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 each day we journey together through the pages of Scripture, letting God's Word point us to Jesus, the living Word. In today's episode, your host Hunter guides us through Leviticus chapters 26 and 27, exploring God's promises, warnings, and the ancient covenant He makes with His people. We also finish our reading in Acts chapter 23, witnessing Paul's steadfast faith in the midst of suffering, conspiracies, and threats on his life. Alongside reflections from listener Brad Mason, we're invited to find encouragement in Christ, even in our own dark nights. As we pray together, seek the Lord's peace, and prepare our hearts for the season of Lent, this episode reminds us that, whatever our circumstances, God's presence and purpose for our lives remain steadfast. So wherever you are on your journey, join us and be encouraged—God's joy is our strength, and, as always, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Suffering is not a surprise for the followers of Jesus, and certainly not for Paul. From the moment he meets Jesus on the road to Damascus, the message is clear: suffering will accompany his calling. And yet, with every proclamation of hardship, there is also a prescription—a vision of Christ to sustain him. Paul’s journey is filled with adversity, but each ache, each threat, each moment in prison or under accusation, is met with a fresh vision of the Lord himself. Jesus appears to Paul with words of encouragement: “Just as you have been a witness to me here in Jerusalem, you must preach the good news in Rome as well.” Be encouraged. That is the living message—not only for Paul, but for us. In every dark hour, every pressure, every threat, God meets us with himself. Jesus says, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” His purposes for our lives will not fail. Through temporary affliction, he works an eternal weight and glory. Are you suffering today? Are you threatened or burdened? The prescription remains: the vision of Jesus. Look to him. Hold on to the clear sight of the Lord in your midst. This is where encouragement is found. He is present now, working something beautiful, something lasting, through every trial and hardship. Let your heart be encouraged, your eyes fixed on Him. Let this be your prayer—for yourself, for your family, for all whom you love, and for the world. May we live this day holding fast to the vision of Christ, relying on his presence, trusting in his promises. 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.

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 podcast! In today’s episode for February 15th, Heather invites listeners into day 46 of our journey through the scriptures. We’ll explore key readings from Leviticus 25, Psalms 25 and 26, and Acts 22, reflecting on themes like Sabbath rest, the Year of Jubilee, and the transformative power of God’s love. Heather shares insightful commentary—particularly on Paul’s testimony in Acts, unpacking how a single word can become a stumbling block to God’s work in our lives. She encourages us to listen closely when the Holy Spirit challenges our assumptions and idols, and leads us in a series of heartfelt prayers for God’s guidance, peace, and restoration. Join us to encounter scripture, find encouragement for your spiritual walk, and be reminded that, above all, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What is the one word that stands between you and transformation? As Heather points out in today’s reflection, Paul’s testimony in Acts 22 captivated the crowd—until he uttered a single word: Gentile. For them, this word encapsulated their identity, their justification, their hope before God. It became an idol—a thing they staked their lives on, something so central that its mention caused outrage and shut down any openness to God’s new work. But Heather reminds us that this is not just their story—it’s ours too. Each of us has a word, a source of hope or identity we are tempted to lean on, justify ourselves with, or make ultimate. That word might be family, career, riches, reputation, or something else. When challenged, it creates a crisis in our hearts. Like Paul’s crowd, we can revolt, shout, and shut down, all because someone has put their finger on the thing we can’t bear to surrender. Yet, the gospel isn’t stopped by irritated idols—it seeks out and transforms them. The Holy Spirit will often put his finger on those deep places we make ultimate, those sacred words we won’t let go of. Sometimes, they are even good things, but when they take the place of Christ, we must let the Spirit speak, even if it causes discomfort or a visceral response. Pay attention when the Spirit challenges these places in your life. What is your word? What causes a halt in your journey with God? Let Christ be supreme in all things. When the idols in your heart come out swinging, don’t ignore them. Instead, allow the Holy Spirit to bring transformation, to make Jesus the center of your hope and identity. This is my prayer for myself, for my family, and for you: May the Spirit give us ears to hear when God speaks, even if the word stings. Let us lay down every idol and let Christ reign, so the gospel may bring its true freedom, joy, and love into our lives. Amen. (Matches the example’s tone, structure, and format, drawing directly from Heather’s devotional in 21:32.) 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.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: 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 this episode for February 14th, 2025, Hunter invites us into a gentle, reflective journey through the scriptures. It’s day 45 of the annual Bible reading adventure, and today’s passages include Leviticus 23-24, Psalm 24, and Acts 21. Hunter reminds us that the heart of this daily practice isn’t just reading words on a page, but experiencing the transforming love of God—a love found in the Living Word, Jesus, who walks with us through every season. In this episode, you’ll hear about the ancient festivals of Israel, the greatness of God in Psalm 24, and Paul’s courage and faith amidst challenges in Acts. The episode closes with heartfelt prayer, thoughtful encouragement for facing life’s ups and downs, and a reminder that even in the grit and grind of February, there’s beauty to be found if we look for it. Join Hunter as he helps us keep our eyes and hearts open, walking in faith, hope, and the assurance that we are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: This life of faith requires two feet to walk. We live in this tension. On one hand, we go through things and we want to be healed and delivered. We want things to work out, and at times God is delighted to do just that—to provide, to heal, to deliver. So one step of faith is asking for and seeking these things from God. But with the other foot, the other step that we must take is to understand that this light and momentary affliction is working out for us something of eternal importance. The life of faith often entails learning to walk amidst those two very real tensions, where we hold firm to the promise that God is indeed our healer, our deliverer, redeemer. He will indeed do all that he has promised. And yet at the same time, there very well may be something that he wants to teach us through it. Maybe he will choose to heal you today, and maybe he won’t. But we also know that we will indeed be healed. All of creation will be restored in him, and that day is coming. In the meantime, whatever the affliction that you’re suffering through, it is momentary, and in the scales of eternity, Paul says they are light. It may not feel like that right here, right now, but faith in God’s goodness helps us to see beyond the right here and the right now. And faith is an invitation to enter into the presence of God. His healing, His deliverance, His redemption isn’t just designated for some distant time. We can begin to experience those things in part even today. God has something he wants to teach us all, and we need to trust him and walk with him through all that life brings us. He’ll prove himself strong in our weakness. He will be your comforter and your strength. Walk this way of faith with both feet and trust him each step of the way. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the 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.

