In this "From The Archives" episode, we revisit this popular series entitled Seven Vital Steps to Building a Christian Family, based on Deuteronomy 6. God charged Israel to live distinctly from surrounding culture and to actively pass that faith down to children and grandchildren. This is a multi-generational, slow-built process rather than a quick fix. Step One: The Fear of the Lord Psalm 33:8, Psalm 33:18, Psalm 34:7, Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 1:7, 1:29, 8:13, 10:27, 14:27 — Fearing God is tied to wisdom, knowledge, protection, and a fuller life. Practical ways to cultivate reverence in kids Congregational singing as an act of worship and awe Daily gratitude and prayer at meals Careful, deliberate use of God's name in the home Creating "awe" experiences
When you feel weak, forgotten, or ready to quit, Jesus does not measure your life by its headlines. He calls you to hold fast, trust His authority, and stay faithful.In this message, you'll explore Jesus' encouragement to a church that had little worldly strength but refused to abandon its faith. The message confronts our instinct to force doors open, control outcomes, and measure success by influence, while pointing us back to dependence on Christ. Jesus is the One who opens doors, strengthens the weak, and gives His people an identity that cannot be shaken.Whether you're discouraged in your marriage, parenting, work, ministry, or calling, this message speaks to the part of you wondering whether you can keep going. If prayer feels unanswered or life feels unstable, discover how faithfulness in your current assignment can become an act of trust.In this message you'll discover:— Why Jesus' authority matters when you are trying to force doors open.— How God works through dependence and weakness rather than self-sufficiency.— Why your neighborhood, workplace, family, and current season are not accidents but assignments.— How to stop fighting every critic, hold fast to Jesus, and keep going when quitting feels easier.Key Scriptures: Revelation 3:7–13, Isaiah 22:22, John 10:9, Matthew 5:3, Galatians 6:9, Romans 12:19, Psalm 59:16

Read OnlineFrom Humble BeginningsJesus proposed a parable to the crowds. “The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.” Matthew 13:31–32Today's Gospel presents two brief yet profoundly rich parables—the mustard seed and the leaven—each revealing distinct dimensions of the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven. Together, they draw our attention to the Kingdom's humble beginnings and hidden power, which unfold silently yet irresistibly in the world and within the human soul.Each parable possesses layers of meaning, and the Church Fathers deeply explored these levels. In the Parable of the Mustard Seed, the seed is frequently interpreted as Christ Himself. As “the smallest of all the seeds,” the mustard seed illustrates the hiddenness and apparent insignificance of Christ's earthly life, from a worldly point of view. He entered the world in obscurity, born in a cave in Bethlehem, fleeing into exile in Egypt, and growing up in the humble village of Nazareth. His divinity—the Eternal Word through whom all things were made—was veiled beneath the lowliness of His humanity.Even as He hung upon the Cross, His divine majesty was hidden from the eyes of the world. Yet from this seed of self-emptying love—this total descent into poverty and death—sprang forth the triumph of the Resurrection, shattering the bonds of sin and death. In His risen glory, Christ has become the “largest of plants,” and, as the parable says, “the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.” This image is often understood as a symbol of the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, in which the peoples of the earth find shelter, nourishment, and eternal hope.The mustard seed also represents Christ planted within each soul. When He is sown in the fertile ground of our hearts—through faith, prayer, and the Sacraments—He takes root and grows, transforming our lives from within. Though His presence may begin in us imperceptibly, it has the power to expand beyond all measure, bearing fruit not only in our lives but in the lives of all those we encounter. Ultimately, this growth finds its consummation in the New Heavens and the New Earth, where the Kingdom of God will be fully revealed.The second parable—the leaven—expresses a similar truth in another form. The leaven is often interpreted as Christ or His grace, working silently and effectively. Mixed into three measures of flour, it gradually transforms the entire batch—symbolizing