In What Does the Lord Require of Us?, Megan J. Conner reminds us that amid the noise of modern life, God’s call to His people has always been simple: love Him and love others. Reflecting on Micah 6:8 and Matthew 22:36–39, this devotional breaks down what it truly means to live justly, practice kindness, and walk humbly with God in a world that often prioritizes self over service. Highlights The Lord’s requirements are clear: act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him. Jesus summarized the Ten Commandments into two essentials—love God and love others. True love is more than emotion; it’s a daily practice of justice, compassion, and humility. Kindness requires intentional effort, especially when distractions or pride take center stage. Walking humbly keeps our hearts aligned with God’s grace and reminds us that all are equal before Him. Join the Conversation What does it look like for you to live out Micah 6:8 today?

When life feels like it’s falling apart, Megan J. Conner reminds us in Salvation and Strength that true peace isn’t found in control, hustle, or quick fixes—it’s found in surrender. Drawing from Isaiah 30:15, this devotional calls believers to embrace repentance, rest, quietness, and trust as the pathway to strength and salvation. Even when the world shakes, God remains steady, guarding, guiding, and granting peace to those who rest in Him. Highlights Isaiah 30:15 teaches that salvation and strength come through repentance, rest, quietness, and trust—not striving. When everything feels unstable, God remains our unshakable source of peace and protection. Biblical examples like Joseph, Elijah, and Esther reveal that deliverance often comes through stillness and surrender. Our efforts can fuel anxiety, but rest allows God to work on our behalf. Silence is powerful—when we quiet distractions, we can hear God’s gentle whisper and receive renewed strength. Join the Conversation Where do you turn when your world feels unsteady? How has God met you in moments of stillness and surrender? Share your reflections with @LifeAudioNetwork and encourage others to find strength in quiet trust.

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 we journey through the Scriptures together each day, warming our hearts by the fire of God's love. In today's episode, we mark the 275th day of our journey as Hunter, your host and Bible reading coach, guides us through Zechariah chapters 13 and 14, Psalm 147, and Luke 15. Today's reading brings us messages of hope, restoration, and the unyielding pursuit of God's love. We hear of God's promise to cleanse and restore His people in Zechariah, the healing power and compassion of the Lord in Psalm 147, and, in Luke 15, the unforgettable parable of the prodigal son—a moving reminder that God is a Good Father and Shepherd who finds and welcomes the lost, whether they are far away or standing just outside the door. Through prayer, reflection, and devotion, this episode centers on the theme that no matter where we find ourselves—lost in weakness, pride, or longing—God's heart is always for us, inviting us to come home and join the celebration of redemption. So settle in as we open the Scriptures, discover fresh encouragement, and remember above all: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Boys coming home. Both lost. Both slaves. One to his lusts and appetites, one to his pride. But God has a way of finding lost things. Just before this story, Jesus tells a parable of a lost sheep. He says God is like a good shepherd who finds lost sheep, brings them home on his shoulders, calls his friends together, throws a party because what was lost has now been found. And that's what we see with the younger brother. We're told he came to his senses—he saw something in his father, even from a long distance away, and so he comes home. But the good father, the good shepherd, still has some work to do. There's one lost sheep still to go. The older brother. He's lost too—not in his lusts and appetites, but in pride. Pride has drawn him to a distant land, far from his father's heart. And unlike his younger brother, he hasn't come to his senses yet. He's still lost. Of all the ways to be lost, this is perhaps the most tragic. And in the Father's words, we hear his broken and pleading heart: My dear son, all I have is yours. Come to your senses. My heart overflows for you. Don't let pride stand in the way, blinding you from your home and my heart. I'm standing right in front of you. God is a good father and a good shepherd, and he's always pursuing our hearts. You might come to your senses and see him from far off, or you might find him standing outside your own home. Either way, he's a good father, a good shepherd. He won't stop until he's found what he's looking for—until we are fully alive and come to join him in the party. So see your good father today. See the good shepherd today. See how he's always pursuing your heart—even today. He always has these words for you: My dear son, my dear daughter, all I have is yours. So come, let's join the party. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Understanding God's heart as someone who is kind, gentle, loving  peaceful, and joyful can govern how we think about our life and circumstances. Listen and discover he is a good good father and someone we can always depend on. 

Every child looks to their father not only for provision but also for presence. Many dads ask the question: how to be a good father in a world full of distractions? Phones, screens, and endless demands compete for attention. Yet Scripture points us back to a clear truth: being a good father begins with faith, love, and intentional time with your children.

The Good Father - Part 3 of the series.

This week Marc teaches from Hebrews 12 about our Good Father who disciplines us. Marc clarifies that this discipline is not about spiritual practices, punishment, or consequences. Rather, the discipline is a spiritual condition that comes to form us  into the image of Christ.Through discipline, we will be confronted by God in prayer, in reading Scripture, and through wise and godly friends. Marc encouraged us to find at least one person who will help us be faithful to Christ.

