From distractions to sin to comparison, so many things slow us down without us even realizing it. Hebrews 12 calls us to throw off everything that hinders and run with endurance… but how do you actually do that in real life? What weight are you holding onto? What's keeping you stuck or distracted? Are you even running the race God set before you… or someone else's? Through this conversation, you'll be reminded that the goal isn't perfection… it's perseverance. And the only way we keep going is by fixing our eyes on Jesus.   In this conversation, Madi and Grant talk about: -What "running your race" actually means -How to identify the weight holding you back -Why letting go is necessary to move forward -What it looks like to stay focused on Jesus daily   My prayer is that you would feel encouraged to release what's been weighing you down, refocus your heart on Jesus, and run your race with endurance and freedom.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?” John 14:1–2We all need hope, especially in the face of life's uncertainties. The inspired virtue of hope is much more than wishful thinking. It's a supernatural gift by which we are strengthened to persevere through challenges, trusting in God's promises and His fidelity. Hope sustains us, even in the darkest and most painful moments.In today's Gospel, Jesus offers His disciples—and us—the antidote to fear and uncertainty: hope rooted in faith. His words at the Last Supper are intended to strengthen the Apostles for the sorrowful events of His Passion. Though they did not yet fully understand what was about to unfold, Jesus gave them this loving command: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.”In the light of the Resurrection, imagine the Apostles reflecting on these words. They would have recalled the confusion and despair they experienced during Jesus' arrest, crucifixion, and burial. But after encountering the risen Christ, their sorrow turned to joy, and their doubt to unshakable faith. In hindsight, they would have realized they didn't need to let their hearts be troubled—they should have trusted in His promise.The Apostles' journey from fear and guilt to hope and strength is a reminder for us all. We, too, can look back on moments when we failed to trust in God during painful times. Despair, one of the most painful human experiences, extinguishes hope and leaves us feeling abandoned. But even in our failures, God is present, ready to transform our weakness into supernatural hope. By humbly confessing our lack of trust, we open our hearts to His healing grace and allow Him to prepare us for future trials.Just as the Apostles grew in hope through their encounter with the risen Christ, so too did Mary, the Mother of Hope, model unwavering faith even in the midst of profound sorrow. Standing at the foot of the Cross, her heart was pierced with sorrow, but she remained firm in faith and trust. Her hope was based on her certainty that God's plan would be fulfilled through her Son's Passion. In times of trial, turn to Mary, who will guide you in placing your trust in her Son and in the eternal promises of His love.Reflect today on Jesus' loving command: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.” He has prepared a place for you in His Father's house—a place where there will be no more sin and suffering. By keeping your eyes fixed on this eternal promise, you can overcome the fears and struggles of this life, trusting that God's providence will guide you. Trust that He is already preparing a place for you in His Father's house, and let this hope sustain you, transforming every sorrow into joy and every trial into a step closer to the eternal happiness that awaits you.Lord of perfect hope, at times I allow fear and suffering to overwhelm me, leading me to despair. Please give me the grace to listen and respond to Your loving invitation. May I never allow my heart to be troubled by life's circumstances and crosses, but instead, have faith in You and Your promises of everlasting life. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Benediction of God the Father, by Luca CambiasoSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Most network marketers have been taught that building relationships before pitching is the golden rule of sales — but what if that advice is actually costing you recruits, commissions, and credibility? In this episode, Ray Higdon delivers an unpopular but powerful truth: when it comes to reaching out to strangers on social media, "build relationships first" is not just ineffective — it's dishonest. Ray breaks down why people universally prefer you get straight to the point, why problem-solving is the real engine behind every sale, and exactly what two things you must communicate when reaching out to cold market prospects online. He also shares how this approach helped one client become the #1 recruiter in her company and helped another generate $100,000 in personal commissions in under 90 days. If you're waiting for your attraction marketing to kick in while your pipeline sits dry, this episode is your wake-up call. Ray gives you a clear, actionable framework — including the three targeting methods of occupation, location, and intelligent comment — so you can stop beating around the bush and start converting cold market conversations into real income. —

There is an unseen world hidden just beyond the limits of human perception which influences the events of our day-to-day lives. One where a spiritual war is being waged against the followers of Christ, and an ancient evil infiltrates every world religion to deceive humanity into accepting its damnation with open arms. Tonight we expose and name that evil so that you may be forewarned and forearmed against the demonic forces that rule this world.

