On this August 6th episode, Host Hunter guides us through day 219 of our journey through the Scriptures. Today, we dive into the book of Habakkuk, exploring the prophet’s heartfelt cries for justice and God’s powerful assurance in the midst of turmoil. Hunter then leads us to the Gospel of John, chapter 8, where we witness Jesus’ radical compassion for the woman caught in adultery and His bold declaration: “I am the light of the world.” As we reflect on the question, “Who are you?”—the very question the crowds pressed upon Jesus—Hunter unpacks how our perceptions of God can be clouded by fear and lies, and reminds us that looking to Jesus on the cross reveals the true heart of God: love. Alongside our readings, Hunter offers prayers rooted in peace, hope, and unity, inviting us to continue growing in faith and understanding. Whether you’re joining with your family or spending quiet time alone, this episode is a warm invitation to encounter the living Word and remember this important truth: you are loved. Let’s begin today’s journey together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Who are you? That was the question on everyone’s lips in John 8. The religious leaders, confused and threatened by Jesus, kept demanding an answer. Who could he possibly be? Why did his words stir up so much fear—and so much hope? Sometimes, just like those early listeners, our own hearts are not ready to truly hear Jesus’s answer. We find ourselves blinded by lies—lies that feed our fears, that swell our pride, that paint God with the colors of our own anxieties. These lies keep us from seeing Jesus for who he really is, and they keep us from the healing he longs to give. So what does God do when we are lost in that darkness? He comes. He doesn’t shame us or turn away—he steps into our confusion and brokenness with love. In Jesus, God shows us the way of love: self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will know that I am he.” If we want to see who Jesus is, we have only to look at the cross. There, we see what the woman caught in adultery saw: the one who stoops down, enters into the dust of our lives, and writes something new—a story not of condemnation, but of mercy and life. At the cross, we see the one who takes away the sin of the world, who includes us in the love he shares with the Father. We see love; that is who he is. That’s the prayer of my heart today: that I would truly hear and see Jesus answer that old question, “Who are you?”—and that I would recognize Love lifted up for the world. This is my prayer for myself, for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that’s my prayer for you, too. 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. O 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. O Lord, grant that I might not seek so much 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation. ...

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where every day is a fresh journey through the pages of Scripture. It's August 5th and we’re on Day 218 of our adventure together. I’m your host, Hunter—your brother, Bible reading coach, and fellow traveler as we gather from places near and far to warm our hearts by the fires of God’s love. In today’s episode, we dive into 2 Kings 23, 2 Chronicles 35, and John 7. We’ll witness King Josiah’s groundbreaking reforms to restore true worship in Israel, the powerful celebration of Passover that hadn’t been seen since the time of the judges, and the challenges Josiah faced against powerful nations. Then, we’ll turn to the gospel of John and find Jesus at the Festival of Shelters, teaching boldly about living water—the Spirit that he promises to pour out on all who believe. Along the way, Hunter draws out the deeper meaning behind the festival’s water-pouring ceremony, connecting it to Jesus’ declaration that he is the true source of life and hope. We’ll wrap up with heartfelt prayers for God’s guidance, mercy, and joy as we step into a new day. So grab your Bible, settle in, and join us as we encounter God’s living Word together—and remember, you are loved. No doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is the Source of Living Water. Picture the scene at the festival of shelters—each day, the priest carries water from the pool of Siloam, pours it out upon the altar, and it runs down the temple steps. For seven days, this ritual is repeated, and on the final day, the expectation and hope of the people reach their pinnacle. This act was more than tradition; it was a symbol, a living picture of the Messiah pouring out the Spirit upon God’s people, a promise rooted in the Scriptures—“I will pour out water to quench your thirst and irrigate your parched fields… I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants and my blessing on your children” (Isaiah 44:3). And in this very moment, Jesus stands and shouts to the crowds: “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me. Anyone who believes in me may come and drink.” It’s as if Jesus steps into the very heart of the ceremony and says, All of this points to me. I am the One you’ve been waiting for. I am the Source of the Living Water the world so desperately needs. The promise, the hope, and the life the ritual anticipated is found in Him—and received by coming to Him, trusting Him, believing. That’s the invitation Christ makes to you and to me: to come to the Source, to drink freely, to allow His Spirit—like streams of living water—to flow within us and out of us into a thirsty, longing world. No longer do we look for life in ceremonies or traditions—good as they may be—because the true fulfillment is Christ Himself, the One in whom all God’s promises find their “yes.” We don’t come to Jesus for fame, for recognition, or for any fleeting thing. His brothers sought notoriety, but Jesus came, not to be applauded, but to do what the Father asked—to seek, to save, and to invite us into the overflowing life He shares with the Father and the Spirit. His heart is to give, to pour out, so that we too would be channels of living water, blessing, hope, and renewal to the world. So, today, let’s come to Him who is the Source. Let’s drink deeply of the life He freely gives. Let’s allow the living water to flow through us—transforming us, refreshing us, and reaching out to others. 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: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, ...

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode for August 4th, 2025, join your host Hunter as we journey together through the Bible, warming our hearts by the fires of God’s love. Today’s readings take us from the remarkable reign of King Josiah—who discovers the long-lost Book of the Law and leads the people in repentance—to the miraculous moment when Jesus feeds the five thousand and declares Himself the Bread of Life in John 6. We’ll reflect on how God's Word can be hidden in plain sight—both in ancient temples and in our own busy lives—and what it means to truly seek, see, and be satisfied by the living Word. Along with thoughtful readings, Hunter will guide us in prayer, encouraging us to find hope, joy, and transformation as we behold Jesus together. So wherever you’re tuning in from—whether the Bronx or Bogota—settle in for a time of reflection, scripture, and heartfelt community. Let’s get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: For generations, the Word of God was lost to God’s people—even lost right where you would expect to find it, right in the temple. But no one was looking. No one was listening. King Josiah, by God’s providence, would eventually find it. When it was read, it broke his heart and drove him to deep repentance. In our reading from John today, we see that once again the Living Word is right where you would expect to find him: among God’s people, in the synagogue. And yet, he’s hidden in plain sight. Jesus is present, performing miracles, feeding the multitudes, walking on water. All of this points unmistakably to who he truly is—the Bread of Life, the Living Word made flesh. Yet, many still do not see him. They are distracted by their own needs, their own expectations. Their eyes are on the gifts, not on the Giver. The living Word can be lost in the midst of ruins—the ruins of our past, the self-indulgence of our lives. The living Word can even be lost among God’s people when we lose sight of him, even when he is right before us. Jesus challenges the crowds because they are looking for provision instead of understanding the signs; they are preoccupied with the food that perishes, instead of seeking the eternal life he offers. He tells them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again.” He invites us not simply to look for what we want, but to see who he is. The one who satisfies, who fills the emptiness within, who gives us himself. It is a call to shift our focus—from ourselves and our anxieties, to him, the One who has come down from heaven for us. We see it in Josiah, who, when confronted with the Word, tears his clothes in repentance, realizing how far the people had strayed. We see it in Peter, who after witnessing Jesus’ power and presence, falls to his knees and confesses his own brokenness and need. We find Jesus, the Bread of Life, at the center of it all—our true sustenance, our source of life. Are we seeing the Word of God that is right before us? Are we letting our hearts be satisfied—not by what we can acquire, but by who he is? Are we, like Josiah, like Peter, humbling ourselves before the living Word, turning from what is perishable to what is eternal? May you see the bread that has been hidden in plain sight. May you take it, eat, and be satisfied. That’s my prayer for my own soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and that’s a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. OUR WEBSITE: ...
