TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for May 29th, day 150 in our journey through the Scriptures. Join Speaker A as we dive into Proverbs 10-12 and Romans 10, reflecting on wisdom, right living, the open arms of God, and the power of gratitude. Today's episode offers thoughtful readings, heartfelt prayers, and encouragement to embrace God's love and let it transform our lives. Settle in as we seek insight, inspiration, and strength for the journey ahead.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Open arms. That's the picture that Speaker A wants to leave us with at the end of this reading: God's arms are open. Always embracing, always drawing us in, always pursuing us—all day long. The persistence of God's loving pursuit is not just a message for Israel, but for every one of us, for the whole world. God's arms are open to us all day long, and that truth is expressed most perfectly in Jesus Christ. His arms, stretched wide upon the cross, embrace the whole world—each of us, in all our need, with all our story.
"For God so loved the world that he gave himself." In the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, His love is made visible, tangible, and unmissable. We are welcomed into the embrace of a God who does not hold us at arm's length but wraps us in grace, in mercy, in belonging.
The prayer is that, today and every day, we would live fully awake to that embrace—fully convinced, fully embracing the God who has embraced us. That prayer isn't only for ourselves, but for our families, our friends, and for you, dear listener. May you know the open arms of God, reaching out daily, inviting you to accept the love that is already yours.
Let us be people who respond to that relentless embrace—living, loving, serving, and hoping with the confidence that we are fully welcomed and accepted. Let our hearts be wide open, just as God's heart is open toward us.
That's a prayer for my soul. That's a prayer for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a 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. 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.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:  Proverbs 7–9, Romans 9
Click HERE to give!
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 Daily Radio Bible! On this 28th day of May—day 149 in our journey through the Bible—Speaker A invites you to join in as we turn our hearts and minds to the pages of Scripture. Today's episode takes us through Proverbs chapters 7 to 9, where wisdom and folly call out to us, and through Romans 9, where Paul wrestles with God's mercy, promise, and our place in his family. Along the way, Speaker A reflects on the secret of wisdom—learning to trust in God rather than leaning on our own understanding—and leads us in prayer for grace, peace, and unity in our world. Whether you're a longtime listener or new to the journey, make space today for wisdom, prayer, and the transforming grace of God.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Wisdom has a secret. And the secret is to trust in God. Don't exclude God and rely simply on your own understanding. Lean on Him. The writer here is addressing us as children. The wisdom of God will be experienced in the context of relationship with God, as family. The Creator of all things invites you to know him, to be known by him, to enter into conversation with Him.
Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced, we're told. There's so much that I don't understand in this life about my own heart, about God. But what I am learning is that I can trust Him. And he desires that I walk with Him. His purposes are good for me, and he is always working for my best. He cares for us.
Sometimes I get proud and arrogant and I begin to feel like an employee and not a son. I feel entitled and less grateful. I become more distant from my own heart, from the heart of others, the heart of God. But we saw today that wisdom cries out to hearts like that. Like a good father, Wisdom shepherds us into life and away from destruction.
That's why I come to the Word each day with you, to train my heart in the way of wisdom. Not by memorizing all these dictates. I come to hear the Voice of my father, drawing me into his life and into his joy. I come because wisdom invites me to walk with him, to see myself as he does, as God's child, drawn into that relationship by no doing of my own, but simply by God's grace and his love for me.
And that love for me is not exclusive to me. It's a love that extends to every human being that was ever born. No. When we trust in him, we will never be disgraced. When we trust in him, we discover his grace. We are enfolded in his grace. We are made alive and joyful in his grace.
And that's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so.


TODAY'S PRAYERS:
Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.  
Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. 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

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:  Proverbs 4–6, Romans 8
Click HERE to give!
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 Daily Radio Bible! On this 27th day of May, join Speaker A as we continue our journey through the Scriptures. Today, we dive into Proverbs 4–6 for timeless wisdom on living a life marked by discernment, integrity, and self-control. Then, we explore the powerful truths of Romans 8, where we are reminded of the freedom found in Christ, the hope for our future, and the inseparable love of God. Together, we'll reflect, pray, and start our day rooted in God's word and the assurance that we are deeply loved. Let's open our hearts and set our feet toward Jesus once again.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
God does what our bodies cannot do. He achieves what our sinful natures fail to achieve. At the beginning of Romans 8, we hear it so plainly—God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have, and in that body, God declared an end to sin's control over us by offering his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
There are things in life that just can't be accomplished by our own strength. We're simply too broken, our world beyond our own repair, redemption, or even hope—at least from where we sit. But not so with God. Nothing is impossible for him. When all seemed lost, God sent Mr. Hope himself—his Son—into our world, into a body just like ours. And through him, he brought us a new kind of life: his life, the life he shares with the Father and the Spirit. This is a vision for what our lives can become as we walk by his Spirit and agree with him in faith.
It's a life characterized by hope, peace, joy, kindness, and grace. It's resurrection life—right here, right now. A freedom that can be ours today, even in the midst of all our limitations and weaknesses.
Friends, you are loved. God has united himself to you in Christ. There is nothing that can separate you from that love—not your failures, not your past, not your circumstances, nothing in this world or the next. Because of Christ's work for us, we are invited to live in him and through him by the Spirit. Let this reality take root in your heart today. Remember that you belong to him, and allow his life to find fuller expression in all you do.
That's the prayer I carry for my own soul. That's the prayer I hold for my family—my wife, 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.

