TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In this episode for March 7th, Hunter invites us on day 66 of our journey through scripture. Together, we'll explore key passages from Deuteronomy 5 and 6, Psalm 43, and Mark 14. Hunter helps us reflect on the foundational moments when Moses recounts God's commandments to Israel, the psalmist's longing for God's presence, and the powerful, sobering scenes leading up to Jesus' betrayal and crucifixion. As your Bible reading coach, Hunter weaves together these texts to reveal timeless truths about God's love, human frailty, and the radical invitation to participate in Christ's self-giving, forgiving love. This episode also includes moments of guided prayer and encouragement to let God's joy be your strength in daily life. Whether you're listening at home or on the go, you'll be reassured of one thing—"You are loved, full stop." Join us and let these words of life shape your heart, renew your hope, and lead you deeper into God's story. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We are all guilty of betrayal. Peter, Judas, all the disciples—even you and I—have in common this: despite our best intentions and strongest resolves, we have fallen away, betrayed with our words, our actions, sometimes even with a kiss. Isaiah says, all we like sheep have gone astray; we've left God's path to follow our own. That's the story not just of the disciples but of humanity. Each of us has reached for that fruit of deceit, separating ourselves from the source of our life, straying in ways large and small from the One who loves us. But Jesus steps into this place of failure and separation. He takes the cup—the cup that for him means suffering and death, the cup of bitter sorrow—and he transforms it. It's a cup filled with his blood, shed for the world, for you and for me. And in that act of self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love, Jesus draws us into life. He defeats death not with violence or retribution, but with his own surrender and love. He drinks down the cup of suffering so that he might hand us the cup of life—a life that invites us to participate with him in that same self-giving, forgiving, co-suffering love. We, who have freely received, are now invited to freely give. We are called not just to receive his forgiveness, but to live out that love, to be people shaped by radical hospitality, mercy, and hope. Let's learn these ways. Let us practice the rhythm of receiving his love and sharing that love with the world. That is my prayer for myself, for my family, and for you: that together, we would enter ever more deeply into the life Christ offers—self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love—for our neighbor, our enemy, and ourselves. 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 March 6th, 2026 episode of the Daily Radio Bible with your Bible Reading Coach, Hunter. In today's journey, we come together from all corners of the world to open our hearts and minds to the pages of Scripture, seeking to be renewed and trained in the ways of Jesus—the ways of life and love. This episode features readings from Deuteronomy chapters 3 and 4, Psalm 36, and Mark chapter 13. Hunter guides us through dramatic moments in Israel's history—their victories, God's commands, and the urgent call to remain devoted. Psalm 36 offers a reflection on the unfailing love and faithfulness of God, while Mark's gospel delivers a powerful reminder from Jesus about keeping watch and staying alert, because no one knows the hour of His return. Throughout, Hunter weaves in personal stories and practical encouragements, reflecting on the active, vigilant faith Jesus calls us to. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers and a gentle invitation to engage in simple acts of connection and humanity, reminding each of us that, above all, we are loved. Settle in as we step into these sacred texts, find encouragement for our daily walk, and remember together to keep watch—faithful and awake—trusting God's enduring presence with us. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Keep watch. That's the word of Jesus to us as we move through our lives. After reading Mark 13, we hear him say: What I say to you, I say to everyone: watch. Sometimes we can imagine that keeping watch just means sitting and waiting, maybe even nodding off as the night gets long. But as Hunter reminded us with his story from the Bering Sea, keeping watch on a ship was anything but passive. It was a calling to active responsibility—alert to every course correction, faithful to look out for hidden dangers, even when things seemed still and quiet. In the spiritual life, Jesus calls us to this same kind of active attentiveness. Peter, James, John, and Andrew come to Jesus full of questions about the future: When will all things be made right? When is the kingdom coming in fullness? Jesus doesn't give them a timetable. Instead, he calls them—and us—to a posture of vigilant faithfulness. No one knows the exact hour or day, not even the angels, not