In today's episode, host Hunter invites us on day 113 of our yearlong journey through the Bible. Together, we'll explore the dramatic story of David, Nabal, and Abigail in 1 Samuel 25-26, reflect on David's heartfelt prayer in Psalm 63, and witness powerful moments of healing, compassion, and forgiveness in Matthew chapter 9. As we read, Hunter encourages us to open our hearts to God's mercy, reminding us that Jesus responds to both our physical and spiritual needs—not with demands for sacrifice, but with an invitation to show mercy and receive his love. Stay tuned as we pray together, find strength for the day ahead, and remember that love showed up for you—because you are loved, no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are needs everywhere. Jesus acknowledges these physical needs without excluding our spiritual needs, the needs of our soul and heart. He sees our need for forgiveness, healing from shame, and regrets. There, he has compassion. There, he reaches out. There, he heals, and there, he forgives. He says to the paralytic, "Be encouraged, my child. Your sins are forgiven." The same is true in our lives. He sees our physical needs, and he sees and responds to our spiritual need—our need for forgiveness, our need for wholeness and healing. He has come to show mercy. In Matthew 9:13, he says, "Now go and learn the meaning of this scripture: I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices. For I have come not to call those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners." He wants us to think about it, to consider the meaning of this scripture. Because so often, our thoughts automatically turn toward what we must do to earn favor with God. We ask ourselves, What must I sacrifice? How might I perform in order to be made right with him? But when our thinking goes there, we miss the point. Jesus tells us to think again— to go and learn the meaning of the scripture: "I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices." Your demonstration of mercy, your heart for others, is evidence that you understand the heart of God— that he has come to sacrifice himself on our behalf, to heal us. He's not looking for our religious sacrifices; he did what we could not. He brought healing, forgiveness, and hope. He came for the unrighteous, not for those who think they are righteous by the things that they do. God wants me to raise my eyes and see what he sees: the blind, the sick, the bleeding— all people needing his compassion and his life. When we see the way God sees, when we look with his eyes in his spirit, the same response wells up within our own hearts. We have compassion, and we go out and work in the fields alongside him. We participate with him. We are empowered by him. That is what God is up to here. He wants us to see what he sees, and he invites us to join him in the fields, working alongside him with his power, his strength, his joy. And that's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Will God reach out to us in our need? That's the aching question at the heart of Matthew 8 and, if we're honest, the question many of us quietly carry. The leper wonders, “Is God willing?” The Roman officer, seeking help for his servant, quietly asks the same. The crowds gathered at Peter's house come, each with the desperate hope that God's compassion and power are not reserved for someone else—but will reach even them. Deep down, all of us want to know: Will God cross the distance? Is He willing to touch us at our lowest, at our most unclean and unworthy? So much in our world, and even our religion, tries to sell us the lie of separation—that God is far off, distant, too holy to come near our mess. We get the message that God will keep his distance until we make ourselves acceptable, that we are always just out of reach. But that is not the gospel. The gospel is the declaration that God is not removed. In Christ, He draws near—He steps across every boundary, he sits with us in our worst, he touches what others would call untouchable, and he makes us clean. In answer to every fearful, doubting heart, Jesus says, “I am willing.” He unmasks the lie of separation with the reality of his compassion and presence. God, in Christ, is not far off from you. He is willing, he is present, and he has set his heart to set you free. Where you are right now is not too far. Your struggle, your shame, your uncleanness—none of it keeps him away. The good news is not only that God can restore and heal, but that God desires to do so, and he is already with you, closer than your breath. My prayer today is that I might be rooted more deeply in this union with Christ, that the lie of separation would lose its grip on my heart and mind. That's my prayer for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's my prayer for you: that you would know, in the depths of your being, that God is willing, God is near, and you truly are loved. May it be so. Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode for April 21st, 2025, your host Hunter guides us through day 111 of our journey through the scriptures. Together, we'll explore First Samuel 24, Psalms 57 and 58, First Chronicles 8, and Matthew 8. This episode dives deep into dramatic moments—David spares Saul's life in the cave, the heartfelt songs and pleas of David in the Psalms, rich genealogies tracing the descendants of Benjamin, and several of Jesus's remarkable miracles: healing the leper, the Roman officer's servant, and calming a raging storm. Hunter not only reads and reflects on these passages, but also shares an encouraging message about the willingness and compassion of God. He confronts the lie of separation, reminding us that God is not distant, but present and loving—no matter where we find ourselves. Wrapping up, he leads us in heartfelt prayers and urges us to root ourselves in the good news of Jesus. So grab your Bible, settle in, and join us as we lean into the joy and assurance that we are deeply loved by God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: 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.

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 special Easter Sunday episode, Heather guides us through day 110 of our journey in the scriptures, reminding us of the hope and joy found in the resurrection—He is risen indeed! Together with listeners from around the world, we dive into First Samuel 23, Psalm 31, Psalm 54, and Matthew 7, seeking to see Jesus as the true source of life. Heather offers thoughtful reflection on what it means to live out the gospel, emphasizing that Christ's transforming love is a gift we receive, not something we earn. As we pray and meditate on God's word, we're encouraged to trust our good Father, live with love and courage, and let the joy of the Lord be our strength. Join us as we meditate, pray, and celebrate the risen life of Christ together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught, yet only a few seem to find it. Only one truly lived that way. He is the door through which we must pass in order for that kind of life to be possible for us. But the gateway to life is very narrow, and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Unless we die to our own efforts and come to Jesus for that life, we will miss the kingdom entirely. The road is difficult because it requires us to die to our own selfish way of life. That is why few ever find it. He is the gate into kingdom life. Living a life where we are doing unto others what we would like them to do to us is the gospel working itself out in us. The spirit of Christ transforms our very character, and that is a gift from our good father. It's not something earned, strived for, or sweated out to obtain. No. It's a gift from God. It's a gift accomplished for humanity on the cross. His resurrection life in and for us is what we are celebrating this Easter day. As children, we are to trust our good father. He won't give us a snake if we ask for a fish. He knows how to give good gifts that get to the essence of our very life and come after our heart. He is a good father who gives his children good gifts. This is the good news, the gospel. Ours is to wake up to the reality that he is the good thing, our true life that alone can transform us from the inside out. Ours is to welcome the gospel that transforms us, making us people that love our neighbor as ourselves. We are to seek, knock, find, and pursue him with all our heart, mind, strength, and soul by the power of his Spirit. Then we will begin to experience the heart of our good Father, and he will produce in us the good fruit of good trees. He empowers us to live the way we were always intended to live. Allow God, through his spirit, to transform you. His life in you is what makes you a good tree that produces good fruit. Live with the awareness that your father is good. May that be our prayer and our pursuit today. 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.

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, your host Hunter invites you to join him on day 109 of our journey through the Bible. Together, we'll explore the dramatic story of David and Jonathan's friendship and loyalty in 1 Samuel 20–21, reflect on David's psalm of praise and trust in Psalm 34, and listen to the timeless and challenging words of Jesus in Matthew 5 as he delivers the Sermon on the Mount. Hunter draws powerful connections between the Old and New Testaments, showing how Jesus fulfills the law with a message rooted in love. We'll close with heartfelt prayers for peace, guidance, and the grace to live out God's love each day. Whether you're opening your Bible for the first time or continuing a lifelong journey, this episode promises encouragement, reflection, and practical inspiration for your walk with God. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus, the fulfillment of the law, shows us the heart of God. As we open up the scriptures today and listen to Jesus on the mountainside, delivering his most well-known sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, we encounter a powerful truth. Matthew helps us see a profound contrast—Moses went up Mount Sinai and brought the law, the Ten Commandments, to the people. Now, Jesus ascends a mountain, but he comes with a better message: a message not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it, to bring it to its true purpose. So many of us find ourselves thinking that if we can just keep the law, we'll be alright with God—as if our life is conditioned on our performance. But Jesus turns this understanding upside down. He fulfills the purpose of the law, showing us that it was always meant to lead us to love. Love is the heart of the matter. Jesus, the far better Moses, draws us right to what matters most—loving God and loving others. Everything else flows from that. We hear Jesus calling us to a life that goes beyond mere rules. “Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you. Be salt, be light, pursue justice and mercy. Let your good deeds shine so that all may praise your Heavenly Father.” This is not a burdensome call, but an invitation to the very life of God. It's the way of love, and by the power of Christ in us, we can walk in it. Our entry into this way of life isn't based on our ability to keep the law, but on our willingness to experience the love of God for ourselves. When we receive his love, it transforms us from the inside out. That's what enables us to live the life Jesus describes—a life shaped and fueled by the love of God. May God help us to experience him deeply, for God is love. That's the prayer I have for my own soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and for you, dear ones. May we be people who walk in the way of love, the way of Jesus, and may it be so among us. Amen. 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.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us on day 108 of our journey through the Bible, drawing our attention to the living Word—Jesus. We begin with the drama of 1 Samuel 19, where David's life is under threat from Saul, and witness Jonathan's loyalty and God's surprising interventions. Our reading continues through detailed genealogies and stories of faithfulness in 1 Chronicles 7, and then we pause with Psalm 59—a song David penned while fleeing danger, crying out for God's protection and celebrating his unfailing love. The episode concludes with Jesus' wilderness temptation in Matthew 4, showing his unwavering dependence on the Father and his victory over evil, inviting us all into union with God's love. Hunter wraps up with thoughtful reflections, prayer, and encouragement for purposeful soul work, reminding us that transformation happens as we walk together in faith. So, settle in and let today's Word point your heart to the One who loves you—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus is out in the desert being tempted by Satan. In the desert, he's demonstrating his union and dependence on his Father and the Spirit. On the outside, it seems that he's alone. And after forty days of no food, on the outside, it might seem that he's becoming weak. And this is the point of Satan's attack. When it appears that he is alone and weak, he challenges Jesus to break with his Father and the Spirit, to save himself, to get what he came for, to abandon the community of love that he shares with his Father and the Spirit, to take the throne of solitary and sovereign power. This, of course, is where Adam failed. He abandoned the community of love for solitary and sovereign control. And this is where you and I fail. But where we fail, Jesus will not. Seeing our need, he comes and does what we cannot. And because he overcomes, he wins for us our place back into the community of love. Jesus would not be deterred. He would overcome the temptation by demonstrating his union and utter dependence upon his Father and the Spirit. He would win these battles, and he would win the war. And because he won the war on the cross, all of humanity has been invited into God's community of love. And now he invites us to participate with him, with the Father and the Spirit, victorious with him over the evil one, ready to live a life of dependence upon God, living in the reality of our union with God in Christ. Union and communion. Victory and joy are ours. 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.

