TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! On this episode for February 23rd, 2026, join Hunter and Heather as they guide us through day 54 of their journey in the Bible. Today's readings include Numbers 12 and 13, Psalm 90, and Mark chapter 2, highlighting moments of faith, humility, and God's unwavering presence. Together, they reflect on how God's grace transforms our lives—reminding us that forgiveness, belonging, and love are gifts freely given through Christ. The episode wraps up with heartfelt prayers, the Lord's Prayer, and a special anniversary celebration between Hunter and Heather, marking 35 years of faithfully walking together. Tune in for encouragement, spiritual insight, and a reminder that—no matter where you are in your journey—you are truly loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: They had questions in their hearts that stood in the way of them receiving healing and forgiveness. Sometimes our questions are more of an accusation or an indictment than they are real questions. The teachers of religious law saw Jesus extend compassion to this paralytic. They stood there and watched Jesus respond to these four men who had come in faith bringing their friend in need. They watched these men do outrageous things like digging through a roof and lowering their friend right smack dab in front of Jesus. These friends had interrupted all that was going on so that they could get an audience with Jesus. The teachers observed all this take place, and they saw Jesus respond not just with compassion and healing but with forgiveness of sins. And they objected. They accused him. They indicted him. "What is he saying? He's blaspheming. Only God can forgive sins," they said. What was in these religious teachers' hearts was disbelief that God could really make good on his promise in scripture to send his son to heal and restore the world. They were insisting on their own way, a way like all religion that had learned how to leverage sin, to leverage despair, to leverage the frailty of people for their own advantage. But Jesus, he offers us a new way. Not the old wineskin—no, this is new wine. Not the old garment, but something absolutely new. Not us fulfilling the law, not us being faithful, not us being holy. It's not us at all. Rather, it's all God. God has put it all on himself. God is fulfilling the law. God is being faithful. God is being holy. The new way is not to look at our own efforts and our own piety. The new way is simply to look to the One, to Jesus, who has come to fulfill all that was needed for a human race that is paralyzed, unable to stand upright and walk. The Gospel is what God has done. It is already finished. It is not a transactional proposition. It is not, "If you do this, God will do that." It's not quid pro quo. No, the Gospel is all God. What he has already accomplished for the world on the cross. Ours is to awaken to the new reality, the new wine that is right here, right now. It is a declaration of what already is. It's the good news. You already are forgiven. You already belong to him even before you knew it. Today, let us place our hearts before the God who alone has already done all that is needed. Today, let us hear his words spoken to the paralytic: "Your sins are forgiven." That's for you. Now get up, take your mat, and walk. 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. 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 ...

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, Heather brings us together for the 53rd day of our journey through the scriptures, focusing on Numbers chapters 10 and 11, Psalm 27, and Mark chapter 1. As we gather from around the world, Heather reminds us that we approach the scriptures not for their sake alone, but because they point us to Jesus—the true source of life. Throughout this episode, we witness the Israelites' journey from Sinai, their challenges and complaints, Moses's struggles as a leader, and God's powerful response. In Psalm 27, David's deep trust in God encourages us to seek refuge and confidence in His presence. And in Mark 1, Heather highlights the beginning of Jesus' ministry, his compassion for the outcast, and the transformative power of his touch. We end with reflection, prayer, and encouragement to live each day renewed by God's love—abiding in Him, carrying His peace to the world, and remembering: you are loved. Join us as we open our hearts to scripture, the Holy Spirit's illumination, and the renewing love of Christ. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The story of God's Spirit shared among his people runs like a current through today's readings. In Numbers, Joshua hesitated, unsure if the others were worthy to receive the Spirit that had been given to Moses. But Moses, with a heart tuned to God's desire, longed for all of God's people to be filled with that same Spirit. That longing—the dream that none would be left out, that everyone would know the life that comes from God—is fulfilled in Jesus. Jesus stands in the power of the Spirit, bringing good news, healing, and restoration to all kinds of people: fishermen, the sick, the demon-possessed, and even a leper—a man considered so unclean, so unreachable. It's that very leper, made clean and whole by Jesus's touch, who becomes one of his greatest heralds. He's compelled to tell everyone what's happened, to spread the word that Jesus is willing and able to heal and make new. This is the story still being told today. Those who have been made clean, healed of brokenness and isolation, can't help but declare what Jesus has done. All the former "lepers"—the ones who know what it means to be outcast, who have experienced grace—are letting the world know the compassion of Jesus. This isn't a story reserved for the past. Even now, right where you are, the hands of Jesus reach out with love, to make you clean, to restore your soul. Maybe this is happening for you in this very moment. That is the hope and purpose of this podcast: to remind us again and again that it is Jesus who heals, who cleanses, who renews. He never stops reaching out in mercy. And as we experience this new life, we're invited to live in the Spirit, to abide with him, and to let our own lives become testimonies—just like the leper—of what God has done by his grace, for us and for the whole world. Let us live in the newness of what Jesus is doing. Let his compassion and transforming life flow through us, and may we spread that good news, letting the world see the love that reaches out and makes us whole. That's my prayer for my own heart, for my loved ones, and for you today. 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 ...

