Fr. Mike explains the importance of wisdom in our everyday lives when we face temptations to gossip, encouraging us in the battle for virtue, wisdom, and goodness. He emphasizes that we must ask the Lord for his wisdom to guide us as we interact with the people around us, just like the Jews prayed before battle. Today's readings are 1 Maccabees 7, Sirach 19-21, and Proverbs 22:22-25. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

From SEAL to Studio: The Art of Grit with Justin Hughes In this week's episode of the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus, Melanie, and Hunter sit down with Justin Hughes — former Navy SEAL turned professional oil painter — whose journey from the battlefield to the art studio embodies the essence of transformation, discipline, and creative courage. Based out of Charleston, South Carolina, Justin has redefined what it means to serve and to create. As a self-taught representational artist, he channels the lessons, emotions, and intensity of his time in the SEAL Teams into his paintings, merging the warrior spirit with the sensitivity of the fine arts. His mission is to bridge two seemingly distant worlds — the world of combat and the world of creativity — revealing that both demand vision, perseverance, and heart. Listeners will hear how Justin's childhood in Southeast Asia, and a fateful encounter with Lone Survivor sparked a dream that would change his life forever. His story takes us through the rigors of SEAL training, moments of doubt and triumph, and the eventual transition from military service to artistry — a path shaped by struggle, purpose, and redemption. Through his brushstrokes, Justin explores what it means to be a modern warrior — one who fights not only on the battlefield but also in the soul. Drawing comparisons to the renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci, Hughes uses his art to express the beauty within discipline and the strength found in vulnerability. In this episode you will hear: • My dad was a Huey pilot. (8:44) • I grew up all over Southeast Asia (9:20) • I was thinking: Whatever is gonna be the hardest thing to do in the military; wherever that realm is, those are the people that want to be in those jobs the most. That's gotta be where my people are at. (14:41) • One of the biggest misconceptions of BUDs is you can't just show up and not quit. You still have to be a good team guy. You still have to do the work. You gotta be a performer. You gotta be a pro. We're looking for the whole man. (21:05) • For those of you who don't know what pool competency is. It's the hardest single test in BUDs. (37:55) • When I first started painting, I didn't know any artists. I didn't know anything about art. (62:48) • [Melanie] Q: What's your goal with art? A: Just to be better every day. And continue to provide paintings that are meaningful to people. To glorify the Lord through whatever work I'm doing. (74:30) • I'm still saying “Hooyah! like turrets. (75:25) • It takes a lot of bad work. You've gotta be patient with the process. Sometimes a really good thing will look really bad for a long time for a long time before you can polish it up and make it into something beautiful. So… don't quit.

The beauty of faith is often found in its simplicity. You don't have to possess a wealth of theological knowledge to be captivated by the truth of the gospel. Maybe, like Rahab, you've simply heard what the Lord has done and you believe.
In this Bible Story, Jesus is making his way to Jerusalem, the place where he would make his final sacrifice. There, he tells several parables. He makes a fig tree wither, flipps over the tables of corrupt money changers in the temple and tells a parable about a landowner whose son is killed. This story is inspired by Mark 11:12-25; 12:1-12. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Mark 11:17 from the King James Version.Episode 207: As Jesus and His disciples walked into the temple gates, He saw once again a marketplace set up where the nations were meant to worship. Once again, man's greed was getting in the way of true worship. Jesus, furious at this corruption of what was supposed to be holy, cleansed the temple and kicked out the greedy. On the way back to Bethany, the disciples saw a fig tree that Jesus had cursed earlier that day. While there, Jesus gives them a lesson on prayer and us a lesson on looking healthy on the outside but being dead inside.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Paul encourages gentleness, peace, and humility toward all people. Paul then reminds Titus of their past, how they were once foolish and disobedient, but emphasizes the kindness and mercy of God, who saved them not by works but through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Justified by grace, believers are called to devote themselves to doing what is good. Paul warns against foolish controversies and divisive individuals who reject correction. These people are to be rejected. The letter closes with personal instructions and a call for believers to be productive and to meet urgent needs, ensuring that their lives reflect the fruit of grace. We were once lost, ruled by pride, anger, and selfish desires. We remember this not to shame ourselves, but to remain humble. God saved us through His astounding mercy. He washed us clean. He gave us new life through the Holy Spirit. We did nothing to earn it. We now live differently. We speak with kindness, choosing peace over arguments and divisive impulses. We pursue what is good, caring for others with urgency. We meet needs without delay, showing the world what grace has done in us. We remain devoted to good works, reflecting the goodness of God not only in belief but in action. We live purposefully, expecting others to be loving unifiers, because we have all been changed. Ever-present God, thank You for saving us, not because of what we have done, but because of who You are. Your kindness changed everything. You washed us clean. You gave us new life through the Holy Spirit. Help us to live in a way that honors that mercy. Teach us to speak with grace, to act with compassion, and to pursue what is good. Keep us from arguments that divide and distractions that weaken our identity in Jesus Christ. Let our lives reflect the beauty of Your grace and Your powerful renewal. May good works flow from hearts transformed by You. Thought Questions: How does your attitude toward the governing authorities and powerful entities show others the value of Jesus and His kingdom in your life? Has the Holy Spirit renewed you, and has He been poured upon you richly through Jesus Christ? How will your life show this beautiful truth? Do Christians sometimes dispute and divide in ways that displease Jesus? How do you handle disagreements to ensure unity and love endure?