These are the first words we hear the father speak over the son. And through Christ, they are words that have been spoken over all people all over the Earth. God has declared his love for all humanity. He's declared his love for you. So here in this declaration, the heart of the father for all people everywhere, broken, lost, sinner people like you and me, Jesus comes to do all that is needed so that every man, woman, and child can be embraced into the triune love of father, son, and holy spirit. So all humanity can experience the love that is shared in the godhead. So we can be one as they are one. Hear the declaration of what is. Hear the proclamation that you are loved by god. This is not a proposition. God's love and your position as daughter, as son, is not a great opportunity for you if you believe enough or you get your act together enough. It is a declaration of what is. You are loved. You are his. And that is great news. Let's hear this declaration well today and move out into the world, learning, discovering how to live out who we have become. May God give us wisdom, and may God give us joy as we live out this gospel in him. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord 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

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 back to the Daily Radio Bible podcast, where we journey together through the scriptures every day. I'm Hunter, your host, brother, and Bible reading coach, here to guide you as we dive into the wild, wonderful, and sometimes strange world of the Bible. Today, we're starting our exploration in 1 Samuel 17, where the legendary tale of David and Goliath unfolds, showcasing God's love for transforming situations and overturning odds with faith and courage. Then, we turn to Psalm 9, a heartfelt song of praise from David himself, celebrating God's justice and protection. Finally, we wrap up in Matthew 2, with the story of the wise men visiting the newborn king, and how God orchestrates events for the preservation of His son amid dangerous times. Join us as we uncover the affirmations of God's power in overcoming giants, and how these timeless lessons resonate with us today. Let's get into God's word and let it speak life into our hearts. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God seems to really enjoy reversals where the weapons of an enemy are used against the enemy himself. God has a way of reversing the supposed strength of giants to achieve his victory. Goliath stood defiantly over the people of God. This giant was not just a huge human being. He also had weapons of war. But a young man named David, God's anointed man, had nothing other than a few smooth stones, a sling, and faith in a God who delights in reversing the strengths of the enemy into weakness. He believed in the God of reversals. So with only a few stones and a sling, God defeated this well-armed giant. The psalmist David says this over and over again. They have dug a pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. The greatest of all reversals is seen in the cross, a weapon used by the giant enemy of our souls to crucify our Lord. And yet the cross was the very instrument that won our victory from sin, death, and the grave. The cross is the greatest reversal of all. God's in the business of reversing things, and today is a good day to remember this and rejoice in it. As on Saturday, the day before Easter, this was a dark and silent day when it looked like the giant had won. In fact, the taunts of the giant were the loudest that had ever been heard. But on Sunday, if we look carefully, we can see God's appointed shepherd. Not a boy, but a man. And this man was far better than David. He was the rock that made men stumble, the stone that made giants fall. And he has won the victory. And because of this greatest of all reversals, people from all around the world, like you and me, broken people from every tribe and nation and tongue, can experience the power to overcome one giant after another. God brings about that great reversal for you and me on the cross. Whatever giant you're facing can be faced today, not with swords or spears or javelins, but in the name of the Lord of heaven's armies. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. That's the 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.

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...

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 podcast, where today we celebrate over one hundred days of journeying through the scriptures together. Join Hunter, your Bible reading coach, as he reflects on the transformative power of this habit, emphasizing that while the Bible itself doesn't save us, it points us to Jesus, the true source of salvation and the healer of our souls. Dive into today's readings from First Samuel, First Chronicles, and the beginning of Matthew's gospel, exploring stories of kings, prophets, and the lineage of the Messiah. Hunter shares insights on how God's anointing oil, unlike the world's oil, brings true peace, hope, and love. As we journey through scripture, let us continue to grow in understanding and devotion, keeping our hearts open to the work of the Spirit in our lives. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The world's oil is not what we truly crave. In our world today, oil is a symbol of power and influence. It establishes kingdoms and directs economies. People wage wars over it, lives are shaped and shattered by its value. But in reality, the world's oil cannot provide what we desperately need. It cannot bring us peace, offer us hope, or fill us with love. It does not have the power to transform the human heart. Yet God's oil is entirely different. It comes from a humble olive, representing His presence. This oil signifies the peace, hope, and love that only He can provide, transforming every heart it touches. In today's reading, the moment Samuel anointed David with oil, it was more than a physical act; it was a representation of God's divine presence and approval. David stands as a symbol of the anointed one, pointing us to Jesus – the ultimate expression of God's loving presence. Jesus, the true anointed one, was sent to offer the world an overflowing abundance of peace, hope, and love. According to the scriptures, He was born of a virgin, lived among us, was crucified, died, buried, and then rose from the dead. Now, He offers the oil of His spirit – His presence – to all of us. This anointing transforms us into lights in this dark world, filling us with His peace, hope, and love. Let us embrace the spirit's presence within us as we glow with His light and share His love with the world. Hallelujah. That's a prayer I hold close for my own soul, for my family, and for you too. 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.

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 another episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we're journeying through the scriptures together, illuminating the path to Jesus – the true source of our life. I'm Heather, your guide this Sunday, joining your hearts with listeners from around the world as we dive into the Word and seek to draw closer to Christ. Today, we reflect on the stories woven through 1 Samuel 14, 1 Chronicles 4, and 2 Corinthians 13. From Jonathan's brave acts that bring about divine interventions and spark courage among warriors, to the genealogical heritage that connects us to our past, and finally, to Paul's earnest exhortation to the Corinthians to live in joy, maturity, and harmony. As we warm ourselves around the fire of God's love, our prayer remains that we embody the life of Christ in all we do and experience His transformative power in our lives. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's explore these timeless truths together. Remember, no matter where you are or what you're facing, you are loved and supported. Let's get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Let us embrace the call to examine ourselves. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Corinthians, beckons us to a profound spiritual practice—self-examination. We are invited to reflect on our lives and test the authenticity of our faith. This is not just a passive glance but an introspective journey into the core of our being. What do we find when we pause and truly look at our faith? Are we seeing the life of Christ at work within us? Are we participating in His saving and abiding presence in our lives and the world around us? Paul's exhortation to the Corinthians is just as relevant to us today. He asks us to recognize that Christ resides within us, to see the evidence of His power and authority at work. This recognition is not meant to be burdensome, but instead serves as an invitation to celebrate the wondrous reality that our lives can be expressions of His divine love and power. We are called to be joyful, mature, and encouraging, living in harmony and peace—a reflection of the transformative presence of Christ within us. As we take inventory of our spiritual journey, let us remember that the examination of our faith is a growing process—a journey that involves being vulnerable, honest, and willing to change. It is an invitation to align ourselves more closely with Jesus, opening our hearts to His work and allowing His love to permeate every aspect of our lives. Embrace these words of guidance and let them illuminate your walk with Christ. Join in His work through you and me—let His living presence in us be the message we proclaim to the world. Let your evaluation of faith not merely be a day of thought but a lifetime of joyful discovery and commitment to His calling. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my community, and that's a prayer that I have for each of 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.