February 13th, Leviticus 20-22; Acts 20; Daily Bible in a Year
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: 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 podcast! On this February 13th episode, join your host Hunter as we step together into Day 44 of our year-long journey through the Bible. Whether you're brand new or a long-time listener, you'll find a warm invitation into a community focused on simply reading scripture—and encountering the God who is present and who is love. Today's episode features readings from Leviticus chapters 20 through 22, exploring God's call to holiness and distinctiveness for the Israelites and their priests, as well as a passage from Acts 20, where Paul, with a pastor's heart, shares his farewell and encouragement to the elders of the church in Ephesus. We'll reflect on Paul's message of grace—a word meant to build us up in every season, whether we face storms or calm. In addition to scripture and reflection, Hunter leads us in thoughtful prayers, inviting us to seek God's purpose and peace for ourselves, our families, and the world. Stick around for gratitude and encouragement from Hunter, as he thanks supporters and reminds us of the strength found in God's joy—and of the truth that we are deeply loved. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's journey through God's word—together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Paul’s a good pastor. We see his pastor heart here in Acts 20. He’s calling together the elders of the church in Ephesus. He spent three years pouring his life into these people. Paul senses something in his spirit, and he gathers the elders together to share with them what the Holy Spirit is telling him. The winds are changing. He has suffering ahead, jail to endure. Paul knows it. These elders are gathered together with him for the last time. He knows that they too are on a journey. He’s letting them know that they too have hardships coming. There’ll be a time coming when the church that they love, that they adore, have worked so hard for, will divide. There’ll be some among them that’ll distort the truth. They will make it all about themselves and not about God. Paul sees this. He knows it’s coming. He knows the winds are changing, not just in his life but in the lives of those in his church. In our journey, the winds change as well. Sometimes there’s flat calm, and sometimes there’s a gale blowing. I don’t know where you’re at right now. Maybe you’re in a storm. Maybe you’re wondering if you’re going to make it. Maybe you feel it in your bones that there’s more suffering that awaits you, like Paul did. Maybe things are good and you’re in a sweet season in your life. Maybe you’re somewhere in between. I don’t know this. I don’t claim to be like Paul. But whatever the season you’re facing, or however the seas might appear, there’s something you will need, something we all need. It’s the message Paul was so desperate to preach. It’s the last thing Paul wanted to say to them, and it’s the first message we need to hear to get ourselves through the storm, to endure suffering patiently, or just to get through the day. That message is this, found in verse 32: And now I entrust you to God and the message of his grace that is able to build you up and give you an inheritance with all those he has set apart for himself. It’s the message of grace. It builds you up from God’s heart to Paul’s heart to your heart. It’s a message of grace. Grace builds up. That’s the message God has for your soul today. It’s the message Paul spent three years pouring into the people of Ephesus. That’s the message God is pouring into your life every day if you’ll receive it. It’s a message of grace that is able to build you up. Receive that blessing from God today. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer that I have for my family, 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast for February 12th, 2026! In today’s episode, your host Hunter invites us to join him on day 43 of our journey through the Bible. We tackle the challenging passages of Leviticus 18 and 19, exploring God’s call to holiness, justice, and care for others—even when the text feels mysterious or difficult to comprehend. The episode moves through Psalm 13’s heartfelt cries for God’s presence and then dives into Acts 19, where Paul boldly proclaims the arrival of God’s kingdom in Ephesus, stirring both transformation and turmoil. Hunter reminds us of the importance of curiosity, perseverance, and faith, calling us to let God’s agenda rule our lives. The episode closes with uplifting prayers for peace, unity, and strength, encouraging us to keep pressing on—even through the hard parts of scripture. Join Hunter as we warm our hearts by the fires of God’s love, learn together, and remember: you are loved, no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The message hasn't changed. The kingdom of God is here. That's what Paul was persistently preaching in Ephesus, and it's what we need to hear again today. Hunter points us to Acts 19, where Paul boldly argues about the kingdom of God—not just for a moment, but for months, even years, so that all who would listen, Jew and Greek alike, might understand. What is this kingdom that Paul proclaims? It's the reality that the King has come—Jesus. His arrival signals the breaking in of something new, a kingdom not built on the agendas of this world, not subject to its idols, not content to serve anyone’s interests but God’s own. In Ephesus, Paul's message disrupted more than religious routines; it overturned business interests, social orders, and deeply held allegiances. Like Demetrius the silversmith observed, this news, this gospel, this announcement wasn’t just an add-on to the existing way of things. It threatened to derail the very agenda of Artemis—of the competing gods and pursuits of the world. And here's the truth: God has an agenda for your life too, and it isn't always easy or comfortable. It might mean things get turned over, that familiar structures come undone, and that priorities are rearranged. When God invades, things don’t stay the same. But He is fully committed: committed to His own purpose, yes, but also to you—rooting you deeply in the circle of His love, bringing you into the Kingdom for which you were made. The invitation, then, is to let His agenda become your own, to step into the joy, freedom, and purpose found only in the reign of King Jesus. This is where barriers come down, lives are changed, and communities are renewed. This is the place of true belonging, adoption, forgiveness, and love. That’s my prayer for myself, for my family, for you. May we all see His kingdom come in every part of our lives. May the joy, freedom, and love of Christ rule in us. May we live as citizens of His Kingdom, knowing that in all things—we are loved. No doubt about it. 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.

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.

February 10th, 26:Leviticus 13-14; Acts 17; Daily Bible in a Year
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, friends! In today’s episode, Hunter invites us on a journey through Leviticus 13 and 14, where we hear about the intricate laws around skin diseases and purification in the Old Testament, and then into Acts 17, where Paul boldly proclaims the good news of Jesus to the curious and skeptical philosophers of Athens. As your Bible reading coach, Hunter helps us see how both ancient rituals and the early church’s message of Christ’s love point us to a God who is present and at work in all people, whether they realize it yet or not. Alongside the scripture readings, you’ll hear reflections on opening the eyes of our hearts to God’s boundless love, and prayers asking for peace, hope, and the grace to live knowing we are already embraced by God. It’s a reminder that wherever we are—whether in Portland, New Jersey, Houston, or across the world—God’s love and presence are already with us. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let’s walk together through today’s passages, discovering more of the One in whom we live and move and have our being. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: They called him a babbler, a teacher of strange things. That’s what they said of Paul when he appeared before the philosophers of Athens. How is it that even the most enlightened among us can hear the good news of the gospel and end up interpreting it as babble? “What’s this babbler trying to say with these strange ideas he’s picked up?” God reveals God. Ours is to participate with God who reveals himself, the God who’s already at work. Paul knows this. That’s why he looks out over all the people of Athens and he says, you are already living and moving and having your being in God. He’s already right here. He’s already with you. You just don’t know it yet. I’ve come to tell you who he is, to tell you how good he is, how he has already purchased your freedom and the life that you so deeply desire. The gospel is the good news that God has come to us in our blindness and opens our eyes to behold who he is. It’s a declaration of what is and what has been done. When our eyes are open, we see that we are his children and we did nothing to bring that about, that God was always at work in my life long before I had any clue. This God who loved me has loved and embraced the whole world. He’s looked upon the whole human race like a good father looks upon children he loves. The world doesn’t know it yet, but that’s what’s true. To many, it all sounds like babble because they’re blind. They’ve bought into a lie of separation. We don’t think God is for us. We’re blind to the God who loved us before we even knew him. But God opens eyes, and God reveals himself, and he’s come to let the whole world know that they are loved. We, like Paul, are invited to see what God sees, to participate and proclaim this good news in Athens, in Portland, in New Jersey, Houston, all around the world. He’s already there. People are living and moving and having their being in him. He’s opening their eyes. He’s showing everyone, ordinary people like you and I. He’s showing all of us. He’s making himself known. Do you hear him? Do you hear what he’s saying to you? Or does it all just sound like babble? My prayer is that the eyes of your heart will be opened to see the depth, the length, the width, the height of God’s love for you. 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.

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 podcast! On this episode, recorded February 9th, 2024, your host Hunter continues guiding us through our Bible reading journey—today marking day 40. We dive into Leviticus chapters 10 through 12 and Acts 16, exploring stories of tradition, holiness, and transformation. Hunter reflects on the tale of Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, and their “strange fire”—a warning against trying to manipulate God and a reminder of the dangers of seeking control. Drawing parallels to the book of Acts, Hunter compares this to moments where others attempted to wield power for their own gain, and contrasts it with the fire of the Holy Spirit, a gift that brings true life, healing, and joy when simply received in faith. Throughout the episode, listeners are invited to pause, pray, and reflect on the words of Scripture, joining Hunter in prayers for encouragement, peace, and unity. The podcast is a vibrant mix of daily readings, thoughtful spiritual commentary, and heartfelt prayers, all anchored in the hope that we are deeply loved and called to live empowered by God’s Spirit. Stay with us as we journey together—reading, praying, and letting God’s joy be our strength. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We all struggle with the desire to manipulate and control, to offer our own strange fire, if you will. Tragically, it consumes us too. But there's a kind of fire that doesn't consume and kill. That's the fire that we see in the Holy Spirit. This is a fire that comes to dwell with us. In Acts 2, we see the Holy Spirit descend in tongues of fire. This is a fire that is bestowed on us and received. It's not manipulated. It's given to us, not through our own effort or designs. Instead, it descends on us. It's a gift from heaven. How do we become carriers of this fire of life? Paul and Silas tell the Philippian jailer, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you'll be saved along with everyone in your household." It seems like all of us in some way or another want to work with strange fire and gain control. It’s no different now than it was then. The slave owners in Acts 16 have a girl that tells the future—this is a strange fire. The political leaders in town wanted to pacify the mob—they're playing with strange fire. The jailer drew his sword to kill himself for fear of his own execution—this, too, is a kind of strange fire. Strange fire is all about wanting to control and manipulate to ensure our future or to get what we want, whether it’s fortune, power, honor. We all want to make strange fire to get these things. Our strategies appear to work for a while, but in the end, like Nadab and Abihu, it doubles back and ends up consuming us in the end. There are two kinds of fire. One is strange and will ultimately consume us. It’s fueled by the desire to control, to manipulate. The other kind is the fire of God’s presence that’s received as a gift. What do we do for that? We believe in the Lord Jesus. We trust in him. We say yes to him. We say yes to his life. We give up control. We give up on our need to coerce. This is a life-giving fire that dwells within us, entirely bestowed upon us by his grace. It does not consume. It does not kill. Instead, it purifies us, heals us, and offers us his life. It creates within us something new, and offers us true riches, true power, true honor. And all these things are a gift. It is the holy fire of God in us. Today, you can live and walk in the reality of the fire that comes down from heaven. It is your life—the Holy Spirit, Christ in you. This gift has been bestowed upon you. Live in this fire today. Abide in it, not trying to control and conjure up things, but simply resting and receiving Christ’s 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, 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.