the hidden work of grace within the soul. Here, Christ is not only among us, but within us, sanctifying every part of our being from the inside out.Today's Gospel concludes with a beautiful citation from “the prophet,” taken from Psalm 78:2: “I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 13:35). On the surface, the parables appear simple, but they conceal divine truths from those who approach with indifference or pride. Yet for those who receive them in faith and prayerfully ponder them, the Holy Spirit opens the inner meaning. What was hidden from the beginning of creation is now disclosed—not to the wise and learned of this world, but to the humble of heart. In this way, the parables serve as a school of divine wisdom, inviting the soul to move beyond mere appearances into the depths of God's eternal plan.Reflect today on the hidden ways in which Christ is at work in your life. Are you attentive to His quiet growth within you? Do you nourish the seed of His presence through prayer and the Sacraments? Trust that, even in small beginnings, God is building His Kingdom—in you, through you, and for His greater glory.Most glorious King, You desire that Your Kingdom be born within our lives through the grace poured out by Your Passion, Death, and Resurrection. Come to me, Lord, and plant the seed of grace deep within my soul. Let it take root and grow, transforming me according to Your perfect will. Through me, expand Your Kingdom on earth, until the day we behold the fullness of Your eternal Kingdom in glory. Jesus, I trust in You.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together each day through the Scriptures. In today's episode, Hunter guides us through dramatic moments from Isaiah 36 and 37, revealing the challenges faced by King Hezekiah as the Assyrian army threatens Jerusalem. We'll also reflect on the hope and triumph found in Psalm 76, and discover the message of enduring faith and joy in trials from First Peter chapter one. Join Hunter as he encourages us to trust in God's faithfulness through the hard seasons, find joy beyond our trials, and root our lives in the life-giving Word. Settle in for a time of scripture, reflection, and prayer as we renew our hearts in God's presence today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are trials ahead, but there is strength for the trial and joy beyond that. First Peter 1:6 says, so be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. Trials are certain, and sometimes the little while doesn't seem that little. We all go through trials. No one is exempt. We all face hard times, really hard times. We've all gone through a pandemic, for crying out loud. And yet our hope lies in the promise of hope and even joy beyond that. Unfortunately for many of us, the trials of this life can lead to despair and defeat. The walls of our souls begin to crumble under the weight. Hezekiah was tempted to crumble in fear, to accept defeat. He could see the circumstances and the outcomes of all those other kingdoms. They had crumbled when facing the overwhelming terror of the Assyrian king and his armies. But instead of crumbling, Hezekiah turned to God. He didn't go to Egypt for help. He didn't try to manipulate his way out by surrendering or offering some tribute. He didn't give in to despair. No. Instead he trusted God, and God gave him the victory. But that victory took some time. Isaiah told him that it would take three years, but to hold on because there would be joy ahead. He let him know that the first year would be hard, very lean. The people would eat only what grows up by itself. The second year it would be a little easier. They would eat what sprang up from the first growth. But in the third year, they would see a breakthrough. In that third year, they would plant crops and harvest them. They would tend vineyards and eat their fruit. And those who escaped the ravages of the siege, who endured the hard times and had gone through the trials, would put roots down in their own soil. They would grow and flourish. There it is. We're all going to go through hard times, but there's strength available in the trials. And beyond that, there's joy. It may take some time. It may take a season or several seasons, but if we lay out our hearts before God and trust him, we can find the strength we need. If we believe him that these trials are for a season, then we can find joy. Our roots will grow down into the soil of his faithfulness, and we will flourish. 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 sons. 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.