Read OnlineWhen Jesus left, the scribes and Pharisees began to act with hostility toward him and to interrogate him about many things, for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say. Luke 11:53–54Over the past few days, we have been reading Saint Luke's version of Jesus' “Woe to you” rebukes of the scribes, Pharisees and the scholars of the law. Today's Gospel concludes these rebukes of love by pointing out that these religious leaders did not convert. Instead, they began plotting against Jesus so as to “catch him at something he might say.” This is what happens when people use God's holy law as a weapon to attack.Normally, we take inspiration from the Holy Scriptures in a positive way, meaning, by reflecting upon Jesus' words and actions and applying them to our lives. However, we can also learn from the evil others commit and allow their actions to inspire us to avoid their sin. In today's Gospel, we are invited to ponder the obsessive plotting of these religious leaders so as to consider whether we also are guilty of their sin.First, note that at the conclusion of Jesus' rebukes, these religious leaders “began to act with hostility” toward Jesus. Normally, when we act with hostility toward another, it is done with the mindframe that we are right and they have done something wrong. We justify our hostility by pointing to their perceived sin. However, it must be understood that every act of hostility on our part is a clear indication that we have started down the road of sin and are not justified in our obsession.Notice also that these religious leaders exercised their hostility toward Jesus by interrogating Him. In other words, in their anger, they kept asking Him questions so as to find some fault with Him. They tried to trick Him and trap Him with their speech using God's very Law handed down through Moses and the prophets. But they manipulated that Law so as to justify their hostility and, out of pride, to falsely accuse Jesus.Think about any times in your life in which you found yourself somewhat obsessed with what you judged to be the sin of another. Hostility in this case can even be passive, meaning you may present a kind disposition on the surface, but interiorly you are obsessively thinking about how you can condemn the person. Often when this happens, we can feel justified in that we convince ourselves that justice must be done and that we are the dispensers of that justice. But if God is in control of our lives, He will not call us to obsessive plotting in regard to another. Instead, when we are following the will of God, we will sense Him inspiring us to act with immediacy, calm, joy, kindness, honesty, and freedom from all anger and obsession. Reflect, today, upon any way that you have seen this misguided tendency within your own life. If you can identify a time when you struggled with hostility toward another, look at the fruit it bore. Was God glorified through your actions? Did this leave you at peace or agitated? Were you fully objective in your thinking? Be honest with these questions and you will begin to discover the road to freedom from such obsessive thinking. God wants you to be at peace. If there is injustice, trust that our Lord will sort it out. You, for your part, must continually work to forgive, act with charity, and direct your attention to the will of God as it is gently presented to you. My patient and kind Lord, You were falsely accused and condemned by many of the religious leaders of Your time because You spoke the pure truth with love, clarity and boldness. When I act with hostility and anger toward another, help me to turn from these sins so that I will never condemn, never judge and never manipulate Your divine Law for my own purposes. Fill me with Your peace and charity alone, dear Lord. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Duccio di Buoninsegna, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