February 8th, 26:Leviticus 7–9; Acts 15; Daily Bible in a Year
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 this powerful episode, Heather invites us on a journey through Leviticus 7–9 and Acts 15, exploring the weighty requirements of Old Testament law and the freeing grace found in Jesus. As we gather from around the world, Heather reminds us that the Scriptures ultimately point us to Christ—the true source of life. Together, we witness the complex rituals and sacrifices that marked Israel’s worship, and then pivot to the liberating message of Acts: salvation is not about meeting an impossible set of demands, but about receiving the undeserved grace of Jesus. Heather draws a beautiful distinction between the heavy yoke of the law and the easy yoke that Christ offers, challenging us to lay down the burdens we create for ourselves and rest in His completed work. This episode also includes a time for prayer, reflection, and encouragement for the journey ahead. Whether you carry the weight of ancient law or your own modern expectations, today’s episode offers a fresh invitation to surrender to the love, peace, and freedom found in Jesus alone. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Did you feel the weight of it? The heavy yoke of Leviticus? The requirements of the law were elaborate and complex. The details were exacting, right down to putting blood on the right ear, thumb, and right big toe of the priest. It was a heavy yoke with staggering specificity. They put themselves in peril if they got it wrong. Yet in Acts today, Paul and Barnabas are preaching a different message. A gospel of good news, not a heavy yoke. All the demands of the Law of Moses are fulfilled in Jesus. He is the sacrificial lamb, the high priest, our advocate, and our temple. Jesus is the reality behind all the shadow play of the Law of Moses. The pressures of the law are lethal if they are misunderstood or misapplied. We are to trust in Jesus, who has made us right with God, not the heavy yoke of the Book of Leviticus, and not all our attempts at fulfilling the law's demands. This heavy yoke was more than anyone could carry, then or now. Essentially, Peter says in Acts, let’s not put the book of Leviticus on the backs of these Gentile converts and tell them to fulfill it when neither we nor our ancestors could carry it. We know that the only one who has ever been able to bear the weight of it is the Lord Jesus himself. Salvation and being made right with God comes only by grace through the faith of Jesus. Jesus alone carried that heavy yoke. We can't do it. No one ever has. And God is proclaiming that gift of life and hope, the easy yoke, to Gentiles too. It's not Jesus plus circumcision, Jesus plus Levitical law, or Jesus plus Moses. It's just Jesus. His undeserved grace is it. That’s how we are made right with God. By walking in His Spirit, we are released into the goodness of this good news. You and I may not have the Levitical laws around our neck. It's not the Levitical laws that make it hard for us to receive God's grace. When we read Leviticus, most of us probably think it’s just a little weird. But we do create our own morally equivalent barriers that make it hard to live and experience God’s grace and strength. We come up with things like: if I were just a better mom, made more money, got my temper under control, if I was more moral, read my Bible more, went to church more, gave more, then I’m sure God would love me more. It’s not the Book of Leviticus you are trying to carry. It’s the Book of Heather, or Carol, or Andrew, or Hunter. Just insert your name. We create our own morally equivalent books that make it hard for us to receive the good news of the gospel. When the church of Antioch got the letter delivered by Barsabbas and Silas, it brought the believers great joy as they read it. It said, “Take off your yoke.” That’s why they were joyous. They were freed from that burden that they could not carry. You don’t have to shoulder the book of Leviticus, or the book that you have written for yourself. You can rejoice because Christ Jesus has done everything necessary for you to live the life that he intends for you to live, in the strength that he alone can p 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.

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...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, we journey through day 38 of our Bible reading adventure, focusing on Leviticus chapters 4 through 6 and Acts chapter 14. Hunter welcomes us warmly, guiding us into the often mysterious world of Leviticus—where sin offerings of bulls, goats, and birds illustrate ancient rituals that, at first glance, seem far removed from our everyday lives. But as Hunter unpacks these passages, he invites us to see them as shadows pointing to a greater truth: the perfect cleansing found in Christ. Through scripture and thoughtful reflection, he reminds us that Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice who brings lasting forgiveness and new life, far beyond what any ritual could offer. We also witness the early church’s excitement and trials in Acts 14, as Paul and Barnabas experience miracles, stir up bold faith, and face fierce opposition, yet encourage believers to persevere. The episode concludes with powerful prayers, inviting us to walk in love, forgiveness, and joy, and to remember—no matter where we are on our journey—that we are never alone and always loved. Join Hunter for inspiration, community connection, and a fresh perspective on ancient texts that speak hope into our daily lives. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Bulls, goats and birds. How does any of this stuff have anything to do with Jesus? These things can seem so strange and far removed from our own lives. Not many of us have seen an animal offered on an altar. What does it all mean? Hebrews 10:1-2 says this: The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year. But they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared. The good thing to come is your perfect cleansing for all time and your feelings of guilt disappearing. That's the good thing that we're only seeing a shadow of in these strange things we read about in Leviticus. This shadow play and detailed systems of sacrifices didn't change the way they felt on the inside. That's why they came back year after year and sadly too often. So it is today, the shadow play that we make up to get rid of all our bad feelings of guilt. They don't work either. But we've been made right with God, not through a ram or a bull or a bird. Jesus is the perfect lamb who takes away the sins of the world. Cleansing you, making you new. God wants us to know that. And he also wants us to know that in that sacrifice of love, he's also given us his life. Now, he not only atoned for your sin, but he also offers you his gracious life today. So let's live it. Live today in the light of your perfect cleansing. Live today in the light of what you have become because of what he's done. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, 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.

