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—June 20th, 2025—we journey through Second Kings, chapters 4 and 5, Psalm 83, and First Timothy, chapter 2. Host Hunter guides us through powerful stories of miracles, faith, and God's provision. We'll hear about Elisha's compassion as he brings hope to a struggling widow, restores life to a grieving mother's child, purifies a poisoned meal, and heals the mighty Naaman of leprosy. As we reflect on these acts, we see vivid foreshadowings of Christ—the one true Mediator who brings life and reconciliation. Alongside these narratives, we explore prayers from Psalm 83 and mindful instructions from First Timothy on worship, prayer, and living a godly life. Join us as we open our hearts to what the Spirit is saying, seek God's presence in prayer, and are reminded—no matter where we are or what we face—that we are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There is only one man who can make things right. The woman of Shunam knew this deep in her soul. In her hour of loss and grief, when her boy had died, she didn't want just anyone—she sought after the man of God. Gehazi, Elisha's servant, or anyone else simply wouldn't do. She believed, against all hope, that somehow this one man could bring her son back to life, could set things right that had gone terribly wrong. And Elisha did something unexpected. He went up to the lifeless boy, stretched himself out face to face, hand to hand, eye to eye over the child. It is as if Elisha was absorbing the death of the boy into himself so that the child could be restored to life. What a powerful image—a man of God bridging the gap between death and life. But this isn't just about one miracle centuries ago. It's a living picture pointing forward to another man who would come and absorb death—not just for one boy, but for the whole world. Jesus, the true Man of God, stepped into our story. He absorbed our sin, our sorrow, our death into himself upon the cross. He defeated death, and with tender care, draws us into his life—face to face, hand to hand, eye to eye. In him, we experience resurrection even now, the beginning of eternal life. Paul, in today's reading, reminds us: “For there is one God and one mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.” Jesus stands alone as the One who can bridge the gap, the only One able to make things right between us and God. His resurrection life is offered to us. His victory over death is our hope, our foundation, our future. May God open our eyes to see that death has been defeated. May we recognize the One who stands before us, calling us into a resurrected life—today and always. 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: Almighty and ever loving God you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And our Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift. To bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. 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 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.

My most recent guest, Russell Harvey, talked with me about resilience. In fact, he defines resilience this way: “Resilience is the ability to cope with life's challenges and become stronger as a result.”What if we apply that definition specifically to interpersonal conflicts? A viewpoint that we can improve our “ability to cope with life's conflicts and become stronger as a result”, to echo Russell's words. I would say that it's worth a try. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest? An idea or question about conflict management or conflict resolution?

Old rules. New love. Hebrews 8–9 introduces the New Covenant—a better way built on grace, not law. Jesus, our Mediator, invites us into a relationship of freedom, forgiveness, and love.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 12th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Genesis 9:13: “I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.” Then we go to the Book of Hebrews 12:24:”…Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant,…” God gave us, you and me, the most beautiful sign in the sky that He would never ever flood the earth again. Now, being a farmer, I study the clouds, I study the weather, and after a beautiful shower of rain on a hot summer's afternoon, what do we see? We see a beautiful rainbow in the sky, a sign that the Lord has given to you and me that He will never flood the earth with water again, but God has now given us yet another even more powerful sign - a cross. You know folks, I want to tell you honestly, Jesus Christ has been made the Mediator (that is what it says in Hebrews) between God and ourselves. What is a mediator? Well, the Oxford Dictionary calls a mediator, a peacemaker, a go-between, a middleman, and that is what Jesus Christ is to you and I. I don't know how many and maybe a lot of you listening to this message have seen it as well - I have seen a cross in the sky. Oh yes, I have seen a cloud with a cross cut out of the cloud. Then I have seen a cloud in the form of a cross, not once, many times in our great outdoor meetings, and there are thousands of witnesses who have seen the same cross. That cross is a New Covenant between you and me and the Lord Jesus Christ. The Father sent His Son down to finish the job. “Go down Son, and be the final covenant between Myself and man.” If any man or woman, boy or girl, be in Christ Jesus, they are a new creation. So if you love Jesus Christ today, you have nothing to fear. When you see the rainbow in the sky, it is a beautiful reminder. Oh, but when you see the cross, you know that we have eternal life through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Have a beautiful day and continue to be a cloud watcher, because remember, at the end of the day, the Master is coming back in the clouds to take you and I home to be with Him in glory forever and ever, amen.

