Friends, a great professor of mine at Mundelein Seminary, Dr. Richard Issel, once said, “If you want to be happy, stop worrying about being happy and get on with becoming fulfilled.” We find something similar in Jordan Peterson's observation that “self-consciousness is equivalent to misery.” In short, we're most unhappy when we're turned inward, fussing about ourselves. If you want to be psychologically healthy, forget about yourself and move out toward others. I always think of this when I come across our Gospel for today from the great Sermon on the Mount.

Read OnlineThe Apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” Mark 6:30–31When a person does something profound and meaningful for the first time, it's a memorable moment. When a child walks for the first time, parents are elated. When we graduate from high school or college, a natural sense of pride wells up. Weddings, the birth of a baby, an ordination, and many other important events mark the beginning of something new and fulfilling.Around the midpoint of Jesus' public ministry, some of Jesus' closest disciples experienced one of those consequential moments. Jesus commissioned the Twelve to go forth, two by two, to preach repentance in many towns and villages (cf. Mark 6:7–13). He gave them authority over unclean spirits, enabling them to cast out demons and heal the sick. While they had been firsthand witnesses to Jesus' ministry and His mighty deeds, this mission marked the first time they acted independently in His name, exercising His divine authority. It must have been an awe-inspiring experience, deepening their faith and understanding of their role in His mission.Today's Gospel recounts their return from their ministry. We can imagine that each of them wanted to tell stories about all that they did and how the power of God worked in and through them. For that reason, Jesus invited them to “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” That invitation was likely enthusiastically received, given the emotional and spiritual energy they had exuded and their desire to process their experiences together.Though the invitation was sincere, Jesus' formation of the Twelve was not complete. What happened next helped the Twelve to better understand the deeper meaning of the ministry they had just undertaken. Though the Twelve were excited to be with Jesus and the others once again, so was the crowd. Despite the Apostles' exhaustion, the people pressed in upon them, making it difficult for them even to eat. When Jesus took them by boat to another town, the people hurried to the place by foot and waited patiently for Jesus and the Twelve.When the Twelve saw the crowd, they understandably might have been somewhat agitated. They had hoped for some time of rest, yet the people were starving for the spiritual nourishment that only Jesus and His disciples could give. Instead of agitation, “When Jesus disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things” (Mark 6:34).Though the Twelve had a transforming experience preaching, healing, and casting out demons, Jesus' compassion for the crowds became their next crucial lesson. Their mission was not for their own sake or to marvel at the divine authority with which they ministered. It was about God's people, who were “like sheep without a shepherd.” Jesus wanted the Twelve to grasp the urgency of the mission they were entrusted with and the zeal required to fulfill it.Though we are not among the Twelve, each of us is entrusted with a mission. We must embrace it with the same zeal that Jesus showed in His ministry. While it is natural to feel tired and seek rest, supernatural zeal calls us to press on, to serve sacrificially, and to imitate Jesus' selfless compassion. Our mission must always reflect the heart of Christ, fostering in us the same compassion and love He modeled for all.Reflect today on the excitement the Twelve must have felt as they witnessed the crowd's hunger and thirst for spiritual nourishment. Consider your own mission of loving service—whether to your friends, family, community, or church. Are there moments when the demands on your time feel overwhelming, testing your patience and charity? In those times, strive to cultivate the compassion Jesus modeled for the Twelve, allowing His example to inspire you to respond with love, patience, and selfless care for others.My zealous Lord, You were tireless in Your preaching and unwavering in Your charity. The hunger and thirst of the crowd moved Your divine Heart with mercy and compelled You to shepherd Your people. Transform my heart to mirror Yours, filling me with supernatural zeal, so that I may never tire of serving those entrusted to my care. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Андрей Николаевич Миронов (A.N.