Today, we continue our journey through the scriptures with Day 102. Hunter,  will be guiding us through readings from First Samuel 13, First Chronicles 2 and 3, and Second Corinthians 12. Together, we'll explore stories of leadership and challenges faced by Saul, discover the lineage detailed in First Chronicles, and delve into Paul's reflections in Corinthians about relying on God's grace amidst his own struggles. Join us as we dive into the word, seeking wisdom, encouragement, and a deeper understanding of God's presence and love in our lives. Whether you're at home, on a walk, or commuting, we're glad you're here with us on this spiritual journey. So grab your Bible and let's get into today's readings! TODAY'S DEVOTION: What do you really want? Is it comfort, security, pleasure, recognition? Maybe it's something related to your family. Maybe you want healing for a child or a spouse for yourself. Paul wanted something too. He wanted it badly. He pleaded for it. He wanted this thing that was bothering him to stop. He called it his thorn in the flesh. And the origins of this thing came from Satan himself, we're told. We're not exactly sure what it was, but the description seems to cover all the bases. We all have needs, physical and spiritual needs, and we all end up crying out to God, asking him to deliver us, to take that thing, to correct that thing, to heal that thing, whatever that thing is, and we see that Paul was no different. He pleaded and pleaded and continued to plead. Whatever it was, Paul felt that it was holding him back. This is what Paul really wanted. He saw God delivering and providing and doing miracles that were both spiritual and physical for others. Why didn't God do the same for Paul? Why doesn't he do the same thing for you, for me? Maybe it's because there's something Paul and you and I need that's more important than what we want. Paul needed to know the power of grace in his life. God tells Paul, not once, but three times, grace is what you need. My grace is perfected in your weakness. And so Paul began to treasure even his weaknesses because they became a doorway to the grace, the presence, the love of God. Maybe there's something that we need that's more important than what we want. And the prayer of my own soul to his is that I will have the wisdom, the courage, the grace to receive it. And that's the 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...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to this episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we're diving into day 102 of our immersive journey through the Bible with your host, Hunter. Today, we take a look behind the pages of First Samuel chapters eleven and twelve, explore the genealogies in First Chronicles chapter one, and reflect on the profound insights from Second Corinthians chapter eleven. From Saul's stirring leadership in times of crisis, to the long lineage of faith, and Paul's candid testament of strength found in weakness, each reading brings its unique perspective on our walk in faith. We'll also spend time in prayer together, seeking guidance and strength for the day ahead. So, settle in as Hunter unravels the scriptures and invites you into a deeper experience of God's word. Let's continue to open our hearts and minds to the transformative power of these ancient texts. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's an upside-down world. Paul's being lowered in a basket through a hole in the wall outside of the city. As he's being lowered, God is lifting him up. We've been invited into an upside-down world. It's a world where those who are lowered down are being lifted up, while those who lift themselves up are being lowered from within. Paul very briefly talks about his elevated days. He reminds his readers just how elevated he was, that he was like those super apostles. But Paul wants them to know that this elevated status did nothing for his soul. In fact, he was descending from within, even while on the outside, his status was soaring high. Paul tells us that it was while he was being lowered, descending on the outside, accused and scorned and whipped and stoned and shipwrecked, hungry alone on the outside, even as he was being lowered in a basket, it was in these moments that God showed himself most present in his life. It was there that Paul knew God's strength the most. He experienced God's love most intimately when he was being lowered in that basket outside the city. It was a defining moment for Paul. God does his deepest work in our lowering, and anyone, super apostle or not, who tells us otherwise, might want to be avoided. See God in the lowering. Experience the fellowship of his suffering there. He is faithful to bring about his good purposes in all of our circumstances. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will participate with him in faith, even in the lowering. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the 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

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible Podcast, hosted by Hunter, your Bible reading coach and brother in this journey through the scriptures. Today is April 10th, and we're diving into day 101 of our year-long journey through the Bible. Our passages include 1 Samuel chapters 8 through 10 and 2 Corinthians chapter 10. Today, we'll hear about the Israelites' request for a king and Saul's unexpected anointing, both physically impressive yet internally conflicted. We are reminded of Paul's appeal in 2 Corinthians that true authority comes from Christ and not worldly measures. Join us as we reflect on these powerful stories, pray together, and invest in our souls. Remember, as Hunter often says, you are loved—no doubt about it. Let's go forward in God's joy, letting it be our strength. Thank you for tuning in today, and don't forget to subscribe and share this podcast with your friends. Let's continue this journey together tomorrow. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Saul was head and shoulders taller than anyone else around him. Saul had the stature of a king, but he didn't feel like it. Not on the inside. Not in his heart. Others saw his physical stature, but God was looking at his heart. The people wanted a king, but God wanted a heart. So when the spirit of God came upon Saul, the scriptures tell us that that's what God did. He changed his heart. Now, Saul's part was simply to say yes to this gift of life, to begin to see himself for who he now was. He was chosen. He was a leader. He was God's anointed king. But deep down, there were things that kept him from truly embracing who God said he was. He felt like an imposter. He hid in the baggage, fleeing from all of it. Saul couldn't see it. There was a part of him that worked against himself and who he really was. He was tortured with internal contradictions, and his life was marked by anguish. Things were always complicated for Saul. But the life that Saul had been awakened to wasn't complicated. It was simple. It didn't require him to be tortured and anguished. It simply required him to say yes to God. Thank you, God. I invite you to live your life through me today, God, whatever that life may entail. When a person does that, they begin to live like a king, and it simply requires a yes to the new thing that God has done. To the new heart, for a heart that would simply trust. A heart that would be free. God is offering all of us something very simple today. Who you really are is hidden with God in Christ. You are who he says you are. You don't need to power up. You don't need to bluster or fake your way through to live up to the expectations of others. You can simply rest in him. You can say yes and thank you. You can choose to believe. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul today. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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

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, dear friends! Today marks a milestone in our journey through the Bible as we reach day 100. What an incredible century of days together, immersing ourselves in God's Word! In this episode, we dive into 1 Samuel chapters 6 and 7, Psalm 72, and 2 Corinthians chapter 9. Hunter, our devoted host, guides us with heartfelt reflections and an inspiring call to live as cheerful givers, much like the generous farmers that Apostle Paul speaks of. As we reflect on God's abundant provisions and the power of generosity, we'll also join in a time of prayer and thanksgiving. Tune in as Hunter encourages us to sow generously into the lives of others, reminding us of the joy found in giving. As always, the scriptures enlighten us, and this meaningful time spent in God's presence enriches our hearts. Thanks for joining, and let's continue this journey of listening and growing in faith together! TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: Good farmers. Cheerful farmers. Paul draws a picture for us — a picture of how we should be living, inspired by the life of farmers. Interestingly, farmers, while they may not live extravagantly, possess an extravagant heart. Why, you ask? Because farmers have an understanding. They understand that from the seed, which comes from God, stems their bread. It's a portrait of reliance and gratitude. For us, the lesson is that everything we have, right down to the very seed, comes from God. He is our source, both the giver and the increaser. So, how are we sowing today? If we sow sparingly, the harvest will reflect that. But if we sow generously, the bounty will overflow. Paul's intention is not just agricultural; it's a divine principle. This truth governs not only fields but hearts. Being good and cheerful farmers, knowing everything is His, leads us to sow generously into the lives of others. For those in need, for those who require encouragement, and for those in God's fields. Participating with God's generous heart is thrilling — knowing it truly is better to give than to receive. This calling to be cheerful, generous sowers is a universal prayer. A prayer for our souls, our families, and for everyone. May God help us live out this call as good and cheerful farmers. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the 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...

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another enriching episode of the Daily Radio Bible. I'm Hunter, your brother and Bible reading coach, here to accompany you on day 98 of our transformative journey through the Bible. Today, we're diving back into the historical and spiritual depths of scripture, focusing on pivotal stories and teachings that have shaped faith throughout time. We'll explore the call of young Samuel and the divine messages he received, the fierce battles involving the Philistines and the fate of the Ark of the Covenant, and we'll reflect on the profound words from Psalm 77. We'll also uncover lessons on generosity from the early churches in Second Corinthians chapter eight. Let's get ready to immerse ourselves in these timeless lessons and gain insights that can guide our lives today. Thank you for joining me on this journey of discovery and spiritual growth. Let's dive in. TODAY'S DEVOTION: You are rich. Did you know it? Paul says that those riches were achieved because someone else became poor, and that someone is Christ. Christ became poor so that by his poverty, he could make you rich. Jesus took our poverty upon himself in order to bestow on us his riches of sonship. That makes you wealthy. That makes you blessed. That makes you his. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because you are united with Christ. These are heavenly riches, but these spiritual riches work their way into our physical lives. They free us up to live generous lives here right now. And to the extent that we truly understand this will result in generous hearted living. Paul wants us to follow through with the generosity that was born in our hearts. He doesn't want us to stall out. He wants us to finish whatever it is that God inspired you to do. Maybe it's offering a meal to someone who's sick, spending time with someone who really needs it, giving financially to someone in need, helping to advance the cause of the gospel, as was the case of this particular passage. Whatever it is, don't stall out. Finish what God has inspired you to do. Live out your generous life because you are rich, and your spiritual wealth comes from him. May this inspire you to live out the riches that are yours in Christ. Don't stall out on those things that God inspires you to do, but rather live them out in the joy and the strength and in the presence of Christ who dwells in you. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul, and that's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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...