Stell dir einmal vor, du begleitest ein Team und bist regelmäßig im Team vor Ort. Aber damit nicht genug: Zwischen euren Sitzungen haben alle Teammitglieder Zugriff auf einen Online-Kurs, den du erstellt hast. In diesem Kurs finden die Leute Übungen zur Selbstreflexion, Tutorials und Lerneinheiten, mit denen sie ihr Entwicklungsthema vertiefen. Und jetzt stell dir vor, du würdest genauso eine ganze Organisation begleiten. Ein Unternehmen, einen Betrieb oder eine Einrichtung. Zwischendurch bist du live mit den Leuten, aber zwischen euren Sitzungen könne alle auf deinen Online-Kurs zurückgreifen. Genau das ist Blended Coaching: die Mischung aus synchronem Coaching, in dem wir live mit unseren Coachees arbeiten und asynchronem Coaching – also aufgezeichneten Inhalten. In dieser Folge schauen wir uns an, was dieses Format alles zu bietet und wie es gelingen kann. Dazu habe ich in dieser Folge einen wunderbaren Interview-Partner an meiner Seite und zwar Jochen Reich. Jochen ist ausgebildeter und zertifizierter systemischer Coach und Mediator. Er begleitet Teams und Organisationen darin, das Thema Konflikte proaktiv und präventiv anzugehen. Zum Thema Feedbackkultur hat er einen längeren Organisationsentwicklungsprozess gestartet und – du kannst es dir denken – in einem Blended Coaching Format. Das heißt, Jochen gibt in der Organisation Workshops und führt mit den Beschäftigten auch Retrospektiven durch. Aber: Ein Großteil des Entwicklungsprozesses geschieht durch den Online-Kurs, den er erstellt hat und auf den alle Mitarbeitenden Zugriff haben. Im Interview erzählt uns Jochen davon, wie es zu der Entscheidung kam, ein Blended Format zu entwickeln, wie der Prozess bisher gelaufen ist und wie er den Kurs didaktisch aufgebaut hat. Lausche rein in die neue Folge und lass dich von Jochens Erfahrungsbericht inspirieren.

In Chapters 8-10, Job's friend, Bildad, will speak correctly about God's justice, but will also incorrectly say that good things always come to God's people. As for Job, he will express frustration that there is no mediator that can stand between him and God. For believers today, we know that our perfect mediator is Jesus Christ.As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself,"Should I judge others based on their circumstances?""How is Jesus Christ my mediator?"

In this week's episode, Ang welcomes Bernadette Willems, a mediation specialist, to discuss the vital role of mediation in divorce and conflict resolution. The discussion explores Bernadette's journey from being a solicitor to becoming a mediator, the benefits of mediation over the traditional court process, and how mediation helps in dealing with various conflicts, including business disputes and professional breakdowns. They delve into the importance of communication, the challenges of co-parenting, and the impact of mediation on creating lasting change. Bernadette shares her insights on the mindfulness approach to mediation, the dynamics of the mediation process, and the advantages of having separate meetings with parties involved. The episode offers valuable advice for anyone contemplating divorce and highlights the importance of considering mediation as a primary step. (00:00) Introduction and Welcome (00:23) Meet Bernadette Willems: The Mediation Specialist (01:59) The Journey to Mediation (03:19) The Mediation Process Explained (05:57) Challenges and Misconceptions in Mediation (11:31) The Importance of Communication in Mediation (12:21) Personal Experiences and Advice on Mediation (14:25) The Role of a Mediator (25:50) The Benefits of Mediation Over Court (41:14) Final Thoughts and Advice (43:16) Conclusion and Farewell KEY TAKEAWAYS Mediation empowers individuals to resolve disputes themselves, fostering better outcomes than adversarial court battles. The introduction of mediation in the UK initially faced resistance from solicitors but ultimately became a collaborative process benefiting all parties. Legal aid for mediation is now limited, which can restrict access for vulnerable individuals who might benefit most from the process. Mediation is not just about financial settlements—it plays a crucial role in co-parenting arrangements and adapting to children's changing needs. The confidentiality and structure of mediation allow both parties to be heard, helping to break down polarization and promote constructive dialogue. BEST MOMENTS "In mediation, you are right at the center and can control what's happening." "Solicitors felt challenged that this new profession might stop their flow of clients." "Legal aid for mediation is now very limited, which leaves out vulnerable people." "The real beauty of mediation is that, with children, if parents can communicate, the arrangements are so much better." "Having the opportunity to be heard and listened to is hugely empowering."