even the Son, but only the Father. What does it mean, then, to keep watch? It means being faithful in the routines of our lives, staying vigilant in prayer, making space to listen for God's word, and doing the next right thing in the service of others—our families, our neighbors, our communities, our church. The stakes are high, but the comfort is real: Jesus is with us through the long watches of the night. He keeps watch with us, teaching us to trust him, to lean on his presence, and to find "songs in the night" as we wait. This podcast itself is meant to be a sort of spiritual wheelhouse—a routine and a place where we daily set our eyes on Christ, letting his words order our thoughts and align our course. Through the encouragement of the Spirit, through song, through scripture, and through prayer, we keep watch together, not just for our own sake but for the sake of those God has entrusted to us. So let's stay present. Let's be awake to the life God is placing before us. Let's keep watch—not in anxiety, but in hope and trust, knowing he is near, he is faithful, and in his time, he will return. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In this episode for March 5th, 2025, Hunter embraces listeners on day 65 of a year-long journey through the Scriptures. Today's reading leads us through Deuteronomy 1 and 2, revisiting Moses' reminders to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land, and Mark 12, where Jesus offers profound teachings about authority, resurrection, love, and true devotion to God. Hunter guides us through the narrative, reflecting on Israel's wandering, God's faithful provision, and the call to trust Him fully—even when the journey gets long or the challenges seem impossible. In Mark's Gospel, Jesus addresses tough questions from the religious leaders, teaching us about giving to God what is truly His—ourselves—and highlighting the importance of loving God and our neighbors above all. After the readings, we're invited into a thoughtful time of prayer led by Unknown, centering our hearts on peace, unity, and surrendering our lives back to God. Hunter also marks the significance of Ash Wednesday, inviting everyone—regardless of tradition—to walk together through the reflective season of Lent as we prepare our hearts for Easter. Join us in this sacred space as we listen to God's Word, offer our hearts in prayer, and remember the deep truth: you are God's beloved, and you are not alone on the journey. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The coin belongs to Caesar, but you—you belong to God. That's what Jesus wants you to see. As Hunter points out, the religious leaders tried to trap Jesus in a web of money, power, and politics, but he would not be caught in the snare of their idols. Instead, Jesus took a simple coin and asked whose image was stamped upon it. "Caesar's," they answered. But then Jesus took this moment to direct their hearts—and ours—to a far deeper reality. You are made in God's image. His imprint is upon you, just as surely as Caesar's image is on that coin. Therefore, your truest belonging is not to any ruler or any fleeting thing, but to God himself. As the catechism proclaims, "We are not our own, but belong to God." This is our hope in life and death. You are his—his child, his family, his beloved. So what do we give to God? Ourselves. Returning to him what is already his. When we do this—when we yield our hearts, our loves, our lives—we are freed from the idols and traps that entangle so many: money, politics, power. Instead, we find our truest and most joyful life in him. As Hunter reminds us, our real life is "hidden with God in Christ." This is the deepest truth about who we are. Let us learn to walk this out, returning daily to the God who made us, offering ourselves in love and trust. That is my prayer for my own soul. That is my prayer for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that is my prayer for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this March 4th, 2024 episode, host and Bible Reading Coach Hunter invites us on day 63 of our journey through the scriptures. Today's exploration takes us through Numbers 34–36, where God lays out the boundaries for the Promised Land, assigns cities of refuge, and addresses the inheritance of land among the tribes of Israel. Then, we turn to Mark 11 and witness Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, his confrontation in the temple, the mysterious withering of the fig tree, and a powerful lesson on faith and forgiveness. Along the way, Hunter offers thoughtful reflection on what it means to participate with God—to bear spiritual fruit, even when it seems unreasonable or impossible. The episode closes with prayer, encouragement to invest in your soul, and heartfelt thanks to the faithful community making this daily journey possible. Join in for scripture, prayer, and a reminder that, above all, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus speaks to the tree and Jesus speaks to his disciples. If you caught me speaking to a