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, where each day we journey through the pages of Scripture, seeking to encounter the living Word of God together. In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through a reflective reading from Lamentations chapters 3, 4, and 5, and Revelation chapter 15. As we hear the raw and honest emotions of Jeremiah in Lamentations—his anguish, his questions, and ultimately his hope—Hunter helps us wrestle with tough questions about God's character, especially in the midst of suffering and discipline. We're reminded that even in the darkest moments, God's faithful love and new mercies remain. Hunter encourages us to interpret Scripture through the lens of Christ, who is God's ultimate revelation of love and redemption. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers and greetings from listeners all over the world, strengthening our sense of community and reminding us that, no matter where we are, we are truly loved. So whether you're starting your day or winding down, join us as we seek understanding, hope, and the presence of God in His Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What is God like? The words we've read today in Lamentations are sobering—disturbing even. The depth of pain and sorrow expressed by Jeremiah raises profound questions about God's nature. Is God a capricious deity, much like the gods of Mount Olympus, who inflicts suffering on his people, making them eat gravel, leaving them devastated, and shutting out their prayers? These heavy descriptions can cause uncertainty, fear, and even distance in our hearts if we're not sure how to read them. But scripture calls us deeper. It invites us to wrestle honestly with these raw emotions. Jeremiah is telling God's story from the depths of siege and devastation, describing how it feels to stand in the ruins and believe that suffering comes from the very hand of God. Yet, it is vital to understand what comes next—the context that gives us hope. After pouring out the weight of his affliction, Jeremiah says, “Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends. His mercies never cease. Great is Thy faithfulness. His mercies begin afresh every morning. I say to myself, the Lord is my inheritance; therefore I will hope in him.” This, my friend, is the true picture of God revealed in scripture. Yes, lament is real—sorrow and loss are real. But our ultimate understanding of God is found in his faithful, unfailing love. The Bible shows us who God is by pointing us to Jesus Christ—the final and fullest revelation of the Father's heart. God does not come to make us pay, to crush us, to leave us in darkness. He comes in Christ to deliver us from evil, to save us from wrath, to heal and restore and redeem. The Gospel is our lens—Christ is the foundation for every understanding of God's character. It is through Him that we see God's goodness, compassion, and steadfast love that never ceases. So when we read passages of lament, of suffering and hardship, we do not stop there. We fix our eyes on Jesus, trusting that the God we see in Him is the God who loves and holds us—whose mercy is new every morning, whose faithfulness is our hope. That's my prayer for my own soul, that I will see beyond the shadows of suffering and look into the face of Christ. That's my prayer for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's my prayer for you. May we know and trust the God whose love is everlasting, whose faithfulness is great, and whose mercy never ends. 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

In it, we see Judas betraying his Savior, Peter trying to take matters into his own hands, and the disciples fleeing in fear. This passage reminds us that even our best intentions, efforts, and strength fall short—but Jesus's faithfulness never does. Though all His disciples abandoned Him, He remained steadfast, carrying out the plan to save His own.

    Nicole begins the new bible study series Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World with Daniel Chapter 1. Set in Babylon after God’s people are taken into exile, this story introduces Daniel and his friends as they resist assimilation into a foreign culture. By choosing faithfulness—even in something as simple as food—God equips them with wisdom and influence. Together, we’ll learn how to live faithfully in a culture that often presses us to conform, and how exile never has the last word when God is sovereign. What We Cover - Why Daniel and his friends refused the king’s food and what it teaches about holy resistance. How exile is never the end of the story—God works even in scattering. Why respectful courage matters when culture pressures us to assimilate. How God honors faithfulness with His presence and provision. Key Scriptures - Daniel 1 – Daniel’s faithfulness in Babylon. Jeremiah 29:4–7 – God’s call to seek the good of the city, even in exile. Exodus (background) – God’s promise to set His people apart. This Week's Reflection Questions: Where do you feel pressure to assimilate to “Babylon” in your own life? What might holy resistance look like for you this week?

    This week at LYA, Pastor Daniel dives into what it means to walk through seasons when God says “no.” With passion and honesty, he reminds us that God's presence is real whether or not we feel it, that He is love, peace, and freedom, and that every longing of our hearts can be met in Him. Drawing from Jacob's midnight wrestling match in Genesis 32, the message explores how God uses struggle, unanswered prayers, and divine “no's” to shape us. Through stories, humor, and Scripture, this episode calls us to wrestle with God honestly, trust His sovereignty, and embrace the transformation He brings—even in the hardest seasons.