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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast, where each day we journey together through the pages of Scripture in search of the living Word. On this February 6th, 2026 episode, Hunter invites listeners to buckle up as we begin the challenging—but rewarding—book of Leviticus, exploring chapters 1-3. The episode also features a powerful reading from Acts 13, highlighting the bold ministry of Paul and Barnabas as they bring the message of Christ to both Jews and Gentiles. Through today’s passages, Hunter draws connections between the ancient sacrificial system and the fulfillment of the law in Jesus, reminding us that our hope rests not in our own piety but in the grace given to us through Christ. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers and a call to embrace God’s joy as our strength, reassuring us that we are deeply loved. Plus, listeners like Kate from Sydney, Australia, share their appreciation for the grounding presence of the Daily Radio Bible each night. Join us as we navigate familiar and new territory, reflect on how Scripture shapes our lives, and together find encouragement for the journey ahead. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wherever the Gospel is preached, it'll either be received and welcomed or rejected and resisted. For some, it'll seem familiar and old, and for others, it'll seem brand new. Paul and Barnabas were being sent out, and the message about Christ was multiplying in the hearts of many. They were preaching to Jews primarily, taking them all the way back to Abraham and Moses—back through the exile, their deliverance from Egypt, through the wilderness, the institution of the Levitical and sacrificial system, through the prophets and kings. They took them back to something old and familiar. Out of this long story of God's people emerged God's man, the Messiah—God's man and his plan—Jesus, the one who would make the world right again. God sent his Son to give his life on behalf of the whole world. In his life, lived in perfect love, he fulfilled the law of God. He demonstrated absolute purity, holiness, righteousness, and justice. And then he died on a cross as a substitute sacrifice for us so that we might live. But he didn't just die for all—he was raised to new life for all. And now everyone can be freed from the penalty of sin and shame, from death and the grave. Now every human being can begin to walk in the new life given to them in Christ. This is the message they're preaching with all their heart and soul. And many are responding with joy. But many are resisting and rejecting this message. They resist because they had put their hope in their own piety and obedience to the law and not in God. But it's not only the pious who have a hard time with this—Christians have a hard time with this, too. Christians everywhere are tempted to trust in their own piety, their own self-effort, as a way to make themselves right with God. In the end, we end up frustrated, bitter, exhausted, and discouraged. It happens all the time. But this is not the message that we have been given. The message Paul was on fire to tell was that we are made right with God not by our own efforts or piety, but by what Christ has done for us. Ours is to believe, to say yes to what God has already done, and to walk in the power, the goodness, the joy, and the abiding presence of Christ himself. Live in the light, the strength, and joy of Christ in you. Be one who receives and rests in his life, not one who resists and rejects it. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul today. 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today’s episode, recorded on February 5th, 2025, Hunter guides us through day 36 of our year-long journey through the Scriptures. Together, we dive into Exodus chapters 39 and 40, Psalm 15, and Acts chapter 12, exploring themes of freedom, transformation, and the power of prayer. As we witness the completion of the tabernacle and the consecration of the priests, we’re reminded of how God’s presence dwells among His people. Psalm 15 challenges us to reflect on the character of those who may enter God's sanctuary, while Acts 12 unveils Peter's miraculous deliverance from prison and contrasts it with Herod's downfall. Throughout the episode, Hunter encourages us to recognize that every gift, victory, and measure of freedom in our lives comes from God alone—not our own striving. We'll end with heartfelt prayers for ourselves, our families, and the world, trusting in God's love and letting His joy be our strength. Let’s embark on this soul-shaping journey together and open our hearts to where God’s Word might lead us today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's all a gift. Peter finally comes to his senses. He finally realizes that he was not in chains anymore, that he was free. And he quickly and immediately realizes that it was the Lord who broke those chains and set him free. We are also told that the church was praying for him. And we can't help but draw a line between the people's prayers and Peter's dramatic deliverance. Somehow the church, through prayer, was able to participate with what God was actually doing. And for all this, Peter is quick to give God the praise and acknowledge that it is all from him. It's all a gift. This is so unlike what we hear from Herod. When people begin to praise and treat him and speak of him as if he were a God, he does nothing to correct them. He readily and gladly accepts their worship. As a result, he's struck with worms and he dies an absolutely horrendous, inglorious death. When we take the glory that is due only to God, we are not free. No, we are consumed from the inside out. Living for the glory of yourself won't bring life. It won't bring freedom. It will only bring death. No matter how splendid that life might appear. God is the source of all good in our life. He's the only one who has broken the chains humanity was bound to. He's the only one who has rescued us from the dark dungeons we've been sentenced to. He's the only one that sets us free. It's all a work of God, lest any of us should boast. So let's awaken from the fog like Peter did, standing in the middle of the street, suddenly realizing that God had done this amazing thing. That his chains were broken, the gates were opened, that he was walking out free into a new day. God had done it all. Let's awaken like Peter did, to see that God has done all of these things for us too. Let's make sure that we're like Peter and give God the glory for all the good that he's brought into our life. It's all from Him. Any victories that we might have experienced, any growth that we've known as Christians, any new insight or understanding of God's love, it's all a gift from Him. These are all from God, not of us, but they are all for us. For our joy, for our freedom, but for his glory. So let's live fully aware in the knowledge that God is the source of our freedom in life. He is the one that causes chains to come off. He is the one that walks with us into a new day. May this day be one where we honor him for all that he has done. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, 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.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:Exodus 37 - 38; Psalm 19; Acts 11 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 podcast! In today’s episode for February 4th, Hunter invites us to gather around the warmth of God’s presence as we continue our journey through the Scriptures on day 35. This episode features readings from Exodus chapters 37 and 38, Psalm 19, and Acts chapter 11, where we explore the skilled craftsmanship of Bezalel, the beauty of God's creation, and the expanding reach of the gospel. As Hunter reflects on the story of Bezalel—the temple builder living “in the shadow of God”—we’re reminded that God is creating something even more precious today: a temple made of living stones, crafted from the lives of His people. The episode weaves these ancient texts into modern encouragement, calling us to find our place and purpose in the masterpiece God is building. Amid the deep winter of February, Hunter shares personal reflections and prayers for renewal, hope, and faithful steps through the season, reminding us that—even now—God is able to do amazing things. Whether joining in scripture, prayer, or simple encouragement, this episode is all about living in the reality of Christ’s love and presence. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is the master builder—and we are his masterpiece. When I was a kid, I was fascinated by shadows. There was a mystery in how they followed me, mimicking every movement, always with me but never the real thing. Today in Exodus, we hear about Bezalel, the master craftsman who built the tabernacle: a structure made of gold, silver, and precious materials, carefully crafted, beautiful and spectacular. Yet, as remarkable as it is, it’s just a shadow—a copy of something far greater, of the true temple in heaven. Bezalel’s very name means “in the shadow of God.” He worked under the shadow of a master craftsman even greater than himself—Jesus. Jesus is building a temple too, but not with gold and silver. He’s using something more precious: people. You and I are living stones, carefully fit together, placed into God’s house by his gentle and powerful hand. Christ is the master builder, building something beautiful out of our lives. As First Peter says, we are living stones, a spiritual temple, and holy priests offering spiritual sacrifices that please God. The craftsmanship of Bezalel is delightful; it’s amazing and intricate. But the true reality, the masterpiece, is what Jesus is doing. He is making a home—a dwelling and meeting place for God and us—a place of forgiveness, renewal, and communion. It’s not confined to shadows, but is alive and real in the life of Christ. So today, let’s rejoice in the master creator who has made us a part of his very life. Let’s not live merely in the shadow, but step fully into the reality of Christ. Jesus is building something wonderful, and you are included. Let’s make our home in him; it’s where we belong, it’s where we’re meant to be. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, 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...

February 3rd, 26: Exodus 35-36; Acts 10: Daily Bible in a Year
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 Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, Hunter guides us through a rich journey in scripture, pausing to reflect on powerful stories from Exodus 35-36 and Acts 10. We see the community of Israel responding with generous hearts, offering their skills and resources to build the tabernacle. Then, in the book of Acts, we encounter Cornelius, a Roman officer whose prayers and gifts are noticed by God, and witness the profound moment when God’s impartial love shatters old boundaries—reminding us that Jesus’ message is for everyone, regardless of background or status. Hunter invites us to warm our hearts by the fires of God’s presence, to be renewed in the good news that isn’t transactional, but a declaration of what God has already accomplished for all people. Don’t miss today’s encouragement to walk in the joy and strength of the gospel, remain open to the miracles God may bring, and remember—you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: His life is for everyone, and he is impartial. Jesus’ message of life is impartial and he has no favorites. It envelops everyone, regardless of nationality or political affiliation, race or gender. It doesn’t matter. Jesus has come to undo all that was done in Adam. And everyone is included, even those we think are far beyond the pale of God’s love. Don’t call unclean what I have made clean is the message Peter was given. And Cornelius, in Peter’s estimation, prior to this moment, would have been unclean. Even though Cornelius was a good man. As soon as Peter walks in the door, this good man was ready to fall down and worship Peter. Good people are falling down and worshiping the wrong things all the time. But God is revealing himself to good people everywhere. And the answer for all people, good or bad, is not, “Here’s a list of good things that you must do in order to be made right with God.” No, it’s not transactional that way. It’s not, “If you do this, then God will do that.” No, it is a declaration of what God has done on behalf of all of humanity, good people included. It’s not a sales pitch. It’s good news and it’s for everyone. And it must be proclaimed to everyone, even those you might think are unclean and far from God. That’s what Peter is learning, and that’s what is being declared. So let’s be renewed in this gospel, this gospel of Jesus, this message of what God has done for us in Christ. Let’s walk in his transforming power. He is the one who makes good people, new people; broken people, healed people; unclean people, clean people; and dead people, alive. He has done it all, and it is finished. That’s the gospel, and it’s for everyone, even me and you. So let’s walk in it today. Let’s rejoice in that today. And whatever appointment God has for you, be ready to respond. He’s impartial, and his message envelops everyone. And you never know what miracle might be on its way. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see that. That I’ll root myself in this declaration of what is—and what is, my friend, is really good. And that’s a prayer for my own soul. That’s a prayer 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.

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...