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.

TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible on this 26th day of May. Join Speaker A, your Bible reading coach, as we dive into Proverbs chapters 1 through 3 and Romans chapter 7. Today's episode explores wisdom, discipline, and the foundation of true knowledge as revealed in Proverbs, then moves into the struggle with sin and the liberation found in Christ in the book of Romans. Alongside scripture readings, Speaker A offers heartfelt prayers and encouragement, reminding us of our union with Christ and the call to bear good fruit in our lives. Whether you're new to daily scripture or a longtime listener, you are invited to journey deeper into God's word and love together.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
You died in Christ, and now you are united with the One who was raised from the dead. That's what Paul wants us to see, to stake our lives on, in Romans 7. Our old life—bound and weighed down by the law, by sin, by cycles of shame—is finished, crucified with Christ. The new reality is one of union: united with Jesus, drawn into the very life and love of God. We no longer struggle alone, measuring ourselves by what we can or cannot do, or by how perfectly we obey. Instead, we are invited to share in Christ's victory, his resurrection life that now pulses in us by sheer gift.
It's not by our striving, nor by our hard-won discipline or careful performance. It is by grace—by the abounding love of God, extended to the world, pulling us into the triune communion. In Christ, we receive the capacity to love, to bring peace and healing, to do good deeds from a new center within us. God's Spirit shapes us, enabling us to become who we were meant to be, and to live as agents of healing in a world aching for restoration.
All of this flows from our union with Christ, not from our effort. It's God's gracious gift to you—and to all. So the call today is to go forward in this calm and confident assurance: you are free in Christ, invited to bear fruit that brings blessing. Step into that freedom, rest in that union, and let his resurrected life animate your every word, act, and hope.
That's the prayer I am holding for my own soul today, for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it's the prayer I hold for you: that you would know and live in the truth of your union with Christ.
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...

Amen.

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:  1 Kings chapters 10 and 11, 2 Chronicles 9, Romans 6
Click HERE to give!
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 Daily Radio Bible for May 25th. I'm Speaker A, and today marks day 145 in our journey through the Scriptures. As we gather from around the world, our purpose is not just to read words, but to encounter Jesus—the true source of our life—through these sacred texts. With open hearts, we invite the Holy Spirit to illuminate God's word, allowing us to see Christ more clearly and be warmed together by the fire of God's love.
Today's readings include 1 Kings chapters 10 and 11, 2 Chronicles 9, and Romans 6. We'll hear about the wisdom and splendor of Solomon, the visit from the Queen of Sheba, Solomon's eventual turning from God, and the consequences that followed. In Romans, we'll be reminded of our freedom in Christ and the new life we are invited into. Let's dive in and discover what God has for us today.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Now you are free. Did you hear Paul clearly say it? Now you are free from the power of sin. You are free not to sin, but to live in God. You are united to Him. This is not something you need to accomplish for yourself, but something that has already been accomplished for you in Christ. The Spirit of Christ now dwells in you, enabling, empowering, awakening you to who you really are—a new creation, a new person, a free person.
No longer slaves to sin, no longer imprisoned by the past or to habits that have held us captive, we are free. Free to live as God has intended for us, to walk in this newness of life that is rooted in Christ's work and joined to Him. Now the journey of discipleship is lived from this truth: that we have already been set free, that the shackles of the old life no longer define us.
We are called to exercise our freedom, not to go back to the things that once imprisoned our hearts and lives, but to step forward into what God has declared about us. That is the life of discipleship—it is living in the truth of our union with God, allowing His Spirit to root us and anchor us in this beautiful, finished reality.
Today, you are absolutely free. Free to live in Him, free to love, free to forgive, free to be instruments of God's peace and blessing for the world. May you step into your freedom, live out of it, and know that you are loved and cherished by God Himself.
That's my prayer for my own heart, for my family, and for each of you. May we walk as God's free and beloved children. 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.
