TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast for January 14th, 2026! In today's episode, Hunter invites us to journey together through some pivotal passages in the Bible, starting with dramatic events in Genesis—where betrayal, family conflict, and God's unwavering faithfulness take center stage. We witness the aftermath of Dinah's tragic story, Jacob's return to Bethel, God's renewed covenant, and the legacy of Esau's descendants. Then, we turn to the Gospel of Luke, where Jesus challenges religious pride, encourages humility, and invites everyone—especially the overlooked—to God's grand banquet. Along the way, Hunter reflects on how these stories point us toward the transforming love and grace of Jesus, reminding us that we're called to lay aside our pride, embrace God's invitations, and live with self-giving love. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers and encouragement to walk in humility, gratitude, and the assurance that we are deeply loved. So grab your Bible, open your heart, and let's step into today's reading and reflection together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Our arrogance and pride will inevitably put us at the head of the table. And putting ourselves at the head of the table will inevitably lead to our humiliation and our ruin. That's what this Pharisee and these teachings in Luke 14 point out. And inevitably, when we make this life about us, we miss out altogether on the party that God has prepared. That's what it seems to tell us here in this parable of the banquet. There's nothing wrong with having land or oxen, having a wife. There's nothing bad about these things. These are blessings. These are—these are and can be very good. But when they become ultimate things, they blind us to the gift that God is offering us. Because they become idols. And idols inevitably blind us. They fool us into thinking that we are the main character in this movie, that this life is my project, it's my story. We imagine that we sit at the head of the table in our own movie. Our spouse, our parents, our children—they are the supporting cast. We can begin to think that maybe it's all about us. And this posture in life will lead to a rude awakening someday. That's why Jesus says that we have to hate all of it in comparison to our love for God, because in the end, it will rob us of life. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see the richness and the reward, the party that has been prepared for those who receive and participate, who repent and believe that every good and perfect gift comes down from God, the Father of Lights, that he is the Source, and that every human being, no matter how humble they might be, have been invited into his very life. The prayer of my own soul is that I will sit there at the foot of the table with great joy at the life that I have in him; that I will learn the ways of self-giving love and follow him. 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.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the January 13th episode of the Daily Radio Bible. Today, Hunter and Heather continue guiding us through our year-long journey in the Scriptures, marking day 13 of our reading plan. In this episode, we step into the stories of Genesis chapters 31–33, witnessing Jacob's struggles and transformation, before turning to the teachings of Jesus in Luke 13. We reflect on how seasons of uncertainty, hardship, and joy invite moments of divine revelation—epiphanies that open our eyes to God's presence and purpose in our lives. Through Jacob's journey, we see what it means to walk by faith, empty ourselves, and wrestle with God, ultimately finding ourselves changed and ready to embrace a new future. In Luke, Jesus' parables and healings remind us that even the smallest act of faith—like a mustard seed—can reveal God's grandeur. Join Hunter and Heather as they lead us in scripture, prayer, and reflection, reminding us that togetherness and God's love are at the heart of our walk of faith. Whether this is your first day or you've been with us from the beginning, you're invited to journey deeper into the story and discover that you are truly loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: A walking stick and a mustard seed. Have you ever thought about what God can do with something small, something seemingly insignificant? In today's reading, Hunter points us to Jacob, a man who left home with nothing but a walking stick. Yet by God's faithfulness, he returned with more than he could have imagined. In the same breath, Jesus describes the kingdom of God as a mustard seed—so tiny at first that you can easily overlook it, but once planted, it grows into the largest of all the garden plants. A walking stick and a mustard seed—both are symbols of faith, reminders that God delights in showing his greatness through what is humble and small, revealing his strength through what is weak. The journey of faith is not always triumphant in the ways we expect. It can often feel more like a wrestling match than a victory march. You'll wrestle—with your flesh, with your past, with the uncertainty ahead. There are hidden idols, hidden fears, secret shames—things that our earthly fathers can't see but our heavenly Father does. In the end, we must let them go. This life with God is a wrestling match above all with God himself. When we truly wrestle with him, we are changed—marked by the encounter. There may be a limp, a hitch in our step, a reminder that walking with God is not about our own strength, but about being emptied—so that Christ may live within us. Just as Jacob emptied himself, sending everything he had across the river, facing the night all alone—so, too, are we called, at times, to empty ourselves, to surrender, to cling desperately to God's blessing. It's in that emptiness, in surrender, where we receive a new name. Jacob became Israel. We, too, are promised a new identity, a new future, a new hope. Let him lead you across that river into what he has promised. Don't despise small beginnings or fear your frailty. When we are weak, he is strong. When our hands are empty, he fills them. And in wrestling, surrender, and faith, he makes us new. 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. Let us walk by faith, embracing the weakness and the smallness, knowing that God is in them and will show his strength through us. May we, too, be changed by meeting him face to face. 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.