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 February 21st episode of the Daily Radio Bible! Today, Hunter and Heather invite you to journey with them through day 52 of their one-year trek through the scriptures. Together, they reflect on passages from Numbers 8 and 9, and Acts 28—exploring how the ancient rituals of the Israelites, the journey of the Levites, and Paul's final days in Rome all point us toward the life and love found in Christ. This episode is a gentle, thoughtful reminder to read scripture with our eyes on Jesus—the one who leads us in love, forgiveness, and hope. You'll hear profound prayers, practical encouragement for daily life, and a closing challenge to let your own story become a fresh chapter in God's ongoing work in the world. Whether you're new to the podcast or a daily listener, today's episode will encourage you to draw near, keeping your heart open to the transforming message of the kingdom of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The message cannot be arrested. Hunter reminds us, as we come to the close of Acts, that though Paul is finally in Rome under house arrest, the true message—this proclamation of the kingdom of God—will not be stopped. The story of Acts doesn't end with Paul's death; the message lives on, reaching beyond Nero and all the powers of this world. The heart of the gospel, the central announcement through Paul, is the kingdom of God, evidenced and heralded by Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah, the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jesus is the King of Kings, heir to David's throne, the one through whom all nations find salvation and hope. Hunter highlights that this kingdom comes in surprising ways. Not by force, not by might, but through the Spirit, through the defeat of sin, death, and the grave on the cross. The victory that Jesus has won becomes the foundation for a new kind of life—a life that is filled with freedom, love, and transformation. The story doesn't end with Paul. The story moves forward—a story of men and women liberated, stepping into the life they were made for. Now, as we finish Acts, Hunter calls us to imagine ourselves stepping into "chapter 29"—the new chapter of God's story continuing through us. The victory and love of Christ are still advancing in the world through ordinary people, reclaiming all things for God, inviting us to embody and proclaim the message of the kingdom. It is a call to step into the reality of what God has done—into a life marked by victory, joy, and love. That is the prayer for our own souls, for our families, for you. That we will live as citizens of this kingdom, proclaiming and participating in the unstoppable, liberating love of Christ. 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 ...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In this heartfelt episode for February 20th, Hunter invites us on day 51 of our journey through the Scriptures, drawing us into readings from Numbers 7, Psalm 23, and Acts 27. Together, we witness the dedication of the altar in Israel's wilderness, find comfort in the beloved words of David declaring, "The Lord is my shepherd," and weather turbulent seas alongside Paul as he sails toward Rome. Through these passages, Hunter masterfully weaves reflections on the storms we all face—reminding us how Jesus, greater than Jonah, enters into our deepest struggles to guide us safely through. As always, the episode closes with beautiful prayers, an affirmation of your priceless worth to God, and an encouragement to carry forward in joy. Join us for a time of renewal, hope, and reassurance that you are truly loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is greater than the storm. I love stories of the sea—ships in peril, stories of struggling to survive the storms. The Bible provides some good ones too. There's the story of Jonah, and then there's this story today with Paul. The parallels we find with the great stories of survival at sea and our own life are amazing. Do you remember when Jonah was on board and was in the storm? He said, "Throw me into the sea and it will become calm again. I know that this terrible storm is all my fault." Jonah knew the only way the crew could save themselves was to throw him in the sea to be drowned. Then things would be calm again and they would survive. And later on, when Jesus came, he said, now someone greater than Jonah is here. What's he saying? He's saying that there's a great storm on the way for each of us. In fact, we don't get through this life without experiencing that storm. And we won't survive unless someone far greater than Jonah throws himself into the waves for us. It's the ultimate storm, and Jesus is the Someone who is greater—he has thrown himself into the wind and waves and sunk beneath the ocean depths