Today, we're delving into Day 97 of our Bible journey, where our host Hunter leads us through readings from 1 Samuel chapters 1 and 2, Psalm 66, and 2 Corinthians chapter 7. This episode brings to life the heartfelt story of Hannah's longing for a child and the profound lessons of faith and promise that unfold in our daily walk with God. Join Hunter as he explores the intricate connection between our bodies, minds, and souls, encouraging us to invest in our spiritual health by taking moments of reflection and gratitude. With profound prayers and reflections, this episode serves as a gentle reminder of God's immeasurable love and promises of abundant life for all who seek Him. So, let's dive in and do some soul work together, embracing the joy and strength that comes from knowing you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Hannah wants a child. She's a childless mother, and she longs for life. We see this story time and time again throughout the Bible, the inability to conceive and have a child. Over and over, this story gets retold. Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Samson's mother, Hannah, Micah, and Elizabeth. All these women of the Bible all wanted life. They wanted a child. They wanted life because life is what we all want. It's what we're made for. And so they cried out, and God heard their cry. And God, in his great love, made a way for them to experience the life that they wanted. And God hears our hearts, all of us, when we cry out. Jesus tells us that he has come that we might have life and have it abundant. So let us be sure to call out to him to receive from him the life that he alone can give. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son, and that's the 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.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible! I'm Heather, and it's Sunday, April 6th, 2025 – day 96 of our journey through the scriptures. Gather around as we delve into the word, seeking illumination from the Holy Spirit and drawing closer to Jesus, the source of our life. Today, we'll explore the beautiful and epic love story found within the book of Ruth, specifically chapters three and four. We'll also be diving into the heartfelt words of David in Psalms 64 and 65, and wrapping up with the teachings from Second Corinthians chapter six. Join us as we witness how stories that begin with tragedy can transform into tales of eternal love and redemption. Let's warm ourselves around the fire of God's love and remember, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Our lives are a tapestry woven by God, even when we perceive tangled threads and chaos. Looking at the life of Naomi in the book of Ruth, it begins with hardship, famine, and loss. Naomi even changes her name to Mara, meaning bitter, reflecting her feelings about her life's story. Many of us can relate to Naomi's early story filled with pain and displacement, seeing our own lives as narratives lined by tragedy. Yet, when faith is our compass, we encounter transformations we never imagined, as Ruth did. Ruth's unwavering commitment to Naomi and her God amidst uncertainties opened doors to a grand narrative—a powerful love story from which the lineage of King David arose, eventually leading to Jesus, the ultimate Redeemer. When Ruth said, "Your people will be my people, and your God my God," she planted seeds of faith that bloomed into an inheritance far greater than she could have envisioned. Jesus, our ultimate kinsman redeemer, has arrived in our own stories, not leaving them desolate but filling them with hope and redemption. Our Redeemer, far greater than Boaz, turns what we see as dead ends into vibrant paths toward love and purpose. It's a call today to hold firm to faith amidst trials, knowing that our journey is being crafted into a magnificent story of divine love. Our lives are not just for us but testimony to God's work, weaving redemption and love into every fiber, ultimately pointing back to Him. May we trust that our Redeemer lives, is active in our story, and in faith, let's step into this narrative of love woven by God, the master storyteller. That's a prayer I carry for myself, for my family, and for each of you. May we embrace and share our God-written stories. 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.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through scripture to uncover the wonders of God's love and presence in our lives. I'm Hunter, your host and Bible reading coach, here to guide you through today's passages. Our reading includes the heartfelt story of Ruth's loyalty, captured in the first two chapters of the Book of Ruth, where we join Naomi and Ruth on their journey back to Bethlehem. We'll also ponder the reflections of King David in Psalms 53 and 61, as he calls out to God for refuge and strength. Lastly, we'll explore Paul's insights in 2 Corinthians 5, where he speaks on the transformative power and reconciliation offered through Christ. Together, we'll delve into these texts, seeking God's wisdom and love as they light our path. So, grab your Bible, and let's get started on this enriching journey. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Paul says that he believes that Christ died for everyone. This is an inclusive statement that shakes us into realizing the grandeur of God's love for the entirety of humanity. Paul emphasizes that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. This was a monumental act that took place on the cross. Beyond just an act, it was a cosmic declaration of love for all, setting right what was broken since the time of Adam. This notion was earth-shattering for Paul, reshaping his view of God and others. “We no longer evaluate people the way we used to,” he exclaims. What does he see now? He sees that everyone is enfolded in the embrace of God—even if they haven't realized it yet. As an ambassador of this message, Paul pleads with people. He implores them: “Come back to God.” It's an invitation—an invitation to see, to hear, and to grasp what God has already done. To realize that this reconciling work includes us—it includes you. Today, my prayer echoes Paul's realization. I yearn to glimpse the breadth, the height, and depth of what God has done in Christ for everyone. That's what I hope for myself, for my family, for my wife and children, and yes, for you too. May we each, in our own lives, become bearers of this truth—a truth that changes everything. May it guide our hearts to live as new creations, renewed and reconciled by Christ's ultimate act of love. It's not just a message; it's a transformation that has already been accomplished, waiting for us to live it fully. 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.

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 on this beautiful April day, as we continue day 94 of our journey through the Bible. I'm your host, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, here to gather with you from around the world to explore the scriptures and enlighten our hearts with the warmth of God's love. Today, we delve into some intense and thought-provoking passages from Judges 19 through 21, and 2 Corinthians chapter 4, where we encounter the complexities and sometimes troubling accounts of the Old Testament. We are reminded, however, that God's character is fully revealed in the face of Jesus Christ, assuring us of His unwavering love and light. Together, we'll explore these scriptures, pray, and seek understanding, connecting deeply with each other and the spirit of God. So, let's prepare our hearts and minds for a time of reflection, prayer, and divine discovery. TODAY'S DEVOTION: You are a fragrant perfume. You are a letter. You are a fragile clay jar. Paul uses all three of these metaphors to describe the quality of our Christian life. Paul says that this clay jar that is our life contains a great treasure. And this treasure that dwells within us clearly demonstrates God's power and not our own. And that treasure is Christ himself living in you. The life within these jars of clay is Jesus, and we fragile clay jars are told to fix our eyes on Jesus. Fix our eyes on him. Because when we do, we see all that there is to know about God. When we read some of these accounts in the Old Testament, it can be so troubling. We can begin to question the very character of God. Did God tell them to do these things? That's what they thought. Sometimes the things that we say about God are more a projection of ourselves and our own hearts than they are of God's. We struggle to make sense of evil. Thankfully, the Lord does not leave us alone in our confusion. The Lord did not leave us in this darkness to ourselves. No. Paul tells us in today's reading in Corinthians that God said, let there be light in the darkness. And he's made that light to shine in our hearts so that we could know the glory of God who is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. God's character need not be questioned anymore. It has been revealed completely in the face of Jesus. There is no shadowy figure behind the face of Jesus. No. What we see is what we get, and what we get is light. We receive in him the perfect expression of love and life. And we now have this life within us, so let's keep looking at him. Even in the Bible, when we read stories that are just monstrous, let's keep looking at him. He is the exact representation of the heart of God. And that, my friend, is such good news. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will learn how to keep my eyes fixed, not just when I'm reading the Bible, but as I read life, as I live this life, the fragile clay jar that I am, we are, may God in his mercy show us his way. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the 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.

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.

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

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 podcast! In today's episode, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, guides us through Day 93 of our journey through the Bible with insights and reflections that inspire and uplift. We'll delve into the book of Judges, starting with chapters 17 and 18, where we encounter the story of Micah and his self-made religious icons during a time when "everyone did what was right in their own eyes." Hunter ties this narrative to our lives today, highlighting how we often try to write our own life letters, forgetting the freedom and identity found in the new letter God has imprinted on our hearts. Next, we'll be lifting our spirits with the enduring message of Psalm 89, a psalm that praises the Lord's unfailing love and the covenant with David. Finally, we shift to Second Corinthians chapter 3, where Paul enlightens us on the transformative power of living by the Spirit and the new covenant, which gives life and freedom. Throughout this episode, Hunter emphasizes the power of gratitude, the importance of being grateful, and the profound truth that we are loved, free, and belong to God. Join us as we pray, reflect, and find encouragement together in today's reading. Don't forget to check in with yourself and foster an attitude of gratitude as we go forward in God's joy. Let's embark on this day with open hearts, ready to embrace the blessings that surround us. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God has written a new letter on our hearts. Imagine, for a moment, that your life could be summed up in the form of a letter. What would it say? In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul speaks to this idea, suggesting that our lives are a letter written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God. And it's this new letter that transforms everything about us. The old letter, the law, though glorious in its time, was temporary. It was etched in stone and was meant to guide but not to last forever. Contrast that with the new letter written on our hearts—it is life-giving, everlasting, and penned by the very Spirit of God. This scripture gives us a profound sense of freedom. It declares to us that we are loved, we are free, and we are His. Too often, like Micah from the book of Judges, we try to craft our own letters—our own narratives—building idols out of our ambitions and desires, doing what seems right in our eyes. Yet, these pursuits only lead to blindness, exhaustion, and dissatisfaction. They never satisfy and certainly never set us free. But God's new letter does the opposite. Permanently inscribed on our hearts, it helps us stand before God with confidence. Because through this letter, we know our true identity. We are no longer defined by what we can accomplish or create ourselves, but by the love and freedom granted to us by God. This knowledge gives us the confidence and peace our hearts yearn for. Live today knowing that God has set you free through His Spirit. Embrace the truth of the letter He has written on your heart. You are loved, you are free, and you are His. Let this truth be the anthem of your life—an anthem that leads you to live boldly in the confidence and identity God has lovingly penned for you. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord 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.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: In a land overshadowed by strife, a man named Hunter emerges with a lineage rooted in resilience and divine intervention. Born in the town of Zorah, within the tribe of Dan, his story begins with his parents, Manoah and his wife, who longed for a child amidst years of oppression by the Philistines. For a time, it seemed they would remain childless, until an angel of the Lord appeared to his mother, promising the birth of a son despite her inability to conceive. This miraculous promise came with a vow—a commitment to purity, abstaining from wine, and living a life dedicated to the path set forth by divine guidance. Hunter's existence signifies hope and renewal in a tumultuous world, a testament to faith and the unfolding of unexpected blessings. TODAY'S DEVOTION: A life giving perfume. Paul says, that's what our lives are to be. Perfume is beautiful. It's treasured. It fills the senses. It revives us. It beautifies us. This perfume Paul's talking about goes even further. It gives life. This life giving perfume never evaporates or dissipates over time. Once poured out, it grows and multiplies. It fills the room. It fills the world. Its fragrance spreads through time, and it gives life to each new generation, each new civilization. This is eternal life giving perfume. It has been poured out on us, and we are to pour it out on others. On this Good Friday, we remember that God's life giving perfume was poured out in the life of our Lord Jesus upon the whole Earth as he hung from the cross, he gave himself so that he might offer radical forgiveness for all, that he might suffer on behalf of all, that that fragrant life would beautify all. So this day, may the spirit of Christ, the fragrance of his life, emanate from our souls into this world. May others be awakened to the fragrant life, the self giving, radically forgiving, co suffering life of our lord. May we all be awakened to this life that is ours in him today. And that's the 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.

