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 today’s episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where Hunter and Heather invite you into a reflective journey through Scripture and prayer. On this episode, we dive into the dramatic call of Moses in Exodus 3-5, exploring how God’s promises and presence empower us even in moments of doubt and fear. As we continue into Luke 22, we witness the Apostle’s Last Supper with Jesus, the agony in the garden, and the heartbreak of Peter’s denial—reminders of God’s intimate involvement in our struggles and the fulfillment of His word.

Beyond the Bible readings and thoughtful prayers led by Heather and the Unknown Speaker (likely a guest/scripture leader), Hunter shares a personal update about starting a new chapter by returning to school at age 59, offering encouragement to listeners to step boldly into new seasons of life, regardless of age or circumstance.

Join us for an episode filled with faith, honesty, and hope, as we consider what it means to trust God’s plan, serve others, and remember that above all—we are loved.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

No other witnesses are needed. As we journey with Jesus in Luke 22, we witness the fulfillment of every promise and prediction he has ever made. The disciples gather in the upper room, just as he said they would. He is betrayed, denied, deserted—just as he said he would be. The smallest details of his story unfold exactly according to his plan and his words. His accusers even confirm it themselves, declaring, “Why do we need any more witnesses?” Everything he spoke has proven to be true.

The power and certainty in Jesus’ words invite us to awaken, to have our eyes opened to the living Christ before us. What do we believe? Do we believe all this is happening according to his plan? Do we believe that, just as he knew the path before him, he knows the path before us—the fears, the corners we feel backed into, the failures and weakness we carry?

He knows. And he comes to sit with us in those dark corners. He seeks out the exact places we feel stuck and forgotten. These are the people he came to rescue, forgive, die for, and live for. Ours is not to offer witness, but to receive—receive his presence, his table, his forgiveness. And when we are strengthened by his love and grace, ours is to serve others and extend that same grace.

All that has happened—his life, his death, his resurrection—is for us. Just as he was faithful to fulfill his promises and show his true identity as the Son of God, he is faithful to us today. Let us trust and believe. Let us sit at his table. Let us be strengthened and serve.

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 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.