for us. He's offered up his body to the waves so that we might survive. Not only that, but many of us have sunk to the very bottom, and when we do, we can see him there. He meets us there. In fact, he's been with us all along. He doesn't abandon us. He's always and forever with us, no matter where we are. Whenever I hear of survival at sea, I think about what Jesus has done for us. My hope is that when I go through storms in life—and I do, and I have—and the seas look ominous and threatening, I'll remember that He is with me right where I am. You can trust Him to see you through the storms of this life. I'll trust Him not only to be my salvation when I die, but right here, right now. That's a prayer that I have for you. May you see Jesus and trust in what He has done, and live in his resurrection life right now. 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.

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, join your host Hunter as he guides us through powerful readings from Numbers 5 and 6, Psalm 22, and Acts 26. We're reminded of how the scriptures tell a story that points us to Jesus—the one in whom we live, move, and have our being. As we reflect on the journey of Paul and the "sober truth" of Christ's resurrection, Hunter encourages us to embrace true freedom and live unchained by our past or self-righteousness. Together, we'll spend time in scripture, prayer, and gratitude for a community that gathers daily to share in God's word. So, grab your Bible and let's step into another day of joy, peace, and the reminder that you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It seems crazy to everyone, but Paul is speaking the sober truth. To most people, the idea of a dead man being raised to life seems crazy. But Paul says, why does it seem so incredible that God can raise the dead? To Paul, this is the sober truth. There's nothing crazy about it. And when we believe in this sober truth and trust the risen Christ, he sets us free from the inside out. So Paul the prisoner stands before this crowd and says, I pray to God that both you and everyone here in this audience might become the same as I am—except for these chains. He has chains, but he is the freest man there. The irony is that at the end of this speech, Agrippa and Festus and all the others walk away, and their final comment is, "He could have been set free if he hadn't appealed to Caesar." Unfortunately, they weren't sober-minded and couldn't see that the freest man among them was Paul. He had been freed of the guilt of his former life where he had overseen the death of Christians and had persecuted Christ himself. He had been freed from the self-righteousness that blindly led him to that kind of life. He may have been in chains, but Paul was sober and free. Through the resurrection, you have been included in the sober, free life of God. Live a sober and free life. Don't let religion come in and entangle. Don't let your past come in and chain you up anymore. Live like Paul in the reality of what is—what is true about all that God has done in Christ, not only for you but for the whole world. You are sober and you are free. Live in it. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul this very day. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son this very day. And that's a prayer that I have for you this very day. 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 February 18th, 2026 episode of the Daily Radio Bible! On today's journey, Hunter invites listeners to gather around the "fires of His presence" as we continue our daily exploration of the Scriptures. We find ourselves in Numbers chapters 3 and 4, where the unique roles of the Levites are highlighted and God's heart for worship and sacred service is revealed. The reading then moves to Acts 25, where we witness Paul boldly defend his faith before Roman and Jewish leaders, sparking profound questions about the difference between a dead religion and a living relationship with Christ. As you listen, you'll be encouraged to reflect—does faith make sense if it's just about rules and history, or is it only truly understood when we encounter the living Christ? Hunter offers prayers for God's guidance and peace over your day, gently reminding us that we are deeply known and loved. As winter gives way to brighter days and the season of Lent draws near, today's episode is an invitation to take every step with hope, prayer, and a heart open to God's transforming love. So grab a warm drink, maybe take a walk if you can, and join this global community in Scripture, prayer, and gratitude—always remembering, as Hunter beautifully says, that you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It makes no sense. That's what Felix, the Roman official, thought as Paul stood before him on trial. The matter seemed