Blessed Father's Day to all our amazing fathers and father figures! Today, we unpack a familiar story in the Bible that Jesus tells about a particular father–a good father. Through the father in his story, Jesus illustrates the heart of our Father in Heaven. We pray that you will gain a fresh revelation of our Heavenly Father and a fresh vision of what it means for us to be fathers and father figures in the lives of others! Stick around as we hear from a panel of fathers from our church, sharing their lessons, challenges, and stories of God's goodness in their journey of fatherhood. We hope you have a blessed service!

Last week we uncovered the original narcissist—the father of lies, the enemy of our souls. He manipulates, gaslights, and deceives, but Jesus shows us a better way. In this message, Pastor John shares how to re-route your thinking when fear and selfishness threaten to take control. Discover how conflict often comes from our fear of not getting what we want or losing what we have, and how Jesus calls us to trust the Good Father instead of clinging to possessions, pride, or control. Through the story of Naboth's vineyard, the teachings of Jesus, and the promises of Romans 8, we learn how to live free from fear, stop reacting to threats, and walk in peace knowing nothing can separate us from God's love. Key Points: Conflict happens when selfishness collides. Fear of losing or not getting drives most of our struggles. Rerouting your thinking means choosing truth over fear. Trust the Good Father for justice, timing, and provision. Nothing—absolutely nothing—can separate us from the love of Christ. Scriptures: Matthew 5:40–42, 1 Kings 21, Romans 8:31–39, Matthew 16:24–26 If this message encourages you, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to hear more teachings that help you build meaningful, lasting relationships God's way.

Megan J. Conner reminds us that even in our deepest trials, God is at work revealing Himself to us. Drawing from the story of Job, she explores how suffering—though painful and bewildering—can lead to a greater understanding of God’s majesty, faithfulness, and love.

Alexis A. Goring reminds us that when we mess up, God meets us with compassion, grace, and mercy—not condemnation. Reflecting on a personal story from her time at Williams-Sonoma, Alexis draws a beautiful parallel to how God gently asks, “Are you okay?” before addressing our mistakes. Through Scripture and the inspiring song “Savior to Me” by Kerrie Roberts, she highlights God’s enduring love and His desire to restore what feels broken. ✨ Highlights The power of compassion over condemnation when we make mistakes How God’s heart is like a caring friend who checks on us first (“Are you okay?”) Biblical assurance of God’s mercy and grace that renews every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23) The hope found in Jesus Christ, the Savior who understands our pain and restores us A reminder that God can heal what we thought was permanently broken

Megan J. Conner reminds us of the incredible truth that the Creator of the universe calls us His own. Through Scripture like 1 John 3:1 and Romans 8:17, we’re invited to embrace our identity as beloved sons and daughters of God.

So what are you staring at? To answer that question well is to live rich. I have titled this message living rich. The Good News we proclaim is Jesus invitation to become rich toward God is not achievement or the accumulation of good behavior but in the storing up of what is true - we have a Good Father whose intent is to provide and protect us that we can trust. That Father wants to protect us from what can in the end control and take His most treasured gift to us - life. That life is found not storing but in giving what we have been freely given - love, mercy, compassion and forgiveness.

Hey friends,This episode is a love letter to the incredible men who've shaped me—and so many of us—through their steady presence, quiet strength, and unconditional love. I'm reflecting on the impact of fathers, and sharing some personal stories about my own dad and the beautiful lessons I've learned from the way he showed up in my life.We talk about what it really means to be a father—not just biologically, but emotionally and spiritually. Whether it's a dad, a stepdad, an adoptive father, or a father figure, the influence these men have on our confidence, our resilience, and our sense of self is immeasurable.I truly believe that when fathers are engaged, loving, and supportive, it creates a ripple effect that touches every part of a child's life—from emotional well-being to academic success. And it's not just about the kids—great fathers are incredible partners, too. I've seen that firsthand in my own marriage and in the lives of friends who are raising children with men who show up every single day.This episode is full of love, gratitude, and celebration. It's for the dads who are doing the work, who are present and consistent, and who might not always hear how much they matter—but they do. So much.With love,DianaTakeawaysFathers play a crucial role in children's emotional and academic success.Strong male figures provide stability and support in families.Personal experiences shape our understanding of fatherhood.Engaged fathers positively impact their children's lives.Fatherhood comes in many forms: biological, adoptive, and stepfather.A good father is a steady presence in a child's life.Celebrating the efforts of fathers is essential.Parenthood is about active involvement, not just babysitting.Having a supportive partner enhances parenting experiences.Fatherhood is a significant and rewarding responsibility.Keywordsfatherhood, parenting, strong men, family support, father figures, emotional impact, childhood memories, engaged parenting, blended families, importance of fathers