tree, you might think that's strange, and you would be right—it is. And yet, Mark tells us the disciples heard him say it. There was something lingering in that moment, something that carried over into the next day when the disciples saw the tree withered from the roots. They had to bring it to Jesus' attention. "Rabbi, look, the tree, it's withered." Jesus then turns to his disciples and says, "Have faith in God." There is a mysterious connection in this story between Jesus' words to the tree and his words to his friends. Why does he curse the tree, especially since Mark tells us it wasn't the season for figs? It's a mystery. Yet the tree, which had no fruit, failed to be what it was created to be. The Creator comes, looking for fruit—even out of season. Is it the tree's fault, or is there a deeper lesson here? We see that the tree was expected to participate with the Creator, to respond to him, to be ready to bear fruit when he came looking—even if it seemed unreasonable. Likewise, to the disciples, Jesus says: "Have faith in God." The Creator walks with his creation and asks us to cooperate, to be and do what we were made for. Does it seem impossible to bring forth fruit, to move mountains, to forgive someone who has hurt us deeply? Not if the Creator asks it of you. Not if the one who has made you and called you his own asks you to walk in this way. The life of a disciple is a life of participation with God. It is not about magic tricks or parlor games of faith, but about saying yes to God's invitation to be and do what he asks. When you pray, Jesus says, forgive. That's how participation works. Because you are forgiven, loved, and made new, you are invited to participate in his life, to forgive as you have been forgiven, to love as you have been loved, to be fruitful in season and out of season. This life with God may look strange to the world, but it is so much bigger, freer, and filled with more life than we can imagine. That's a prayer I hold for my own soul, for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's a prayer I have for you. May we become who the Creator has made us to be. May we say yes to his call, participate in his life, and find ourselves truly alive. 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, where we journey together through the pages of scripture and let the Word of God direct our hearts to the living Word, Jesus. In today's episode, Hunter guides us through Numbers 32 and 33, exploring the story of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh as they negotiate their inheritance and responsibilities on the east side of the Jordan. We then move into Mark 10, where Jesus' teachings challenge our understandings of marriage, wealth, service, and faith. Through the encounter with blind Bartimaeus, we witness the importance of spiritual sight—of hearing and recognizing Jesus before ever physically seeing. Wrapping up with heartfelt prayers and encouragement, Hunter invites us to live in the freedom, hope, and love found in Christ, encouraging us to share this good news with others. Whether you're new to the Bible or a seasoned reader, there's something in this episode that will inspire, challenge, and remind you: you are loved, no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He opens the eyes of the heart. In today's readings, we see the story of Bartimaeus, a blind man who, before his eyes are ever opened, seems to see what others do not. The miracle begins not with sight, but with hearing—Bartimaeus heard about Jesus, this one who pays attention to the poor, stands up to religious leaders, and is a friend of sinners. He recognizes that Jesus is the one the world has been waiting for, the Son of David, and cries out for mercy. When Jesus calls Bartimaeus to himself, he asks him, "What do you want me to do for you?" Although the answer may appear obvious, what's truly remarkable is that Bartimaeus, though blind, truly sees. He calls Jesus "My Rabbi." Somehow, the eyes of Bartimaeus's heart were already being opened by the love and presence of God. When God's heart awakens us and we hear of his love, our eyes are opened, too. Bartimaeus's physical sight is restored, but even more, his understanding—his inner vision—guides him. And upon receiving his sight, he does the only thing there is to do: he follows Jesus. Bartimaeus gets up and follows Jesus on the road, even toward Jerusalem and the cross. He is being made new. The story shows us that real sight, real transformation, often begins when we have ears to hear the good news of who Jesus is. That's a prayer for all of us—for open eyes, for hearts that catch a glimpse of the love of God, so that we, too, will see and, seeing, will follow. May your sight and your steps be guided by the love and mercy of the One who calls you by name. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters and my son—and that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for March 2nd, 2026! On this sixty-first day of our journey through the Bible, Hunter guides us into the heart of scripture, reading from Numbers chapters 30 and 31, and Mark chapter 9. Today's passages explore the nature of vows, the consequences of agreements, and the fierce battle against the Midianites. In the Gospel of Mark, we witness Jesus' transfiguration on the mountain, a dramatic healing, and powerful teachings about faith, humility, and combating sin. Hunter draws thoughtful connections between Old Testament laws and Jesus' words, showing how our need for freedom from sin is met by going to the Father and confessing our burdens. The episode is wrapped with heartfelt prayers for the listeners, encouragement to be instruments of peace, and reminders of God's unwavering love. Stay tuned for reflections, community shoutouts from Michael McClatcher, and invitations to join this growing circle of faith. Whether you're new or a regular, today's journey invites you to experience grace, hope, and belonging at the heart of God's word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He frees us from the agreements of sin. In Numbers 30, scripture starts with instructions that might seem obscure. There's guidance about vows and how a married woman or an unmarried daughter might be released from a binding agreement—by bringing it to her father or husband, who could nullify it if they did not approve. It was simple: freedom from obligation came through someone in authority. In Mark 9, Jesus confronts sin with equally strong language. He says, "If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off." He isn't advocating literal amputation, but rather using powerful words to emphasize the seriousness of sin's grip. Sin, Jesus shows us, operates like a contract, a vow—an insidious agreement between ourselves and the parts of us that are prone to wander. Sin says to the hand, "Do this and I'll reward you with that." Sin bargains with the eye, "Look here and you'll gain something." We make these agreements, often without realizing, and they bind us. But severing limbs is not the answer. The answer is severing the vows and contracts we have unwittingly made with sin. And the way to do that is the way shown in Numbers 30: we bring our vow to the Father. We confess to Him the promise, the contract that is ruining our lives—and He, our good Father, is the one with the authority to nullify it. He breaks the contract. He releases us from sin's power and control. This is not about magic words; it's about what God has done in sending His Son. Jesus paid the price for our sin. He met the demands of the agreement, and He alone has the power to free us from the bonds we've created. He is the one who can tie those deceitful contracts to a millstone and throw them into the sea. Are you trapped in the grip of sin? Take every agreement you've made—all the bargains, all the lies—and bring them to your Father. Confess them. Your confession doesn't change God's attitude toward you; it changes you. It wipes your eyes clear to the truth of your being: that you belong to Him. Regardless of sins committed, God will never cease to be your Father. He has united Himself with us once and for all through Jesus Christ—His incarnation, death, resurrection, ascension. Jesus has defeated sin, death, and the grave. Sin blinds our eyes to the reality that we are swept up into something new, but confession is our way of seeing again. On the cross, Jesus broke the power of every agreement. Let us return to the Father and remember who we are in the Son—free, alive, hopeful, and full of love. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   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 Daily Radio Bible podcast for March 1st, 2026. On this special episode, Heather guides us through Day 60 of our journey in the scriptures. As we gather from all corners of the world, our focus is not just on the words themselves, but on how they point us to Jesus—the source of our life. Today's readings come from Numbers chapters 28 and 29, along with Mark 8. Heather begins by reminding us that the scriptures bear witness to Christ, and invites the Holy Spirit to illuminate God's Word so our hearts and minds may be transformed. We explore the detailed offerings and festivals described in Numbers, and witness Jesus' compassion and teachings in Mark, including the feeding of the 4,000, lessons on spiritual "yeast," and a powerful call to humility and gratitude. To wrap up, Heather leads us in prayers for guidance, unity, and thankfulness, encouraging us to be instruments of peace and to let the joy of the Lord be our strength as we go forward.

