    TODAY'S DEVOTION:

    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.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! On this October 18th episode, join your host, Hunter, and contributor, Heather, as we continue our journey through the Scriptures together. Today, we dive into the heart-wrenching story of Job—his lament and the counsel he receives in the midst of suffering—followed by the powerful accounts from Acts where the gospel spreads like wildfire. Witness Saul’s dramatic transformation on the road to Damascus, the joy brought to Samaria through Philip’s ministry, and miracles of healing and new life as the early church grows. Through heartfelt readings, prayers, and reflections, Hunter reminds us that God’s love is being multiplied worldwide, inviting even outsiders, enemies, the hurting, and the hopeful into the fullness of Christ’s life. This episode is about awakening to God’s transforming grace and learning how we, too, can become vessels of peace and love in our everyday lives. So settle in, open your ears and heart, and let’s journey together—discovering comfort, perspective, and encouragement from the living Word of God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's happening. Enemies, foreigners, the blind and the deaf are all hearing and receiving the message of Christ’s life. His life is being multiplied into the lives of all these people. Jesus—his message is spreading out into all the earth: down to Ethiopia, up to Damascus, onto Tarsus. The Spirit and life of Christ is moving out like never before. John wrote, “I tell you the truth. Unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels, a plentiful harvest of new lives.” He was that grain of wheat who fell to the ground on our behalf, out of love for you and me. And because he did this great work, now we have been included in the very life that he shares with his Father and the Spirit. People like us—and people not like us. Enemies, foreigners, the deaf, the blind, and even the dead—are all being included in this life that Christ has come to give. He’s making all things new. The world is being transformed by what he has done. And now, one person at a time, people are being awakened. Their eyes are being opened, the scales are coming off—just like Saul. Now they can see who Jesus is, what he has done, and how deeply loved they are. And not just them, but every human being. The power to experience change is being given. The power to be transformed is being offered. Ask God to give you eyes to see, a heart to understand, that you’re included too—that you can participate and be fully alive and available to whatever he wants for you, whatever he desires to do through you. Ask him to make you a vessel of this life, so that you bring his peace, his hope, his love into this world, even 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, 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...