A Christian is a person who has come to a conclusion about Jesus Christ. Pastor Colin talks about what this would look like in a person's life.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for April 30th. In today's episode, we mark the end of another month on our journey through the scriptures, reading from 2 Samuel 6, 1 Chronicles 13, Psalm 68, and Matthew 17. Join Speaker A and Speaker B as we witness David's celebration and challenges with the Ark of God, reflect on God's power and provision in the Psalms, and ascend the mountain with Jesus in the story of the Transfiguration. Together, we'll discover the hope, wisdom, and transformation found in God's Word, spend time in prayer, and be reminded that, even on life's difficult journey, God's joy and love are our strength. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: The pathway to real transformation is seen here on this mountain. This story is about far more than Jesus' clothes being transformed, made dazzling white, whiter than snow. It's about you and me. It's about the world and all things being transformed. In this story, we are offered both a vision and a voice. The first thing we see is that Jesus—he's the final word. He's the one we're told to listen to, over and above all else. Not Elijah, not Moses, not the writings, not the Torah, not Peter, not me, not you. Peter witnesses this amazing moment—there he is, suddenly, Elijah and Moses are speaking with Jesus on the mountain. And Peter, out of fear or pride, or probably both, shouts out, Lord, it's good for us to be here. If you wish, I'll make three tabernacles here. One for you, one for Moses, one for Elijah. Peter thinks somehow he's going to have some final say here. And so we hear him say those words: I will make a tabernacle. Other translations render it, let us build, but "let us build" is not the final word. No, those words are often born out of fear and pride, but they will never be the final word. Individuals and kingdoms and churches are always offering this as the final word. Let us build, but fear which makes us cower and pride which puffs us up will all be subsumed in the end by God's voice, by God himself, the living Word. And we see that here—suddenly a cloud envelops them and a voice comes from the cloud. The voice they hear is the Father saying, this is my son that I love. Listen to him. At the sound of his voice, they're terrified. They fall face down to the ground. It's at this point that Jesus comes and touches them. Says, get up. Don't be afraid. When they look up, nobody is there but Jesus—Moses, Elijah, gone. Only Jesus remains. No more voices, no more conversations. Only Jesus, the one who is the final word. He's the one that remains. And he, the living Word, will envelop all of our fearful pride. His voice will break through all things, and he will make all things new. So let's hear the Father's voice on this mountain today. He's pointing us to his son. And not just on this mountain, but on a different mountain. This whole episode is pointing us to Calvary's mountain. And not just Peter, James, and John are being drawn to Calvary's mountain—no, he's drawing all of humanity there to himself. When the Son of Man is lifted up, he will draw all humanity to himself, that he might transform all things, including you and me. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I'll hear the Father well, that I'll see what Peter, James, and John saw—that Jesus is the final word. He is the living Word, and through him, he's making all things new. That's a 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.  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

We all have habits, but not all of them are helping us follow Jesus. In this episode, we're talking honestly about the habits that quietly shape our lives and how to break the ones that don't honor God. If you've ever thought, “I don't know when to say no,” you're not alone. That tension is real, especially in a culture that normalizes distraction and blurs the line between what's harmless and what's actually pulling you away from God. So how do you know the difference between a bad habit and a sinful one? And more importantly, how do you change? If you're ready to stop feeling stuck and start walking in victory, this episode is for you.   Helpful resources:

Welcome to Day 2851 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theosis and Its Counterfeit: How Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Their Heirs Distorted Deification. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2851 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2851 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled:  Theosis and Its Counterfeit: How Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Their Heirs Distorted Deification. The Eastern Orthodox Church preserves one of the most profound teachings of Christianity: theosis, or deification. This doctrine is not about erasing the line between Creator and creation but about God drawing humanity into His own life. Through Christ's incarnation, death, and resurrection, believers become partakers of the divine nature, not by nature but by grace. Athanasius expressed it clearly: “God became man so that man might become god.” By this, the Fathers never meant that humanity becomes equal to Yahweh in essence. Rather, theosis means that through grace we are healed, restored, and glorified in Christ, sharing in His life while always remaining His creatures. The Counterfeit in Eden The serpent in Eden also offered a form of deification. His words, “You will be like gods,” suggested that humanity could seize by rebellion what God intended to give through communion. The Eastern Orthodox vision of theosis fulfills God's purpose, while the serpent's promise distorts it. Throughout history, this distortion has reappeared in many guises, most notably in Hermeticism and Gnosticism. Echoes of Antediluvian Rebellion Many occult systems, whether ancient mystery religions or modern esoteric revivals, could have drawn their perceived legitimacy from the idea that they recover lost knowledge from before the Flood. Traditions surrounding the Watchers, the Apkallu, or figures like Prometheus all involve heavenly beings imparting forbidden wisdom to humanity in defiance of divine boundaries. This knowledge, which included arts, sciences, and sorcery, was not neutral. It was given with the intent to corrupt and destroy. After the Flood, while the physical giants perished, their spirits, what later literature calls demons, remained. These disembodied spirits could have been the source of insight or inspiration for occult practitioners throughout history, masquerading as guides to hidden wisdom while promoting rebellion against God. Whether through direct contact or mythic lineage, many esoteric movements trace their roots back to this primeval transgression. Hermeticism: Optimistic Gnosis The Corpus Hermeticum, composed in the early centuries of the Christian era, fused Egyptian religion with Greek philosophy. It taught that humans contain a divine spark that can be awakened through hidden wisdom. Salvation came not through God's grace but through gnosis, mystical ascent, and the realization of one's innate divinity. Unlike Gnosticism, Hermeticism viewed the cosmos more positively, as a reflection of divine order, but its end goal was the same: erasing the line between Creator and creation. Gnosticism: Dualistic Gnosis Gnosticism developed in the same cultural environment and shared Hermeticism's focus on hidden wisdom and the divine spark in man. But it was far more pessimistic. Many Gnostic systems taught that the material world was a prison fashioned by a false or ignorant creator, the Demiurge. Salvation meant escaping matter entirely and returning to the realm of spirit. Its texts, like the Apocryphon of John or the Gospel of Thomas, presented elaborate myths of aeons, archons, and cosmic struggles that reframed rebellion as enlightenment. Parallel Streams of Corruption Though different in tone, Hermeticism optimistic and Gnosticism pessimistic, both traditions proclaimed salvation by gnosis. Both claimed man was divine by nature. Both promised deification apart from Christ. And both blurred or destroyed the Creator–creature distinction. Where Orthodoxy taught communion by grace, Hermeticism and Gnosticism promised exaltation by hidden knowledge. Renaissance Rediscovery and Transmission In the Renaissance, Hermetic and Gnostic writings were rediscovered and hailed as the prisca theologia, a supposed universal truth older than Moses. Figures like Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola embraced these texts as revelations of