The final prophecy against a particular nation is a doozy, proclaiming total annihilation and ruin and spanning two long chapters, one of which is the fifth longest chapter in Scripture. Who could this prophecy be against? What nation's actions would merit such a rebuke? If you guessed Babylon, you are right! Though the Lord allowed Babylon to attack His own people and send them into exile, Babylon is still responsible for their own sin and their own actions. By God's design, his people are punished because of their ongoing sin and rebellion, but Babylon is punished more so because of their idolatry and wickedness. This is a long episode so plan accordingly.Jeremiah 51 - 1:12 . Jeremiah 52 - 16:45 . Psalm 123 - 23:36 .

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 together we journey through the Scriptures and discover the heart of God for our lives. In today's episode, Host Hunter leads us through readings from Nehemiah 13, Malachi 1–2, and Acts 4, exploring themes of faithfulness, boldness, and the transformative power of God's Spirit. As we witness dramatic moments like the shaking of the early church's meeting place and the call to live lives of generosity, selflessness, and hope, we're invited to let the Spirit shake things up in our own hearts—especially as we approach seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Join us as we pray for boldness, reflect on the meaning of true worship, and are reminded once more that every single person is deeply loved by God. Grab your Bible, settle in, and let's step into the story together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There's a whole lot of shaking going on. Peter and John return to their community after being interrogated and threatened for boldly declaring the name of Jesus. These men, considered ordinary and untrained, stood before powerful religious leaders and testified to the truth of Christ resurrected. And after this confrontation, after choosing faithfulness over fear, they come back to their friends—and something remarkable happens: as they pray together, the whole place is shaken. They are filled again with the Holy Spirit and preach the word of God with boldness. What does this tell us? Wherever the Spirit of God is, things get stirred up—hearts are awakened, priorities are shifted, lives are refocused away from self and toward others. This is the story of the early church, but it's meant to be our story too. God hasn't stopped shaking things up. When we pray for boldness, for selflessness, for generosity, God answers. He fills us with the courage to embody the hope of Christ, just like he did with those first believers. As we look ahead to a new season—the holidays, filled with hopes, distractions, and busyness—it's time to invite God to shake things up in our own hearts. The message we carry is one of joy and peace: “Joy to the world, the Lord has come. Peace on earth, goodwill toward men. Emmanuel, God is with us.” These aren't just sentiments to be remembered in December—they're truths meant to be lived out, to become visible as we let God's Spirit work through us. Let's make this a season where we pray deeper, where we ask for boldness to declare that every single person is loved by God. May God's joy be our strength, his Spirit our guide, and may we become heralds of hope—proclaiming with our words and our lives that Jesus is risen, that he is present, and that his kingdom life is available to all. That's my prayer for my own soul, for my family, and for you. May God shake things up—in us, and through us. 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.

Health and wellness can be beneficial, but they often cross into idolatry when they become focused on self-glorification, fear of death, or cultural standards of beauty. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss how Christians can navigate this tension, emphasizing that while caring for the body is important, it should never replace worship of the Lord. The guys point out that gluttony has long been overlooked in the church, yet food can become just as much of an idol as the pursuit of beauty or fitness. They also highlight the dangers of chasing eternal youth through the wellness industry or mixing health practices with pagan philosophies that promise salvation apart from Christ. At the same time, they affirm the value of exercise, rest, and discipline when pursued as stewardship of the body and a way to serve God and others. Ultimately, the guys encourage believers to examine their motives, avoid extremes, and treat their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit rather than idols, seeking to glorify God in all things.Send us a textThanks for listening!

A gentle and quiet spirit isn't weakness. It is strength under God's control. It reflects trust in His sovereignty, not striving to be seen or heard. This kind of beauty doesn't fade with age. It is lasting, Christlike, and precious in God's sight (1 Peter 3:3–4). If you're struggling to cultivate this spirit in your own life, you're not alone. Ask the Lord to grow it in you. Spend time in His Word. Look to Christ. He is gentle and lowly in heart, and He is faithful to complete the work He begins in us.