    Are You a Part of What God Is Doing in Our Country Today? Do You Seek God's Presence in Your Life? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Can you tell what God is up to in the World, in our time, in our church, and in America? Are you a part of what God is doing in the world today, or are you just reacting to what God is doing, thereby, creating conflict and division? Psalms 105 reminds you of God's power in the world if you do seek His presence in your life: “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered.". On the other hand, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 1:9, warns you of the implications for not including the presence of Jesus in your worldly considerations: “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.”. While the Lord is leading, and directing, it seems that we are wrapped up in our agenda and our way of doing things; therefore, we miss God's presence; and we miss the Holy Spirit in our lives.    TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Fear. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Faithfulness. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 5:6; Matthew 5:10; Psalms 112:1-6; Psalms 119b:13-24.

    In our age of instant everything—instant texting, instant coffee, instant results—we've largely forgotten the power of the slow, steady work of faithfulness. We swipe when relationships get difficult, quit when jobs get challenging, and abandon commitments when they stop feeling convenient. We live in a culture that has trained us to expect immediate gratification and to move on the moment things require effort or sacrifice.Matthew 25:14-15Matthew 25:20-21Matthew 25:24-28I. FAITHFULNESS IS A CHOICE, NOT A FEELING"Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful."1 Corinthians 4:2 Quoteable Statement: "Faithfulness isn't about feeling like it - it's about following through when you don't feel like it."Everyone wants to be a beast, but they don't want to do what beasts do….“It is required of a man that he be faithful, not successful.” Howard Hendricks, "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."

    In this powerful message, we're challenged to consider the fruit of faithfulness in our spiritual lives. Drawing from Paul's extended ministry in Ephesus (Acts 19:8-10), we're reminded that great fruit often requires great time and commitment. Just as it takes 18 months to grow a pineapple, our spiritual growth and impact on others may require patience and perseverance. The message encourages us to stay rooted in our calling, even when faced with opposition or difficulty. Paul's example of pivoting his ministry strategy rather than quitting altogether serves as an inspiration for us to find new ways to serve God and share His message, even in challenging circumstances. This lesson is particularly relevant in our culture of instant gratification, reminding us that true spiritual growth and impact often come through sustained commitment and faithfulness.

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 2:16-18: Then the Lord raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them. Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they whored after other gods and bowed down to them. They soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord, and they did not do so. Whenever the Lord raised up judges for them, the Lord was with the judge, and he saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. For the Lord was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who afflicted and oppressed them. — Judges 2:16-18 God's anger burned in the last passage, but now his compassion rises. He raises up judges to deliver his people. Not because they deserved it, but because his mercy runs deeper than their rebellion. Even when Israel ignored the judges and spiraled back into sin, God kept showing up. He wasn't just keeping score—he was pursuing hearts. “The Lord was moved to pity by their groaning…” That's the heart of a Father. God is just. But he is also tender. He disciplines, but he also delivers. He doesn't abandon his people in their pain—even when that pain is their own doing. And here's the part that should stop us in our tracks: God saved them through the judge. But the people still didn't listen. The problem wasn't outside—it was inside. Their hearts were stubborn. Their worship wandered. Their loyalty fractured. But still… God intervened. Not once. Repeatedly. That's grace. That's our God. And that's your reminder: no matter how far you've drifted, God still has ways to pull you back. Maybe it's a person. A moment. A truth that hits you like a freight train. He hasn't stopped reaching even if you've stopped listening. So today, respond to the rescue. Don't repeat the cycle. ASK THIS: What has God used in my life to draw me back to him? Have I been ignoring his rescue efforts? Why do I keep returning to what he's already delivered me from? What would it look like to fully respond today? DO THIS: Write down one way God has shown you mercy, and tell someone else about it today as an act of obedience and praise. PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for rescuing me even when I didn't deserve it. Help me recognize your grace and respond to it with faith and obedience. Amen PLAY THIS: "Mercy."

