The "holy ego" is a trap, where it seems spiritual and is about keeping the peace, but isn't. It's ridden with guilt, one upping, and tolerating others. This perpetuates fear and judgement. Whereas the true Self, our spirit self, does not take the bait and knows none of the drama means anything at the end of the day, and how that is true Forgiveness for the sake of peace. Tune into this week's episode to learn how loving ourselves is the ultimate way to let go of others grievances. The players showing up are just a reflection of our minds. Learning to forgive has value at all levels, but it will be a happy day when we can really Forgive from a place that knows this is all a projection, that we are all innocent, and none of this suffering has any part in reality.

Obsessing on what other people think about you, say about you, did to you - or are doing to you to undermine you Telling yourself you'll never get X because Y happened - over and over - this is a message that will come true when you say it - you are the story you tell yourself Focus on the causes of your current troubles rather than the things that can solve problems. And what does the victor look like? Takes rabid responsibility for their part in their own troubles (John Bush on self reflection, Buying things with a credit card to satisfy the instant gratification monkey, Friend with a violent husband removing herself from access, etc.) Controls their reaction to bad things to make the best of it - but not in a fake toxic positivity way. (Macchu Picchu) Focuses on what they CAN control (this one hurts for a reforming political junkie) Sees obstacles as challenges rather than insurmountable roadblocks Gains self worth internally, not from the feedback of others (and therefore cares not what people say about them or if people are trying to undermine them) A victor will ask - how can I? A victim will say I can't. That is the biggest difference between the two. So how do you become a victor when you are stuck as a victim? Recognize where you are - that is the first step to owning your future Shift your mindset from being helpless to proactive, rabid responsibility Know what you cannot control, and embrace that you can control your reaction to it Kill the negative thoughts and paranoia and ask yourself - How can i? Forgive - forgive yourself, forgive those around you - but it is ok to NOT forget6. Set boundaries to keep yourself building your future rather than getting stuck in past, unhealthy cycles. That choice — to build forward instead of staying broken — is what changes everything. Make it a great week. GUYS!

Daily Dose of Hope July 8, 2025 Scripture - Matthew 22:23-46 Prayer: Lord Jesus, We come before you this morning, thanking you for a new day. Lord, you are good and we rejoice in your holy and powerful name. As we begin our day, Lord, help us focus on you. Help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on your Word and what you want us to learn today. We get so distracted and self-consumed. Forgive us for that, Lord. In these next few moments of silence, help us have laser focus on your voice... In Your Powerful Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we finish up with Matthew 22. In this chapter, we see the Pharisees and Sadducees are trying to trick Jesus. They are desperately trying to trap him in his words so they can discredit him and/or arrest him. These teachers of the law feel like Jesus is destroying the very fabric of their religious faith. He certainly is turning everything upside down! The first part of today's passage is addressing Levirate marriage. The Sadducees, the intellectual aristocracy of the day, did not believe in resurrection. They were pressing Jesus on the topic, hoping to make him look foolish. If you will recall from Mark, levirate law was intended to protect widows without a male heir. When a brother died, leaving his wife without children, a surviving brother marries the widow with the sole intention of producing an heir. If a son is conceived, he is actually considered to be the deceased brother's child. In ancient near-East culture, a widow without any connection to a male would either starve or be forced to beg or prostitute herself. Thus, the Sadducees question makes a little more sense even though it is a bit absurd. A woman's husband dies and she marries a brother. That brother dies and she marries another brother and so forth until she has been married to all seven brothers. Then she dies. Whose wife will she be at the resurrection? Keep in mind, they ask this question knowing that they think the resurrection is false. Jesus basically tells them