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! In today’s episode, Hunter invites us into a journey through the transformative pages of Scripture, focusing on Leviticus chapters 15–17 and Acts 18. Together, we explore ancient rituals of purification, the significance of blood in the Old Testament, and Paul’s missionary challenges and encouragements in Corinth. Along the way, Hunter offers thoughtful spiritual guidance, drawing parallels between the biblical text and our everyday struggles with fear, faith, and obedience. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers, uplifting hymns, and practical encouragement to step into God’s love and purpose for our lives. Whether you’re a long-time listener or new to the journey, today promises to deepen your understanding and help you walk in God’s strength and joy.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

Don't be afraid. Speak out. Don't be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you and harm you, for many people in this city belong to me. God wants Paul to keep doing what He's asked him to do. God has a plan for many people, He says, in that city. They already belong to him. They will soon discover what they don't quite yet know.

He wants Paul to know that he doesn't need to be afraid. This simple message makes you wonder why Paul needed a vision to have that reinforced, but apparently he did. And sometimes we do too. Sometimes we need a clear vision of Christ in order for us to do those simple things that we knew all along. Trust God. Trust that God is already at work in these people's lives before we even say a word. God is there.

We don't need to be afraid. You know, I've lived a good part of my life next to the Pacific Ocean. I enjoy talking about it, sharing it with you. The ocean's so big, so beyond any one person. Sometimes you can look out over it and you could feel afraid. There's no controlling the sea, and yet there is a way to participate with it.

You can actually learn to harness some of the might of that ocean. You can also learn to draw some of your life from that ocean, as sailors and fishermen have learned from the beginning of time. There's an old hymn by the writer Jesse Adams I'm going to go ahead and read these lyrics to you. They speak to what we've just read about today.

I feel the winds of God today. Today my sail I lift, though heavy oft with drenching spray and torn with many a rift. If hope but light the water's crest and Christ my bark will use, I'll seek the seas at his behest and brave another cruise.

It is the wind of God that dries my vain regretful tears, until with braver thoughts shall rise the purer, brighter years. If cast on shores of selfish ease or pleasure I should be, Lord, let me feel Thy freshening breeze, and I'll put back to sea, if ever I forget Thy love, and how that love was shown. Lift high the blood-red flag above, it bears Thy name alone, great pilot of my onward way. Thou will not let me drift. I feel the winds of God today. Today my sail I lift.

And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will lift the sail, that I'll not be afraid, that I'll trust in him. That's the prayer that I have for my family too, 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.