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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, recorded on January 12th, 2026, Hunter invites us to spend time together in the scriptures, guiding us through Genesis chapters 29 and 30 as well as Luke chapter 12. Together, we witness the stories of Jacob, Rachel, and Leah—their longing, striving, and ultimately, the ways God's blessing breaks into their lives not through their own efforts, but by His grace. As we move into the teachings of Jesus, Hunter reflects on the power of a rich relationship with God, urging us to seek His blessing instead of relying on our own striving or the approval of others. Through prayer and thoughtful meditation, this episode reminds us that God cares deeply for each of us, just as He provides for sparrows and lilies. Join us for a time of reading, reflection, and prayer, and let the peace and joy of God's presence become your strength for today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: Whose blessing will you see and receive? In today's readings, we're confronted with an important question: will you force things and be a fool, or will you trust, rest, receive, and believe? There's this invitation to examine whose blessing we're truly seeking. Is it our own, through striving and scheming like Jacob, Rachel, and Leah? Or is it, as Jesus tells us, the blessing that comes from God—a blessing that leads to a rich relationship with him? The rich fool in Jesus' parable thought that security and blessing came from his own plans, his bigger barns, from storing up for himself and relying on his own resources. But Jesus reminds us, as he does his disciples, that blessing doesn't come from our hands; it comes from God's. When we seek blessing elsewhere—whether in possessions, in the approval of others, or our own ability to manipulate circumstances—we end up empty, left wanting and still searching. In the end, it's only God who can give us the true inheritance, the true blessing our souls crave. Jesus invites us away from anxious striving and fear. He says, "Look at the ravens… look at the lilies." He points to the way God provides for what he has made, how much more for us. The real blessing is not in the abundance of things, but in a rich relationship with God—a life lived trusting his love, resting in his care, and seeking the kingdom above all else. And so the call for us today is simple, but profound: let us seek his blessing by faith. Let's rest in the deep, deep love of Jesus, believing the good news that, in him, we have been embraced, forgiven, and made God's own. When we live in this reality, that blessing begins to look like a life of peace, joy, and trust—a rich relationship with the Lord who loves us. 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, dated January 11th, Hunter, your Bible Reading Coach and brother, guides us through a rich journey in Scripture, diving into Genesis chapters 27 and 28, Psalm 4, and Luke chapter 11. As always, Hunter invites us to keep things simple: spending time in God's Word, letting it shape and transform us, with the ultimate goal of experiencing the love of Jesus. This episode traces the dramatic story of Jacob and Esau, the struggle for blessing and birthright, and God's faithfulness in Jacob's life—even as he journeys away from home. We hear David's cry for help in Psalm 4, and receive Jesus' wisdom in Luke, including His teaching on prayer, the goodness of God as our Father, warnings against religious hypocrisy, and encouragement to seek God persistently. Through heartfelt reflections, Hunter challenges the lies of separation and legalism, pointing us to a God who is close, present, and loving—not distant or angry. The episode closes with prayer, practical encouragement, and an invitation to deeper engagement with Scripture every day. So, whether you're new or a longtime listener, settle in and let today's Scriptures and reflections draw you closer to Jesus—the One who offers unconditional love and the gift of Himself, the Holy Spirit. Let's walk together, step by step, in this daily journey of faith! TODAY'S DEVOTION: He's angry. These teachers are a bunch of fakes. He's angry because these teachers of His Word ought to be offering people something real, something true. He's angry because they're a bunch of religious, self-righteous, self-serving hypocrites, and Jesus is none too happy about it. They're telling lies about God, and the main one is a lie of separation. God is separate, he's distant, and he's angry. He's angry until you perform the right religious duties, until you wash your hands the right way, until you wash your cup in just the right way, until you give the right amount of everything that you own in just the right way. Even the herbs in your garden and a thousand other things like this were all used as a way of ensuring that you knew that God was separate from you, that he was angry with you. And this message of separation served these guys well. They leveraged it for coercion and