they are missing the point. In the resurrection, our bodies will be different – perfect and glorious. There will also be a change in our spiritual nature. Jesus is saying that in regard to marriage and sexual matters, we will be like the angels (note that he did not say we will be angels but we will be like them.) But the Sadducees were mistaken so significantly not because of this absurd question but because they didn't believe in the resurrection. This is a fundamental aspect of Jesus' teaching and they missed it entirely. The next part of today's Scripture is in regard to the greatest commandment. Keep in mind, when asking about which commandment is greatest, the expert in the law is hoping to engage in some kind of debate. But the commandment Jesus chose was not one that could be open for debate–it was a commandment recited by pious Jews each and every day, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. But then, Jesus adds something new, as he often does. He says...and the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. A person cannot love God and treat their neighbor poorly. Love of God is not an intellectual or abstract claim. Rather, love of God is expressed in the way we love others. I John 4:20 speaks to this truth, Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. What's interesting to me here is that Jesus says that the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments. If one loves God wholeheartedly, then they will observe the law. If someone loves God wholeheartedly, they will care for others as well. The prophets often proclaimed the need to worship God sincerely (not just go through the motions) and take care of those who were oppressed. One cannot split hairs about observing the Sabbath but then cheat your neighbor in the marketplace. Love of God and neighbor are intricately connected. This was true 2000 years ago and it's true today. Think about this past week. How have you demonstrated love of God? What about love of neighbor? In the final portion of today's Scripture, rather than allowing the Pharisees to try to entrap him, Jesus asks the hard question. He asks the group, “What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?” They immediately respond, “The son of David.” How then, Jesus asked, could David call him by the Spirit ‘Lord' when he said, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet”' (Psalm 110:1). “If David”, Jesus said, “Calls him ‘Lord,' how can he be his son?” The Pharisees were unable to answer and “from that day on no one dared to question him any longer”. Jesus point was missed. Of course, Jesus had descended from David. He was the Son of God. He was the Messiah, the one the Jews had been waiting for, for hundreds of years. He was right before their eyes and they were missing it. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
In this week’s episode of the Summer Q&A Series, Nicole answers a deeply personal and universally relevant listener question: “How do you repair a relationship when trust has been broken—and you know you’ll never accept their point of view?” With pastoral care, biblical grounding, and hard-earned wisdom, Nicole unpacks the spiritual and emotional nuance of reconciliation. Drawing from Matthew 18 and the parable of the unforgiving servant, she explores what it means to truly forgive someone from the heart—and how that differs from rebuilding trust or restoring a broken relationship. Nicole challenges the common myth that forgiveness equals relational closeness, and instead introduces a framework for discerning when and how to rebuild a relationship. Listeners will walk away with clarity, compassion, and a path forward for their most complex relational wounds. Main Takeaways Forgiveness and Reconciliation are not the same: You can forgive someone fully without restoring the relationship to what it once was. Forgiveness is about release: Releasing the debt someone owes you doesn't mean ignoring the pain or pretending it didn’t happen. Trust Must Be Rebuilt: Trust after betrayal requires mutual effort—both people must be willing to rebuild from their side of the breach. Respect is the Minimum Requirement: You don’t need to share the same worldview to have a relationship—but both parties must be willing to listen and respect one another. Relationships exist on a spectrum: Not every relationship needs to be fully restored. Some may be repositioned to a more distant—but still loving—place. Scripture challenges us to forgive radically: Jesus’ parable in Matthew 18:21–35 underscores the magnitude of the forgiveness we've received—and the forgiveness we're called to extend.