Audio taken from the live recording of "Does Bible Prophecy Really Prove Jesus is the Messiah? - Prophetic Evidence That Skeptics Try To Dismiss" - https://youtu.be/ijH24C8Dz_QFor centuries, critics have dismissed Jesus as just another religious figure. Yet the Hebrew Scriptures, written centuries before His birth, contain precise, detailed prophecies that appear to describe Him with uncanny accuracy.The question is no longer simply academic. It is urgent and unavoidable: Does Bible prophecy really prove Jesus is the Messiah? In this study I will be examining 3 key prophetic tracks that over evidence for Jesus Christ being the promised Messiah:1 - Messianic Prophecy and the Prophets2 - Messianic Prophecy and the Pedigree3 - Messianic Prophecy and the ProofKey Scriptures used in today's teaching: Luke 24:44-48Other Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6-7; Micah 5:2; Psalm 22:6-8; Psalm 22:16-18; Zechariah 12:10; Genesis 3:15; Genesis 12:3; 22:18; Genesis 49:10; Genesis 12:3; Genesis 17:21; Genesis 28:14; Genesis 49:8; Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5Unless stated otherwise, most Scripture is read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!

Wright welcomes Tom Anderson, author of From Sinnership to Sonship: The Story of Becoming. Tom shares how God transformed his marriage, deepened his faith, and led him from feelings of inadequacy into the security of biblical sonship.Drawing from the lives of Adam, Abraham, and Peter, Tom explains why spiritual transformation is a journey. Abraham began as a man who believed in God but struggled to believe what God said about him. Through waiting, testing, surrender, and “hoping against hope,” Abraham grew into his God-given identity.You will discover:What Tom means by the “I am not” mentality of sinnershipHow sonship provides worth, significance, and spiritual securityWhy God often sends a word before meeting a needHow God used Isaiah 43:18–19 to bring restoration to Tom's marriageWhat Adam's garden teaches us about purpose, service, and stewardshipWhy your marriage, family, workplace, and relationships are gardens entrusted to your careHow Abraham's journey illustrates believing, hoping, surrendering, and becomingWhy trials may be part of God's process of teaching you to trust HimHow knowing you are loved by the Father changes the way you live and serveYour identity is not based upon your achievements, possessions, position, or past failures.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the July 23rd, 2025 episode of the Daily Radio Bible. I'm Hunter, your brother and Bible reading coach, coming to you from the beautiful Oregon coast. Today, we continue our journey through the Scriptures, reading from 2 Kings 20, Isaiah 38 and 39, Psalm 75, and 1 Peter 2. Together, we'll open our hearts to receive from the God who is love, reflect on the nature of lasting change in our lives, the importance of craving spiritual nourishment, and lift our voices in prayer for ourselves, our families, and our world. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's draw near to God's Word as we discover his faithfulness and mercy afresh. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Change requires work. Change of appetites, change of habits. Changing the things we turn to instead of turning from. It's going to take some work, and that's going to take some time. You might be sick and tired of your way of doing things. Maybe you're just exhausted with yourself. If so, Peter tells us right here that getting rid of the things you want to change isn't going to be enough. If we just remove it, when the troubles come, when we're stressed out, we're going to go right back to where we've been and do the things we've done before. No, simply stopping what you're doing doesn't bring about the change that you want. It's not just stopping, no. It will also require starting to crave something new. The answer is never just to get rid of the old, to sweep the cupboards of all the junk food. No. You've got to change your diet and begin craving something altogether different: the pure spiritual milk of God's Word. It requires a total change of diet. We must replace it and not just remove it. We need to assume a childlike heart and crave the pure spiritual milk of the Word. The Word is Christ. To draw from Christ our nourishment, our comfort, our life. Peter says become like a baby in that regard—totally dependent upon him. Peter says if we do that, we will begin to experience change, real change, from the inside out. So let's do that. Let's continue to show up here each and every day to train our souls, to partake of God's food, his milk, his bread, to be dependent upon him for our very breath. It's not just about getting rid of things—it's about him, finding our life in him, learning something new altogether as we come to him, the source of our true nourishment and life. 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. 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.

Dr. Steven Paulson and Caleb Keith explore why Lutherans place public absolution at the center of worship and how it differs from approaches that emphasize repentance as a human work. Looking at Psalm 51, they explain Luther's claim that we don't fully know our sin through the law alone—we come to understand the depth of our sin when God first forgives it through His promise. The conversation shows how absolution creates faith, reveals true repentance, and keeps the Gospel, rather than our efforts, at the heart of the Christian life.