confusing—"something about their religion and a dead man named Jesus who Paul insists is alive." Why would someone risk everything, suffer, even face death, for what looks like just a dead religion? It's not logical—unless you've met the Living Christ. Paul, too, once thought this Jesus movement made no sense. In fact, he did more than doubt; he saw it as a threat and fought to destroy it. But all that changed on the Damascus Road, when Paul encountered Jesus himself—alive, risen. His life was turned upside down, and everything that once seemed foolish suddenly became the very logic of his existence. It's the same for us. Unless we encounter the Risen Christ, faith can seem confusing and pointless, especially when life feels dark or when the world leads us into suffering or confusion. But when we meet the One who has conquered death, who knows us and loves us, it all begins to make sense. Life's suffering and confusion find meaning in Him. The invitation today is to stop hiding, to stop running, and simply be present with this Living Christ. You are known and loved. As you sit honestly before Him, let Him reveal His heart to you. Only then—when we open ourselves to truly know Him—do things begin to make sense. We see that life isn't about following a dead man, but about living in relationship with the Risen Lord. And when that happens, even the storms and sufferings of life, though still painful, become a part of a greater story—His story. 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.

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! On this episode, your host Hunter invites listeners into a fresh section of Scripture, marking the 17th day of February and day 48 of the Bible journey. We begin exploring the book of Numbers, delving into the census of Israel's tribes and their careful organization as a community poised for movement and purpose. Alongside Numbers, Hunter guides us through Acts 24, where Paul's resilience and obedience are highlighted as he waits in prison, trusting God's plan even in times of stillness. Throughout the episode, Hunter reflects on the significance of being counted among God's people—whether marching forward or staying put—and connects these readings to our own growth, endurance, and awakening to Christ's life within us. To close, we join together in prayers rooted in scripture and tradition, seeking God's peace, guidance, and love in our daily lives. If you're ready for encouragement, perspective, and a reminder that you are loved, this episode sets the tone for another meaningful day in your Bible journey. TODAY'S DEVOTION: All are accounted for, all 603,550. These are all the troops of Israel listed by their family names. All are warriors ready for battle, ready to march out under the banner of their family name. They are ready to follow the Ark of God's covenant and go wherever God's Spirit leads them. And so it is with Paul too. Solitary Paul is accounted for every day for two years in his prison cell. Paul too is a kind of soldier, ready to go wherever the Spirit of God leads him. But sometimes God's leading is not to go anywhere at all. Sometimes God's calling you to march forward into new lands. Sometimes it's to stay put. For Paul, he was to stay put for two years in prison. For two years, he was brought before his captor and forced to present himself, only to be sent away. No changes to his status. Sometimes your orders are just to stay put, and when they are, it can be discouraging and hard. It's important to remember that waiting is a part of God's plan too. James 1:2-4 says, dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow. For when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. Sometimes God's doing a work on the soldier, and sometimes that means staying put. It might be two days, it might be two years, it might be two decades, but God's got a plan, and part of that plan is to work on us. He's making an opportunity for us to grow, and our growth comes from tested endurance. When that endurance is being tested, it's an opportunity for great joy. Remember that you are a soldier too, and remember that God has a plan. A big part of God's plan is awakening us to the transforming power of Christ's life in us. That's what gives us the strength to do those hard things like staying put or marching forward. It's only in the power of Christ in us that we can do any of the things he calls us to do. So allow the Spirit of God to wake you up to the life of Christ in you. It's his life now. All glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. And that's a prayer that I have for my own soul, that I'll wake up to the life of Christ in me. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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...

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.
