walking in wisdom.EPISODE LINKSGod I Look To You, by Bethel MusicWHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

In Proverbs 4:1-9, we see a father's urgent plea to pass down wisdom—generational blessings rather than generational strongholds. But how do we discern true wisdom from the noise all around us? In this episode, we unpack what it means to listen well, making sure God's voice is the loudest in our lives. Without His wisdom, we'll struggle to navigate the challenges we face in life–political division, culture wars, and family strife.

In this episode, we explore Proverbs 3:27-35 and the powerful wisdom it offers on justice, honor, and the consequences of how we treat others. Scripture challenges us not to withhold good from those who deserve it and warns against envying those who seem to prosper through wickedness. Instead, we are called to trust God, be faithful where He has placed us, and seek wisdom—because the wise will inherit honor. These verses are a rich reminder of how much we should treasure wisdom and live it out daily.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

Today, we're looking at what it actually looks like to trust the Lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 gives us a clear picture through three key commands:Trust in the Lord with all your heart – Trusting God requires surrender and often means waiting on Him instead of rushing ahead.Lean not on your own understanding – Our understanding is limited, but God's is not. When we rely only on ourselves, we risk being foolish.In all your ways know Him – Trusting God isn't just for big decisions; it means seeking His wisdom in every area of life.The Promise: He will make your paths straight. The straight path isn't always easy, but it is always good. Trusting God means allowing Him to guide us, even when the way forward isn't clear. WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

Today, Cherie dives into Proverbs 2 and the intentional pursuit of wisdom. Unpacking active language in this passage—accept, store up, call out, seek, search—emphasizes that wisdom doesn't just happen; it's something we must prioritize. Cherie challenges listeners to reflect on how their time reflects their priorities and highlights how pursuing wisdom ultimately leads us to the fear of the Lord (Romans 12:1-2). The reward? Favor and provision. True wisdom isn't stumbled upon—it's pursued.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

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, dear listeners, to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible. Today, it's January 6th, and it's day six of our journey through the Bible. I'm Hunter, your host and Bible reading coach. For over a decade, we've been gathering from all corners of the world, united in our desire to be transformed by the God who is love. In today's episode, we'll delve into Genesis chapters 15 through 17, and wrap up with a reading from Luke chapter 6. We'll explore God's immense promises to Abraham, the profound lessons in the stories of Sarai and Hagar, and the powerful teachings of Jesus. Stay tuned as we dig deep into the scriptures to have our hearts pointed toward Jesus, the true point and purpose of it all. Let's begin this journey together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is so much better than we think. God comes to Abraham, and he tells them that he's going to make him the father of many nations. That all the people of the world will be blessed through him. That he was going to give him the land of Canaan. And all of this, so it seemed to Abraham, was just too good to be true. Abraham couldn't get his head around a god who could actually do all this. So Abraham and Sarai conceived of something much more possible, something within reason, a surrogate son, something they together could try and make possible with their own efforts. We often do that. We struggle to think of God as big enough and good enough to do what our hearts long for or what he says he will do. So we often will interject with a scaled down version of what we think is possible. And we try to push these scaled down versions of goodness and love down the road because, well, that's the best we can hope for or even imagine. But God is so much better than we dare to think. Jesus is proof of that. He is so much better than many theologians and pastors have dared to preach. Luke describes a sermon that Jesus is preaching. And in this sermon, Jesus is commanding his followers to be much better than they've ever dared to be. Love your enemies, he says. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. Do to others as you would have them do to you. Do this, he says, and you will truly be acting as children of God. Do this, and you will be acting the way God acts. In fact, Jesus ends this part of his message by saying, God is kind even to those who are unthankful and wicked. God the father is compassionate. Did you catch that? God is kind to the unthankful and the wicked. He is compassionate. That is who he is. And yet so often we scale that version of God down with an endless host of qualifications. He's good if you do this. He's good if you behave this way. He's good only to these people. But Jesus today, in his sermon, is inviting us to imagine God as better than anything we have dared to believe. Far too often, we have painted the face of God with a brush of our own anxieties and fears, and that picture of God is so much smaller, so less kind and loving than anything that Jesus has revealed to us. What Jesus shows us of the father is so much better. So let us hear how good God is today. Let's dare to begin to imagine, here at the beginning of 2022, that he is indeed better than we thought. When we begin to do that, we will begin to behave in ways that are far better than we ever thought we could. We will love our enemies. We will do unto others as we would have them do unto us. And that's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. Let's continue now in a time of prayer. 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome, dear listeners, to the Daily Radio Bible, and thank you for joining us on this 15th day of November, our 320th day in our journey through the scriptures. I'm your host, Hunter, your brother and Bible reading coach, guiding us daily to the living word of God. Today, we'll be delving into the final chapters of Job, where we'll witness God's awe-inspiring descriptions of Leviathan followed by Job's humble response and eventual restoration. Then, we pivot to 2nd Corinthians, where Paul shares profound insights on comfort, suffering, and the power of forgiveness. Together, let's immerse ourselves in these divine texts and seek God's guidance and presence in our lives. Stay tuned, and let's embark on this spiritual journey together. Why don't we get started? 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