He previously served as director of the Master's in Mediation program at the Woodbury Institute at Champlain College.   As a practitioner and teacher, Julian discusses both the personal and professional aspects of mediation and conflict transformation. Some of the themes the conversation: the role of family conflict and a bicultural upbringing in fostering perspective-taking skills how to work within diverse groups, not just bridging opposing sides de-escalation and harm reduction as initial steps in transformation the critical role of calm, perspective-taking, and an understanding that conflict can be useful   We mention two resources: 1.      Hector Black is one of the role models we suggest to students. His Moth Radio Hour talk is here. 2.      Paul Wehr and John Paul Lederach's model of insider and outsider mediators is discussed in their essay, “Mediating Conflict in Central America.” Journal of Peace Research, 28:1 (February 1991): 85–98.

Message from Jay Mosser on June 8, 2025

Are you tempted to approach God on your own terms rather than according to His will? How does the holiness of God shape your worship, your obedience, and your view of Christ? In today's message we find out what happens when God's people treat His presence with irreverence! In 1 Samuel 6:1–7:1, both the Philistines and the Israelites dishonor the holy presence of Yahweh—not by defiance alone, but by casual disobedience. In his message, “Who Can Stand?” Pastor Josiah explores how God's holiness is not something to manage, manipulate, or presume upon. Through the tragic actions of Beth-shemesh and the fearful question, “Who is able to stand before this holy God?”, we are brought face-to-face with our own unworthiness and the absolute necessity of a Mediator.In a world that often reduces God to sentimentality or ritual, this message calls us back to the fear of the Lord—a fear that leads not to fleeing from God, but to obedience under His Word and submission to His final Prophet, Jesus Christ. True life is found in fearing God and obeying His Word through Christ alone.

What does it mean that there is one mediator between God and man?

We all want to be heard. In some cases, there is confusion about whether a voice is the same as a vote.  It's not necessarily so. Why allow the voice? That voice may have a different and valuable perspective. That voice may become a vote in the future and it's wise to cultivate what can be gained by participation. That voice will not need to grumble underground in a negative way if it can be spoken out loud. Just as a voice is not a vote, it's not a veto. If there is a temptation to shut down a voice because it seems it might have the influence of a veto, that's an opportunity for reflection. Maybe anxiety over the voice – vote -- veto spectrum is a timely wake-up call. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley emphasizes the importance of prayer, the rapid spread of the gospel, and the personal relationship believers can have with God. He reflects on Paul's gratitude for the faith of the Roman believers and the significance of their reputation in the Christian community. Dr. Easley encourages listeners to pray unceasingly and to be eager in sharing the gospel, drawing parallels between Paul's mission and the modern-day call to action for believers. Takeaways: True worship begins when we set aside distractions and let God's Word transform us, not just inform us. The gospel is not slow or bound by time—it spreads faster than news and changes hearts more deeply than headlines. Paul's thanksgiving through Jesus Christ reminds us that gratitude and access to God always come through our one Mediator. You can't manufacture a faithful reputation—when Christ takes root, the world of believers takes notice. Prayer is not optional for the believer; it is the ongoing work of worship and the evidence of a heart aligned with God's. Encouragement in the body of Christ is mutual—we are built up when we give and receive spiritual gifts in fellowship. To read the book of Romans, click here.

