TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for March 27th, 2025! In today's episode, Hunter invites us to gather around the warmth of God's love as we continue our journey through Scripture. We begin in Judges chapters 1 through 3, witnessing Israel's victories and struggles as they settle into the Promised Land, and the pattern of faithfulness and forgetfulness that follows. Next, we turn to 1 Corinthians 12, where Hunter explores the richness of spiritual gifts and reminds us that every believer has a vital role in God's symphony—uniquely crafted and deeply valued. As we meditate on what it means to embrace both our humanity and our calling as partakers in God's divine nature, we're guided through moments of prayer, reflection, and encouragement. Whether you're a long-time listener or joining for the first time, today's episode is filled with insight, hope, and a gentle reminder that you are cherished and have a note to play in God's masterpiece. Let's open our hearts and step into the day together—because as Hunter says, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: You have a part to play. You have your own note to add to God's great symphony. You get to add your unique sound to the magnificent masterpiece that God is composing in and through his people. The very word "personality" comes from the Latin word "persona," literally meaning your sound. God has created you to offer your sound, your life, your presence, to his great song. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are God's masterpiece. That word in the Greek is poema; it means poem. God has expertly crafted you to be exactly who you are, right where you are. To learn to play our part in the music of God's kingdom, we must begin by accepting our own humanity—because God has. He has accepted your humanity; he has even embraced all of humanity. He became one of us. He knows every secret, every weakness. As the prophet says, he remembers that we are but dust. And yet, in Christ, you have become a partaker of the divine nature—God's very life now dwells in you. You are deeply valued and cherished by God. Part of our Christian journey is learning to discover what it means to partake in the life of God. This does not make us God, but it does mean we've been welcomed into his family, his purposes, his symphony. So as we learn to play our part, we must remember both our humanity and our participation in God's divine life. When that is lived out, it looks like giving of oneself—being radically forgiving, learning to suffer alongside those who are in pain, offering self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. This is what it looks like to live as the masterpiece you truly are. That is a prayer I have for my own soul. That is a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that is 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. 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 ...

TODAY'S DEVOTION: We hear the cry of the flesh: "I will do it." That was Israel's confident response to Joshua—"We will serve the Lord"—but Joshua challenged them, saying, "No, you will not." Israel insisted, "We will do it." And how often do we echo that same refrain? Our hearts, like Peter's, boldly declare things like "I will never disown you," only to discover the weakness of our resolve when the moment of testing comes. Before the rooster crowed, Peter had denied the Lord three times. That is the story of the flesh—full of promises, full of self-assurance, but destined to betray both ourselves and God. What we need is not another promise from ourselves, but Someone who can do what we could never do, Someone who has done it. That Someone is Jesus. He is the One who was faithful when we were not. He undid what Adam—and all the sons and daughters of Adam—have continued to do. He kept the covenant. He served his Father in absolute obedience, all the way to the end. He did it. And after he had done it, he declared, "It is finished. It is done." So, as God's people, we need not rely on our own flesh. We need not say, "We will do it." Instead, let us proclaim, "It is done. He has done it." Let us live in the reality of Christ's victory—not our own striving, but his finished work. Because he did it, we can remain in the land. We can remain in him, in his promise and in life. Live in the One who has accomplished what we could never accomplish. That's the prayer for my soul; that's the prayer for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible with your Bible reading coach, Hunter. In this episode for March 26th, you're invited to journey through Joshua chapters 23 and 24, Psalm 44, and 1 Corinthians 11. Together, we explore the call of Joshua to wholehearted devotion, the challenges and faithfulness detailed in the Psalms, and Paul's guidance to the early church about unity, reverence, and Christ's ultimate sacrifice. You'll hear reflective prayers, honest conversation about the human struggle to keep promises, and encouragement to rest not in our own efforts, but in the finished work of Christ. As always, Hunter reminds us that our daily moments in Scripture aren't just routines—they're soul work that grounds us in God's love and strengthens us for the day ahead. Settle in for another heartfelt episode that's all about connecting with the living Word and living out our faith together. 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's March 25th, 2025 episode, Hunter invites us to journey together through key passages of Scripture—including Joshua 21 and 22, Psalm 47, and 1 Corinthians 10. We explore how God's promises were fulfilled for Israel, the importance of obedience, and the unity found in worship. Hunter takes time to reflect on the struggles and temptations we all face, reminding us of the victorious life offered in Christ and the transformation that comes from truly knowing we are God's children. As we listen, we're encouraged to rest in God's love, stand strong in faith, and walk in the assurance that what Christ accomplished on the cross changes everything for us. Each reading is accompanied by heartfelt prayers, and Hunter closes with a call to let God's joy and love overflow in our lives. Whether you're new to the journey or a longtime listener, this episode is a powerful reminder: God is faithful, His promises endure, and you are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We all experience temptation. In the wilderness, Israel struggled—many didn't believe, and it kept them from entering all that God had given them. They were meant to be God's special possession, delivered from slavery into freedom, given their own land. Yet, unbelief kept them from realizing who they truly were and how they were