The Narcissist Wants You to Believe This Lie Have you ever confronted a narcissist with undeniable proof, only to have them deny everything, twist the facts, or completely rewrite what happened? If you've ever left a conversation wondering, "Did that really happen the way I remember it?" or "Am I losing my mind?"—you're not alone. In this episode of Help! I Have a Narcissist in My Life, Laurel Slade-Waggoner explains why narcissists lie, deny, and rewrite history, and more importantly, how you can protect your sanity without getting pulled into their distorted version of reality. You'll learn why narcissists often refuse to acknowledge the truth, how gaslighting and history rewriting are used to maintain control, and why trying to convince them to admit the truth usually leads to more confusion and emotional exhaustion. Most importantly, you'll discover six biblical principles to help you stay grounded in reality, strengthen your emotional resilience, and keep your peace—even when someone is determined to manipulate your perception of the truth. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why narcissists lie, deny, and rewrite history • How gaslighting slowly erodes your confidence • The real reason narcissists avoid accountability • What DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) looks like in real life • How narcissists use selective memory and confabulation to manipulate others • Six practical ways to stay anchored in truth and protect your sanity • Biblical encouragement for overcoming deception and emotional manipulation • Why you don't have to accept someone else's distorted reality If you're dealing with a narcissistic spouse, parent, adult child, sibling, coworker, or friend, this episode will help you recognize destructive patterns, remain emotionally grounded, and walk in truth instead of confusion. Remember: You are not crazy. You are not alone. God sees the truth, and He is with you every step of the way. ---

Sometimes discouragement arrives with a long list of justifications. And sometimes it settles in for no obvious reason at all, quietly smothering the smiles that should be there, draining the joy that ought to fuel the day. Either way, the result is the same: days wasted without the delight that God intends for His children, even while His blessings sit quietly uncounted all around us. The solution is simple and genuinely hard all at once: when we want to grow our joy, we need to grow our gratitude. Psalm 9:1 models exactly this — giving thanks to the Lord with a whole heart, recounting His wonderful deeds one by one. The enemy knows what happens when we lock our gaze on God's goodness. We give God more glory. We praise Him more freely. And our joy grows deeper and more resilient than any circumstance can touch. That is precisely why Satan works so persistently to keep us focused on disappointment, distraction, and darkness. Gratitude is an act of spiritual resistance. It is fighting back by fighting forward — turning our eyes to God's good promises, proclaiming His praise, and naming out loud every small, large, and beautiful blessing He has placed before us. Do it in the hard seasons especially. Write them down, whisper them in prayer, speak them alongside other believers in worship. Make it a habit, and watch what begins to grow. Check out Keri's latest book, Win Over Worry: Conquer What Shakes You and Soar With the One Who Overcomes. You can find it on Amazon or at your favorite online retailer. Today's Bible Verse "I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds."— Psalm 9:1, ESV Ponder Today Gratitude and joy are directly connected. When joy feels distant, gratitude is almost always the fastest path back to it. Counting God's blessings is not a surface-level spiritual exercise — it is a soul-deep practice that genuinely shifts our perspective and our experience. The enemy works persistently to keep us camped on hardship. Satan knows that a heart fixed on God's goodness is a heart that praises freely and grows in joy. Choosing gratitude, especially in difficult seasons, is an act of spiritual resistance. Wholehearted thankfulness is what produces the fullness we long for. Psalm 9:1 does not call for polite acknowledgment — it calls for the whole heart. Halfhearted gratitude produces halfhearted joy. Give all of it to God and watch what happens. A Prayer for You Today Lord Jesus, I thank You with my whole heart for all the wonderful things You have given and done. On hard days and in long seasons of struggle, I find my mind camped on hardships and I lose sight of Your abundant blessings. But I know that is when I am depriving myself of the joy You long for me to have. When I fix my eyes and whole heart on You and Your goodness and thank You over and over for Your constant flow of blessings, joy grows and abounds in my life. Help me stay in a state of gratitude, because I certainly have so much to praise You for — every moment, every day, and always. Thank You, thank You, thank You, Lord. Amen.