In this Bible Story, we learn about the triumphal entry of Jesus. People make way for Jesus to take over as king over Israel. However, Jesus is not the king he expects. They expected him to sit on a throne and overthrow Rome. However Jesus is coming to hang on the cross and overthrow sin. This story is inspired by John 12:1-11; Matthew 21:1-11 & Luke 19:39-40. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Matthew 21:9 from the King James Version.Episode 206: As Jesus was reclining at the house of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, Mary came up to Him and poured a full bottle of spikenard on His head and feet. The ointment was very expensive and Judas Iscariot was agitated at the waste of money. The next day Jesus expressed his plan to go to Jerusalem. His disciples fetched a donkey for Him and as He approached the city, thousands upon thousands of people worshiped and welcomed Him with praises. He was the King that they were hoping for. But He would rule in a way that none of them expected.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

For over 30 years, Ken Isaacs has (literally) run into the fires of war, genocide, and natural disaster around the world. Serving with Samaritan's Purse alongside my dad, Ken has seen and experienced evil so total, contrasted by miracles that have no explanation outside of the hand of God. Today on Fearless Ken shares the heart behind his new book—Running to the Fire—plus what led him to a life spent serving the Lord and going where God has called, even when there are no roads. From witnessing genocide in Rwanda to negotiating with warlords in Afghanistan, Ken talks about some of the experiences that have shaped a life spent saying yes to God. But in addition to those unbelievable stories, Ken also shares the childhood experiences that prepared his heart for a life spent on mission, the struggles missionary families often face, and why he's never afraid to lead with the Gospel, even in the most hostile of environments. Ken's life of obedience should inspire each of us to trust God and His timing, whether we're called to serve across the world or simply across the hallway of our own homes.

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Good 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)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comTitus 2 Titus is directed to teach sound doctrine and guide various groups within the church in how to live godly lives. Older men are to be temperate, worthy of respect, and self-controlled. Older women are to live reverently and train younger women to love their families and live pure, kind, and submissive lives. Young men are urged to be self-controlled, and Titus himself is called to be an example in integrity, seriousness, and sound speech. Slaves are instructed to be trustworthy and respectful, so that the teaching about God will be attractive to others. Paul reminds all believers that the grace of God has appeared with a tremendous promise of redemption and salvation, teaching disciples to say no to ungodliness and to live upright lives as we await Christ's return. Christians are reminded that sound teaching is not only about knowledge but also about how we live each day and reflect Jesus in relationships. We are part of a community where each generation matters, and we are responsible for guiding, encouraging, and modeling godliness for one another. Our conduct should reflect the grace we have received, showing the world a different way: one marked by self-control, love, and integrity. We do not live for ourselves alone; our words and actions shape how others see Christ. God's grace saves and purifies us, but also trains us in good works. As we wait for Christ's return, we must live purposefully, rejecting what is empty and clinging to what is good and eternal. Merciful Lord, we thank You for the grace that not only saves us but also teaches us how to live faithfully. Shape our hearts to value what is true and to walk in a way that honors You. Help us to be examples of love, purity, and self-control in every season of life. Let us guide one another with wisdom and humility, building a community that protects and edifies. Teach us to say no to what is empty and yes to what is holy. As we wait for Christ's return, may our lives be marked by gratitude and zeal. Thought Questions: What are the “things which are fitting for sound doctrine” in this chapter? How is it focused on relationships and the treatment of others? Why is it important for younger and older Christians to spend time together? Is this intergenerational relationship-building important to you? How has the grace of God changed your life? What has God done for you, and what expectations does He have for your life in Christ?

Today’s Bible Verse:"Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand." — Isaiah 53:10 Sometimes, God’s will doesn’t look like victory—it looks like suffering. Isaiah 53:10 reminds us that even Jesus’ pain had divine purpose. The crushing wasn’t the end; it was the beginning of redemption.

