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! In today’s episode, host Hunter invites us on day 108 of our journey through the Bible, drawing our attention to the living Word—Jesus. We begin with the drama of 1 Samuel 19, where David’s life is under threat from Saul, and witness Jonathan’s loyalty and God’s surprising interventions. Our reading continues through detailed genealogies and stories of faithfulness in 1 Chronicles 7, and then we pause with Psalm 59—a song David penned while fleeing danger, crying out for God’s protection and celebrating his unfailing love. The episode concludes with Jesus’ wilderness temptation in Matthew 4, showing his unwavering dependence on the Father and his victory over evil, inviting us all into union with God’s love. Hunter wraps up with thoughtful reflections, prayer, and encouragement for purposeful soul work, reminding us that transformation happens as we walk together in faith. So, settle in and let today’s Word point your heart to the One who loves you—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus is out in the desert being tempted by Satan. In the desert, he's demonstrating his union and dependence on his Father and the Spirit. On the outside, it seems that he's alone. And after forty days of no food, on the outside, it might seem that he's becoming weak. And this is the point of Satan's attack. When it appears that he is alone and weak, he challenges Jesus to break with his Father and the Spirit, to save himself, to get what he came for, to abandon the community of love that he shares with his Father and the Spirit, to take the throne of solitary and sovereign power. This, of course, is where Adam failed. He abandoned the community of love for solitary and sovereign control. And this is where you and I fail. But where we fail, Jesus will not. Seeing our need, he comes and does what we cannot. And because he overcomes, he wins for us our place back into the community of love. Jesus would not be deterred. He would overcome the temptation by demonstrating his union and utter dependence upon his Father and the Spirit. He would win these battles, and he would win the war. And because he won the war on the cross, all of humanity has been invited into God's community of love. And now he invites us to participate with him, with the Father and the Spirit, victorious with him over the evil one, ready to live a life of dependence upon God, living in the reality of our union with God in Christ. Union and communion. Victory and joy are ours. 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 another inspiring episode of the Daily Radio Bible podcast with your brother and Bible reading coach, Hunter. Today's episode takes us on a journey through the pages of scripture, starting in First Samuel 18, followed by First Chronicles 6, Psalm 11, and finishing in Matthew's Gospel chapter 3. Hunter reflects on the powerful declarations of God's love for humanity through Jesus, reminding us that we are loved and belong to God. He guides us in a moment of prayer, inviting us to seek mindfulness and divine presence in our lives. We conclude with gratitude for the partners who make this podcast possible. Join us as we continue our journey, setting intentions to live a mindful and prayerful life. Let's dive in! TODAY'S DEVOTION: This is my dearly loved son who brings me great joy. These are the first words we hear the father speak over the son. And through Christ, they are words that have been spoken over all people all over the Earth. God has declared his love for all humanity. He's declared his love for you. So here in this declaration, the heart of the father for all people everywhere, broken, lost, sinner people like you and me, Jesus comes to do all that is needed so that every man, woman, and child can be embraced into the triune love of father, son, and holy spirit. So all humanity can experience the love that is shared in the godhead. So we can be one as they are one. Hear the declaration of what is. Hear the proclamation that you are loved by god. This is not a proposition. God's love and your position as daughter, as son, is not a great opportunity for you if you believe enough or you get your act together enough. It is a declaration of what is. You are loved. You are his. And that is great news. Let's hear this declaration well today and move out into the world, learning, discovering how to live out who we have become. May God give us wisdom, and may God give us joy as we live out this gospel in him. 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.

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 back to the Daily Radio Bible podcast, where we journey together through the scriptures every day. I'm Hunter, your host, brother, and Bible reading coach, here to guide you as we dive into the wild, wonderful, and sometimes strange world of the Bible. Today, we're starting our exploration in 1 Samuel 17, where the legendary tale of David and Goliath unfolds, showcasing God's love for transforming situations and overturning odds with faith and courage. Then, we turn to Psalm 9, a heartfelt song of praise from David himself, celebrating God's justice and protection. Finally, we wrap up in Matthew 2, with the story of the wise men visiting the newborn king, and how God orchestrates events for the preservation of His son amid dangerous times. Join us as we uncover the affirmations of God's power in overcoming giants, and how these timeless lessons resonate with us today. Let's get into God's word and let it speak life into our hearts. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God seems to really enjoy reversals where the weapons of an enemy are used against the enemy himself. God has a way of reversing the supposed strength of giants to achieve his victory. Goliath stood defiantly over the people of God. This giant was not just a huge human being. He also had weapons of war. But a young man named David, God’s anointed man, had nothing other than a few smooth stones, a sling, and faith in a God who delights in reversing the strengths of the enemy into weakness. He believed in the God of reversals. So with only a few stones and a sling, God defeated this well-armed giant. The psalmist David says this over and over again. They have dug a pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. The greatest of all reversals is seen in the cross, a weapon used by the giant enemy of our souls to crucify our Lord. And yet the cross was the very instrument that won our victory from sin, death, and the grave. The cross is the greatest reversal of all. God’s in the business of reversing things, and today is a good day to remember this and rejoice in it. As on Saturday, the day before Easter, this was a dark and silent day when it looked like the giant had won. In fact, the taunts of the giant were the loudest that had ever been heard. But on Sunday, if we look carefully, we can see God’s appointed shepherd. Not a boy, but a man. And this man was far better than David. He was the rock that made men stumble, the stone that made giants fall. And he has won the victory. And because of this greatest of all reversals, people from all around the world, like you and me, broken people from every tribe and nation and tongue, can experience the power to overcome one giant after another. God brings about that great reversal for you and me on the cross. Whatever giant you’re facing can be faced today, not with swords or spears or javelins, but in the name of the Lord of heaven’s armies. 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. 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...

You are loved!

That is the message I hear everyday in this podcast. Hunter and Heather do an excellent job of walking with us through God’s word and reminding us that God wants relationship with us and that our hearts and minds can be directed toward our Savior through his word. Over the past year my heart has heard many messages of hope, love and forgiveness. I am looking forward to what God has to say to my heart this year. Thank you Hunter for being my “Bible reading coach.” I have truly been blessed.

An everyday blessing

Like you, I imagine, I was looking for a daily Bible plan. What I found was so much more. The DRB Not only goes through the Bible over the course of a year in a very smart way, but also includes a short but well thought-out discussion and a beautiful prayer. It is an excellent 20-30 minutes that you can use to start, center or end your day right. I think it could be especially helpful if you are feeling lost or unloved, and who isn’t sometimes?

Give the DRB a try, and chances are you’ll be a daily listener like me.
