TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today’s episode, Hunter guides us through a meaningful journey in scripture on this 14th day of November. Together, we reflect on Psalm 149 and Paul’s powerful words in 1 Corinthians 15 and 16, exploring the heart of the gospel—Christ’s death and resurrection, and what it means for our lives today.

Hunter invites us to consider not just the events of Christ’s resurrection, but our inclusion in His resurrection life, encouraging us to wake up to our new identity in Him. We’re reminded that faith in the resurrection is more than agreeing with history—it’s becoming part of God’s family, loved, forgiven, and made new. The episode closes with prayers for peace, unity, and transformation, and an invitation to continue in an attitude of prayer throughout our day.

So, whether you’re joining us for the first time or have been on this year-long journey through the Bible, settle in and let’s discover together what God has done—and who we have become—in Christ.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

Our profession is a declaration of inclusion. Paul is passing on to us something of utmost priority. He says, “I pass on to you what was most important and what has also been passed on to me. Christ died for your sins, just as the Scriptures say. He was buried and he was raised from the dead on the third day.” What’s this all-important message that Paul has for us? Paul urges us to stand firm in the reality that Christ died for our sins and was raised—just as the Scriptures say.

But the heart of Paul’s message about the resurrection isn’t simply a matter of agreeing with a historic fact. It isn’t merely checking a box, or parroting words we know we’re supposed to say as Christians. What Paul wants us to grasp is that our declaration that “Christ is risen” is also a declaration of our inclusion in his resurrection life. Our profession is not just about what God has done but about what we have become: we are woven into Christ’s death and his glorious resurrection.

To say, “I believe in the resurrection,” is to say that you are united with Christ and made new in him. It means waking up to the true reality of who you are—beloved by God, forgiven, made new, a child belonging forever to his family. When you begin to see what God has done, you start to see yourself differently—and others, too. The work of Christ transforms not only our identity but also our sight. We’re called to set our hearts on things above, to know that we’ve been raised with Christ, seated with him in heavenly places.

Let’s embrace this resurrection reality—not just as something to agree with but to live and embody. Let it permeate your relationships, how you see others, and how you walk through each day. See it. Believe it. Dare to live in the newness of life that is yours in Christ.

That's my prayer for my own soul. That's a prayer for my family, for my wife, for my daughters and my son. And that’s a prayer 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.