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 podcast! In today's episode, Hunter takes us on a thought-provoking journey through the Bible. As we delve into Judges chapters 11 and 12, we encounter the story of Jephthah, a great warrior facing the challenges of rejection, leadership, and a heart-wrenching vow. We also traverse into Psalm 50, where God calls His people to genuine worship and thankfulness, and Second Corinthians chapter 1, where Paul shares about finding comfort amid suffering and the power of relying on God's presence. Hunter wraps up with heartfelt prayers and encourages us to lean on God's love and joy throughout our day. Join us as we explore God's word and reflect on how it speaks to our lives today. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Given the option, I'll rely on myself every time. Given the choice, I'll hold on to control with the death grip until I reach the point of death. My guess is you know that grip well. Well, God wants us to go beyond the death grip and utter self reliance and move us into something entirely new. A life of dependence and trust in his presence. It appears in two Corinthians that God allows us to go through these near death experiences in order to break our grip and open our hands to his. Paul says that he thought he would never live through the difficulties he was experiencing. He said it was so bad he expected to die. The purpose of these experiences was that he would learn to stop relying on himself, and rather to trust in God who raises the dead. In other words, we learn to rely on the power of the resurrection, the power of Christ's presence with us, in us, to release our grip and hold on to him. There's no escaping suffering in this world and I wish that I could fully explain the meaning of suffering in our life, but I can't. But what I can do in the face of suffering and its reality is to look to the one who came and suffered with us and for us that he might give us hope beyond our suffering. That we might even have joy in life in the wake of our suffering. And God is still doing that even today. He's still suffering with us. That's the nature of love, to suffer with. The word compassion literally means to suffer with. God is the self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering one. That's the nature of his love. And when this love meets you at the deepest level, at your deepest loss, in your deepest shame, in your deepest wounds, he begins to mend you and to heal you and not only you, but those around you who are suffering. That's what Paul described here in verse six. He said, for when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. If you're suffering today and you have a death grip on those circumstances, open up your hand to His. Experience His love today and let Him begin to heal and mend and to make you new. That's the prayer that I have for you today. 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.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another heart-stirring episode of the Daily Radio Bible, with your host, Hunter, guiding us through the scriptures on this final day of March. As we journey through the books of Judges, Psalms, and First Corinthians, Hunter invites us to reflect on the choices we make. From the story of Abimelech and his fateful decisions in the book of Judges, to the wisdom of entrusting our lives to God's hands, this episode encourages us to choose God's way over our own. Alongside the powerful scripture readings, Hunter offers prayers for guidance and reminds us of the immeasurable love that redeems us through Jesus Christ. Join us as we conclude the month with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit attuned to God's direction. Let's delve into the Word and allow it to shape us, reminding us of the profound truth that we are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Will it be 70 coins or 70 brothers? Will it be my way or God's way? Abimelech, son of Gideon, had a choice that day. He could choose his 70 brothers or he could choose 70 coins, coins that would be used to hire those who'd kill his brothers. He could live life on God's terms or he could be king in his own eyes with those 70 coins. It seems God is always giving us the opportunity to reaffirm our decisions: to make this life about us or to make it about Him. I can choose my way or I can choose God's way. My way always leads to blindness. God's way will lead to awakening. And I will see God, his provision, his victory, God's peace. Abimelech should have known that. He should've seen that in his father Gideon's life, but he chose not to see it. He chose to see things his own way. Abimelech would choose the 70 coins. His 70 brothers and many others would soon lose their lives because of that. And Abimelech himself would lose his life. Abraham made a choice under a tree, an oak tree in Shechem, the same place where this story has taken place, and he chose God's way. Under that tree, he reaffirmed his covenant relationship with God, and through him came the birth of many brothers from every tribe, language, nation, and people. All over the world, people like you and me have been added to the family of God because someone like Abraham chose God's way and not his own. God's way was for his son, a descendant of Abraham, to come and choose his father over and over again, all the way to the cross. He offered himself on a tree so that we might have the power to choose God's way and experience God's love and life every day. God now lives in and through us because of the choice Jesus made for his father. Jesus choosing the way of the father has made a way for us to see, to be awakened to his life, his provision, his victory, his peace, and his grace. Today, let's choose his way. Let's choose life. Let's choose the son. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the 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.

In today's episode, Heather leads us on day 89 of our journey through the scriptures. Together, we'll be diving into stories from Judges chapter eight, Psalm 42, and First Corinthians 15, seeking to see Jesus and warm our hearts around the fire of God's love.

With listeners gathering from all corners of the world, we invite the Holy Spirit to illuminate these passages and draw us closer to Christ. As we explore themes of victory, transformation, and resurrection power, may we be inspired to live in the power of the resurrection, experiencing change in our lives today through Christ in us. Join us, and let the journey through His word bring nourishment, peace, and joy to your day. You are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The resurrection changes everything. That's the wonderful secret. God is going to transform everything through the resurrection, and that resurrection power is available to us right here, right now. Let the transformation begin. We don't have to wait for the sound of the trumpet for the transformation to start. New creation has already begun. The victory has already been won by Christ himself, the second Adam. There is coming an ultimate transformation when this whole world, all creation, will be transformed with that same power that raised Christ from the dead. But right here, right now, you can begin to experience change in your own life through the power of Christ living in you. He is renewing your mind, healing your past, rehabilitating your imagination. Let the transformation begin even now through the power of Christ in you. That resurrection power is changing everything. Live in the power of the resurrection. Look to your Christ, the second Adam, who will turn this whole world right side up again someday. But until that day, allow the spirit to do his work in you, to fulfill his purposes through you. In this way, you will know his joy, and he will be glorified in you. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family and friends. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome back, dear listeners, to another heartwarming journey through the pages of the Bible with your host, Hunter, your dedicated Bible reading coach. It's day 88 of our exploration, and today we've got a lot to unpack. We're diving into the compelling narratives of Judges chapters six and seven, where we'll witness Gideon, the unlikely hero, as he grapples with his calling and rises to become the mighty warrior God destined him to be. We'll explore the haunting beauty of Psalm 52, a psalm of David, that speaks to the power of words and the justice of God. And finally, we journey to the New Testament, reflecting on the profound teachings of 1 Corinthians 14, where Paul guides us on the pursuit of gifts that strengthen the church. As always, we are here to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love, as Hunter encourages us to find our identity in who God says we are — mighty, loved, and called. So join us in reflection, prayer, and embrace the blessings of our time together today. Let's lean in and experience the richness of God's word and presence in our lives. You are truly loved, and we're grateful to have you with us. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: You are who God says you are. God called Gideon a mighty warrior. He didn't feel like a mighty warrior. He felt like he was the least of the least. That's what he told the angel of the Lord. I come from the least of the tribes of Israel, and I am the least within my own family. That's not what God called him. God didn't call him the least of the least. He called him a mighty warrior. Regardless of how you feel, you are who God says you are. You might be beaten up, exhausted, and hiding like Gideon was. But like Gideon, God will come and find you. He comes looking for people just like that. So that he might prove himself strong through us, he delights in making the least the greatest. And he ultimately will win the victory for us, just as he did for the 300 trumpet-blowing Israelites. It was God who won that victory. It was God who was showing himself strong among the least. In the end, it is God who says who we are. If he chooses to call you mighty warrior, then that, my friend, is who you are. Have you heard him call you daughter, son, friend? Well, that's who you are. You are who God says you are. So listen and receive the blessing of the name that he has given you. There's gonna be a time coming when we stand before God. In Revelation, we're told that there's a gift for those who overcome. It is a white stone, and on it will be written a name that no one understands but the one who receives it. You are who God says you are. So live in the light of that, Receive the blessing of it. And rise up into what he's calling you to do. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, and my daughters, and my son. And that's the 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.

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.

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.

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 latest episode of the Daily Radio Bible podcast with your host, Hunter, your brother and Bible reading coach. It's March 28th, 2025, and we're on day 88 of our journey through the Bible. Today, we dive into Judges chapters 4 and 5, exploring the leadership and faith of Deborah and Barak. We'll also reflect on the beautiful but sobering words of Psalm 39 and 41, and discover the timeless virtues of love in 1 Corinthians 13. Throughout the episode, Hunter encourages us to let love, as revealed through Jesus, animate our lives with purpose and meaning. So, open your hearts as we listen to these scriptures and let them point us to the one who is the living word of God. Let's embark on this spiritual journey together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: In our reading in Psalm 39 today, we hear these words, We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? Such sobering words are echoed in the verse of Shakespeare where we read this. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time, until all our yesteryears have lighted fools, the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Mere moving shadows, poor players strutting themselves about the stage, days filled with sound and fury, all of it meaning nothing. Whether it is the pursuit of the arts or power, prestige, pleasures, making a name for yourself, all of it in and of itself is laden with nihilism. It all renders down to nothing apart from this, apart from love. Paul tells us here very clearly that love is what animates our days with meaning. Love imbues every gesture in life with the eternal, and love's kind was revealed to us in the flesh in the life of Jesus. And so we look to him, friends. We look to him as the model of our life in love. It is a self-giving life, a radically forgiving life, a co-suffering life, a life that is patient and kind, not jealous, not boastful, not proud, nor is it rude. It doesn't demand its own way. It's not irritable, and it keeps no record of wrongs. It doesn't rejoice about injustice, but rejoices when the truth wins out. It never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through everything. So by his grace, dear friends, let us be reminded today that love can deliver us from a meaningless life and that God himself has gifted us with his love. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, and my daughters, and my son. And that's the 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