There's something that can damage your hearing and your vision. It can even harden your arteries. Well, that might not be a clinical explanation of yeast in our lives, but it is a spiritual observation—an illustration that Jesus uses with his disciples. Watch out, beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod. They haven't a clue what he means. Jesus says, don't you know or understand even yet? Are your hearts too hard to take it in? You have eyes, can't you see? You have ears, can't you hear? Don't you remember anything at all? It seems that the yeast of the Pharisees could damage their hearing, their vision, their hearts, and even their memory. So Jesus wants them to be vigilant, to keep that yeast out of their houses and out of their lives. In Exodus, the children of Israel were told that before they could celebrate the Passover meal, they had to remove all yeast from their homes. Then they could sit down and enjoy the meal before them. It was a meal prepared from the hand of God, the result of his work and not their own. That's what getting rid of the yeast represented. The yeast represented the Pharisees' teaching of self-righteousness and self-justification. It represented their trying to make themselves right with God by their own piety, their attempted obedience to the law. Attempted obedience has never been our means of justification. No, we must rid ourselves of the yeast of self-righteousness in order to receive the righteous feast and life that is offered to us in Christ. That's why Jesus says, beware of the yeast. He calls us to rid ourselves of it so that we can see and hear clearly, to live well and hear well. He wants it gone so that we can enjoy the new heart he has given us, and enjoy the meal that comes from his hand. It is a meal that is abundant and feeds multitudes, with basketfuls left over. Let's be aware of the yeast of the Pharisees; it so easily spreads into everything we do. Instead, let's look to our Passover Lamb, prepared and offered to us out of the abundant and loving heart of our Father. He is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. Jesus has taken it away, and he offers us the feast of his life even now, today. It cannot be earned. It simply must be received. Ours is just to say thank you. Let gratitude and thankfulness be the disposition of our heart. Jesus took the bread and the cup, and he looked up to heaven and he gave thanks. So let us look up to heaven today and give thanks for the living bread, for the life that is given to us in Christ. It is a life without deceitfulness, without self-righteousness, and without self-promotion. It is a life of humility, kindness, and grace. Let us receive from him all that he has for us today. Be on guard. Be aware, and be alive in him. 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 for February 28th, 2026! In this episode, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, guides us through a significant stretch of scripture, exploring Numbers chapters 24 through 27 and the well-loved passage of 1 Corinthians 13. Together, we uncover stories of blessing, rebellion, and hope from Israel's wilderness journey—including Balaam's prophecy, the consequences of idolatry, a new census, and the bold petition of Zelophehad's daughters. We also witness the passing of leadership from Moses to Joshua. Shifting to the New Testament, we're reminded by Paul's poetic words that love is the greatest virtue of all—outlasting even faith and hope. Hunter reflects on the challenge of seeking clarity in life and scripture, and invites us to hold tightly to the peace Christ offers, even as our understanding remains incomplete. The episode closes with a time of heartfelt prayer, encouragement to walk in God's love and joy, and a special thank you to the listeners who make this daily journey possible. Get ready for a thoughtful, hope-filled exploration of God's Word—and a reminder that, above all, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We see things as a puzzling reflection, Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13. And as we move through passages like today's readings in Numbers, it's clear that our understanding—of God, of ourselves, and of our journey—can often feel incomplete, mysterious, even perplexing. The days of our lives, the choices we make, the events that unfold: all of it can sometimes seem like a riddle, a story only half-told. But the invitation of God is not to clarity and certainty in this life, but to peace. Christ invites us to rest in his embrace, even (and especially) while things are unclear. He calls us to discover his way of love, to value faith and hope and love above all things. "These are the greatest things," we are reminded. Our task is not to figure it all out—because, as we read, knowledge is partial and incomplete. Instead, our task is to keep our eyes fixed on Christ, to learn his way of love, and to offer that same love to the world. Beyond clarity today is Christ himself—who stands with us in the midst of uncertainty, who brings us peace that passes understanding, who encourages and strengthens us in every circumstance. It is Christ who helps us to endure, to remain hopeful, and above all, to love—because love endures through every circumstance. So, let's keep our eyes on him. Let's trust that, in God's good time, all things will become clear, and all will be well when Christ is all and in all. In the meantime, let faith, hope, and love be our guiding lights. That's the prayer for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near.