1 Peter 2:7, "To you who believe, He is precious!" To the regenerate soul, Jesus Christ is the chief delight and treasure of the heart. The world may see no beauty in Him, but to the one born of God, Jesus is altogether lovely and worthy of all of our love, honor, and adoration. His preciousness lies first in His Person. In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and yet He took upon Himself true humanity. What mystery, that He who upholds all things by the word of His power, also humbled himself to become obedient to death--even death on a cross! Who can fathom such condescension? Who is like this glorious Mediator, who is both the Son of God and the Son of Man? Christ is also precious in His offices. As Prophet, He reveals the Father's will, teaching us the way of salvation with divine authority and tenderness. As Priest, He offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sins, and ever lives to intercede for us. As King, He rules over us with perfect righteousness and protects us from all our enemies. Each office meets our deepest need, and each one displays His surpassing worth. Further, He is precious in His benefits. Who but Jesus can give rest to the weary, peace to the troubled, righteousness to the guilty, and life to the dead? His blood cleanses from all sin. His Spirit renews the heart. His intercession secures both our perseverance and preservation. His promises are sure and sweet, and His presence is the joy of the believer's soul. All the infinite treasures of grace are found in Him! The more we grow in grace, the more Christ becomes our all. The soul cannot but long for Him, be satisfied with Him, and rejoice in Him above all things! This longing

Listen along as we continue our series through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 4:1-22 - Scott   They rejected the oral traditions of the Pharisees and considered only the written Torah of the Pentateuch as valid. They considered the concepts of demons and angels, immortality and resurrection as innovations, believing in no life beyond this life. More important than their theology, however, was their political orientation. Coming largely from the landed aristocracy, they were accommodationists with regard to the Roman occupation of Israel. Possessing considerable economic interests, their concern was to make peace with the Romans, preserve the status quo, and thus protect their own holdings. In return the Romans accorded the Sadducees considerable power, invariably appointing the high priest from their ranks, who was the most powerful political figure among the Jews in that day. The prime concern of the Sadducean aristocracy, of whom the high priest was the chief spokesman, was the preservation of order, the avoidance at all costs of any confrontation with the Roman authorities.  - New American Commentary   The church's one foundation  is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation  by water and the Word. From heaven he came and sought her  to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her,  and for her life he died. - Samuel J. Stone (1839-1900)   ”Grace is the free favor of God, the undeserved bounty of the ever-gracious Creator against whom we have offended, the generous pardon, the infinite, spontaneous lovingkindness of the God who has been provoked and angered by our sin."God's grace proceeds exclusively through Jesus Christ, the Mediator. "All things come to us through Christ Jesus: he is the golden pipe of the conduit of eternal love, the window through which grace shines, the door by which it enters." — Charles Spurgeon (The Cross and Salvation, Bruce Demarest)    …It does not say, ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted because they are objectionable.' It does not say, ‘Blessed are those who are having a hard time in their Christian life because they are being difficult.' It does not say, ‘Blessed are those who are being persecuted as Christians because they are seriously lacking in wisdom and are really foolish and unwise in what they regard as being their testimony.' It is not that. There is no need for one to elaborate this, but so often one has known Christian people who are suffering mild persecution entirely because of their own folly, because of something either in themselves or in what they are doing. But the promise does not apply to such people. It is for righteousness' sake. Let us be very clear about that. We can bring endless suffering upon ourselves, and we can create difficulties for ourselves that are quite unnecessary because we have some rather foolish notion of witnessing and testifying or because, in a spirit of self-righteousness, we really do call it down on our own heads. We are often so foolish in these matters. We are slow to realize the difference between prejudice and principle and we are so slow to understand the difference between being offensive, in a natural sense, because of our particular makeup and temperament, and causing offense because we are righteous. - Martyn Lloyd-Jones   8 Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.  10 For “Whoever desires to love life
    and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
    and his lips from speaking deceit; 11 let him turn away from evil and do good;
    let him seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
    and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” 13 Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.” (1 Peter 3:8-17)