control, for power, prestige, and money. They used this lie to become important in the eyes of those with power. They liked to walk around with their flowing robes in the marketplaces. They liked when important people, powerful people, recognized them and honored them. All the while the people suffer. Jesus looked at this and declared it hogwash. He called them hypocrites, snakes, vipers. In effect, Jesus says, you say that you speak for God, but you don't know God. If you knew God, you would know his justice, not yours, which is so rarely just. You would know his love—his love which declares that God is not separate. Rather, God is here. He is with us, and God is for all people. He is wanting his people and his priests who use his name to tell the truth, to demonstrate the love and justice of God, to live in the reality of the God who is with us, the God who is their present king, because it's true and the world so desperately needs it. If you read the Bible and you're left with a God who is separate, distant, petty, and angry, more concerned with how much turmeric you tithe than he is about you loving your neighbor and knowing that you are loved, then you've been sold a lie and you have completely missed the point of who he is. Because the point of his word is to show us that God is for us, not against us. That God is good. That God is not petty, but abounding in grace and mercy. That God is present and he is full of love. This was the message of all the prophets. God. God is with you, people. Wake up. Wake up to the God who is with you. He's angry that religion has become a way to crush people's spirits with unbearable religious demands rather than something that sets them free and makes them new. Jesus begins this reading in Luke by telling us that God is something completely different than what the Pharisees are selling. Jesus says God's not like that. God is good. When you ask him for good things, he doesn't give you scorpions and snakes. He's a good father. Don't let circumstances and the seeming delay in God's response to your need dissuade you from the truth of his kindness. Like the man who's knocking and seeking and asking for bread, God comes through. So keep asking, keep knocking, keep seeking. God's not angry with you. Don't let others or the circumstances prevent you from knowing the kind of father that you really have. Your Father knows what it's like to give his children good gifts. Earthly fathers know what it's like to do that. How much more will our good Father give good gifts if we ask for them? Jesus is angry at the evil in this world that keeps people from knowing and experiencing his loving kindness. God's not angry with you. What's the gift the good Father is giving? He's giving himself. He's giving the Holy Spirit. How much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him? He is offering himself to be with us and in us. Pray that God will renew your mind so that you will no longer see your Father as separate from you and angry with you, but rather as good and kind. He wants to give you everything. May your soul, may my soul, may we know this well today. That's my prayer. 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 injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, join your host and Bible reading coach, Hunter, as we journey together through Genesis 25–26, Psalm 6, and Luke 10. Whether you're brand new or a longtime listener, today's readings invite us to discover the transformative power of scripture—reminding us that more than anything, our greatest hope is to truly know that God is with us, and that God is love. As we encounter the stories of Abraham's descendants, listen to David's honest cries in Psalm 6, and hear Jesus send out the 72 disciples in Luke, Hunter unpacks the "secret" that fills Christ and the Father with joy: the invitation to live a "with God" life anchored in Jesus' name—not in our own strength or resources, but in the blessing of His presence. Through personal reflection and heartfelt prayer, Hunter encourages us to rest in this joyful, transforming truth and to let it shape our everyday lives. So, settle in for a thoughtful time of Bible reading, prayer, and encouragement—a time to invest in your soul and be reminded that, above all else, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus is telling a secret, and he is thrilled at the thought of it. In Luke 10, verse 21, we find Jesus filled with joy through the Holy Spirit, saying, "O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and revealing them to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way." This secret fills both the Father and the Son with great joy. So what is this secret? The secret is Jesus himself. He is the way to God, the way to life. He is what every heart is looking for. Jesus is the King, and he is proclaiming the kingdom. Jesus is the secret to it all. It's not the law, not traditions or piety, but living in the name, the power, and the presence of God. The God who is with us and for us. When