The episode also features a powerful reading from Acts 13, highlighting the bold ministry of Paul and Barnabas as they bring the message of Christ to both Jews and Gentiles. Through today's passages, Hunter draws connections between the ancient sacrificial system and the fulfillment of the law in Jesus, reminding us that our hope rests not in our own piety but in the grace given to us through Christ. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers and a call to embrace God's joy as our strength, reassuring us that we are deeply loved.

Join us as we navigate familiar and new territory, reflect on how Scripture shapes our lives, and together find encouragement for the journey ahead. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wherever the Gospel is preached, it'll either be received and welcomed or rejected and resisted. For some, it'll seem familiar and old, and for others, it'll seem brand new. Paul and Barnabas were being sent out, and the message about Christ was multiplying in the hearts of many. They were preaching to Jews primarily, taking them all the way back to Abraham and Moses—back through the exile, their deliverance from Egypt, through the wilderness, the institution of the Levitical and sacrificial system, through the prophets and kings. They took them back to something old and familiar. Out of this long story of God's people emerged God's man, the Messiah—God's man and his plan—Jesus, the one who would make the world right again. God sent his Son to give his life on behalf of the whole world. In his life, lived in perfect love, he fulfilled the law of God. He demonstrated absolute purity, holiness, righteousness, and justice. And then he died on a cross as a substitute sacrifice for us so that we might live. But he didn't just die for all—he was raised to new life for all. And now everyone can be freed from the penalty of sin and shame, from death and the grave. Now every human being can begin to walk in the new life given to them in Christ. This is the message they're preaching with all their heart and soul. And many are responding with joy. But many are resisting and rejecting this message. They resist because they had put their hope in their own piety and obedience to the law and not in God. But it's not only the pious who have a hard time with this—Christians have a hard time with this, too. Christians everywhere are tempted to trust in their own piety, their own self-effort, as a way to make themselves right with God. In the end, we end up frustrated, bitter, exhausted, and discouraged. It happens all the time. But this is not the message that we have been given. The message Paul was on fire to tell was that we are made right with God not by our own efforts or piety, but by what Christ has done for us. Ours is to believe, to say yes to what God has already done, and to walk in the power, the goodness, the joy, and the abiding presence of Christ himself. Live in the light, the strength, and joy of Christ in you. Be one who receives and rests in his life, not one who resists and rejects it. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul today. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

The King on a Cross - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 30 (John 19) by Shawn Ozbun

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260206dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Matthew 5:9 Peacemaking What is a peacemaker? A peacemaker is someone who steps into tension with a goal, not to win, not to escape, but to bring peace. That sounds noble. It also sounds exhausting. Especially when we remember that people are complicated and disagreements are real, and peace isn’t always welcome. So, Jesus’ words come to us both as a comfort and a challenge: “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Before we think about what it means for us to make peace, we need to start with the One who made peace with us. The Bible says that by nature we weren’t neutral toward God. We were actually opposed to him. Our sin created a war we couldn’t end. Yet God didn't stand at a distance, demanding that we make the first move. Instead, he sent his Son to reconcile us to himself. Jesus made peace not by ignoring sin but by carrying it. Not by pretending the conflict didn’t matter but by absorbing its full cost in his own body on the cross. His resurrection declared victory. Peace is now yours, fully and forever. That peace with God becomes the foundation for peace with others. Peacemaking doesn’t mean surrendering truth. It doesn’t mean allowing harm to continue or pretending wrong is right. It means approaching every person in conflict as someone who has been forgiven much and loved deeply. It means speaking truth without hostility, offering grace without conditions, and seeking understanding instead of retaliation. Peacemaking is often quiet and unseen, but Jesus sees it. And here is his promise: “They will be called children of God.” Not because peacemaking earns your place in God’s family, but because it reflects the character of the Father who brought you into it. Every act of peacemaking whispers that you are blessed to belong to the God who made peace with you through Christ. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for making peace between God and me. Give me a heart that is gentle, truthful, and willing to seek peace. Help me reflect your love in every conflict I face. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “What is God’s Will for My Life?” with a discussion about turning from the world and choosing to serve and fear the Lord. We turned to Joshua 24:15, where we see Joshua tell the Israelites that they must choose whom they will serve: the world or the Lord. Joshua made it very clear who he serves as he said, “But as for me and my household, we serve the Lord.” We then turned to the phone lines to ask listeners to share a time they had an “as for me” moment when they chose to serve the Lord over the idols of man. Then we had Dr. Erwin Lutzer join us to discuss how to see the sovereignty of God in the face of unanswered prayers and not get discouraged by them. Dr. Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of Moody Church. He is also the featured speaker on two radio programs: Running to Win and Songs in the Night. He also wrote several books, including his latest book, “Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayers?” Then we had Bill Gaither join us to discuss his experience and motivation for serving the Lord through music. He also spoke about the 2026 Then Came the Morning tour. Bill is a Grammy Award-winning artist and a pioneering figure in Gospel music, and is celebrated for both his songwriting and mentorship. He is also the founder of The Bill Gaither Trio and is known for penning over 700 gospel songs, including timeless classics like “Because He Lives.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Send us a textTeresa McMillan grew up in a Catholic home—but she didn't know what the Bible actually taught or what the Gospel truly meant. When her parents divorced, anger and rebellion took root. Teresa turned to partying, drinking, and destructive relationships, searching for freedom in all the wrong places.Everything changed when someone took the time to clearly explain the Gospel of Jesus Christ.After fully surrendering her life to Jesus, Teresa began experiencing freedom from the fear that had bound her since childhood. What followed was a radical transformation—from insecurity and fear to bold faith and obedience.Today, Teresa is a sold-out missionary with a calling to take the Gospel to all nations. She has already traveled to 83 of the world's 195 nations, including countries openly hostile to Christianity, boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus.In this powerful interview, Teresa shares her journey:From fear to boldnessFrom rebellion to surrenderFrom confusion to clarityFrom comfort to obedienceIf you've ever struggled with fear, uncertainty, or hesitation to fully follow Jesus, this testimony will encourage and challenge you.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgesslerfamilybandhttps://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerhttps://cash.app/$KarlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089357625739➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIXLrkKxwXkq3uA#Christiantestimony #Evangelism #Missionarystories #Christianity #DiscipleshipSupport the show

This week, I dive into a question that's sparked discussion both in my YSA Institute class and in my own study: What's the real difference between doctrine, policy, practice, and commandments—and why does it matter for our faith? From stories in the Old Testament to examples drawn straight out of modern Latter-day Saint experience, I explore why putting our confidence in eternal, unchangeable truths (doctrine!) can create a stronger, more resilient foundation for our spiritual life.If you've ever wondered why certain commandments and practices shift with time, but some truths never do, this episode is for you. We talk about how policies and commandments—like dietary laws or Sabbath customs—are designed to highlight deeper doctrines that never change, such as God's love for His children and the importance of caring for our bodies as temples of the Spirit. It's all about helping you find peace and clarity when church practices inevitably evolve.So as you refocus for a new month, let's dig deep and build our faith on those simple, profound doctrines at the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I want to hear your thoughts—how do you keep your foundation strong when everything else seems to shift? Let's keep the conversation going and, of course, don't forget to share some chocolate cake with someone who needs a little sweetness today.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Jesus Asks, Why Are You Afraid? Awakening Faith Within TheHomily reviews the Gospel account of Jesus calming the storm . . . . . . (Mark 4:35–41) with moral and spiritual lessons drawn from King David's repentance and everyday human experience. The disciples' fear during the storm reveals their fragile faith, even though Christ is present with them. Jesus' calm, even while asleep, demonstrates perfect trust in the Father and offers a model for finding interior peace amid life's storms. The Homily contrasts human judgment . . . quick to condemn others but slow to recognize personal sin . . . with David's humility in acknowledging his own wrongdoing. Sin, while forgivable, always leaves consequences, illustrated through the parable of nails hammered into a wall. The reflection urges self-awareness, repentance, and mercy. Awaken Christ Within You Ultimately, the Homily calls believers to awaken Christ within themselves through prayer and the sacraments, especially Confession and the Eucharist. True peace comes from allowing Jesus to dwell actively in one's heart, enabling courage, trust, and stability amid the storms of life. Listen to Jesus Asks, Why Are You Afraid?