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
Send us a textThis week, I'm celebrating the first birthday of my novel, A Seat at the Table. Just as the songs I feature each week point readers back to Scripture, I wrote my book to do the same. Joy's story may be fictional, but the truths she wrestles with are very real. Together, let's use elements of her journey to launch us into Scripture as we consider the authority of God's Word and how we can apply it to our lives.In this episode, we dive into David's story in 1 Chronicles. At first, David relies on his mighty men for advice on moving the Ark of the Covenant—but he doesn't consult God's Word. The result is tragic. Later, David pauses, goes back to the Scriptures, and discovers God's clear instructions. His course correction reminds us that our good intentions aren't enough—we need God's truth to guide us.Key PointsJoy's struggle is our struggle: She longs for guidance but keeps choosing the wrong voices because she doesn't have a firm biblical standard.The Authority of Scripture: God's Word isn't just helpful—it is the inspired Word of God, sufficient to guide our decisions and shape our worldview.David's lesson in 1 Chronicles 13: Like Joy, David consulted wise advisors and thought he was doing the right thing, but he failed to seek God's way through God's Word.A holy pause: When life goes sideways, pause, take your questions before the Lord, and let His Word bring clarity and direction.Additional ResourcesDownload the free Episode GuideMichelle's guest appearance on The Company podcast - YouTube LinkA Seat at the Table - a Christian Redemption Novel by Michelle Nezat - Amazon Paid LinkBible Interaction Roadmap Bible Study - videos and assignments that will equip you with habits you can use over and over in your own Bible Study - Learn MoreLearn more about my favorite Bible Study Software with a 30-day free trial and links to my favorite Bible resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeRead 1 Chronicles 10-16 to get the full context of what is happening with David and the Ark of the Covenant.

Read OnlineThen one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, “Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too.” And he said, “Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.” Luke 11:45–46This scholar of the law had been listening to Jesus firmly rebuke the Pharisees. As he listened, his own conscience was pricked, and he challenged our Lord. What does Jesus do? He quickly and firmly rebukes the scholar of the law, pointing out that the scholar uses the law to impose heavy burdens on people. Jesus did not back down in this rebuke of love. Instead, He directed it to the very place that His rebuke was bearing fruit: in the conscience of this scholar of the law.This experience of the scholar of the law teaches us two important lessons. First, we learn from him the importance of paying attention to our conscience when it is “pricked.” Second, it teaches us that when this happens, it is very easy to become defensive.What is it that pricks your own conscience? Think back over the past month and reflect upon anything that you became defensive about. Did something someone said bother you? If so, pay attention to this. Sometimes we are bothered for reasons other than our own sin. But oftentimes, what actually bothers us is that we come face-to-face with some sin with which we struggle, and we do not want to admit it.What if this scholar of the law would have listened to Jesus and, instead of being offended, became grateful for Jesus' words? What if he would have humbly looked at his own life and realized that he was also guilty of the very things that Jesus was condemning the Pharisees for? If he would have done that, he would have been put in a position to sincerely examine his actions and begin a process of change. But this is hard to do. Reflect, today, upon anything that has recently offended you. Be honest and admit that it is often the case that when God presents you with your sin through some means such as the loving rebuke of another, you must work diligently to overcome any pride. And when you feel defensive, you must immediately see that as an indication that there is something in your life that you need to change. A pricked conscience is a gift from God. Rejoice when that happens, rather than being offended, and you will discover one of the best ways by which you can grow in holiness of life by becoming free of the very sin our Lord is presenting to you. My challenging Lord, You are constantly speaking to me in various ways. Sometimes You are gentle, and at other times You lovingly rebuke me. Please help me to see my sin. As I do, I pray that I will not become defensive or dismissive, rationalizing my erroneous actions. May I learn to rejoice in all that You say to me, especially when You speak Your rebukes of love. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Jacob Jordaens, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

As noted in our last episode, we're now in the section of Jeremiah that includes prophecies against individual nations. These prophecies were gathered over the course of Jeremiah's life and have been collected here at the end of his account. The overarching theme of these chapters is that the Lord sees the injustice and disgrace of the surrounding nations, and they will not escape his wrath and judgment. In some cases, the Lord says that he will restore the nation, but in other cases, the nation will become a perpetual ruin.Jeremiah 49 - 1:12 . Jeremiah 50 - 11:45 . Psalm 121 - 24:33 .