A scientific study—which sought to explore how much of people’s musical sensitivity is cultural and how much of it is instinctual—played drum rhythms for newborn babies while monitoring their brain wave activity. Occasionally, the researchers would omit a beat from the rhythm. Amazingly, they found the infants’ brain waves spiked right when the note was left out—showing their young minds were already anticipating that beat and reacting to its absence. The study brings to mind the amazing way that God has created us. He’s even wired us to embrace the wonderful gift of music and respond to it with joy. And, as the psalmist David writes in Psalm 30, to respond to God’s grace with music of our own—songs of “praise to his holy name” (v. 4). Yet pain, exhaustion, regret, or grief can sometimes weigh our hearts down and threaten to silence our songs of praise. Experiencing despair, even fearing death, David pleaded with God to deliver, asking “What is gained if I am silenced? . . . Will the dust praise you?” (v. 9). David did experience God’s faithfulness as joy was restored once more, as God turned his “wailing into dancing” and “clothed [him] with joy” (v. 11). As God heals our hearts and fills them with the rhythms of joy we were born to dance to, we too can testify: “Lord my God, I will praise you forever” (v. 12).

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through scripture together, exploring its relevance and hope for our daily lives. On this 22nd day of July, join Hunter, your Bible reading coach, as we read from Isaiah 36 and 37, Psalm 76, and 1 Peter 1. Today's episode takes us through the dramatic threats against Jerusalem, Hezekiah's prayerful response in the face of overwhelming odds, and God's miraculous deliverance. We'll reflect on finding strength amid trials and discover encouragement from Peter's letter, reminding us that even in challenging seasons, joy and the unshakable love of God await all who trust in Him. Settle in as we seek wisdom, comfort, and renewal for our souls together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are trials ahead, but there is strength for the trials, and joy beyond it. reflects on the certainty that we all face hard times—none are exempt, as life brings us troubles, losses, even seasons when God's presence feels distant or absent. In these moments, the natural response is to despair, to feel the weight of circumstances pressing in. The soul, like the walls around Jerusalem, can feel as though it's crumbling. But the stories in today's readings remind us: when trials come, we are not left without hope. Hezekiah, faced with threats and overwhelming odds, did not turn to alliances or manipulations, or give in to fear. Instead, he turned to God—laying before him the great burdens, the threats, and the uncertainties. He waited, and trusted, even as the temptation to abandon hope was real and strong. The word through Isaiah came: the victory would come, but it would take time. It would be a process. The first year would be lean, on the edge of survival; the second, a bit easier, and then, in the third year, flourishing would come—roots would go down deep, and those who endured would see the fruitfulness and restoration of God. This is a pattern for us as well—trials are for a season, even when that season feels long. If we trust God in the waiting, letting Him carry our burdens, turning our hearts to Him instead of away, we find the strength we need for today—and the joy that is promised for tomorrow. points out that it's easy for despair to have the loudest voice in the face of hardship. Yet the invitation from God is to let our roots grow down in the soil of His faithfulness—a reminder that even in seasons of suffering or confusion, God's love and presence are not removed from us. Like David addressed his own soul in the Psalms—Why so downcast, O my soul? Have faith in God—we are invited to speak truth to our own hearts, to keep showing up, opening ourselves again to God's promises. Living in this way forms and shapes us. It makes us resilient, able to flourish in whatever season comes, anchored in God's steadfast love and faithfulness. This is the prayer for today: that our souls would receive strength for today's trial, and have hope for the joy to come. That even in our emptiness, surrender, and weakness, we are being filled, strengthened, and united with Christ, where our true joy is found. That's a prayer has for his soul, for his family, and 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.