meant to live. But for us, it's different. Paul reminds us that our struggle with temptation isn't the normal or final story for those in Christ. The "normal" Christian life isn't one of simply wandering and failing, of our bones littered about the desert. Christ has come, and overwhelming victory has been won on the cross. Where Adam failed, Christ succeeded. As Paul writes, "For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being. For as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ Jesus." The victory of Christ on the cross has changed our very being. We are no longer slaves. We are God's own children. And this deliverance isn't just for a small tribe or nation—it's for all of humanity. In Christ, you have been drawn into God's very life. This is the truth of your being. And it is all a gift. Will you face challenges and temptations? Yes. But none of that can undo what God has done for you. The life of the Spirit in you now enables you to endure. As Peter declared, God has enabled you to share in his divine nature and escape the corruption of the world. Christ has made you a partaker in his divine life—his presence dwells in you. Still, only God can reveal God. So my prayer today is that God will reveal his truth to you—that you will see and believe that what Christ did on the cross has changed everything. You are his. You are forgiven, loved, and made new. You have freedom, and you have a new land—a new way of living that flows with his life. As the revelation of Christ breaks in, you'll find a new power to live—the way of faith, hope, and love: a self-giving life, a radically forgiving life, a co-suffering, cruciform life of Christ in you. That's my 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. 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...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast for March 24th, 2025! In this episode, Hunter—your Bible Reading Coach—guides us through the next stage of our journey in scripture, exploring Joshua chapters 18-20 and 1 Corinthians 9. Together, we witness the distribution of land among the tribes of Israel, the establishment of cities of refuge, and a compelling lesson on spiritual purpose and generosity from Paul's letter to the Corinthians. With heartfelt prayers and reflections, Hunter invites us to see how ancient laws and unfamiliar stories still speak to our lives today, encouraging us to "chart out the boundaries" of God's blessings and truly occupy what He has given us. Settle in for a time of scripture, thoughtful commentary, and prayer, as we focus our hearts on the transformational story of God's love for the whole world—and remember, you are loved! TODAY'S DEVOTION: The lesson of the ox. Sometimes in the Bible, we encounter strange, obscure laws like "Don't muzzle an ox while it's threshing grain," taken from Deuteronomy 25. At first, these sayings may seem puzzling or out of place for our everyday lives. But layered within them are implications that reach deep into the heart of God's wisdom. God is not only speaking to farmers about showing care to their animals—He's also painting a picture for us, showing how we should treat those who serve and work on our behalf, even those who work for the benefit of our souls. When we read through the Old Testament, so much of it can feel unrelated to our experience. How does muzzling an ox have anything to do with me, you might ask? Yet when we read these things, we shouldn't dismiss them or move quickly past them. Yes, the words are spoken to farmers, and yes, Joshua is speaking to the tribes of Israel—but God is speaking to us, too. It was written not just for them, but for us. God calls us to a deeper reading, sometimes an allegorical or analogous reading. Many church fathers felt that a spiritual engagement with Scripture—a creative, allegorical interpretation—was a higher form of connecting with the text. Maybe God would have you chart out what He's put in front of you. Maybe He'd have you sit and write out the boundaries of His blessings and gifts for you. Maybe, as was true for the Israelites, you'll find that there is unoccupied land and unrealized gifts in your life. God may be calling you to chart them, to seize them, to claim the inheritance that He has set before you. The lesson in the ox, and in all the pages we read, is that the Bible is for us. It's not just about ancient animals or ancient reports—it's about what God has done for us. This book is a revelation of Him, about the God who gave us His very life and about learning to seize and live in the reality of it. So maybe we can all chart out what God has already done for us—write it down, recognize it—and then go out and occupy it. Seize it. Live in the reality of who you are in Christ. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. 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...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, we're joined by a heartfelt message from Alex, a listener tuning in all the way from Rothenfels, Germany, who shares his personal journey of slowly coming to trust in God's love and realizing the power of sharing that love with his own children. Hunter continues guiding us through the book of Joshua (chapters 15-17) and 1 Corinthians 8, unpacking stories of inheritance, courage, and the hard-won assurance of God's acceptance. Through today's passages, we encounter the boundaries and allotments of the Promised Land, alongside the bold faith of the five daughters of Zelophehad—reminding us of our true identity as God's beloved children, worthy of asking for and receiving all He has promised. Hunter also reflects on the challenge of embracing God's love amidst personal insecurities and encourages us, as a family of faith, to take hold of the inheritance God freely offers. We round out the episode in a time of prayer, lifting our hearts for God's peace, unity, and the grace to be instruments of His love in the world. Stay with us as we explore the living Word, find encouragement for our daily walk, and remember this simple but profound truth: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Knowing who we are in God gives us boldness to receive what He has for us. Sometimes, in the journey of faith, we find ourselves questioning our worth or hesitating to reach for the inheritance God offers. We might feel, like Hunter shared, as if the abundance and blessing are meant only for others—those who seem more deserving, more together, less broken. Yet God's message to us is simple and profound: You are loved. You are family. And all that He has is yours. Just as the descendants of Joseph, the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, approached Joshua asking for more