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 to journey together through Scripture on this second day of February. We dive into Exodus 33 and 34, Psalm 16, and Acts 9—witnessing powerful moments when God's presence, mercy, and transforming love shape His people. We’ll hear about Moses’ intimate conversations with God, the renewal of God’s covenant with Israel, and the incredible conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus. But it doesn’t stop there—Hunter guides us to reflect on how Jesus continues to move among us today, bringing light, forgiveness, and hope into our own upper rooms and lives. Through prayer, reflection, and the encouragement of this global community, you’re welcomed to open your heart to God’s purpose and love. So settle in, grab your Bible (or just listen along), and let’s step into another day together, reminded that Jesus is still here—working, transforming, and calling each of us by name. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He's still there. The book is called Acts of the Apostles, and we're going to see a lot of the apostles in the days ahead, especially Paul and Peter. But the person we're going to see the most is Jesus. This book could be called the Acts of Jesus because he's still there with his followers, doing what he always does. But now he's moving beyond Israel and is outside the city of Damascus. He's about to do those things that we've seen him do. He's about to overwhelm one of his enemies with light and forgiveness and love. He'll blind Saul and transform him into Paul. He's on his way up into another upper room where people are mourning the loss of a generous-hearted woman named Tabitha. Peter's there in that room for sure. But the writer of this book doesn't want you to miss the fact that Jesus is there too. If this moment sounds familiar, it should, because it echoes back to Jesus in an upper room, the room of Jairus, the synagogue ruler, with his twelve-year-old daughter, a girl Jesus called Talitha. Both Tabitha and Talitha had passed from life to death. He's still doing what he always does. He's bringing life where there was once death. And he's here with us today too, doing now what he has always done. He's overwhelming our resistant hearts with his light, forgiveness, and love, opening eyes to see more and more just who he is, the way he did with Paul. He's also entering into the upper rooms of our hearts where there is death and a need for resurrection and hope. There he takes us by the hand and says words like, it's time to get up. It's time to live. He's still there doing what he does. He's bringing his light and forgiveness and love. And he's doing this all around the world, even today. In fact, he's in the room with you right now. Do you hear him? Do you sense his presence? Hear his word of forgiveness and light and love? Let him take you by the hand and raise you up to new life. Today. 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...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today’s episode, we’re celebrating the start of a new month together and diving deep into the transformative power of Scripture. Join Hunter as we journey through Exodus 30-32 and Acts 8, exploring the story of covenant, rebellion, forgiveness, and the persistent love of God. We’ll see how the Israelites, fresh from the promise of God, falter and how Moses intercedes, reminding us that our relationship with God is rooted in faith and His steadfast promises. We’ll also witness the early church facing persecution, yet spreading the good news of Jesus with joy and power. Whether you’re reading along for the first time or returning for encouragement, this episode offers honest reflection, heartfelt prayer, and a reminder that God’s grace is always reaching for us. Settle in for Scripture, prayer, and inspiration to carry you through your day—you are loved, no doubt about it! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Aaron and the people are getting carried away. In fact, the ink hasn't even dried yet on this covenant agreement between God and his people before they go ahead and break it. And boy, do they break it. They break it in such grand fashion that it's almost comical. In fact, Moses even notes that the enemies of the people stand at a distance, amused. They saw this dark humor, that these people who had been delivered by God were abandoning him so early and worshiping a god made out of their own earrings. The treachery of the human heart is no laughing matter, however. And Moses pleads with God. He appeals to God, to the covenant promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, based on the relationship that he had with these people that he knew by name. He does not appeal to the covenant law. He doesn't appeal to God as judge. No. He appeals to his relationship and to the relationship he had with the three patriarchs which was established in faith. Abraham believed that God would make his descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, just like God told him. He believed that all the nations of the earth would be blessed through his seed, through his descendant. That a champion, a Messiah would come through him. And that this Messiah would transform the treacherous, law-breaking, idol-worshiping hearts of every human being. He would do it by invading our humanity and putting on flesh. He would accomplish what we could not do. He would remain faithful where we have been faithless. And he would offer himself as a perfect sacrifice on our behalf that we might have that relationship with God that we were created for, restored and renewed. And he would do this on behalf of all. And that includes you, my friend. He has come to draw you into his very life—the vicarious humanity of Christ. Christ being faithful where you have not been faithful. Christ being obedient when we failed to be obedient. Christ forgiving when we have failed to forgive. Christ being all in all on behalf of all. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see it. I'll catch a greater glimpse of that good news that Philip saw, of the good news that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob saw. That I will see it and that I will know his freedom and his joy. And that's a prayer that I have for my family too, 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.

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...

January 31st, 26: Exodus 28- 29; Acts 7: Daily Bible in a Year
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: 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 podcast! In today’s episode for January 31st, 2026, Hunter guides us through the final day of January with a deep and meaningful journey into Scripture. We continue our exploration of Exodus, digging into chapters 28 and 29, where God gives detailed instructions for Aaron and his sons to be set apart as priests. We witness the sacred garments, rituals, and ceremonies that marked their consecration, pointing to themes of holiness and representation before God. Switching to the New Testament, Hunter reads from Acts 7, recounting Stephen’s powerful defense before the high priest—a sweeping narrative that ties together the story of Abraham, Moses, and Israel, culminating in the revelation of Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s promise to liberate and redeem all of humanity. Stephen’s words serve as an invitation to embrace God’s story—a story of hope, freedom, and love—and to recognize Christ’s work in drawing us into a life that is full and free. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers for peace, unity, purpose, and love, reminding listeners of God’s presence and faithfulness as they step into a new month. If you’re seeking encouragement and spiritual rhythm in your daily life, join Hunter for Scripture, reflection, and prayer—knowing that you are loved, no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The story is not over. Stephen is giving us a sweeping historical account to open the eyes of people trapped in a story that does not give them life. And that, my friend, is so easy to do. We so easily get swept up into our pride, our ambition, our past, our shame, our regrets. We can be so buried and blinded by our story that we fail to see that we have been drawn into the story of God—a story of liberation, of freedom, a story of hope, a story of love. Stephen has shown us that all of history is pointing to Christ, who has come for all humanity to set us free from slavery and to make us his own. And Christ has given himself that he might drag all of humanity into the story that we were made for. So let us humbly agree and say thank you for what Christ has done, for what you have become in him. You are his child and you are free. So let us live in the light and the freedom of what God has done in Christ—for you, for me, for the whole world. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer that I have for my family, 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.

January 30th, 26: Exodus 25-27 ; Acts 6: Daily Bible in a Year
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 podcast! In today’s episode for January 30th, Hunter guides us on a journey through Exodus 25-27 and Acts 6, inviting listeners to move beyond just reading pages and instead open their hearts to the life-changing love of Jesus. You’ll hear detailed readings from scripture—diving into the intricate instructions for the tabernacle and witnessing the early church’s challenges and growth as Stephen steps into leadership. But this episode is more than just scripture; Hunter reflects on how the tabernacle was a foreshadowing of Christ, who now invites us all into a deeper, abiding relationship with God. Together, we'll pray, meditate, and remember that each day is an opportunity to experience God’s mercy, joy, and peace. No matter where you are in your journey, you’ll leave this episode encouraged, reminded that you are loved, and inspired to continue walking in God’s grace. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What’s it all about? The seemingly endless list of tabernacle instructions are so specific, so exact, it can leave a person wondering what it’s all about. The tabernacle was a place where God would meet man in a unique way. It was an intersection between heaven and earth, between God and man. The covenant between God and his people was affirmed there. The stone tablets of the covenant were stored there in the ark. The lid of the ark was the place of atonement. All these things were taking place in the tabernacle. And we are told that the tabernacle was a pattern of things that were in heaven. The tabernacle helped tell the story of God, of his love and salvation that he brings to the whole world. This was an important place. These are important symbols. But it was only a shadow of something far greater, of things yet to come. It was a shadow of Christ. Christ came to be the intersection between heaven and earth. He came to tabernacle and dwell with us. He was the place of atonement—the person of atonement that takes away the sins of the world. In John 2:19, Jesus says, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” He’s referring to himself there, his own body, because he’s the fulfillment of the shadow we see in Exodus. We’re not only reconciled to God through his body, he’s also given us his life right here, right now. We see this in Stephen. He was full of the Spirit and wisdom, so full that his countenance is being lit up. He’s dwelling, he’s abiding in the tabernacle, if you will—in Christ. He’s abiding in Christ at that very moment. And we too can experience this abiding life in Christ. We can abide in the greater tabernacle—in Him. We can live from this place of forgiveness in his presence. And we too can find the power for life and healing here and now. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see this through the shadows of these pages and that I will see it even through the shadows of day-to-day life, that I’ll have ears to hear, eyes that are wide open to abide in the mercy and the grace of this given day, to abide in Him. That’s the prayer that I have for my soul. That’s the 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...