    Most of us in the world live as functional atheists. We live our day to day lives without reference to God almost by instinct. This way of conceiving of the world as a “closed system” detached from anything beyond the physical realm stands in contrast to the worldview we find in the book of Ruth. The three main characters in Ruth: Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz all speak in ways that acknowledge God's hand in all things despite the fact that He never speaks nor performs a single miracle in this narrative. We often assume that God works only in extraordinary circumstances, but Ruth challenges this notion by showing how the purposes of God play out in the ordinary lives of two grieving widows searching for bread. This is Understanding Ruth. Check out the rest of our Understanding Series: https://www.fouroaksmidtown.com/teachings

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 2:14-15: So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them over to plunderers, who plundered them. And he sold them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, so that they could no longer withstand their enemies. Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord was against them for harm, as the Lord had warned, and as the Lord had sworn to them. And they were in terrible distress. — Judges 2:14-15 God's anger burned—not randomly, but righteously. Israel had abandoned him. Now, he lets them experience what life is like without his protection. He gives them over to their enemies. He lets them experience defeat. Not because he's cruel, but because he's faithful. He's a covenant-keeping God, even when keeping the covenant involves discipline. “Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord was against them for harm…” That's a terrifying scripture. But God warned them multiple times. He told them what would happen. They didn't believe him. They abused his grace, lived in blatant disobedience, and then worshipped other gods. Sometimes the pain we feel isn't an attack from the enemy—it's the correction of a loving Father. But God doesn't discipline us to destroy us. He does it to wake us up because he loves us. When we disobey and rebel, he'll often let us feel the weight of our choices. Not to shame but to shape us. Because the worst thing God could do is let us keep going casually and comfortably in the wrong direction. So if you're in distress right now, don't just ask, “How do I escape this?” Ask, “What is God trying to teach me in this?” His discipline is proof that he hasn't given up on you. It means he still wants you, your heart, and your full surrender to him. ASK THIS: Is there a hardship I'm facing that may be tied to disobedience? How have I misunderstood God's discipline in the past? What warning from God have I ignored for too long? What step of repentance is He inviting me into today? DO THIS: Reflect on one area of hardship and ask God if it's connected to something He's trying to correct—and then respond with surrender. PRAY THIS: Lord, if I'm under Your discipline, I don't want to waste it. Teach me what I need to learn and bring me back to You fully. Amen PLAY THIS: "Run to the Father."

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video over the next 23 years. Read more about it here: PROJECT23 Our text today is Judges 2:6-10: When Joshua dismissed the people, the people of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land. And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work that the Lord had done for Israel. And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 years. And they buried him within the boundaries of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of the mountain of Gaash. And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel. — Judges 2:6-10 Joshua's generation had seen the mighty works of God. They walked through the Jordan. Watched Jericho fall. Inherited a land they didn't deserve. They served God faithfully during Joshua's lifetime, and a little beyond. But then something terrifying happened. The next generation didn't know the Lord. Not just that they didn't follow him. They didn't even know him. That's not just spiritual drift. That's spiritual negligence. Somewhere along the line, the storytelling stopped. The personal testimonies faded. The discipleship broke down. The fathers assumed their faith would be passed on without intentionality. It didn't. This is one of the most sobering verses in all of Judges. It reminds us that spiritual inheritance is never automatic. It must be pursued, communicated, and modeled. Your kids won't inherit your faith through osmosis. They'll catch it when they see it lived, taught, and treasured. And the men around you? They're watching too. If you don't talk about God's faithfulness, who will? If you don't model repentance, courage, and trust, what will they imitate? We are always one generation away from forgetting God. But we're also one conversation, one moment of obedience, one act of spiritual leadership away from changing that. Don't assume. Disciple. ASK THIS: Am I being intentional about passing on my faith? Who in my life needs to hear what God has done for me? What spiritual habits am I modeling for the next generation? How can I turn assumptions into intentional action today? DO THIS: Tell one younger person in your life today about something God has done for you, and why it matters. PRAY THIS: Lord, don't let me waste my spiritual influence. Help me lead those behind me to know You deeply and love You faithfully. Amen PLAY THIS: "Faithful Now."

    If internship offers experience for one's resume, what does internship lodging provide? In Ethan Rosen's case, it led to far more than anticipated, as he narrates on this podcast episode. Ethan could not afford lodging for his sports management internship, so his coach introduced him to a church whose members opened their homes one summer for several weeks each. Thus, Ethan met a seed producer, became enthralled with the business, lived in his home for several years, and eventually acquired the company. He and host Dr. Matt Davis laugh about former college escapades, tempering it now with a more mature perspective. They observe that the same leadership Ethan exercised with peers as football captain is the same energy needed in business. For now, Ethan asserts, until the Lord directs otherwise, he is gratified glorifying God by caring for employees and providing seed to feed the world.