timeless wisdom. Their influence spread through alchemy, astrology, and ritual magic, setting the stage for later esoteric societies. Hermetic optimism and Gnostic dualism together nourished the roots of Western occultism. Freemasonry Freemasonry grew out of the esoteric ferment of the Renaissance and Enlightenment, which were themselves shaped by the rediscovery of the Hermetic and Gnostic writings. While the fraternity presents itself publicly as a system of moral improvement and brotherhood, its inner symbolism and ritual language reveal a strong dependence on Hermetic and alchemical traditions. The Masonic use of sacred geometry, the emphasis on hidden degrees of initiation, and the maxim “as above, so below” all trace back to the Corpus Hermeticum and related Hermetic texts. The Renaissance had already reintroduced these ideas into European culture, presenting Hermeticism and Gnosticism as prisca theologia, a supposed ancient wisdom that underlay all religions. These concepts filtered into Rosicrucian manifestos in the seventeenth century, which combined mystical Christianity with alchemy and Hermetic philosophy. Rosicrucian influence, in turn, fed directly into the development of modern Freemasonry in the eighteenth century. The lodge thus became an heir to the Hermetic worldview, reframing gnosis not in overtly pagan terms but as moral allegory and ritual drama. Freemasonry's initiation system reflects the Gnostic idea that truth is revealed progressively to an inner circle of the enlightened. The candidate begins in ignorance, is symbolically “raised” to new life, and ascends through degrees of increasing illumination. The rituals employ veiled symbols and allegories rather than explicit teaching, echoing the Hermetic conviction that divine truths must be concealed from the unworthy and revealed only to initiates. This places Freemasonry in continuity with both Hermetic mysteries and Gnostic elitism. Although Freemasonry claims to honor God, it deliberately leaves the identity of God undefined. Its universalist ethos allows men of any faith to participate, so long as they acknowledge a Supreme Being. This broad inclusivity is not biblical covenantal faith but a continuation of Hermetic universalism, which treated all religions as partial reflections of a hidden wisdom tradition. By blending fragments of biblical language with Hermetic symbols and Gnostic structures, Freemasonry offers a path of human self-perfection and enlightenment apart from Christ. Mormonism Mormonism reflects both the Hermetic worldview and Masonic ritual structure. Long before Joseph Smith entered a Masonic lodge in Nauvoo, he was already immersed in practices rooted in Hermetic and occult traditions. In his youth, Smith participated in treasure-seeking expeditions using a divining rod, seer stones, and ritual circles. These tools and practices were drawn from the folk-magic culture of early America, which itself was saturated with ideas that had filtered down from Renaissance Hermeticism and alchemical traditions. The belief that hidden knowledge could be accessed through special instruments, secret formulas, and visionary techniques fits neatly within the Hermetic framework of unlocking the unseen world. When Smith later became a Mason in 1842, he layered these Hermetic practices with Masonic structures. Within weeks of his initiation, he introduced LDS temple ceremonies that bore striking resemblances to Masonic rituals, including secret handshakes, symbolic clothing, and oaths of secrecy. Just as Freemasonry framed its degrees as progressive revelations of hidden wisdom, so too did Smith present Mormon temple ordinances as the means by which believers gained access to the mysteries of exaltation. Doctrinally, Mormonism's teaching of eternal progression mirrors the Hermetic promise of apotheosis. God the Father is said to have been a man who became a god, and faithful men may follow the same path. This collapses the biblical distinction between Creator and creature and transforms salvation into a process of exaltation through hidden rites and teachings. The Mormon vision of countless gods presiding over countless worlds echoes the multiplicity of divine beings in Hermetic and Gnostic systems, while its temple ceremonies function as initiatory mysteries in which knowledge is revealed step by step. From his earliest magical experiments...