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 podcast! On this January 29th episode, join Hunter as he guides us through day 29 of our year-long journey through the Bible. Together, we’ll explore the guidelines given in Exodus 23–24, reflect on the heartfelt cry of Psalm 14, and witness the early church's challenges and triumphs in Acts 5—including the powerful and sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira. Throughout the episode, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, helps us see how these passages all point to the Living Word, Jesus—the One who offers us abundant life. We'll be reminded how easily the simple message of Christ can be missed or manipulated, and invited once again to say yes to the true message: life in Him. We finish with meaningful prayers and practical encouragement for our spiritual journey, all wrapped in a spirit of gratitude and community. Thank you for joining us as we walk this pilgrim road together—let’s dive into today’s reading and let the Word do its work in our hearts. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The message is so simple. And yet, as we read today, Ananias and Sapphira got that message so very wrong. The High Council and the religious leaders, too, missed the central truth. And that's pretty much true to form for most religion—the simple message of God can often be missed, misused, or manipulated. Ananias and Sapphira thought this message was about getting—position, influence, prominence. They wanted to manipulate, to use the message for gain, not for giving. The heart of what God offers was missed in their striving, their attempt to appear generous when it was really driven by self-interest. Then we see the religious leaders; they saw the message as a threat to their control and their standing. They tried to stop it, seeing it not as good news of life but as something that threatened their systems. And isn't this true for us as well? Inside and outside the church we often take the message of life and shape it into something else—a tool for manipulation, or a means to gain acceptance or justify ourselves, or a way to maintain power or status. But the message is so simple, and we see it again today, spoken with clarity by the angel to Peter and John: “Go to the temple and give the people this message of… life.” That's it. Life. You've been included into the very life of God. Let go of all the false messages, let go of the need to control, to pretend, to justify. Just say yes to this simple truth, and experience life—here and now. Jesus himself tells us, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). In him was life, and that life was the light of all people (John 4). It's not about power, or prestige, or gaining influence. It's about participating in the abundant, eternal life that God gives freely. Among all the twisted manipulations of the human heart comes God's invitation: Step into life. Don't miss it; receive it, enter and awaken to the life offered to you. Walk with him. Participate with him. You can start right now, simply by turning your heart toward God in gratitude—“Thank you for life, Lord Jesus. I walk with you today.” That is the prayer for my soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and that’s the 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.

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...

January 28th, 26: Exodus 21-22, Psalm 12; Acts 4: Daily Bible in a Year
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: 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 guides us through a thoughtful reading of Exodus 21-22, Psalm 12, and Acts 4. As we journey through some of the most challenging laws in Exodus, Hunter encourages us to see these ancient rules in their historical context and, even more importantly, in the context of our fallen humanity. We’re reminded that the Bible is not just about rules, but about the transforming love and freedom found in Jesus Christ. We’ll witness the bold faith of Peter and John as they proclaim the life-changing power of Jesus, and explore how the early church began to embody a new kind of community—one marked by generosity, unity, and sharing. Hunter calls us to wake up to this new reality in Christ, turning from the lies that bind us and stepping fully into our identity as dearly loved children of God. Alongside our time in Scripture, today’s episode offers heartfelt prayers, a spirit of gratitude, and a gentle reminder: you are loved. Join us as we establish life-giving rhythms in God’s Word and begin this day together with hope and purpose. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's hard to make sense of these laws in Exodus. They're hard on the ears. They're hard on our souls. These rules we hear dictating the treatment of slaves and women seem so cruel and barbaric. They're hard to hear. In understanding them, it's important that we try to see them in their historical and cultural context. But maybe even more important is that we see them in the context of the fallen human heart. These hard and confusing laws that are being described here are a result of a fallen human heart living in a fallen world. And God in many respects is conceding to this state of affairs through giving us these laws, but only for a while. He will not tolerate this forever. And we should not, as some Christians have in the past, interpret these scriptures in such a way that we say God is okay with slavery. To say that is to misread what the whole Bible is about. To say that is to misunderstand who Jesus himself is. He has come to set humanity free, to break the bonds of our slavery. God is not okay with slavery. Period. He's done something about this. He has given us himself, the promised Messiah that Peter so boldly proclaims in this chapter in Acts. Peter is living out of a new heart. He's a part of a growing community—at this point, 5,000—who are waking up to a new reality in Christ. This new community we see in Acts is so different than the one that's being formed in Exodus. In this new community, God is no longer conceding to hard hearts. Instead, he has drawn them into his own heart, into his own life. And out of this place of wholeness and life in God, they are learning to walk in this new reality as the new people of God. Not living out of a place of dominance or superiority or fear or ownership of one another that we see all over in Exodus. Instead, we see a community that is self-giving, it's generous, compassionate, and loving. In Exodus, we see only a shadow, glimpses of the heart of God in these laws that are described. But in Christ we see the very face of God—his unfiltered and perfect reflection of the nature and the character of God, fully seen, fully known. In the Son, you have been invited to wake up, to wake up to the new reality in Christ. Through him you have been enveloped into the triune life of God. You are free, you are holy, you are his and you are loved. This is what's true. This is what is ours. Ours is to agree with God. To turn from the lies that keep us living like a slave and begin to live in the truth, in the light, as the daughter that you are, the son that you are. The prayer of my own heart is that today I'll be fully awake. That I'll live in this new reality that I've been swept up into. And that's a prayer that I have for my family, 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, we continue our journey through the Scriptures on this 27th day of January, focusing not just on reading the Bible, but on experiencing the transforming life and love of Jesus. Hunter guides us through pivotal passages in Exodus and the book of Acts, revisiting powerful stories such as Moses striking the rock at Massah, the Israelites’ encounter at Mount Sinai, the giving of the Ten Commandments, and the miraculous healing at the temple gate in Acts 3. As Hunter reflects on these stories, we’re reminded that faith isn’t just about history or transaction—it’s about a deep, personal relationship with God, one that lifts us up and invites us to stand upright in His love. Along the way, Hunter invites us to pause for moments of prayer, gratitude, and reflection, encouraging us to keep taking steps toward Jesus and to allow God’s love to flow through our lives and into the world around us. Whether you’re joining in for the first time or you’ve been with us from the beginning, this episode is a call to embrace your place in God’s story—a story where you are loved, you are seen, and you are never alone. Let’s dive in together! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He sees you and calls you to walk upright. As Peter and John made their way to the temple, they encountered a man who had never walked. He was sitting at the Beautiful Gate, hoping for a little help—maybe a few coins from a kind passerby. What he was really searching for was someone who would stop, see him, and take notice in the midst of the crowds. Peter and John did just that. They looked at him intently—not with eyes of pity or indifference, but with the same eyes Jesus had for those who were hurting and in need. They saw him, really saw him. In that moment, Peter didn’t offer silver or gold. Instead, he offered something far greater: the life and power of Jesus. "In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk." This was no transaction. This was not about what the man could earn, believe, or accomplish on his own. It was a declaration—a gift rooted entirely in Christ: who he is and what he has done. So often, we can see ourselves in that beggar at the gate—waiting and hoping, feeling unseen and unworthy, longing for scraps when Jesus is offering wholeness. The good news is, the Gospel is not a sales pitch or an exchange. It doesn’t depend on what we put forth, but on what Christ has done. He reaches down, takes us by the hand, and invites us to stand—fully loved, fully included in God’s covenant promises. You are not a beggar at God’s table. You are his beloved child, meant to walk upright, embraced by the love of the Father. Let Jesus look into your heart today. Let him lift you up. Walk confidently in the reality of who you are in Christ. This is not just for a select few—it is for you, for your family, for all who would receive him. The life that is being given to you, in Jesus, is not about merit but about his finished work and his love that calls you by name. That is my prayer for my own soul. That is my prayer for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that is my prayer 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...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! On this 26th day of January, Hunter welcomes both new and returning listeners as we continue our journey through the Bible, reminding us that this is more than just a reading plan—it’s an invitation to transformation and deeper faith. In today’s episode, we dive into Exodus chapters 14 through 16 and Acts chapter 2, witnessing the dramatic crossing of the Red Sea, God’s miraculous provision of manna, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Hunter reflects on what stands in our way, whether it’s insurmountable obstacles or small, bitter moments, and points us toward God’s power to deliver, heal, and fulfill His promises. With heartfelt prayers and practical encouragement, he invites us to keep walking this daily journey together—one step at a time—trusting in God's love, strength, and joy for whatever lies ahead. So, grab your Bible and join us as we listen, reflect, and pray, allowing God’s word to shape our lives today. Certainly! Here is the devotional section, transcribed from after the scripture reading and before the prayer, presented in the matching tone, style, and format of your example: TODAY'S DEVOTION: What’s standing in your way? Is it as big as the Red Sea? Or maybe it’s just a small pond, but the waters in that pond are bitter. What is standing in your way? What keeps you from moving forward? Where are you stuck? In today’s story, the people of Israel were stuck. When they stared out over the impossibility of that giant Red Sea, they were stuck. And when they stared into that small little pond called Marah, they were stuck. In both cases, they faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and in both cases, God found a way to move them through what was standing in their way. And when God delivered them, there was dancing, worship, and song. They sang and danced because God delivered them by taking them across the Red Sea, saving them from Pharaoh’s army. But only three days later, it wasn’t the Red Sea anymore—it was a small, bitter pond. There, their song turned into complaint. Rather than looking to God, they looked for someone to blame. That’s a picture of our own hearts. Our singing can so quickly turn to blaming. Yet God has nothing to apologize for. He promises to bring us out of bondage and into the land of promise. The real obstacle is not the sea or the bitter water—it’s our own hearts. It’s about whether we will see God for who he really is: a God who sees us, fights for us, delivers us, and makes good on his promises. Will we see ourselves as ransomed, delivered, no longer slaves but God’s very own possession? At Marah, God showed Moses a tree—a healing tree. God told him to throw the tree into the bitter waters, and the poison was absorbed. Healing was released. The picture is clear: God, in his great love, knowing our tendency to despair, provided a healing tree—a foreshadowing of the cross, where Jesus absorbed our poison and released his life into us. God’s answer for our heart is himself, offered for us on the tree. He makes a way through the impassable, so humanity can be released into true life. This life is meant to be lived in faith, trusting the God who is good, believing that he has truly transformed us through his great act of deliverance and love. We are no longer slaves, but his. The healing life of that tree is for you, right now, today. My prayer is that I’ll see this by faith, that I’ll hold on to this gift as I read and reflect on my life. That I will possess the one who has possessed me. That I’ll adore him, worship, sing, and even dance. And that’s a prayer that I have for my own soul, for my family—for my wife, 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.