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comRomans 13 Identifying marks of a Christian include a proper attitude toward civil authorities, a passionate love for fellow believers, and a disciplined readiness for Christ's return. Regarding authority, God's people recognize that He establishes all governments, and submission to them is obedience to Him, so long as sin is not involved. Paying taxes and honoring leaders are hallmarks of a faithful life. Moreover, great honor and care are shown to fellow believers. Love does no harm to a neighbor, particularly those of the faith. This shared faith is connected to trust in Christ's return. Therefore, God's people live with urgency and awareness, setting aside deeds of darkness and donning the armor of light. In every aspect, they are diligent to serve Jesus and make no provision for the sins of the flesh. Christianity is profoundly counter-cultural. Many worldly individuals resist the constraints of authority in favor of self-will. However, the children of God submit fully to the Father, even when it means obeying local governments, as we trust in God's power to accomplish good through them. Our attitude toward the government reflects our faith. We show honor wherever God instructs, including to fellow Christians. Guided by God's love, we embrace our brethren in all circumstances and extend Christ-like affection to everyone. We also resist worldly influences and honor God by managing our desires, attitudes, and impulses, being careful to deny the flesh daily. Each day brings believers one step closer to seeing Jesus, and this expectation affects every aspect of our lives. Sovereign Father, thank You for establishing order through governing authorities and for the freedoms we enjoy in our country. Help us to cultivate holiness in our outlook and to submit to leadership with humility, integrity, and complete trust in You. Fill our hearts with hope and gratitude, and teach us to manifest those qualities in how we love one another. We pray for wisdom to live out Christ's law of love, making moral, sober choices so that we are always prepared to meet our King. Forgive our sins of the flesh as we eliminate provisions for sin and choose holiness. Thought Questions: - What is the right attitude toward governing authorities? What do we teach people about faith when we pay taxes and honor officials? - “Love does no wrong to a neighbor.” Is there ever a good reason to mistreat someone? How important is our treatment of others to the Lord? - What does it mean to “make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lust”? How do you apply this passage to things like “strife and jealousy”?

In God's honor, Christians offer their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, as a daily and ongoing act of worship. They refuse to conform to the patterns of this world but renew their minds, determined to show that the will of God is “good and acceptable and perfect.” This is not a lonely or selfish effort, as disciples recognize their role in the body of Christ. Each child of God has a function to fulfill in the fellowship of believers, exercising their gifts for the benefit of the group. Devotion to actions of love, encouragement, and hospitality shape their lives. Christians seek peace with all people and strive to overcome evil with good in every situation. As members of the body of Christ, each of us submits our entire life, both spirit and body, to the Lord. This means finding ways to fulfill God's will every day. The world encourages pride and self-centeredness, but God challenges us to be different and humbly committed to uplifting the body of believers. We must discover our gifts and use them, whether in service, teaching, exhortation, giving, leadership, or mercy. God also calls for devotion, sacrificial contributions, and hospitality. We rejoice with the joyful and comfort the afflicted. The ungodly actions of others must not distract us from our work of peacemaking or from acts of kindness, as we overcome evil by doing God's good will in this world. Merciful God, thank You for redeeming us from condemnation and setting us apart as Your people. Help us understand the responsibility we bear as consecrated members of Your Son's body. We will humbly acknowledge our gifts and use them for the betterment of Your people. We will reject evil and do what is good. Forgive us for our moments of selfishness and strengthen us to be devoted to one another, supporting each other through the ups and downs of this life. Teach us to remain peaceable in all situations, demonstrating that Your way is best in everything we do. Thought Questions: - What does it mean to present your body as a living and holy sacrifice? How is this “your spiritual service of worship” to God? - What are the gifts or talents God has given you to be employed in helping fellow believers? In what way are you currently using them? - “Never pay back evil for evil to anyone.” How do you respond when someone hurts you? Why should you seek peace and be kind whenever possible?
A Prayer to Love One AnotherJesus commands us to “love one another as I have loved you.” In today's prayer podcast, we explore what it means to love deeply and sacrificially—even in painful and inconvenient moments.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way. . . . — Isaiah 53:6 Sheep need particular care. They need to be led to still waters because they can't drink safely from fast-moving streams. They can't predict when the grass will run out and when they need to move to new pastures. Often there are holes in the ground that dangerous snakes can shelter in, and sheep do not suspect that they could be bitten. We need special care as well. We can't always predict the dangers and challenges ahead; nor do we always make wise choices. We don't always pace ourselves well when it comes to managing our resources and our day-to-day living. We are prone to burning out and tuning out—both of which can lead us astray. Of course there are other ways in which we are like sheep. We are easily distracted by anyone or anything besides the shepherd. So many shiny and alluring things draw our attention. Social media, TV, shopping, and other things can distract and lead us into pastures that may look inviting but don't satisfy. The psalm writer reminds us that when we follow the Lord our shepherd, we will lack nothing and that his provisions are soul satisfying. But we are responsible to follow. In what ways might you have acted sheepish lately? Forgive us, loving Shepherd, when we don't keep our eyes on you. Push away any distractions that keep us from fully following you. Amen.