Jesus sends out the 72, notice he tells them not to take anything with them—no bag, no money, no staff, nothing but his name. The only thing they are equipped with is the name of Jesus. The "with God life" isn't about our resources, our money, our provisions, but only about him. They are to go with his name, his message, his blessing, and his presence to the world. This is the "with God life"—a life of utter reliance on God, of being available to his presence and his agenda. When we allow him to lead, we end up fulfilling the law, becoming people of mercy, like the Good Samaritan. We participate with Christ; his power works in and through us. We're not the hero—Christ in us is. That's the secret: his presence in you, which Paul says is your hope of glory. Let's live in the reality of Christ in us. Let's awaken to the wonder of stepping out into the day simply in his name—not striving, not pushing or fretting, but knowing our real life is hidden with God in Christ. Our truest self is found in learning more and more to love God, our neighbor, and ourselves. Today, walk with him, eyes and ears wide open to his presence in you. Let him lead, and let him fill you with his joy. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, for my daughters, for 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.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

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 another episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the Scriptures, one day at a time. On this ninth day of January, Hunter invites us into a time of reflection and prayer as we read selections from Genesis 23-24 and Luke 9. In today's episode, we witness Abraham's faith and God's providence in the search for Isaac's wife, uncovering the beauty of trust and obedience. Then, as we move into Luke, we see Jesus empowering his disciples, feeding the multitudes, and revealing the transformative message of the Kingdom of God. Hunter reminds us that the heart of Jesus' teaching—through miracles, parables, and sacrifice—is the invitation to become citizens of this Kingdom, marked by reconciliation, joy, and abiding love. Join us as we open our hearts to receive these words, pray together for ourselves, our families, and the world, and step forward in the joyful assurance that we are deeply loved. Settle in and let this time feed your soul and guide your steps as we continue this daily walk in God's presence. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He makes us citizens of his kingdom. What do you think the prevailing message of Jesus is? You would think that'd be a pretty easy question to answer. But I'm guessing that in a room full of people, there'd be many different kinds of answers to that question. But in Luke 9, as well as throughout the Gospels and in the Book of Acts, we're told many times very plainly what that message is. The central prevailing message of the Bible and of Jesus is the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is here and the king is Jesus. And this king has come to reconcile the world to God. His rule and authority are being made known wherever he goes. He uses that in the feeding of the multitudes, the healing of the demon possessed, the opening up of the eyes of the blind, the healing of the lame, those who can't speak and hear. He is the king. And wherever he goes, the kingdom is showing up. Citizenship in this kingdom is being made available to ordinary people. His life is being offered and extended to the whole world, to us broken folks. And the good news of that kingdom is that God has made a way through Christ to reconcile us, to make us new, to make us citizens and bring us under his rule and reign, to make us his. By his death on the cross, he has reconciled us to himself. And now by the Spirit of God, he has empowered us to manifest his kingdom life, to live it out, the very life of his Son. As Jesus walks with us through our life, the kingdom shows up. The result of his kingdom life in us is freedom, joy, love, the fruit of the Spirit. And when we do that, we are set free. We're set free from our past, our regrets, our shame. And we live in the joy of forgiveness and our adoption and inclusion in the very life and love of God. The one sitting on the throne said, look, I'm making everything new, everything. And we see it wherever Jesus goes. There is power in the King. There's power in his abiding life with us. And this king has made you his own. You are a citizen and he is your king. Let us live as citizens of the kingdom of God. Let us embrace this message of the abiding and saving life, the reconciling life of Christ. Let us be ambassadors of this message of our great King. Let's tell people that they have been reconciled in Christ. See it, believe it, repent, change your mind and step into the life that is yours. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my own 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. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image.