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...

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 January 25th! In today’s episode, Hunter invites us to journey together through powerful passages from Exodus 12–13, Psalm 21, and Acts 1. We begin by reflecting on the first Passover—the night God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt—and how this foreshadows the redemption we find in Christ, our true Passover Lamb. As Hunter guides us through these readings, we’re reminded that salvation isn’t just a story of the past; it’s an invitation to walk in freedom and newness of life today. We’ll pray together, lift up our world, and step into this new day with the confidence that we are God’s beloved children. Whether you’re new to the journey or a long-time listener, Hunter encourages us to live deeply into this reality—knowing and remembering always: you are loved. Let’s get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: It was a night to remember. A horrific night. Judgment struck the firstborn of Egypt, but not for everyone. For those who put the blood of a spotless lamb over their doorposts, death would pass by. For those who were covered by the Lamb, for them there was life. John alludes to this in the first chapter of his Gospel. He says, look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. And Paul later on says in First Corinthians 5, Christ is our Passover lamb who has been sacrificed for us. And later on in his second Epistle to the Corinthians, he says this in chapter five, God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not counting their sins against them. Over and over again through the Scriptures, we see that the Lamb came to cover everyone. We see God’s reconciling work by the shedding of his blood for all. And with that sacrifice, Jesus has won our victory. He’s won our peace with God. This is a day to be remembered. It’s all pointing to the cross, to the life, the death, the resurrection, the ascension of Jesus. It’s the beginning of days where life begins. It’s the Gospel. The Israelites were told to eat this Passover meal with a staff in their hand. When God rescues us and frees us from our bondage to slavery and sin through his death, he does that fully intending that we start walking with him, participating with him in this new life that he has for us right here, right now, the advancing of his work right here, right now. Part of what this new life has purchased for us is the ability to walk with him. The Israelites had to go through the Red Sea, through the wilderness and into the land of Canaan. And we, like them, have been invited to go on a life changing walk with him. This walk of life takes us into the land of promise and blessing. And it’s not just out there, it’s right here today, as you’re listening to this podcast. You’re listening as a free woman, a free man, somebody who has been delivered by the spotless lamb of God. He has wrapped you up and included you in his community, a community that is on a walk with him into a new day, a day that’s free. Free from the slavery that you once lived under. You are no longer a slave. No. You are his child. You are a citizen. You are a part of the community. You’ve been drawn in. You’ve been made his. This redemption, this salvation that you have experienced is for today. And today you can begin to live in the joy and the wisdom, the strength and the confidence of it. Today you can confidently grow into the person that you really are. Not a slave, but a loved child of God. That is what you are. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will begin to live more confidently in that reality. And that’s a prayer that I have for my family too, 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.

January 24th, 26: Exodus 9–11 ; Luke 24: Daily Bible in a Year
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 the powerful stories of Exodus chapters 9–11 and Luke 24. As we journey through moments of great trial in Egypt—the devastating plagues and Pharaoh’s hardened heart—we’re reminded of God’s persistent call to freedom and faith. Then we shift to a scene of heartbreak and surprise: the risen Jesus walks alongside two disciples on the road to Emmaus, opening their eyes to hope once again. Throughout the episode, Hunter encourages us to be attentive to how Jesus meets us in our own moments of disappointment and confusion, just as he did with the disciples so long ago. With thoughtful reflection, heartfelt prayers, and an invitation to see the world through love, we’re guided to find God’s presence—and transforming joy—even in unexpected places. Whether you’re new to this community or a longtime listener, there’s a warm welcome here to walk together in faith, prayer, and hope. Let’s open our hearts to God’s word and remember: you are loved, no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus meets these two men on the way to a little town outside of Jerusalem. It’s a seven-mile walk and the town is called Emmaus. Their hearts are dejected, their hopes and aspirations dashed. They’re broken. Having followed Jesus through his ministry, they had hoped that he was the Messiah. They had seen many of his miraculous signs and they were overcome by his amazing teaching and thought, “This could be it. This might be the man.” Yet three days prior, they had seen that man that they had pinned all their hopes on crucified. Now the story that they hoped for had come to an end. So they thought. But it’s here, at this moment, when their hearts are at their darkest and their hopes are most broken, that Jesus shows up. He’s veiled to them, but eventually he’s going to unveil Himself and show them who He really is. At this point, veiled Jesus reminds them of some things they should have known, things they should have seen. Luke writes that Jesus says to them, “You foolish people, you find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before he entered his glory?” And then, this stranger on the road begins to take them through the writings of Moses and the prophets, and he explains from the Scriptures what they should have been able to see. There are things that we should be able to see that Jesus can reveal to us. Luke says he took them through the Scriptures concerning himself. He explains who the Messiah is. He is offering them a way—a way of seeing, seeing things that they should have been able to see, things about God, things about themselves, things about love. He is showing them that He is the way that we begin to regain our sight: to see what is true about ourselves, about God, about the world, about what is true. We are on a journey. These two are on a journey to Emmaus, and they’re trying to talk their way clear on this profound disappointment in their life. They’re disappointed with what they believe to be true. They’re disappointed that God didn’t somehow change the circumstances, that Jesus didn’t meet their expectations. They’re disappointed with the world and the way it is. They’re disappointed with themselves. No doubt they had hope for something and they thought that that hope had let them down. Maybe you are on your own journey to Emmaus, or maybe you know what that’s like. Maybe you are disappointed—disappointed that God didn’t come through the way you thought he would, that things haven’t worked out. Maybe you’re disappointed with yourself. Maybe you had hopes that didn’t pan out. Maybe today we can pay close attention and see the way that Jesus is inviting us to see. Maybe today we can pay close attention to the presence of God with us. He might be unrecognizable at first, but maybe we can pay special attention and listen to Him. If we do, He will often open up the Scriptures to help us to see things that we should have seen all along. Maybe He will reveal Himself in the breaking of bread, and you’ll see that He has been with you through it all—even the disappointments, the hopes unrealized. Maybe if we keep listening and walking, we’ll discover His way of seeing: seeing the world, seeing ourselves, seeing our neighbors, seeing all things through love. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer that I have for my family, 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.

January 23rd, 26: Exodus 6-8 ; Luke 23: Daily Bible in a Year
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 podcast! In today’s episode, Hunter invites us to settle into God’s Word as we journey through Exodus 6-8 and Luke 23. This reading takes us from the miraculous signs and growing tension between Moses and Pharaoh, all the way to the profound day of rest that follows Jesus’ crucifixion. As Hunter reflects, even in moments of chaos and suffering—like the horrors that unfolded on Good Friday—God draws us into a deeper rest, completed through Christ’s work on the cross. We’re reminded that, no matter how busy or distracted life might get, God offers us peace, forgiveness, and the invitation to simply receive His rest. Join Hunter as he prays over you, shares encouragement, and reminds us all that the work has been finished and that, in Christ, we are truly loved. Whether you’re tuning in for the first time or coming back for daily nourishment, this episode is an invitation to draw near and be transformed by the presence of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: All hell was breaking loose. And Luke tells us that the people rested. The horrors of this day, the day of Christ’s suffering, are culminating in a moment of rest. The women from Galilee who had witnessed Jesus’ body being taken down from the cross went home on that horrific day thinking they still had work to do. We’re told in verse 56 that they went home and prepared spices and ointments to anoint his body. But by the time they were finished, the Sabbath had begun. So they rested from their work. Even after all of these horrors, they thought that there was still work to be done. What they did not know was that Jesus, on this Good Friday, had completed all the work necessary. So now theirs was to rest. Now the Sabbath had really come. Jesus finished the work so that the girls could rest. He finished the work so that you and I could find rest. On that Friday, Jesus went to work for bystanders and mocking soldiers. He went to work for reluctant Pilate and indulged Herod. He went to work for guilty Barabbas and Simon the Cyrene. Jesus went to work for sign makers, cross builders, common criminals, gamblers, good and righteous men like Joseph of Arimathea, and heartbroken women who are forced to watch at a distance. Jesus was finishing his work on that Friday so that we all could find rest. Jesus was giving his everything. He was working hard. He did for us what we could not do for ourselves. He has done the work—the work of redeeming, rescuing, forgiving the sins of the world. He forgave us because we did not know what we were doing. That’s why he came to us. Because we don’t know. We’re trapped and blinded, unable to save ourselves. We don’t know what we’re doing. Jesus said so himself on the cross, “Father, forgive them. They don’t know what they are doing.” Athanasius says, what then was God to do when he saw humanity spiraling into non-being? What was God to do because they didn’t know? He would send his Son. Our Lord Jesus would come to rescue us so that at last our eyes would be opened and we would be awakened to life and rest in him. That rest belongs to you. It belongs to all of humanity. He made it free out of the abundance of his heart of love. He did that work. There’s nothing left for me to do other than to step in, to say yes, to receive freely the rest that there is in him. And that’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer that I have for my family, 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...