Our country's magnificent National Park System has been called “America's greatest idea.”These 433 treasures – along with our rich diversity of national museums and historical sites – each have their own stories to tell. But the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, for together they express America's egalitarian sprit and “little-d” democratic possibilities, urging us to keep pushing for economic fairness and social justice for all.And that's exactly why Trump and his cabal of moneyed elites and right-wing extremists are out to purge, erase and officially censor the parks' historical presentations. After all, it's hard to impose plutocratic autocracy if such tangible examples of historic truth and democratic rebellion are openly displayed!Thus, as dictated by the GOP's secretive anti-democracy clique, Project 2025, Trump's ideological Thought Police have set themselves up as an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth” to sanitize and Disneyfy the telling of our people's real history. For example, Trump complains that parks and museums hurt America's self-image by telling “how bad slavery was.”Hello, Donald – that's not an image, it's reality, as central to our national character as our historic commitment to equality. And the explosive conflict between ugly repression and flowering egalitarianism is ever present today. Consider the push by Sen. Eric Schmitt and others in the GOP's Christian Nationalist movement to deny the unifying principle that “all men are created equal.”There's not enough whitewash in the world to cover up the deep ugliness of slavery, and it's self-destructive for government to try. The fundamental purpose of recording our shared history is to learn from it.Do something!You might've heard about the Alt National Park Service, but they might not be quite who they say they are, as it turns out.

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—your companion for this 14th day of October, as we journey together through the Bible on day 288 of the year. I'm Hunter, your host, joining you and listeners from around the world as we gather to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. In today's episode, we explore Nehemiah chapters 11 and 12, delving into the resettlement of Jerusalem and the dedication of its walls with joy, song, and thanksgiving. We meditate on the wisdom of Psalm 1, reflecting on what it means to be rooted and nourished in God's word. Then, we witness a miraculous moment in Acts 3, where Peter and John encounter a man lame from birth at the temple gate—an encounter that becomes an invitation to new life through the power of Jesus. Join me as we move beyond the gates of expectation into the fullness of God's love and restoration. Let's settle in, open our hearts, and discover together what God wants to show us today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He can take us beyond the beautiful gate—into life itself. The story in Acts 3 is the story of a man who sat daily outside the temple, unable to enter, always stopping just short of where life and the presence of God dwelled. He expected so little—asking only for a few coins from those passing by. Yet, when Peter and John arrive, the unexpected happens. Peter says to him, "I don't have any silver or gold for you, but I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk." And in that moment—through the living power of Christ—the man rises, not only from his physical brokenness, but beyond his limitations, into the temple, leaping and praising God. His friends couldn't get him through that gate. Moses and the prophets could not take him beyond. Our own strength and the expectations we settle for—none of it is enough to move us past the barriers that hold us back from God's life. But Jesus can. Through Peter, Jesus saw him, healed him, and took him farther than he ever imagined—past the gate, into the temple, into joy, into the life that God gives. This is the story not just for that man, but for all of us. How often do we sit outside the gates, hoping for a little relief, expecting so little, feeling stuck or limited by what we see or believe about ourselves? Yet Jesus meets us there, sees us completely, and calls us to rise—to walk with him into life, into restoration, into the fullness we were made for. He is the one who brings us in, who restores our souls, who lifts us far beyond anything we thought possible. He calls us to stand, to walk upright, to leap with joy. Let the abiding life of Christ lift you up and take you in—far past any gate, far past what you thought possible. Receive what Jesus has for you today—not just the small things you expect, but the abundance of life he gives. That's a prayer I have for my own soul, for my family, for my wife and daughters and 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.

Special effects companies are masters at building small models of railroads or high rises or mountain ranges. But in the movie theater, they seem huge – they fill the screen! Could it be that our problems only LOOK big? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see our challenges through the lens of faith.

On today's episode of Theology Simply Profound, Rob and Bob continue to walk through the Book of Daniel. We discuss the faithfulness of God's people in the midst of fiery trials. In Daniel 3, King Nebuchadnezzar is furious with Shdrach, Meshach, and Abednego for not bowing down to the giant golden statue of the king. Their punishment is to be thrown into a furnace heated 7 times greater than normal. In the face of this death sentence, the three friends of Daniel trust their God no matter what may come. In the midst of it all, the Lord proves faithful even as he is with them in the midst of the fire in the person of the pre-incarnate Son of God.