Romans 3 vs 20-26.For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Mosesi and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.

The Book of Genesis captures the story of Joseph's life, which we will explore together in this series. From a betrayed son, to a slave, to a prisoner, and then to a global leader, every step of this life, the work of God is clear. Through Joseph, we discover many moments that reveal the heart of the Gospel and God's care for us. This week, we focus on Genesis 45-46 and the process of forgiveness.

Daily Dose of Hope July 1, 2025 Scripture – Matthew 20:1-19 Prayer: Lord Jesus, Show mercy on me. I fail you over and over again. I am not as loving as I should be. I'm not as patient as I should be. I don't demonstrate compassion and justice in the way you call me to do so. Forgive me, Lord. Help me do better. More of you and less of me. Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are exploring the first portion of Matthew 20. The Kingdom of God turns things upside down. In this parable, we see Jesus emphasizing this truth. The bottom line, whether you worked all day or just for an hour, God acts with grace toward all people. The story begins with three main characters: a landowner, a steward or manager, and people needing work. The first surprise comes when the landowner himself goes out to the marketplace to hire laborers. In spite of the unusual appearance by the wealthy landowner, the initial arrangement is typical of Jewish custom and Torah guidelines. Workers are hired at the beginning of the day to be paid a typical daily wage at the end of their work day. But before those workers have a chance to get much work done, the landowner goes back to the marketplace to hire workers and repeats this practice all the way until the 5 o'clock hour when there is little daylight or work remaining. Those hired at nine, noon, and three are not offered a full contract but are willing to trust the landowner to pay them “whatever is right.” The five o'clock hires aren't promised anything but the opportunity to work. We would have thought that the landowner would have known the number of workers he needed. But it seems evident that he is hiring workers not because there is this huge amount of work that needs to be done, but because the people need work. The wealthy landowner is truly concerned for the workers themselves. And then comes time for the pay. Shocking everyone, the people who were paid at the end of the day end up receiving a whole day's pay. In fact, whether the person was hired at 8am or 5pm, they each got the same payment at the end of the work day. This doesn't make the workers hired early very happy. In fact, they protest. They feel like justice has not been served. While Jesus is concerned with justice, mercy is also very high on his list. Jesus is once again making an important point here. If we are “good people” our whole lives, that doesn't earn us a place in heaven. None of us are good enough; we are all sinners (Romans 3:23). We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. And whether we have believed in Jesus since we were 5 years old or 95 years old, we are given the same offer of grace. We are all in the same boat. God won't be passing out MVP trophies. Rather than complaining that it isn't fair, let's rejoice that Jesus has offered us grace at all. Let's be real-none of us are worthy. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Rebecca Lynn Howard stormed into country music with “Forgive,” a powerhouse ballad that turned heads and proved her voice was the real deal. Not long after, Trisha Yearwood heard her play a song and asked to cut it on the spot—years later, they’d co-write Trisha’s latest single, “Girls Night In.” Rebecca went on to form The Loving Mary Band, which became Steven Tyler’s personal band—showing she could crush it in any genre, on any stage. But behind the music was a deeper journey: grieving her father, reclaiming her health, and coming back stronger than ever. Her new album, “I’m Not Who You Think I Am,” is raw, real, and full of hard-won truth. This is Rebecca—bold, honest, and completely unforgettable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this message, Coleton explores what it means to receive the kingdom of God like a child. Using the moment when Jesus welcomes little children while His disciples try to turn them away, Coleton highlights Jesus' radical teaching: only childlike people can experience the life of the kingdom. Coleton frames the teaching around three key qualities children naturally possess, which Jesus wants His followers to imitate—not childish immaturity, but childlike virtues: ⸻ 1. Be Dependent Like a Child Children depend on their parents for everything—food, comfort, direction, and provision. Coleton