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, Hunter guides us through Genesis 20–22 and Luke 8, continuing our one-year journey through the Bible. But this isn't just about reading Scripture—it's about letting the living Word transform us from the inside out. As we witness the faith and testing of Abraham, the miraculous provision of God, and the powerful teachings and healings of Jesus, we're invited to see the goodness and faithfulness of God in fresh ways. Hunter reflects deeply on Abraham's incredible journey—his obedience, trust, and understanding of God's unique character as a provider, not a demander of senseless sacrifice. We're reminded that God meets us in our darkest and most barren places, and He is not like the other gods of the world. Instead, He is a God of life, love, and redemption. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers, seeking God's guidance, provision, and peace for ourselves, our families, and the world. Join us as we open our hearts to be changed by the Word, walking together in faith, hope, and the knowledge that we are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Unthinkable. Something unthinkable is being asked of Abraham. He is being asked to offer his one and only son, the son that he loves, as a sacrifice on the mountain. It is a test of obedience that, at first glance, seems unimaginable. But perhaps, in Abraham's world, it was not altogether unthinkable. The cultures surrounding him, and indeed, cultures throughout history, have at times required the blood of a human to appease or manipulate their gods. Abraham would have known these stories and expectations. But he also knew something else—the God who called him, who promised him a son even in extreme old age, who reminded him of blessings as countless as the stars. This God who walked with Abraham in his darkest, most barren moments was not like any of the others. Abraham had learned to walk with and trust God, and he believed that this God was not bloodthirsty or capricious, nor distant or angry and waiting to pounce. Abraham believed God was good—the God who meets us in our need, our shame, our barren places, the God who provides. On that mountain, God makes Himself known as Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. He is not a God who requires us to atone by our own blood, or by the blood of those we love. No, God has a different way. Instead, it is He who provides the offering. The Father does not kill His Son—instead, the Son offers Himself, and is killed by humanity. Through His offering, He overcomes evil, wins the victory for us, conquering sin and darkness, and making a way for us to live. Abraham reasoned that, even if Isaac died, God was able to revive him—because Abraham knew, at the core, that God is good and can be trusted with our very lives. That knowledge—the character of God—changes everything. God comes to us in our lowest, most hopeless places, and brings resurrection, new life. On Mount Moriah, and then on the cross, God Himself provides what we cannot. He gives us victory, healing, hope. My prayer today is that my eyes would open to see as Abraham saw: the character of our God who provides, who is trustworthy, who is good. That I would walk with Him and know the freedom, the life, and the joy of being loved and provided for by Him. And 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.

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.

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 for January 7th, Hunter invites us to journey through Genesis 18-19, Psalm 3, and Luke 7, as we continue our year-long walk through the Scriptures. Hunter reflects on themes of faith, God's transforming love, and the power of forgiveness, drawing from the lives of Abraham, Sarah, Lot, and the stories of Jesus' miracles and encounters. You'll hear powerful prayers, thoughtful encouragement, and an honest look at what it means to trust God's plan—even when life is confusing or difficult. Whether you're new to the Daily Radio Bible community or a longtime listener, this episode is full of heartfelt wisdom, biblical readings, and an invitation to experience God's healing presence. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's discover together what God is saying to us today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Are you wondering about God's plan? Maybe, like John sitting in prison, you feel forgotten or overlooked. You might have been obedient, zealous—done all that God has asked of you—yet circumstances haven't gone the way you would have hoped. Maybe you wonder, "Why isn't God showing up for me? Why isn't He bailing me out?" That's where John the Baptist found himself—hearing stories of Jesus healing Gentiles, raising the dead, and still waiting for God to act in his own life. He sends friends to Jesus and asks, "Are you the one? Are you the plan, or should we wait for someone else?" And Jesus' reply comes back: Yes, I am the plan! Just look—the blind see, lepers are healed, the deaf hear, and the good news is preached to the poor. Jesus' answer is to point to what God is doing, to the evidence of the kingdom breaking in. He says, don't turn away in disbelief. Don't believe the lie that God is holding back, that He is vindictive, petty, or unconcerned about you. That is never the truth. The truth is seen completely in the face of Jesus. God is not against us. He's not withholding. He is with us—abiding, forgiving, loving, liberating. He is healing our brokenness, opening our eyes, restoring us to new life. He is the plan for mending this broken world. He is the plan for mending your broken world, your broken heart. Don't let your circumstances turn you away from believing in Him. Remember the woman who comes to Jesus despite her shame, her reputation, her circumstances. She lets nothing stand in her way—her pride, her ego, her social standing—because her eyes are fixed on Jesus, her eyes have been opened to the truth: she is forgiven, known, loved, and embraced. In knowing this, she holds onto this truth and lives in the joy and freedom that Christ brings. May our prayer be that we will also have eyes like hers—eyes fixed on Jesus, God's plan—not looking for another, but finding everything we need in Him. May we know in Him everything there is to know about God and about who we really are. May we be set free and know His joy. That's a prayer for my own soul, for my family, and 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.