Welcome to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through the scriptures together. Today is March 27th, 2025, and I'm your host, Hunter, your brother, and Bible reading coach. As we gather to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love, we dive into the pages of the Bible, starting today with the book of Judges, chapters one through three, and wrapping up with First Corinthians, chapter 12. In Judges, we recount the ongoing journey of the Israelites from the conquests led by Judah to the leadership provided by the judges. We see the stories of victory, lessons learned, and repeated cycles of disobedience and redemption. This narrative reminds us of the importance of faithfulness and the consequences of turning away from God. Moving to First Corinthians, Paul discusses the diverse spiritual gifts given by the Holy Spirit, emphasizing unity within the body of Christ. Every believer has a part to play—a unique note to add to God's symphony. We are all part of God's grand masterpiece, crafted with purpose and deeply valued by Him. Join me in a time of prayer as we seek to live out our roles as part of God's divine symphony, embracing both our humanity and our participation in His divine nature. Let's immerse ourselves in the divine rhythms and discover what it means to be part of God's amazing poetic masterpiece. So, grab your Bible, settle in, and let's dive into this enlightening word together. You're not alone on this journey. You are loved, and I am glad for your company. Let's get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: You have a part to play. You have your own note to add to God's great symphony. You get to add your sound to God's amazing symphonic masterpiece. We actually get the word personality from the Latin word persona, literally meaning your sound. God has created you to offer your own note. He wants you to offer your sound to his great song. In Ephesians 2:10, it says, "We are God's masterpiece." That word masterpiece in the Greek is "poiema," which means poem. And God has expertly crafted you to be right in the place where you are, to be who you are. In learning to play our part, we must learn to accept our own humanity. And you should do this because God has. God has accepted your humanity. He's accepted all of humanity. He became one of us. Beyond that, he knows you. He knows all your secrets. He knows how frail you are. As the prophet says, "He knows that we are but dust." But he also knows that now, in Christ, you have become a partaker in the divine nature of God himself. You are deeply valued and cherished by God. And part of our journey is learning to discover what it means to be a partaker in the divine life of God. This does not mean that you are God, but it does mean that God has embraced you into his life. You are his child. We must learn both of these things as we learn to play our part in God's symphony: our humanity and our participation in God's divinity. And that lived out will begin to look like the giving of oneself, being radically forgiving in life, and learning to suffer alongside those who are in pain. Self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. This is what it looks like to live as the masterpiece that you really are. And that's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord 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...

Today is March 26th, and you are joining us on day 86 of our journey through the Bible, guided by your host and Bible reading coach, Hunter. Together, we will delve into the rich passages of Joshua chapters 23 and 24, Psalm 44, and 1 Corinthians 11. In this episode, Hunter explores the theme of faithfulness, reflecting on Joshua's charge to the Israelites and their bold declarations to serve the Lord. However, as Hunter reminds us, it was Christ who truly fulfilled what we could not, offering us the gift of life through His finished work. As we meditate on these scriptures and join in prayer, let this time be a source of comfort and strength, reminding us of God's presence and love in our lives. So, wherever you are, settle in as we spend these moments together in God's Word and in prayer. Enjoy today's episode! TODAY'S DEVOTION: We will serve the Lord—or so we say. This was the bold proclamation of the Israelites to Joshua. They promised their unwavering allegiance to God. Yet, Joshua challenged their declaration, asserting their inability to uphold such a promise. The cry of the flesh is loud—boasting of what it will do. Even Peter, in his own resolve, stated he would never disown the Lord. But before the rooster crowed, his flesh betrayed his resolve three times. Human resolve can be a frail thing; the flesh is prone to failure. What we truly need is someone who has already accomplished what we cannot. Enter our Lord Jesus. He didn't just promise obedience—He lived it. He perfectly upheld the covenant that Adam and all his descendants couldn't. Jesus served His Father completely, from beginning to end. He did it, and with His final breath, declared, "It is finished." Therefore, as followers of Christ, let us move away from the notion of what we will do, and rest in the confidence of what has been done. Jesus has accomplished it. It is finished. His work allows us to remain in the land, in Him, in His promises, and in life. Every day, remind your heart that He has done it. This is a prayer I hold for my own soul, for my family—my wife, daughters, and son—and for you. May it be so, as we continue to live in the victory secured by Christ. 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.

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.

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 today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the scriptures, letting God's word speak to our hearts. I'm your host, Hunter, and on this 84th day of our trek through the Bible, we're diving into the book of Joshua, chapters 21 and 22, Psalm 47, and 1 Corinthians 10. Today, we'll explore how the Israelites obeyed God's commands, dividing the land among the Levites through sacred lots. We'll also witness a tense moment among the tribes as potential conflict is resolved through understanding and faith. Then, we'll look to the New Testament for Paul's reminder of the struggles we face and the victorious life we are offered through Christ. Join me as we walk through these passages and open our hearts to the transformative love of God. Let's get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Paul is reminding us that we all struggle in the desert. We all experience temptation. In the Old Testament, the struggle in the desert took these people out. They failed to believe. They failed to enter into what God had done and who they now were. They were God's special possession. God had delivered them out of slavery into freedom. God had given them a land as their own, but they succumbed to the temptation of unbelief, and it resulted in their bodies being littered across the wilderness. They never realized who they were and how they were to exist, but not for us. Paul doesn't want us to get confused and think that these desert wanderings are some kind of example for us or to think that it is somehow analogous to us, to the normal Christian life to struggle and die in the wilderness, to struggle and fail with temptation, to have our bones littered about in the desert. No. The normal Christian life that Paul is pointing us to is the life of Christ living and abiding in you, the victorious life. Overwhelming victory has happened in Christ on the cross. Where Adam failed, Christ has won. First Corinthians fifteen twenty one says, for since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being. For as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ Jesus. The consequences of Christ's victory have fundamentally altered your being. You are no longer a slave. You are his special possession. You're his child. And this act of deliverance wasn't just for some obscure little tribe in North Africa. No. It was done for all humanity. You are in him. You have been drawn into the very life of God. This is the truth of your being, and it's all a gift. Will you have challenges? Will you have temptations and suffering in this life? Yes, you will. But that does not change what has happened to you. And the spirit's life in you now has made a way for you to endure through all these struggles in the grace and the peace of our Lord. Second Peter one four says, god has enabled you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires. The truth of our being is that Christ has made us partakers of his divine nature. The way of our being is now empowered by the nature of god himself, his presence in you. And here's the thing. I can go on and on talking about this. And some of you are thinking that maybe I have. But the truth is this, only god can reveal god. And so my prayer today is that god will reveal himself to you. He'll reveal the truth of your being to you that you will begin to realize what he did on that cross has changed everything. You are his. You are forgiven. You are loved. You are made new. You've been given freedom, and you've been given a new land to live in, a land that is flowing, flowing with life in him. As the revelation of Christ breaks forth in your heart, in your mind, you'll have a new power to live a new way, the way of faith and hope and love. It will be a self-giving life, a radically forgiving life, a co-suffering life. It'll be the cruciform life of Christ living his life in and through you. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. And 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.

I'm your host, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, here to guide you through our daily journey in the scriptures. Today marks day 83 of our biblical exploration, where we'll delve into the book of Joshua chapters 18 through 20 and then turn our attention to 1 Corinthians chapter 9. We'll uncover the sacred narrative of land allotment among the tribes of Israel and explore the profound teachings of the Apostle Paul. As we walk through these passages, we'll reflect on the manifold ways God's word speaks to our lives today, urging us to seize the blessings He has set before us and to live intentionally in His purpose. Join me as we embark on this spiritual journey together, allowing the Bible to be our guide and comfort. Let's dig deep into these passages and discover the rich wisdom and grace they have to offer us. Grab your Bible, settle in, and let's listen to God's voice together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The lesson of the ox. In the Bible, we have these strange obscure laws like don't muzzle an ox while it's threshing grain from Deuteronomy 25. And yet within these strange and obscure sayings, there are layered implications. God is speaking to farmers about treating their animals with care, but he's also picturing for us something more, something deeper. He's including these things for us, not just for the farmer. He wants to teach us something, about the way we should treat those who serve or care for us, who work on our behalf, who even work on behalf of our soul. So when we read through the Old Testament, it seems unrelated to our everyday experience, and it often does. I mean, how does muzzling an ox have anything to do with me? When we read these things, we shouldn't dismiss them. We need to see them for what they are. Yes. He is speaking to a farmer. And, yes, Joshua is speaking to the tribes of Israel. But God is speaking to us too. It was written not just for them, but for us. God is pointing us to a deeper reading. And sometimes, that's an allegorical reading or an analogous reading. In fact, many of the church fathers felt that a “spiritual” reading of scripture was a higher form of engagement with the text. They welcome this creative allegorical interpretation of the text. Maybe God would have you chart out what he has in front of you. Maybe he would have you sit down and write out the boundaries of his blessings and gifts for you. Maybe you would find, as the children of Israel did, that there are unoccupied lands and gifts yet to be realized in your life. Maybe God is wanting you to chart them or to go out and seize them. There's a lesson in the ox. This whole Bible that we are reading is written for us. It's not just about oxen and writing reports. It's about what God has done for us. It's a revelation of Him. It's about the God who gave us his life and learning to seize and live in the reality of it. So maybe we can all chart out what God has actually done for us. And when we do that, let's go out and occupy it. Let's seize it. Let's live in the reality of who we are in Christ. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the 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.

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...