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today’s episode, recorded on October 17th, 2025, Hunter—your host and Bible reading coach—guides us through a profound journey in scripture, exploring the beginnings of the book of Job (chapters 1 and 2) and continuing through the impactful story found in Acts chapters 6 and 7. Hunter opens with a warm greeting and a reminder of God's promise for abundant life through Jesus. Together, we witness Job's world being stripped away and unravelled, yet his unwavering faith becomes a testament to spiritual endurance and the comfort of God's presence, even in silence. In Acts, the story of Stephen unfolds—his faith, wisdom, and courage shine as he faces accusations, delivers a passionate speech recounting Israel's history, and ultimately forgives his persecutors in the midst of suffering. This episode draws us toward the heart of God, who sits with us in our grief and restores us, embodying co-suffering love through Jesus. Hunter wraps up with prayers for peace, perspective, and thanksgiving, encouraging us to allow God to elevate our perspective and fill us with His joy. So, settle in as we reflect on endurance, grace, and new perspectives—discovering the reminder that through it all, you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He comes to sit with us in our suffering. As we open the book of Job today, we are invited into the depths of pain, loss, and silent grief. Job, a man of integrity, is plunged into unimaginable suffering as all is taken from him – his family, his wealth, his health. He is undone, stripped bare, descending into a silence that is "too deep for words.” His friends come and sit with him, not offering answers, but sharing in his sorrow, simply being present in his suffering. Yet the story goes deeper. Job’s pain and silence point beyond his own experience to something profoundly divine. Even though we don’t see it yet in the story, God Himself has come to sit with Job, too. This is the remarkable message of the Bible: that God does not remain distant from our suffering; He draws near. Not as one seeking to offer easy answers or to blame, like Job’s friends, but as One who fully identifies with our pain. In His silence and presence, God sits in the midst of all the suffering and darkness. Job’s story points us to Jesus, the One who steps into the depths of humanity’s pain. Jesus comes and puts on flesh to sit with us, bearing all our suffering in His own body. He abolishes death, sin, and the grave through His co-suffering love. He restores us, heals us, and renews the very nature of humanity in Himself. Here in Job’s story, we are given a picture of the God who comes and sits with us, right where we are, just as we are. In Jesus, God enters into the brokenness and offers Himself for us. He does not promise that life will be free from hardship, but He does promise His presence – presence so deep and abiding that even in our silence and sorrow, we are not alone. May we see in Job the God who draws near in our darkest hours, who sits with us in our pain, and who restores us to life. May we recognize Jesus, who tasted death for all, and offers comfort for every broken heart. That’s the prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the 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.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this October 16th episode, Hunter invites us to spend some quiet moments journeying through the Scriptures together. Today, we’ll dive into Malachi chapters 3 and 4, Psalm 148, and Acts chapter 5, discovering how each passage points us towards the living Word—Jesus, who offers true, abundant life. As we listen, Hunter reflects on the heart of the gospel: it’s not about politics or divisions, but simply about life—life found in Christ, here and now. Together, we’ll be reminded to walk in the peace, love, and hope that only He can give, and pray for hearts ready to both receive and share that life with the world around us. Join us as we nurture our souls and strengthen our resolve to live as vessels of God’s peace today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The message is life. Jerusalem is burning with the message, and these men cannot be stopped. What is this message? It is not about politics or agendas—it is life itself. The angel’s word to the apostles is clear: “Go to the temple and give the people this message of life.” That’s it. This is the gospel, the good news: Christ is here, now, offering life—abundant, full, real. Too often, we complicate it. We think it’s all about where we stand, who’s in, who’s out, the lines we draw, the causes we fight. But the true message Jesus gives is far simpler and deeper than debate—it’s life offered to all who will say yes to him, life not just in the hereafter, but life here and now. In John’s gospel, Jesus says he came that we may have life and have it to the fullest. This is what we are meant for. This is what the world is longing for: the life of Christ, living and moving within us. So, today, let’s agree with God. Let’s step into this message, let’s stay in step with him who is life. As we walk with Jesus, we walk in life and abundance, peace and hope—what our souls most need, what our families most need, what our world is crying out for. That’s a prayer I have for my own soul. That’s a 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.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where together we journey through the Scriptures and discover the heart of God for our lives. In today’s episode, Host Hunter leads us through readings from Nehemiah 13, Malachi 1–2, and Acts 4, exploring themes of faithfulness, boldness, and the transformative power of God’s Spirit. As we witness dramatic moments like the shaking of the early church’s meeting place and the call to live lives of generosity, selflessness, and hope, we’re invited to let the Spirit shake things up in our own hearts—especially as we approach seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Join us as we pray for boldness, reflect on the meaning of true worship, and are reminded once more that every single person is deeply loved by God. Grab your Bible, settle in, and let’s step into the story together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There’s a whole lot of shaking going on. Peter and John return to their community after being interrogated and threatened for boldly declaring the name of Jesus. These men, considered ordinary and untrained, stood before powerful religious leaders and testified to the truth of Christ resurrected. And after this confrontation, after choosing faithfulness over fear, they come back to their friends—and something remarkable happens: as they pray together, the whole place is shaken. They are filled again with the Holy Spirit and preach the word of God with boldness. What does this tell us? Wherever the Spirit of God is, things get stirred up—hearts are awakened, priorities are shifted, lives are refocused away from self and toward others. This is the story of the early church, but it’s meant to be our story too. God hasn’t stopped shaking things up. When we pray for boldness, for selflessness, for generosity, God answers. He fills us with the courage to embody the hope of Christ, just like he did with those first believers. As we look ahead to a new season—the holidays, filled with hopes, distractions, and busyness—it’s time to invite God to shake things up in our own hearts. The message we carry is one of joy and peace: “Joy to the world, the Lord has come. Peace on earth, goodwill toward men. Emmanuel, God is with us.” These aren’t just sentiments to be remembered in December—they’re truths meant to be lived out, to become visible as we let God’s Spirit work through us. Let’s make this a season where we pray deeper, where we ask for boldness to declare that every single person is loved by God. May God’s joy be our strength, his Spirit our guide, and may we become heralds of hope—proclaiming with our words and our lives that Jesus is risen, that he is present, and that his kingdom life is available to all. That’s my prayer for my own soul, for my family, and for you. May God shake things up—in us, and through us. 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...

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible—your companion for this 14th day of October, as we journey together through the Bible on day 288 of the year. I’m Hunter, your host, joining you and listeners from around the world as we gather to warm our hearts by the fires of God’s love. In today’s episode, we explore Nehemiah chapters 11 and 12, delving into the resettlement of Jerusalem and the dedication of its walls with joy, song, and thanksgiving. We meditate on the wisdom of Psalm 1, reflecting on what it means to be rooted and nourished in God’s word. Then, we witness a miraculous moment in Acts 3, where Peter and John encounter a man lame from birth at the temple gate—an encounter that becomes an invitation to new life through the power of Jesus. Join me as we move beyond the gates of expectation into the fullness of God’s love and restoration. Let’s settle in, open our hearts, and discover together what God wants to show us today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He can take us beyond the beautiful gate—into life itself. The story in Acts 3 is the story of a man who sat daily outside the temple, unable to enter, always stopping just short of where life and the presence of God dwelled. He expected so little—asking only for a few coins from those passing by. Yet, when Peter and John arrive, the unexpected happens. Peter says to him, "I don't have any silver or gold for you, but I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk." And in that moment—through the living power of Christ—the man rises, not only from his physical brokenness, but beyond his limitations, into the temple, leaping and praising God. His friends couldn't get him through that gate. Moses and the prophets could not take him beyond. Our own strength and the expectations we settle for—none of it is enough to move us past the barriers that hold us back from God's life. But Jesus can. Through Peter, Jesus saw him, healed him, and took him farther than he ever imagined—past the gate, into the temple, into joy, into the life that God gives. This is the story not just for that man, but for all of us. How often do we sit outside the gates, hoping for a little relief, expecting so little, feeling stuck or limited by what we see or believe about ourselves? Yet Jesus meets us there, sees us completely, and calls us to rise—to walk with him into life, into restoration, into the fullness we were made for. He is the one who brings us in, who restores our souls, who lifts us far beyond anything we thought possible. He calls us to stand, to walk upright, to leap with joy. Let the abiding life of Christ lift you up and take you in—far past any gate, far past what you thought possible. Receive what Jesus has for you today—not just the small things you expect, but the abundance of life he gives. That's a prayer I have for my own soul, for my family, for my wife and daughters and 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...