humorously illustrates this with a barrage of questions his son Teddy asks in just a few minutes, revealing how constant and uninhibited children are in their need. In contrast to earthly parents who eventually encourage independence, God never asks us to grow out of needing Him. Jesus invites us to stay needy, to come to Him when weary, and to cast all our cares on Him (Matt 11:28; 1 Peter 5:7). The quality of life we experience is directly connected to who or what we depend on—Jesus or ourselves. “Whoever or whatever we depend on determines the kingdom or kind of life we experience.” ⸻ 2. Trust Like a Child Children are quick to believe. Coleton recalls how children after seeing Peter Pan jumped off beds thinking they could fly. While not endorsing naivety, he urges us to trust Jesus like that—not because the logic always checks out, but because He is trustworthy. The Bible is full of people who experienced the kingdom of God because they took God at His word: Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Mary, and more. They didn't understand everything, but they obeyed—and saw God move. Many of Jesus' commands—love your enemies, forgive freely, give sacrificially—don't make sense to the adult mind. But childlike trust leads to experiencing divine results. The more we rely on our understanding, the less we see of God's kingdom. ⸻ 3. Submit to His Authority Like a Child Children live under authority. Their lives are shaped by rules and boundaries from parents. Coleton points out that while kids grow up and grow out of their parents' authority, we are never meant to grow out of God's authority. In Scripture, the people who experience miracles are those who do what Jesus says. Submission isn't loss—it's gain. Life under Jesus' authority leads to peace, joy, and blessing. “If you will let me lead you, submit to my authority—you will experience my rule and reign over your life. My rule and reign is peace and joy and love and hope.” ⸻ Final Contrast: The Childlike vs. The Adultlike Mark's story ends with a rich young man who walks away from Jesus sad because he can't be childlike. He can't depend, trust, or submit. He clings to his wealth and control. In contrast, the children in the story are scooped up into Jesus' arms. They receive more than they came for—His love, His blessing, and His presence. The message is clear: you can walk away sad or walk away scooped into the arms of Jesus. It depends on whether you're willing to be childlike. ⸻ Discussion Questions 1. Dependence: • What's one area of your life where you're trying to be independent when Jesus is asking you to depend on Him? • What would it look like to cast your cares on Him this week? 2. Trust: • Is there a command from Jesus that doesn't make sense to you right now—but you feel called to obey it anyway? • What keeps you from trusting Jesus fully? 3. Authority: • Where in your life are you resisting Jesus' authority? • How might your life be different if you submitted that area to Him? 4. Childlikeness vs. Adultlikeness: • In what ways have you grown out of childlike faith? • What would it look like to return to a posture of humility, dependence, and obedience? 5. Jesus on the Cross: • How does seeing Jesus on the cross give you confidence to depend on, trust in, and submit to Him? ⸻ Author Quotes Used in the Sermon “After the first production of the play, Peter Pan, The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (1904), I had to add something to the play at the request of parents. It was that no one would be able to fly until they received fairy dust. This was because many children had gone home and tried flying from their beds and needed surgical attention.” – J. M. Barrie ⸻ Scriptures Referenced • Mark 10:13–16 – Let the children come; receive the kingdom like a child. • Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me… I will give you rest.” • 1 Peter 5:7 – “Cast your cares on Him…” • Philippians 4:6 – “Don't worry, pray about everything.” • Luke 18:1 – “Pray and never give up.” • John 15:5 – “Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” • Isaiah 40:29–31 – “Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.” • Hebrews 4:16 – “Approach the throne of grace with confidence…” • James 1:5 – “If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask God…” • Proverbs 3:5 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart…” • Matthew 5 – “Love your enemies.” • Ephesians 4 – “Forgive as Christ forgave you.” ⸻ Closing Challenge Where in your life are you too adult for the kingdom of God? Jesus is inviting you back into His arms—into a life of dependence, trust, and obedience. The path to joy, freedom, and blessing is not found by being stronger, smarter, or more self-reliant—but by becoming childlike once again.