Jasmin Rappleye talks about the meaning behind temple worship, sacred symbolism, and why so many people feel unsure when they first encounter these practices. Jasmin explains how the temple connects us to ancient scripture and helps us see ourselves not as perfect people, but as children of God, continually learning and growing.We also talk about the “Mormon moment” happening in media and why now may be one of the most important times to share authentic stories of faith.

I want to do this but fear drawing too much attention to myself. Do I need to change churches? (23:17) Phillip - My daughter wants to baptize her child in the Lutheran Church. Is that ok? (29:59) Jose - My sister has been married legally for 10 years to a non-Catholic, and now she wants Holy Communion. What are her options? (33:22) John - The devil didn’t lie when he said that we could become like gods. This bothers me. Can you explain this? (38:44) Loretta – I put a Rosary App up to my mom's ear and she started praying it. (42:05) Patrick in Hayword, CA - People always get down on their knees during Mass when the priest passes. What is the etiquette for that? (44:05)

The left keeps making the claim that people on the right commit more crimes than people on the left. Is that true? No, it's not, and I prove it and then answer the question Pilate posed to Jesus, "What is truth?"

You have configured Jesus to fit your life. Not consciously, not maliciously, but you have done it nonetheless. The algorithm of your preferences, your comfort thresholds, your political loyalties, your financial anxieties — they all quietly shape the version of Jesus you bring to church, to prayer, and to your decisions. The result is a Jesus who agrees with you more than he challenges you, who blesses your plans more than he disrupts them, and who functions, if you are honest, more like a life coach than a Lord. Kyle Idleman, Senior Pastor at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville and author of the new book The Missing Messiah, joins me for a conversation that will do exactly what you are afraid this kind of conversation will do: poke the box. Kyle draws a precise and unflinching distinction between Christian culture and kingdom culture, between a transactional faith built around what Jesus can do for you and a transformational discipleship built around following him wherever he goes. We cover the algorithm Jesus keeps breaking, the compartmentalized faith that lets him rummage in your "religion drawer" but not your finances, your politics, or your relationships, and the specific consequence no one wants to name: that a domesticated, comfortable, cushy Jesus is not going to hold you when the hardest seasons of your life arrive. If your faith has never asked you to count the cost, that is not evidence of grace. It is evidence of a missing Messiah. This conversation will not make you feel better about where you are; it will make you want to go further. That is the invitation, and it requires something of you.

Read OnlineWhen Jesus had washed the disciples' feet, he said to them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.” John 13:16–17Today's Gospel comes from the Last Supper, just after Jesus washed His disciples' feet. What an act of humility! By analogy, it would be as if a king knelt before his servants to polish their shoes, setting aside his glory to attend to their most basic needs. This act would teach them that true greatness lies not in power but in love and humble service. Such an act would make quite an impression on those servants, helping them understand their duty within the king's royal court and their responsibility toward the people of the kingdom.The Apostles might not have understood the full meaning of Jesus' act of humility that Holy Thursday evening. As time went on, however, and the Apostles embraced their roles as spiritual leaders of the early Church, Jesus' actions would have become the foundation of their understanding of servant leadership—one that they themselves were called to imitate as shepherds of Christ's flock. Leadership in the Kingdom of God is not about seeking honors or recognition but about humbling oneself in selfless service to others. This includes not only leaders within the Church, but also leaders within the community and within families.Jesus' example becomes even more impactful when we consider the presence of Judas at this intimate moment. The Gospel goes on to reveal that Jesus acknowledged that one of those whose feet He washed would betray Him. He served Judas anyway. In this one act, Jesus not only demonstrated humility but also showed that His love knows no boundaries, extending even to those who would reject and betray Him.In our lives, when we encounter those who betray us or sin against us in any way, we are immediately tempted to lash out. Imitating Jesus, however, requires us to humble ourselves even before the worst of sinners, rather than condemn them. Jesus did not approve of Judas' betrayal. Instead, He identified it by quoting Psalm 41:10: “The one who ate my food has raised his heel against me.” Then, to reassure the remaining disciples of His divine mission, He said: “From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM” (John 13:19).Jesus was essentially saying that once the other eleven Apostles learned of Judas' betrayal, they would understand that only God—I AM—is capable of humbly loving and serving those who sin against Him. As the Apostles reflected on Jesus' act in the days and years to come, they would have recognized that such love transcends human capacity and points to the divine. Jesus' willingness to serve Judas, knowing full well the betrayal to come, reveals that God's love is not dependent on human strength but flows unconditionally, offering even sinners the chance for redemption. Each of us is called to participate in that same depth of love.Reflect today on Jesus' unconditional humility and love and His call to imitate Him. Consider the relationships in your life: Are there people from whom you have withheld love or forgiveness? Is there anyone whom you refuse to serve with humility? Ask for the grace to love as Jesus loved, to serve even those who have hurt you, and to bear witness to the divine humility of Christ, who loved without limits. Pray for the grace to take a concrete step today to reconcile with someone you struggle to love or forgive, imitating Christ's humility and boundless love. In doing so, you not only follow His example but also become a living witness to His ongoing presence in the world.My humble Lord, You love everyone with perfection, even serving those who have betrayed You. In doing so, You have set an example for us to follow. Please give me the grace I need to imitate You by humbling myself before others, even those who have sinned against me. Strengthen me in moments of betrayal, so that I may respond with love and humility.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel – John 12:44-50 – Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in Me believes not only in Me but also in the One Who sent Me, and whoever sees Me sees the One Who sent Me. I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in Me might not remain in darkness. And if anyone hears My words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. Whoever rejects Me and does not accept My words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day, because I did not speak on My own, but the Father Who sent Me commanded Me what to say and speak. And I know that His commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father told Me.” Memorial of Saint Catherine of Siena, Virgin and Doctor of the Church Saint Catherine, pray for us!