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, we're journeying through Nehemiah chapters 9 and 10 and finishing up in Acts chapter 2. Hunter, your brother and Bible reading coach, leads us as we gather from all around the world to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love and focus on the One who has the words of life—Jesus. In this episode, we witness Israel's heartfelt confession, renewed commitment, and covenant with God as they recall His faithfulness and their history. We also step into the powerful moment of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit fills the believers and launches the early church into a new era of unity, generosity, and purpose. Hunter encourages us to receive God's ongoing work in our lives, reminding us that Jesus has succeeded—and will continue to succeed—in restoring His kingdom, not only in the lives of the apostles but in each of us today. Get ready for inspiration, encouragement, and soul care as we explore scripture together. Let's open our hearts, listen for God's voice, and remember: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He will succeed in you. That’s the message we hear echoed in today’s scripture. Jesus has accomplished all he set out to do—his resurrection, his pouring out of the Spirit, his kingdom coming among us. And yet, his work isn’t finished: he continues to restore, renew, and reign in the lives of those who call upon his name. The restoration of all things is underway, not just for those famous disciples—Peter, James, John, Mary Magdalene—but for you, too. The promise is sure: the God who began the good work within you will carry it on to completion until Christ returns. We hear in Acts 2 a picture of what it looks like when Jesus succeeds in a person’s life. People are pierced to the heart, they repent, their lives are reshaped by the Spirit—they devote themselves to teaching, to fellowship, to sharing, to prayer. There is awe and generosity, daily worship, and a deepening joy. The Spirit makes all things new. Jesus brings restoration to broken hearts, hope to the discouraged, belonging to the lonely. He is still at work, day by day, in you. So the invitation today is simple: let us see, believe, trust, and respond. Not just strive for achievement, but be open to receive. Fix your heart on the quiet work of grace, the gift of being made new through Christ, abiding in his love and peace. The hurried spirit of this world pushes us to earn, to prove, but the Spirit of God calls us to abide, to be made whole. That’s my prayer for my own soul. It’s the prayer I carry for my family—my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it is the prayer I have for you. May you see the work he is doing in you, may you believe it, and receive it. Christ will finish what he started. 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...

In this episode for October 12th, 2025, your host Hunter—along with contributors from around the globe—invites us to gather around the Scriptures and be reminded of God’s steadfast love. Journeying through Nehemiah 7 and 8, and Acts 1, Hunter reflects on the power of rediscovering God’s Word after seasons of loss, drawing parallels to a loving Father who relentlessly seeks his children. We witness the Israelites as they return from exile, hear the public reading of the Law for the first time in generations, and partake in joyous celebration as their identity and belonging in God’s story are restored. Hunter reminds us that the words of Scripture don’t just recount history—they reveal who we are and whose we are, inviting each of us to embrace the joy and strength found in God’s presence. As always, today’s episode is brimming with community greetings from listeners around the world—Quebec to Beijing—and heartfelt prayers. Hunter also shares the importance of partnership in spreading the message, celebrating everyone who helps make this daily encounter possible. Settle in, open your heart, and let the living Word kindle a deeper joy in you today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He finds what was lost. In Nehemiah, we see a remarkable occasion—not simply of a lost Bible, but of an entire people losing touch with their story, with the words that revealed who they were and who God is. After seventy years of exile, the Israelites had lost public reading of Scripture, the lifeline to their identity and God’s faithful love. When they finally heard the words of the Law read aloud, their hearts broke open with weeping. Why? Because the story was new to them—a story of a loving parent always seeking the lost child, of a God whose faithfulness was never forgotten, even during years away in captivity. These exiled people were hearing for the first time that they were loved, that they were not forgotten. Their tears flowed because everything they believed about themselves was being rewritten: they were not just survivors, but beloved children, found by a seeking Father. Nehemiah tells them, “Don’t mourn or weep…for today is a sacred day before the Lord your God.” Because this is a day of celebration—what was lost had been found, what was dead was brought back to life. Doesn’t that sound like the Gospel? The story of a loving Father who seeks and finds us, his children? There are seasons for grief, but also seasons for joy, for feasting, for sharing good things. Let your heart be warmed by the discovery that you are chosen, loved, and remembered by God. Your inclusion in his story is no accident; he has longed for you, sought you, and made you his own through his Son. Let every day be a celebration of the God who finds and the joy that is ours in him. That’s a prayer for my own soul, for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that’s a prayer I have for you. May it be so.