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where your host, Hunter, guides us through the scripture, making space for divine insights and personal reflections. Today, we kick off with a heartfelt message from Alex, a long-time listener from Rotenfelds, Germany. Alex shares his spiritual journey, highlighting the transformative power of God's love—a theme that resonates throughout today's readings. We dive into the book of Joshua and the New Testament, where Hunter illuminates passages about land inheritance, identity, and the profound gifts God offers to His children. Whether you're tuning in from a bustling city or a quiet town, join us as we explore these timeless truths and engage in a moment of prayerful reflection. Remember, as Hunter always reminds us, you are loved. Let's jump right in. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Like many in our world, I grew up in a family with divorce. And there were times in my childhood when I was visiting my father where I didn't really feel at home. The home, its rooms, the yard, the toys, all of it really didn't feel like it was mine. It felt like they belong to someone else, to my step siblings. I felt displaced. I was an interloper. The point of this is not to blame any particular person for this. Sometimes these insecurities are just there. So for whatever reason, I failed to see myself for what I was, for who I was as the son of my father. And through the years, I've struggled with a diminished view of myself. I failed to fully understand my identity and hear the words of embrace and permission that are really offered to me by God. Words like the ones spoken by the tribe of Manasseh in today's reading. They were growing and they needed more land, and so they ask. The answer they get from Joshua when they ask was, take it. Take all you need. I marvel at things like this. I've often thought that to have more or to ask for more, well, that's for people for whom it was meant to be. People who are more deserving, more together, smarter, less broken than me. But Joshua doesn't say anything like that. To these people, he simply says, do you need more? Take all you need. We see the same kind of boldness from the five daughters of Zelophehad. I wonder whether these ladies had been taught by their father and mother to know how worthy and valuable they were. Even when the culture at that time would have said otherwise, somehow, they knew that they were worthy of their father's inheritance, and so they were bold enough to ask. They boldly come to Joshua and say, the Lord commanded Moses to give us a grant of land along with the men of our tribe. In other words, this is ours, and we're here to take it. I marvel at this courage and the clarity to see and to know who they really were. The same can be true for us, for all of us today. Because we have a good father who is making it clear how valuable you are and that you are worthy of his inheritance, not because you've lived up to some standard or you've been a good child, but because of who you are. You're family. You're his child, and he is good. We can have clarity and boldness to see and to take what is ours in Christ. Let these five daughters of Zelophehad speak to you today, and then reach out and take what is yours. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, for my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be yours, and 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

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 today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible. It's March 22nd, 2025, and we're on day 81 of our journey through the Bible. I'm your host, Hunter, and I'm delighted to have you join us, whether this is your first day with us or you've been here from the start. Together, we're diving into the pages of Scripture, allowing them to direct our hearts toward the living word of God. Today, we'll be delving into the book of Joshua, chapters 12 through 14, as well as 1 Corinthians chapter seven. We'll explore the conquests of the Israelites under Joshua's leadership, understand the allotment of lands, and delve into the wisdom shared by Paul regarding marriage and relationships. Throughout this episode, we'll reflect on the nature of faith as exemplified by Caleb, who, even in his old age, remained unwavering in his faith and determination. We'll also take some time to engage in prayer, reminded of God's everlasting presence and love in our lives. So, settle in as we embark on another enlightening journey through the Bible. Let the words of Scripture inspire and transform as we seek to navigate life through the lens of faith and love. Let's get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Unbelief looks at giants and backs away. Faith looks at the mountain that is God and says, give me that mountain. Give me God. Caleb saw how big God was, and the giants seemed small. Some of us have the gift of faith like Caleb, yet we can all grow in faith and cultivate our faith no matter how old we are. Paul says, faith comes from hearing, that is hearing the good news about Christ. The Bible helps to expand our imaginations so that we can begin to see more fully who we are. And this faith that God gives will enable us to take territory that God wants us to occupy in this life right now. So come each day to his word, not because it's magic, but because the rehabilitation of our minds will take place as God begins to give us his vision for the world and for our very life. We'll begin to see things from his perspective. We'll begin to understand ourselves in the light of God's love, and this, my friend, will change everything. So don't let the years deplete your faith. Grow old like Caleb, growing in faith until the very end. And like Caleb, let us say, give me this mountain. I want the mountain that is God himself. Hallelujah. May that 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.

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 back, dear listeners, to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible. It's March 21st, 2025, and we're diving deep into powerful passages from the book of Joshua and 1 Corinthians. I'm Hunter, your brother, and your Bible reading coach, here to guide us on this journey through the Word. Today, we venture through Joshua chapters 9 to 11, witnessing the cunning of the Gibeonites and Joshua's epic battles, showcasing faith interwoven with shrewdness and cunning. We then turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 6, where we are prompted to consider how our faith shapes our interactions within the community. Echoing through these narratives is the call to a faith that is not just wise but rooted deeply in God. Let's allow these scriptures to challenge and encourage us as they point us to the living Word, Jesus. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's explore these timeless truths together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Now the Gibeonites were wise, and you might say that their wisdom was rooted in a kind of faith. The same kind of faith Rahab had. Both had confidence that God was going to give the land to Israel. They both responded in fear before God's people, and both acted with wisdom and cunning in order that their people might be saved. In the end, the Gibeonites would be saved by their faith just as Rahab had been saved by her faith. It's their faith in God, the God of Israel, that causes them to make peace with the God of Israel even when their shrewdness was deceitful. They didn't trust in their power, their might, their alliances. No. They sought to make peace with God. There is a shrewdness in these Gibeonites. Their deception leads to their deliverance. They, like Rahab, saw that the God of Israel was a God of deliverance; they recognized that this God delivered the Hebrew people out of Egypt and was giving them this land. And so they were shrewd. They were deceitful. And in their shrewd deceit, they found deliverance. Sometimes faith looks a lot like shrewdness. Jesus tells a parable of the shrewd manager who makes friends with all of his master's debtors in order that he might be delivered from his own financial ruin. He gave away what was not his in order that he might have life. And in a similar way, the people of Gideon gave away something in order that they might have life. They were shrewd, And Jesus commends this kind of shrewdness, the willingness to let go, to give away, to not hold on and insist on my own way. This is the way of faith, and sometimes it looks cunning and shrewd, and sometimes it finds its way into very practical situations in life, like the conflict between sisters and brothers in Christ. Sometimes there must be a shrewdness, a willingness to let go, to give something away in order for there to be peace. This is in part what Paul's trying to show us in our Corinthian reading today. The Corinthians, the Gibeonites, you and I are called to live by faith. A faith that is shrewd, A faith that invests itself primarily in our relationships with God, his people, and this world. And often, we need to give something away to let go of our own way in order that we might have life. May God give us faith that is shrewd, that is cunning, wise, and obedient. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son, and that's the 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...

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 podcast, where each day we embark on a journey through the scriptures, nourishing our souls with the transformative power of God's Word. In today's episode, titled "March 20th, 2025," our host Hunter invites us to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. Hunter, your Bible reading coach and brother, guides us through passages from Joshua chapters 7 and 8, Psalm 69, and 1 Corinthians chapter 5. Together, we explore the story of Achan in Joshua—his hidden sins and their dire consequences—yet we're reminded of the redemptive light that Jesus brings into our own lives. As we delve into Psalm 69, we join in David's heartfelt cries for salvation and deliverance. And in 1 Corinthians, Paul addresses pressing issues of immorality in the church, urging us to live in sincerity and truth. Join us as we reflect deeply on these passages and turn our hearts to prayer, seeking God's guidance and peace in our lives. Let's embrace the love and grace that Christ offers, forever walking forward in His strength. As always, remember this truth—no matter where you are in your journey, you are loved. So, lace up your walking shoes, breathe deeply, look up, and say thank you to the One who walks alongside you. Let's dive into this rich time of scripture and prayer together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: In this particular story, Achan had won a battle on the outside, but on the inside, he didn't win. He was hiding treasures that were not for him. And this moment really exposes the heart of Achan. And it wasn't just Achan in the end who would suffer because of the problem of his heart. In the end, his whole family would suffer the consequences along with 36 Israelite soldiers that would die in battle. All because of the problem in Achan's troubled heart. We all struggle with things that are buried deep in our past, just as Achan had. Do we have something in our heart that we have tried to bury and refuse to trust God with? Well, that's an important question. Well, there's someone far better than Joshua in this story. Jesus. Jesus wants to help us unearth the secrets in our life. And in exchange, he doesn't offer punishment in death. He comes and meets us there, in those places that are deeply hidden and in need of forgiveness. His grace. Achan was taken and stoned and burned in judgment, but the one that has come into our life has come into the world. He's come to defeat that death that resides in us. He's come to shine his light there in that darkness. He's come to set us free by his life, his death, and his resurrection. He did this because he loves all the Achans in the world, with things buried deep in our hearts that we have no answer for. Jesus has come into our house, into our hearts, and he's come to set us free. So let's live in the light of this amazing love today, and let's rejoice in all that God has done for us. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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.