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 for April 29th, day 120 of our journey through the Scriptures. In today's episode, Hunter guides us through 2 Samuel 4 and 5, Psalm 139, and Matthew 16. We'll witness the political intrigue in the early days of King David's reign, reflect on God's intimate knowledge of our hearts through the poetry of David, and listen as Jesus challenges both his disciples and religious leaders to see life from God's perspective rather than their own—warning against the "dangerous trap" of self-centeredness. Join us as Hunter draws us into prayer and spiritual reflection, reminding us that tending to our souls blesses not just ourselves, but those we love—and that love showed up for each of us. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's a dangerous trap. That's what Jesus calls it—to see things only from your own point of view, from your own perspective. It's a dangerous trap to let your own plans, ambitions, or understanding be the lens through which you interpret everything that comes. When Peter tried to persuade Jesus away from the cross, Jesus rebuked him harshly—Get away from me, Satan. You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God's. What a sober warning. It's dangerous to hold onto your life and your agenda apart from God. To insist that life be about you, your comfort, your plans, your will—this is the trap. Jesus says, "If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it." To make your life a project about your own ego or status or pleasure is to forfeit what matters most. But Jesus gives us a way out of this trap. Through the cross, he offers us the way to true life. The cross is not just a symbol—it's the place where you have been restored, forgiven, made new, brought into the family of God. In the cross, your true identity is declared: a beloved child of God. Through Christ's victory on the cross, the chains of self-centeredness and spiritual blindness are broken. The cross proclaims what God has done and what you have become. Your soul, lost and searching, is found and made new in him. And to pursue your life apart from Christ is to miss that—it's to forfeit your soul. But to see what God has done is to step into your true self, your redeemed self, participating in his life and love. On the cross, we see what it means to love—to give, to forgive, to walk alongside others in their pain. This is the life Jesus invites you into—a life that is fully alive, fully surrendered, fully his. So I pray that for myself, for my family, and for you: that we would not fall for the trap of living from our own point of view, but instead, live from the perspective of the cross, of Christ's victory and love and self-giving. That we would see ourselves and our lives through what he has done, and that we would be set free to love and live as he has made us to be. 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  

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky discusses neuroplasticity and how God designed our brains to change and grow. Our brains form neuropathways, and over time, habits become part of who we are. However, real transformation is possible—you can change the way your brain works through doing things like habit stacking. I wanted to talk to my girlfriend's son about Christ before he died of cancer, but I didn't feel like I could because her family asked a pastor to leave the hospital room. Did it help to witness to him after he took his last breath? When the last caller spoke about regretting not sharing his faith, I felt led to say that he is experiencing conviction because he is in a sexual relationship with his girlfriend. I grew up in a dysfunctional environment marked by sexual and physical abuse. My father murdered my sister. Is it a sin not to have a relationship with my mother?

This week, the girls sit down to talk about faith and the questions so many of us wrestle with: How do you know if you're truly saved? Can you lose your salvation? These doubts can lead to insecurity, not just in your faith, but in your identity in Christ, and that uncertainty can bleed into every area of life. They dive into the importance of staying rooted in the Word daily and reminding yourself of what's true: Jesus loves you. They reflect on how, before the cross, priests had to offer sacrifices to approach God, but Jesus, our ultimate High Priest, came and gave His life once and for all so we could have direct access to the Father. As Jesus says in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” He alone paid the price, something no one else could ever do. Salvation isn't something we earn. It's a gift. Scripture tells us that whoever hears and believes that Jesus is the Son of God, sent by the Father, has eternal life. Our role is simply to receive it, to open our hands and accept the free gift of grace. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