As a Jesus Follower, Do You Forgive Others Before They Forgive You, Just as Jesus Did for You on the Cross? MESSAGE SUMMARY: We modern-day Christians are bad about living in our bitterness towards others whom we believe have “wronged us”. However, in Luke 23:33-34, Jesus set the example and His expectations for the “forgiveness of others” when He sacrificed Himself on cross for us: “And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. And Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' And they cast lots to divide his garments.". We are great at putting on our Christian face for the public. On the other hand, we have someone in our lives, when even their name is mentioned, we become hateful and bitter towards this person in our actions and words. Jesus modeled what we are to do from the cross -- we are to forgive the person that elicits this kind of bitter response in our lives. We need to release this person and then get on with our lives. As Jesus said: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, help me to grab hold of you today. I need you. Set me free to begin reorienting my life around you, and you alone. Help me to pay attention to and honor how you have uniquely made me. Thank you for the gift of rest. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 122). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will entrust to Him my future. I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.

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 on the 178th day of our journey through the Bible, focusing on powerful stories from 2 Kings 13-14, 2 Chronicles 25, and 2 Timothy 3. Together, we'll encounter the rise and fall of Israel's and Judah's kings, their ongoing struggles with faithfulness, and God's unwavering mercy—despite their failures. Hunter also draws us into the wisdom of Paul's words to Timothy, reminding us of the power of Scripture to correct, heal, and equip us for every good work. As always, we'll be guided in prayer and reflection, encouraged to root our lives in the truth of the Gospel, and reminded that we are deeply loved. Settle in for a thoughtful, hope-filled time in God's Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What message are you listening to? Every day, our hearts and minds are being shaped by the messages we take in—some true, some painfully untrue. The world is full of voices: past experiences, the culture around us, even old wounds, all speaking into our lives, sometimes with words that harm and mark us, sometimes with words that heal. Paul tells us in his letter to Timothy that God uses Scripture—His Word—in our lives. The Word of God is more than just ancient text or religious teaching; it's profitable, Paul says. It's useful for teaching us truth, for pointing out what is wrong in our lives, and for correcting and training us in righteousness. Through Scripture, God offers us wisdom—wisdom that leads us to trust Christ and to receive salvation. The truth is, false messages will never lead us to life. They'll run us into the ground and hold us down. But the liberating message of the Gospel sets us free. God, through His Word, prepares and equips His people to do every good work. He brings healing where there have been wounds and roots us in what is real—His love, His truth, and the life of His Son. So, what kind of message are you building your life on today? Sink your roots deep into the truth of the Gospel: Christ lives in you. By the faith of the Son of God, you can change, you can be healed, even from the deepest wounds, here and now. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family—my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds, quiet our striving hearts and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today—not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love—through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O God of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathed life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold, and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power. Renew the face of the earth and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, Lord, let me be a bearer of your peace. Where voices divide, let me speak grace. Where fear takes root, let me plant trust. Where the world rushes on, let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb, but to kneel—not to win, but to love—not to grasp, but to give. For it is in emptying that we are filled, in surrender that we are strengthened, and in union with you that we find our truest joy. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. 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. OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.

On this week's episode of In The Circle, we're revisiting a critical aspect of recovery from Episode 64 - Forgiveness. In this episode, Mark brings us a topic that touches the core of many recovery journeys: self-forgiveness and building genuine self-confidence. Mark inquires: How can I learn to forgive myself and be confident in my self-worth?For those of us in recovery, particularly during the early stages, the act of forgiving ourselves can seem monumental. This inability to forgive often leaves us trapped in a cycle of persistent low self-esteem. Understanding and resolving these feelings is an important step on the path to recovery.It's an essential conversation for anyone struggling with guilt or shame and for those seeking insight into their journey towards healing.