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, dear friends! I'm so glad to have you join me on day 78 of our journey through the scriptures. Today, we're diving into the vibrant stories found in the book of Joshua, chapters 3 to 6, and ending with rich reflections from First Corinthians chapter 4. In our reading, we witness the Israelites led by Joshua, crossing into the Promised Land and experiencing incredible acts of God, like the miraculous crossing of the Jordan River and the fall of Jericho. As we explore First Corinthians, we reflect on Paul's insights about the kingdom of God and the humility and love that define it. Through prayer and scripture, we'll delve into the profound message that it's not about pretentious power but about the selfless love embodied by Christ. So, get ready to be inspired and encouraged in your faith journey today. Let's embark on this spiritual adventure together! TODAY'S DEVOTION: The kingdom of God is marked not by the grandeur and power of earthly empires but by the humble, self-giving love of Christ. In Paul's writing to the Corinthians, he emphasizes that God's kingdom is not about pretentious speech or human power. Instead, it is expressed through God's self-giving, radically forgiving, co suffering love. This is so contrary to the way we often view power and success, yet it's precisely where the true strength of the kingdom lies. Think for a moment about Jesus, the King of this kingdom, who comes riding on a donkey's colt, crowned with thorns, appearing defeated on the cross. But it is in this very act of humility and sacrifice that Christ conquers death and reconciles us to God. There is no pretense, no arrogance—only love, pure and sacrificial. As we follow Jesus, let's allow the Lamb of God to lead us deeper into this kingdom life. Let's rid ourselves of all pretense and ambition to build our own empires. Instead, embrace the self giving love that defines God's kingdom. It's a love that is radically forgiving and always willing to suffer alongside others. This kingdom life calls us away from the lures of earthly power and invites us into a life characterized by forgiveness, humility, and love. It's a transformation that affects our soul deeply, extending out to our families and communities. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, dear ones, where today marks the 77th day of our journey through the scriptures. I'm your host, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, here to join you daily as we immerse ourselves in the wonders of God's Word. In our episode today, we embark on a new adventure with the book of Joshua, chapters one and two, delve into the depths of Psalm 37, and explore the wisdom of First Corinthians chapter three. Get ready to be inspired as we witness the unfolding promises of God in Joshua's leadership, feel the comfort of Psalm 37's assurance, and receive guidance on living a life rooted in spiritual foundation through First Corinthians. Together, let's let the sacred texts illuminate our hearts and souls. We'll discover how God leads the Israelites through Joshua, with words of strength, courage, and unwavering presence. Explore the transformative journey of Rahab and her integral role in God's redemption story, reminding us of the divine pursuit of every heart. Let us delight in the profound truths of the Psalms and Corinthians, which call us to trust in the Lord, embrace generosity, and live a life in alignment with the Holy Spirit. Join me in a time of prayer as we bring these timeless scriptures into our lives. Thank you for dedicating these precious moments to connect with the heart of God. Let's journey together today in His joy and strength. You are loved, my friends—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Be strong and courageous, the lord tells Joshua. He also tells Joshua that wherever he places his foot, God will give him that land. In other words, God's saying, I will be with you each step of the way. I will enable you to claim all that is yours. It's so beautiful. It's so encouraging that the first steps that are taken into the promised land are taken in the most unlikely of places. The spies step into the home of a prostitute, Rahab. Through them, God is going in and taking possession of what is his. Rahab is his. Her heart is his. Her family belongs to him. The scarlet thread of redemption is woven through the most unlikely of places and brings salvation to the most unlikely of homes. And Rahab's life plays into our redemption story. She's right there in the genealogical line of another Joshua, Yeshua, Jesus, who would come hundreds of years later. She's a direct ancestor of Jesus, the Messiah, the lamb of God. God's feet come to Rahab, and they come to you. They come to the whole world. He's taking possession of what is his. He's invading homes, families' lives. He's invaded this world. How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news. The good news of peace and salvation. The news that the God of Israel reigns. God sends his gospel to the most unlikely of places. However, he gave priority to this woman. Above all the other citizens of Jericho, he went to her house. God makes her a priority. God has made a priority of you, my friend. Let us live in the light of this good news today. The god who's pursued us come into our homes. Draw strength from his love. Draw strength and be courageous. He's with you every step of the way, so take hold of and possess all that is yours in him. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. And that's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Moses, standing on a mountain, doesn't enter the promised land. Do you feel the weight of that? Yet, this moment in scripture isn't about exclusion; it's a profound illustration of how God's promises unfold in our lives. It's a visual parable of the law versus grace. Moses represents the law, and we see that it isn't by law that we enter into God's promises. Joshua, whose name means Yeshua or Jesus, symbolizes the grace that leads us in. The message here is about faith over the law. The righteous will live by faith, not by our adherence to the rules, but through grace—a gift we don't earn but receive. Moses caught a glimpse of the land through faith, but it is Joshua, the symbol of Jesus, who leads us into life and promise. The way of faith is how we truly enter and live out God's promises every day. Reflect on Paul's words in 1 Corinthians today. He unveils the wisdom of God, not in human logic, but in the power and mystery of faith—faith that hinges on Jesus and the cross. It isn't by our efforts, traditions, or upbringing that we secure our place, but solely God's Spirit at work within us. This devotion challenges us: trust in God's wisdom and His timing. Though Moses didn't walk the promised land in life, he was transformed through the resurrection. His feet touched down in the promise, standing with Elijah and Jesus on the Mount Of Transfiguration. It's a depiction of God's promise fulfilled, a foreshadowing of faith bringing us all home. In your life, know this truth: God doesn't abandon you. Even when you feel lost, He sees you, understands where you are, and brings you into His promise. We each have our mountaintops, our glimpse of what is to come, and through faith, we walk into the promise Jesus secured for us on the cross. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. 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 DEVOTION: Hello, dear listeners, and welcome to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible. I'm your host, Hunter, and we're diving into Day 76 of our journey through the Bible. Today, we'll explore the powerful words found in the book of Deuteronomy, chapters 32 through 34, and wrap up with insights from 1 Corinthians chapter two. Join me as we reflect on the profound teachings of Moses, the transition of leadership to Joshua, and the wisdom of God's spirit revealed to us through Christ. Let's embark on this inspiring journey together, filled with the promise of new beginnings and the assurance of God's love. And remember, as we navigate this season of change, you are deeply loved. So take a moment, breathe in the beauty of life, and enjoy the blessings surrounding you. Let's get started! 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

In today's episode, we have our wonderful guest, Heather, joining us for a thoughtful and spiritually illuminating journey through the scriptures. It's day 75 of our year-long exploration, and together, we'll dive into Deuteronomy chapters 30 and 31, Psalm 40, and wrap up with 1 Corinthians 1. This episode is an invitation to see Jesus as the source of our life and to gather around the warmth of God's love with people from all corners of the globe. Let the Holy Spirit illuminate the scriptures for us as we explore the depths of these passages, seeking understanding and a closer connection to Christ. Remember, we are all on this journey together, and you are loved. Let's jump in and be enriched by the Word today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What seems foolish and ineffective to the world is Christ's atoning sacrifice on the cross. He is the spotless lamb of God, the perfect atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world. His sacrifice was not carried out when we were honoring Him, but when we were at our most rebellious. In the darkest moments, when we were at odds with God, He chose to unite Himself to us. His death bridges the chasm of our sin, inviting us into a reconciled relationship. The truth of His union with us when we were at our lowest is a testament to His love and grace. The only remaining step is for us to trust in this truth, trust in His ultimate sacrifice. For the world, this act may seem weak or foolish, but for those of us being saved, it becomes the bedrock of our life and hope. Christ's union with you is completed; now, it is time to awaken to this new reality. Embrace the freedom derived from His forgiveness. Be His witnesses in this world, embodying the all-giving, forgiving, and co-suffering love of Jesus. Christ has united Himself to us, and in this unity, we are called to be His hands and feet. The world finds wisdom in power and intellect, but God uses what the world deems foolish and weak to reveal His strength. Through His sacrifice, we find our true identity and purpose as redeemed and reconciled citizens of His kingdom. May we grasp and share this profound truth, living as ambassadors of the life Christ has made available to us. Stepping into this abundant life is an ongoing transformation, a journey toward embodying the love and freedom afforded to us by Christ Himself. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my friends, for my family. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another enlightening episode of Daily Radio Bible! I'm your host, Hunter, and today marks day 74 of our immersive journey through the Bible. Together, we're opening our hearts and minds to the profound words of Deuteronomy chapters 28 and 29, as well as Galatians chapter 6. We'll explore deep themes like blessings and curses, obedience, and the powerful principle of love and faith that transforms us into a new creation. Come and join us as we reflect on God's love and navigate the rich terrain of Scripture, letting it elevate and nourish our souls. We'll also spend moments in prayer, inviting God's peace, joy, and transformative presence into our lives. Let's gather by the fires of God's love and see how His word speaks to us today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Quid pro quo. This for that. If you do this, you will receive that. That's the old principle of the law. If you keep this covenant and obey all its terms and obligations, then you will receive the blessing of the covenant. But if you fail to keep all the terms and obligations, then you will receive the curses described in the covenant. Quid pro quo. This for that. I hope we can all see how impossible this is for people like you and me. How absolutely terrifying it is. People like us simply can't live up to the standard of holiness that's described here. The level of faithfulness needed to achieve that blessing is beyond our grasp. Thankfully, we see in Galatians a new principle at work, a new promise, a new contract. It's not quid pro quo. It's something altogether different. Instead, this new principle is based upon what God has done for us on the cross. It's based upon a clearer and complete revelation that is Christ himself. God in his great love and mercy recognizes that we are unable to meet the demands of this for that. Jesus has fulfilled the terms of that first agreement so that we might know its blessing. He did that on the cross. A new principle is at work in our lives because of him and what he's done. Paul describes it as a new creation. When we read these passages in Deuteronomy, we have to ask, is this what God is really intending for humanity? Is this truly reflective of God's heart? If you don't do what I say, you will be wiped out in the most heinous ways thinkable? You know, the Bible reflects the periods and the times with which it was written, and it also reflects how people understood God in the context of their times and the surrounding culture. And God lets his children tell the story of God, but he doesn't leave us there. No. He will give the final word on who he really is and how he is to be understood and what kind of relationship he is establishing with humanity. And he doesn't simply leave it to prophets and describes to write about. No. He comes in person. He shows up in the flesh. God's final word is Jesus. He is the logos of God. And the new principle is the way of the cross. Self-giving, sacrificial love on behalf of those who have nothing to give. It's not quid pro quo. This for that. Now God is not capricious. He's not overly sensitive and insecure. No. God is like Jesus. He is God. The new principle is the way of the cross. The cross, which is the ultimate demonstration of the self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering, love for God, for others, for the world. So let me encourage you all to take a deep breath after reading through Deuteronomy today and realize that God has shown us who he really is. It seemed completely and fully wonderfully in the face of Jesus. Jesus has achieved for us all the blessings of god. He accomplished this by defeating death and the grave on the cross by giving himself on behalf of all. And now the new principle is that of a new creation achieved by the cross, the cruciform love of God. Let us live in that reality with gratitude and love. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the 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.