land, they received permission to take what they needed. Joshua didn't rebuke them or hold back. Instead, he said, "Take all you need." Their boldness was met with permission, and with God's provision. The same invitation is extended to each of us—to move forward in faith, to not settle for less, but to trust that our Father's heart is generous toward us. We also see this courage in the five daughters of Zelophehad, women who, despite living in a culture that might have overlooked them, knew their worth before God. They stood before Joshua and claimed the inheritance God had promised. Their clarity and confidence is an example for us all. They knew who they were—not outsiders or afterthoughts, but beloved children with a rightful share in God's promises. This is the gospel that meets us today, right where we are. Not because we have checked every box, or lived up to every standard, but because our identity is rooted in being His children. The inheritance is yours. The welcome is yours. The abundance of God's presence and provision is yours. Let this truth settle deep within: You are loved. You are included. You have permission to take hold of every good gift your Father offers in Christ. Step forward in boldness and faith, trusting not in what you've earned, but in who He is and who He says you are. That is a prayer Hunter carries for his own soul, for his family, for his children, and for you. May you know this love. May you walk in this identity. 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.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Heather invites us to join her on March 22nd for our 81st day journeying through scripture together. We gather with listeners from around the world, seeking to see Jesus—the true source of life—illuminated in today's readings. Our passages include Joshua chapters 12 through 14, capturing the Israelites' conquests and the legacy of faith left by Caleb, as well as 1 Corinthians chapter 7, where Paul addresses questions about marriage, singleness, and living faithfully in whatever situation we find ourselves. Heather guides us through the scriptures, reflecting on themes of faith, God's promises, and the call to grow in trust and love, no matter our circumstances or age. The episode concludes with heartfelt prayers and encouragement for the day ahead, reminding us that we are deeply loved. Whether you are tuning in to start your day or seeking spiritual nourishment, this episode offers wisdom, inspiration, and a sense of connection with a global community of believers. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Faith looks at the mountain. That is God, and says, give me that mountain, give me God. Caleb saw how big God was, and the giants seemed small. Some of us have the gift of faith like Caleb, yet we can all grow in and cultivate our faith no matter how old we are. Paul says faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the good news about Christ. We come to the Word, the Living Word, to become more like Caleb. That kind of faith comes from hearing the Word of God, the living voice of God. The Living Word enables us to grow in faith and dependence on the Lord each day. We will be empowered to become bolder, more mindful of others, less consumed with ourselves, more sensible, more humorous, and strong. Don't let the years deplete your faith. Grow old like Caleb, growing in faith until the very end. 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.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the March 21st, 2026 episode of Daily Radio Bible. In today's journey, Hunter invites us into an honest and transformative exploration of Joshua chapters 9 to 11 and 1 Corinthians 6. Together, we witness the shrewd faith of the Gibeonites, who, like Rahab, chose the path of wisdom rooted in faith rather than power—a theme that resonates with the everyday choices we face in our walk with God. Hunter draws connections between ancient battles and modern spiritual struggles, encouraging us to embrace a "shrewd faith" that relinquishes our insistence on having our own way for the sake of peace and deeper relationships. As always, the episode wraps with meaningful prayers, reflections, and a reminder of God's abiding love. Tune in for spiritual guidance, encouragement, and practical wisdom as you continue your daily walk through scripture. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Shrewd faith that seeks deliverance. The story of the Gibeonites reminds us that sometimes faith can look a whole lot like shrewdness. Much like Rahab, the Gibeonites saw what God was doing among his people. They recognized that the Lord, the God of Israel, was the God of deliverance. They didn't trust in their own power, alliances, or might. Instead, they sought to make peace with God—even using cunning and deception—because they feared him and believed his promises. Their shrewdness, though rooted in deceit, was ultimately an act of faith. It was their confidence in God's purposes that moved them to take action. The Gibeonites understood that deliverance did not come from holding tightly to their own ways or insisting on their own terms, but rather by aligning themselves with what God was doing. Even when their wisdom didn't look entirely "respectable," it led to their rescue and inclusion in the story of God's people. Jesus himself spoke of the value of shrewdness in the parable of the shrewd manager—commending the ability to let go, to give away, to not hold onto our own rights but instead to seek life and deliverance, even in unexpected ways. True faith often requires a willingness to let go and give up what we might otherwise cling to. Paul carries this same theme into his words for the Corinthians: Why not just accept the injustice and let yourself be cheated, rather than insist on your own way? Sometimes, faith means releasing our grip, letting go of our insistence, and making peace—in our relationships with God and with others. This is the way of faith—a faith that is wise, cunning, and obedient. It is a faith that doesn't always fit our expectations, but it always invests itself in relationship—relationship with God, with his people, and with the world. May we learn from the Gibeonites and from the words of Paul a shrewdness that leads us not to destruction, but to grace, deliverance, and life. That is the prayer I have for my own soul. That is the prayer I have for my family—for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that is 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.

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 ...

    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.

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.