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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today’s episode, Hunter welcomes listeners on January 20th and invites us to continue our journey through the Bible. Whether it’s your first day tuning in or you’ve been part of this community for years, you’re in the right place to read through the Scriptures and experience their transformative power. This episode takes us through Genesis chapters 49 and 50, Psalm 8, and Luke 20—unpacking the blessings of Jacob over his sons, Joseph’s faithful leadership and legacy in Egypt, the majesty of God in creation, and powerful teachings and parables from Jesus about authority, faith, and the kingdom of God. Not only will you hear the Word read and reflected on, but Hunter also leads a sincere time of prayer and speaks about the importance of receiving God’s blessing in your life. You’ll be reminded that you are uniquely made, loved, and created for a purpose, as you continue opening your heart to God each day. Join us today as we reflect, pray, and walk together on this journey—knowing that, above all, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: You were made for blessing. Have you ever been blessed? Has anyone ever spoken words of blessing and life on behalf of God over your life? Has anyone ever spoken over you about God's design for you, his purposes yet to be fulfilled by him in you? Has anyone ever blessed you? You, me—we are made for that kind of blessing. You were created to be blessed. Our destiny is somehow wrapped up in this thing called blessing. When words of blessing fail to reach our ears or our life, there are hard consequences. We are restless until we find that blessing from God, that blessing that you were made for. Many of you may be able to say that you have received those kinds of words. You have been blessed in this way. People have spoken words on behalf of God over you. They have recognized what God is doing in your life, how he has made you so uniquely, what he has called and created you for. And those words have made all the difference. But I'd guess that many, if not most of you, have not heard or received those words of blessing. You need to know that you were made for it, that God wants you to hear those words of life spoken over you by him. He wants you to know how uniquely you have been made, how important you are, that you matter, that you have a purpose. That he loves you and desires to bless you. He wants you to know it. My prayer is that as you meet him, as we come to him each day through the Word, as you invite him to open your heart and mind and eyes in your everyday life, you will hear him speak. You will hear his words of blessing over you, hear him speak deeply into your life and know that you are loved. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the January 19th, 2024 episode of the Daily Radio Bible! In today's journey, Hunter invites us to step into the pages of Scripture—not just to read words, but to meet the living Word, Jesus himself. Together, we explore Genesis 47–48, Psalm 10, and Luke 19, witnessing how God weaves his story through famine and blessing, through honest prayers and powerful parables. You’ll hear Hunter as he reflects on the generosity of the King in Jesus' parable, reminding us that we are entrusted with gifts and opportunities—not because of what we’ve earned, but because of God’s abundant kindness. Through thoughtful prayer and heartfelt encouragement, you’ll be challenged to remember your identity as one deeply loved and called to invest God’s riches in the world. So grab your Bible, quiet your heart, and join Hunter as we journey together, point our eyes to Jesus, and discover just how loved we truly are. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Do you see it? Two of the three servants described in this parable saw it. They saw a gift. They saw an opportunity. They were chosen by the king to steward his riches. They had no riches of their own. They had the opportunity to be made wealthy by someone else’s wealth. They would be honored by the king, and that honor would be multiplied simply by investing money that wasn’t even theirs, simply by participating in the gifts that were given to them by the king. They harvested riches where they did not plant. They were given cities that they had no hand in building. That is the kind of king that we serve. He is a generous and loving king. So much so that he blesses us with things that we haven’t earned and don’t deserve. He has chosen us to invest his riches, and then he multiplies our honor even beyond that. What a generous, kind, loving king he is. Two of the three servants saw it. One servant of the king got it all wrong. His response to the generous king was, "Master, I hid your money and I kept it safe. I was afraid because you’re a hard man to deal with, taking things that aren’t yours, harvesting crops that you don’t plant." This guy is deceived about who the master is—what the master’s heart is truly like—and who he himself is. He has forgotten that he is a servant and that he has a responsibility to that king. That’s his role. That’s who he is. He has forgotten his identity. Apart from the king, he has no riches and he’s forgotten this and missed the loving, generous heart of the king. Our King wants to reward, honor, and multiply his blessings upon us. May we invest our loving king’s riches because we have seen his heart, because we’ve been reminded of who we are. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. And that’s a prayer that I have for my family, 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In this episode, Hunter invites us into the story of Joseph and his family’s dramatic reunion, exploring Genesis 44–46 and Luke 18. Together, we’ll journey through the emotional moments when Joseph reveals himself to his brothers in Egypt, Jacob uproots his family in faith, and God’s promises unfold in unexpected ways.

Get ready for heartfelt scripture readings, practical spiritual encouragement, and prayers to start your day with hope. Whether you’re seeking guidance, comfort, or simply a daily rhythm in God’s word, you’re in the right place—so let’s dive in together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Never give up. That's a popular sentiment these days. It's used in sports, in business; it's found on t-shirts and bumper stickers. Giving up is easy. I've done it way too much in my life. I've given up on goals, I've given up on hopes, I've given up on relationships. I'm sad to say that I've given up on way too much that I needed to hold on to in this life. And I've also held on to things I should have given up long ago—resentments, anger, my need to be right, my need for approval. I've held on to these things way too long. Maybe you can relate. It seems like the trick is to give up on the wrong things and never give up on the right things. In Luke 18, Jesus says that we should keep praying and never give up. Prayer seems to be connected to our ability to hold on to the right things. Prayer is a two-way conversation; it's relational. We share our hearts, our fears, our failures, our life with Him. And He shares His life, His word, His heart, His hopes for us. It's a two-way thing. God is speaking to us in prayer, and we are listening to His voice and His leading. We hear from Him, we respond, and we worship Him. Without this relationship, giving up is inevitable. It's just way too easy. But when we pray, we are given the strength to hold on, to endure, to never give up. In today's reading, we hear Jacob listening to God speak to him, late at night, in a place called Beersheba. The last time God spoke to Jacob in Beersheba was many years ago, when he was preparing to leave home, fleeing from his brother. He laid his head on a rock and saw a stairway to heaven with the Lord at the top, and God promised him the land and descendants as numerous as the dust of the earth. Now, years later, God comes to him once again, and again Jacob is having to leave the land God had promised to him. It didn't look like the promise would be fulfilled anytime soon—Jacob was headed in the opposite direction, would even die in a different land without seeing the promise fulfilled. But out in the distance, too far for Jacob to see, God was bringing about the fulfillment of all He had promised. Jacob needed to keep on praying and never give up. God told him that Joseph, his son, would be with him to the end. For us, someone even greater than Joseph is with us—not Jacob's son but God's Son, who will be with us to the very end. Hebrews 11:13 reminds us that all these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. So keep praying. Never give up. God is faithful. If we live a life of faith, a life of prayer, a life in relationship with Him, then we will have the strength we need to never give up. He who promised is faithful; He will fulfill all His promises. We are the recipients of the promise made to Jacob. That promise that Jacob never got to see with his earthly eyes—God has fulfilled. Most of you aren't from the nation of Israel, yet you are the fulfillment of that promise. You have been included in the blessing. So let's keep praying. Let's never give up. God's Son is with us, and He will be with us to the very end. He will close our eyes, and He will wake us up. Hallelujah. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for you, and for our world. May it be so.