Many conversations over time, with no thought of them ever being “completed” contribute to connection.  The repeated touch points keep us linked.  When we are connected, we create and cultivate a foundation. We create a common ground of shared experience. None of this is to say that we will experience a mind meld. We may hold different views that are difficult to reconcile. Disagreements are a part of life.  But when I know more about you, even little things, I know you better. I know where your sore spots are. I will be better equipped to keep the friction down if I know you. I can learn to say things in a way less likely to set you off. And, of course, all of this applies in the reverse. If you know me better through those continuing exchanges, even if brief, you will be able to avoid unnecessary friction.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Color: White Old Testament: Numbers 21:4–9 Psalm: Psalm 107:1–9; antiphon: v. 19 Epistle: 1 Timothy 2:1–6 Epistle: James 1:22–27 Gospel: John 16:23–33 Introit: Psalm 66:1–2a, 17, 19–20; antiphon: Isaiah 48:20b Verse: Liturgical Text; John 16:28 The Father Answers Our Prayers Because of Jesus   “Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you” (John 16:23). To pray in Jesus' name is to pray as one who has been baptized. For it is in the water that He put His name upon you, claiming you as His own, making you a son of God with access to the Father. By His incarnation and crucifixion, our Lord Jesus broke through the barrier of sin which separated us from God, opening a portal to the Father. To pray in Jesus' name is to pray with faith in Him as the one Mediator between God and men, who gave Himself a ransom for all (1 Tim. 2:1–6). Like Moses in the wilderness, Jesus is our go-between and intercessor before the throne of heaven. He was lifted up for us on the cross that we might be saved and restored to fellowship with the Father (Num. 21:4–9). Looking into this perfect teaching of liberty (James 1:22–27) we pray with boldness and confidence as dear children of God. Lectionary summary © 2021 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Do you feel like your prayers are hitting a wall? Are you carrying a burden for your family, your marriage, or your community? In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, we uncover the urgency and power of intercessory prayer. Jesus is not only our Savior—He is our Mediator, and He invites us to follow His example by standing in the gap for those we love. Join Jaime as she dives into the biblical roles of Jesus and Moses as mediators and intercessors. This message is for anyone who has ever fought silently for a breakthrough—especially when others don't deserve it. God is calling you to pray. If you don't intercede, who will?

The LORD's compassion for His people is seen in His provision of a Mediator through Whom He rescues His people from oppression and slavery.

Divorce negotiations can feel like a battlefield—two people locked in conflict, each fighting to protect what matters most. But what if you stopped viewing your ex as the enemy and started seeing the process as a strategic game—one where understanding, clarity, and emotional regulation could actually help you get better results? In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce podcast, I'm joined by Brenda Bridges—Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Divorce Coach, and Mediator. Brenda has not only helped countless clients navigate the financial and emotional complexities of divorce—she's lived it. After experiencing her own financially devastating divorce, she made it her mission to help others avoid the same mistakes by approaching divorce strategically instead of emotionally. Together, we explore how negotiating during divorce doesn't have to be driven by fear, anger, or reactivity. We talk about the importance of understanding your spouse's values—what they truly care about—and how using that insight can completely shift the way you approach settlement discussions. Whether it's financial security, time with the kids, or protecting their image, knowing what drives them can give you a surprising amount of leverage. We also dive into what it means to regulate your emotions, communicate with intention, and stay grounded during mediation or high-conflict negotiations. If you've ever felt stuck in a tug-of-war, always bracing for the next blow, this conversation offers a new perspective—one rooted in strategy, self-awareness, and the belief that you can walk away from divorce with clarity, confidence, and a future you're excited about. This episode is for anyone ready to stop playing defense and start negotiating from a place of strength and insight. Because when you understand the emotional and financial landscape of divorce, you can make smarter choices and protect what truly matters to you.

We can dread what comes next.  Dread won't help us. Anticipation will.Anticipating by being as ready as we can be.