This directly reflects the Homily's insight that fear arises when Christ is “allowed to sleep” within us, and that faith must actively awaken His presence through prayer and sacramental life.

Read OnlineKing Herod heard about Jesus, for his fame had become widespread, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead; That is why mighty powers are at work in him.” Others were saying, “He is Elijah”; still others, “He is a prophet like any of the prophets.” But when Herod learned of it, he said, “It is John whom I beheaded. He has been raised up.” Mark 6:14–16When a person sins seriously and refuses to repent, the damaging effects of that sin deepen over time, creating spiritual blindness and unrest. In contrast, repentance not only brings forgiveness, it allows God to transform the wounds of sin into instruments of grace, using even our failures for His glory.Herod is a prime example of how obstinacy magnifies the damage caused by sin. The first paragraph of today's Gospel takes place some time after Herod executed John. The rest of the Gospel recounts how Herod was manipulated into beheading John by Herodias, his illegitimate wife, and her daughter. While much could be said about John's execution and the good fruit borne by his ultimate testimony to the Truth, it is also helpful to reflect on Herod's pitiful state to learn from his failure in order to avoid a similar response to sin.As soon as Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan River, John's ministry began to decrease, as he himself acknowledged: “He must increase; I must decrease” (John 3:30). John's mission was one of preparation for the Messiah, calling people to repentance and pointing to the One who would bring salvation. Once Jesus began His public ministry, John's work was complete, and God permitted his arrest by Herod so that his martyrdom could become his greatest witness to Christ.Jesus' ministry was markedly different from John's. While John preached repentance and fearlessly rebuked Herod for his sinful relationship, Jesus' public ministry was marked not only by authoritative teaching but also by miraculous signs, including healings and even raising the dead. His fame spread quickly, reaching even Herod.When Herod heard about Jesus, he irrationally concluded that Jesus was John the Baptist raised from the dead. This reaction reveals Herod's inner turmoil. His erroneous belief was not borne of faith but of the torment of a guilty conscience. Herod had killed a holy man. His unresolved guilt blinded him to this truth and distorted his perception of Jesus, preventing him from recognizing the Messiah.Herod's tragic story reveals the universal danger of unrepentant sin, offering us a lesson about the destructive power of guilt and the healing grace of repentance. Unrepentant sin not only leads to further sin but also causes irrational thinking, fear, and paranoia. His guilt interfered with his ability to think clearly and rationally—not only about Jesus but likely about many other aspects of his life.Similarly, when we fall into serious sin, we are faced with two paths: repentance or obstinacy. Repentance opens the door to God's mercy, healing, and transformation. Through His grace, this path not only sets us free but also forms virtue within us and opens us to the spiritual gift of wisdom. Obstinacy, on the other hand, leaves us in spiritual unrest, deepening the wounds of sin. That path leads to self-destructive irrationality, confusion, and blindness. Reflect today on the importance of sincere and total repentance for past sins. Though difficult, an honest assessment of our sins and sincere repentance is the path to immediate freedom and eternal glory. We must understand and believe in the power of repentance. When we fall into sin, we must have the courage to face it, own it, and seek God's mercy. Learn from Herod by rejecting his example, and allow God's mercy to flood your life, eliminating the effects of a guilty conscience and leading you to peace and freedom. Most merciful Lord, I come before You as a sinner in need of Your infinite mercy. Free me from the spiritual blindness and obstinacy that prevent me from fully opening my heart to You. Grant me the courage to confess my guilt without fear, so that I may receive the forgiveness only You can give. By Your grace, transform my past sins into opportunities for Your glory, and turn my guilt into virtue through the gifts of Your Holy Spirit.