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 podcast! In today’s episode, Hunter guides us through the Scriptures on this 10th day of November, sharing readings from Job 35 and 36 and 1 Corinthians 7 and 8. Together, we reflect on themes of God’s justice, the blessing and challenges of marriage, and the powerful truth that love—not simply knowledge or religious performance—is the true mark of faith.
As Hunter reminds us, we gather from all over the world to listen, pray, and kindle our hearts by the fire of God’s love. Through thoughtful commentary and heartfelt prayers, today’s episode invites us to let love be our guide in all things, seek God’s purpose, and remember that regardless of what we know or achieve, we are deeply loved.
Settle in, open your heart, and join the Daily Radio Bible community in a journey of faith, hope, and prayer.
TODAY’S DEVOTION:
Love is the truest test of what we really know. In today’s reading, Paul makes a remarkable statement that challenges how we so often measure spiritual maturity and inclusion. He writes, “There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created and through whom we live.” This is the kind of central truth you’d expect every believer to know, and yet Paul says, “However, not all believers know this.” What a surprise. Even those who don’t grasp the most basic tenets of faith are still counted as part of the community.
We might think—in our churches and small groups and ministries—that knowing the right things, saying the right things, and praying the right things is the ticket in. But that’s not Paul’s view. Inclusion isn’t about how much you know—it’s about being known by God, the God who is love. Love gives itself to those who don’t know, to all of us. Love lays down privilege and knowledge and lifts up those who are weak and uncertain.
So Paul’s advice is radical: let love be your guide. Let love direct your actions, and respond to those who “don’t know” with patience, grace, and self-giving. Love is our catechism; it’s our teacher and our guide. Whatever knowledge we possess, it should never stand above love, but always submit to it—for love instructs us in all we need to know, in God’s perfect timing.
Let love be our first concern, and then let’s see what God will do. That’s a prayer for my own soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and it’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.
