TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this 22nd day of May, we journey together through day 143 of our year-long walk in Scripture. Today, Speaker A guides us through the dedication of Solomon's Temple in 1 Kings 8 and 2 Chronicles 5, explores the majesty of God in Psalm 99, and reflects on the universality of sin and the gift of righteousness by faith in Romans 3. Join us for a time of Bible reading, prayer, and encouragement as we center our hearts on the living Word and remember that through Christ, we are loved and made right with God.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
We are all lawbreakers in need of a champion. Our life is marked by the reality that none of us measures up—we cannot fulfill the law or claim to be righteous on our own. Deep in our souls, we sense this lack: the need for someone to stand in the gap for us, to do what we cannot do for ourselves. We need a champion, someone who will enter into our spiritual darkness and do something about it, someone who will deal with death and the grave.
This is the gospel—that Jesus has come as our champion to deal with sin, death, and the grave for all of us. He hasn't come to condemn us in our unrighteousness; he has come to sit with us, to suffer alongside us, and to die on our behalf. In dying, he defeats death, freeing us from its penalty and grip.
The book of Hebrews tells us that since we share in flesh and blood, he also shared these same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who holds the power of death, the devil, and set us free from lifelong bondage to the fear of death. All that was needed for us to overcome sin, death, and the grave has been accomplished in Jesus. He has fulfilled all righteousness and defeated the evil one. He alone has completed the law's purpose for all of us and draws us into his victory and into his life.
Ours is the call to say yes—to wake up to this new reality that is given to us now in Christ. That is my prayer: to awaken and remain in this truth, to live in the freedom that comes from knowing that everything needed—every requirement, every victory, every triumph over darkness—has been fulfilled in him.
That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, 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. 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 EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for May 21st, where Hunter invites listeners on day 142 of our journey through Scripture. Today's episode features a reading correction—yesterday's chapters are revisited as we dive into 1 Kings 6, 2 Chronicles 3, Psalm 97, and Romans 1. Hunter walks us through the construction of Solomon's temple, celebrates God's justice and supremacy in the Psalms, and explores Paul's words in Romans about being made right with God—not through doing, avoiding, or knowing, but through faith from start to finish. Stay tuned for encouraging reflections, prayer, and practical encouragement to share and follow the podcast as we continue this journey together.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
How do we make ourselves right before God? Is it by doing more? Avoiding more? Knowing more? All the religions of the world will point us down one or all of these well-trodden paths. You must do, you must avoid, you must know. But none of these roads satisfy. None bring the rest, the assurance, the good news our souls really seek.
When we set out to justify ourselves before God by doing more, questions inevitably rise—how much more is enough? How good do I need to be? Those questions don't lead to peace. They lead us toward pride, self-made rules, and eventually to either pretending or deluding ourselves into thinking we've kept them all. Those nearby quickly see the truth: we are not as loving, holy, or pure as we so desperately want to believe.
Trying to avoid, to dodge our obligations or simply live for ourselves—for our appetites and desires—brings no deeper satisfaction. We end up owned by the things we thought would set us free. And knowing? God is not a subject to be studied or a system to master. He is the Master, and we will only truly know him when we let him master us.
The good news, Hunter reminds us, is that being made right with God is not about doing, avoiding, or knowing in our own strength. "This good news tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith." And that faith isn't something we conjure up; it's a gift. It is lived out in the life of Jesus—his faith, his obedience, his compassion, his love. That is what ultimately saves us.
He saves us from start to finish. Our lives are hidden with Christ in God. Now, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. That is the good news. That is how we are made right with God—from beginning to end, entirely by his grace and his work for us.
May we remember that our real life is not earned or achieved, but given—hidden in Christ, secure in his love and finished work. Let this be the foundation of our joy, our hope, our peace.
That's a prayer Hunter offers for his own soul, for his family, and for you. May it be so.


TODAY'S PRAYERS:

TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we gather each day to spend time together in the pages of scripture, not simply to check off a reading plan, but to encounter the living Word and be drawn deeper into God's life and love. On this May 20th, day 141 of our journey, Speaker A will guide us through passages from 1 Kings 7, 2 Chronicles 4, Psalm 98, and Romans 2. Today's episode reflects on the grandeur of Solomon's temple, the call to genuine transformation of the heart, and the persistent kindness and faithfulness of God. Join us as we seek not just knowledge, but a changed heart shaped by God's grace—and let's lift our prayers together as a global community, reminded that we are dearly loved children of God.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
An unchanged heart is already judged and condemned. If we are honest with ourselves, we recognize our need for a new heart—something the law and even our own conscience make plain to us. But God's answer is not to leave us helpless in that recognition. Instead, he sends his son to meet us in our darkness, to pursue us in love, to come into the far country where we are lost and alone, and bring us home to himself.
He comes for us—all of humanity—on our behalf, to taste death for all, and in his dying, to defeat death, darkness, and the grave. He drags us out the other side, into resurrection life. We are drawn into God's life, born again, given a new heart that can trust and walk in relationship with God; a heart that is truly changed. This is the evidence that we are the true children of God: that our relationship is founded not on piety or pedigree, but on God's grace revealed in the person and work of Christ.
God has given us the answer to our deepest need, and that answer is his Son. Let us live in the power of Christ our Lord, abiding in him, in his word, in his joy, and in his life. Let this be our prayer: that we would be a people transformed by the grace and mercy of Jesus, living not out of mere effort or tradition, but from a heart made new by his Spirit.
That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son.
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.

TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for May 19th. Join Hunter as we journey through day 139 of our yearlong trek in the Scriptures. Today's readings include 1 Kings 4 and 5, 2 Chronicles 2, Psalm 101, and 2 Thessalonians 3. We'll witness King Solomon's wisdom and the building of the Temple, reflect on a psalm of integrity, and receive encouragement from Paul to live lives of love, service, and endurance. In addition, we'll pray together and celebrate the generous supporters who make this podcast possible. Settle in, open your heart to God's word, and remember: you are loved.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Love leads to service and generosity. When we fail to experience the love of God, we grow despondent. We become idle. We do not serve and we are not generous. Working, serving, giving—they all become hard to do. We want to take what we can rather than give what we have. And yet, we can't give what we don't have. That's why we must experience God's love. If we are to show love, we must be filled and grow in our understanding and expression of his love if we are to give that love to others.
So Paul prays for us here in verse 5: "May the Lord lead your hearts into full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ." Do you know that you are loved? Sometimes it's hard to remember that we are. It takes patient endurance to hold firmly to that truth, so that in the end, it is deeply rooted in your very soul. And we must do this. God's love is exactly what emerges from the gospel. When we look and see the face of Jesus, we see what he has done. And so, each and every day, we open our hearts to the Spirit's working in our lives. We come to the word of God day after day to be reminded of who he is, what he has done, and who we have become in Him. Through his presence in us, we begin to be led into a full understanding and expression of the love of God. We patiently endure when it seems like the heavens are silent.
More and more we learn that this walk with Christ is a long obedience in the same direction. He is with us, and we can grow and experience his love. Out of this will come a life of service, generosity, joyfulness, and hope. So let us grow into a fuller understanding of his love.
Amen.


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.

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 for May 18th, day 139 of our journey through the scriptures. Join your Bible reading coach, Hunter, as we explore wisdom and faithfulness through today's readings: 1 Kings 3, 2 Chronicles 1, Psalm 78, and 2 Thessalonians 2. We'll witness Solomon's prayer for wisdom, reflect on the lessons of Israel's past, and hear encouragement to stand firm amid confusion and chaos. Together, we'll pray for God's comfort and strength, remembering that we are loved, held, and called to walk forward in hope. Let's focus our hearts and minds on God's word and discover peace for the journey ahead.


TODAY'S DEVOTION:
Don't be shaken. Don't be fooled. These are the words that rise to the surface as we meditate on the letter to the Thessalonians. Life throws so much at us—circumstances that seem impossible, relationships that break us, financial and physical troubles that pile on. These things can shake us to our core and make us wonder if God is even near. We can be shaken to the point of despair.
But it's not just the hard realities of life that can leave us unsettled. There are anxious voices and zealous teachers, sometimes even within the church, who try to persuade us that we're not measuring up, that we need to do more, achieve more, believe just the right things, or chase after some secret knowledge to truly be embraced by God. Fear creeps in that, if we miss a certain event or neglect a certain teaching, we'll be left behind, unloved, or even condemned.
This is exactly what was happening in Thessalonica. They were being told that they might miss out on God, that there was a secret or spiritual insight they lacked, and unless they did something extra, they would forfeit God's favor. If life isn't hard enough, these spiritual anxieties can threaten to unravel our whole faith.
But Paul's message cuts through all that noise: steady on. Remember, it is God who chose you. Your salvation is not the result of desperate striving or frantic chasing after spiritual highs. It is not a fragile hope that depends on your perfection or persistence. You are secure because of what God has already done. You don't need to leave your wilderness in search of him—Christ has come into your wilderness searching for you.
The good news is not about what you have to do for God, but what God has done for you. You now share in the glory of our Lord Jesus, not because you have completed a spiritual checklist but because of his finished work. So don't be shaken. Don't be fooled. Stand firm and keep a strong grip—not just on doctrine, but on the astounding reality that you have been wrapped into the very life and love of God through Christ. You are reconciled. You are loved. Keep your grip on that.
That's a prayer for my own soul. That's a prayer for my family—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.

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.