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260205dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Matthew 5:7 Mercy If mercy were easy, Jesus wouldn’t have needed to preach about it. Mercy means showing compassion when it isn’t earned and giving kindness when it isn’t deserved. Mercy steps toward people who disappoint us, inconvenience us, or wound us, which are not usually moments when we feel particularly “blessed.” That is why Jesus’ words might surprise us: “Blessed are the merciful.” The world often views mercy as a sign of weakness. Jesus calls it evidence of a heart transformed by grace. To understand mercy, we start not with what we give, but with what we’ve been given. Think about the mercy Christ has shown you. He saw you long before you cleaned up your behavior or learned Christian vocabulary. He saw you tangled in sin, burdened by guilt, and unable to fix yourself. And instead of turning away, he drew near. Mercy carried him through dusty villages to the forgotten and the broken. Mercy led him to wash the feet of his disciples who would soon abandon him. Mercy moved him to pray for his executioners even as they drove nails through his hands. Mercy kept him on the cross, where he took the punishment you and I had earned so that we could receive the forgiveness we could never deserve. That is the mercy that saved you. And that mercy now shapes your life. When Jesus calls you blessed for showing mercy, he isn’t saying you earn God’s favor by being kind enough or forgiving enough. He is saying that those who know his mercy begin to reflect it. Mercy is not a task to perform but a fruit that grows in a heart touched by grace. The same mercy that met you at the cross meets you again every morning, covering your failures, lifting your spirit, and renewing your ability to show mercy to others. You give mercy because you live from mercy. And that makes you blessed indeed. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for the mercy you show me every day. Let your compassion soften my heart, guide my words, and shape my actions, so that others may see your love through me. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Dupre shares insights from his faith journey and highlights the importance of effective leadership in achieving sustainable change. This blog post delves into key takeaways from their discussion, offering valuable lessons for anyone looking to lead effectively.Understanding the ForgePoint ConceptRandall Dupre's ministry, ForgePoint, serves as a metaphor for transformation. He explains that a forge point is a pivotal moment where the right conditions come together, allowing for significant change. Just as metal is transformed in a forge, individuals and organizations can experience profound change when they embrace the right mindset and practices.A Journey of Faith and TransformationDupre's journey began at 15 when he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. Raised in a family with mixed religious backgrounds, his faith was not cultivated until he encountered a youth group that sparked his spiritual awakening. This experience ignited a passion for scripture and a desire to understand leadership through a faith-based lens. Dupre emphasizes the importance of personal transformation as a precursor to leading others effectively.The Importance of Leadership in Organizational ChangeThroughout his career in various manufacturing companies, Dupre observed that many transformation efforts failed due to a lack of effective leadership. He stresses that successful change is not merely about implementing tools or processes; it requires a culture of leadership that supports and sustains those changes. For instance, during his time at Boeing, a consulting firm highlighted that their organization was not ready for transformation due to cultural deficiencies. This revelation was a turning point for Dupre, leading him to focus on the intersection of leadership and faith.Key Leadership PrinciplesDupre draws inspiration from John Maxwell, who articulates that the best leaders embody principles demonstrated by Jesus. He believes that effective leadership begins with self-leadership, a concept he illustrates through personal anecdotes. Whether it's striving for personal goals or fostering a healthy organizational culture, leaders must set standards and hold themselves accountable. Dupre's belief is that where there are no standards, there can be no continuous improvement, echoing the principles of Kaizen in lean practices.Real-World Application: Case Study from BoeingRandall shares a significant experience from his tenure at Boeing, where he was tasked with leading a transformational change initiative. Despite hiring a prestigious consulting firm, the team discovered that without the right cultural foundation, their efforts would be futile. This scenario underscored the critical role of leadership in creating a conducive environment for change. Dupre's insights from this experience highlight
