Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love.

TODAY'S EPISODE:
Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, we're journeying through Nehemiah chapters 9 and 10 and finishing up in Acts chapter 2. Hunter, your brother and Bible reading coach, leads us as we gather from all around the world to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love and focus on the One who has the words of life—Jesus.
In this episode, we witness Israel's heartfelt confession, renewed commitment, and covenant with God as they recall His faithfulness and their history. We also step into the powerful moment of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit fills the believers and launches the early church into a new era of unity, generosity, and purpose. Hunter encourages us to receive God's ongoing work in our lives, reminding us that Jesus has succeeded—and will continue to succeed—in restoring His kingdom, not only in the lives of the apostles but in each of us today.
Get ready for inspiration, encouragement, and soul care as we explore scripture together. Let's open our hearts, listen for God's voice, and remember: you are loved.
TODAY'S DEVOTION:
He will succeed in you. That’s the message we hear echoed in today’s scripture. Jesus has accomplished all he set out to do—his resurrection, his pouring out of the Spirit, his kingdom coming among us. And yet, his work isn’t finished: he continues to restore, renew, and reign in the lives of those who call upon his name. The restoration of all things is underway, not just for those famous disciples—Peter, James, John, Mary Magdalene—but for you, too. The promise is sure: the God who began the good work within you will carry it on to completion until Christ returns.
We hear in Acts 2 a picture of what it looks like when Jesus succeeds in a person’s life. People are pierced to the heart, they repent, their lives are reshaped by the Spirit—they devote themselves to teaching, to fellowship, to sharing, to prayer. There is awe and generosity, daily worship, and a deepening joy. The Spirit makes all things new. Jesus brings restoration to broken hearts, hope to the discouraged, belonging to the lonely. He is still at work, day by day, in you.
So the invitation today is simple: let us see, believe, trust, and respond. Not just strive for achievement, but be open to receive. Fix your heart on the quiet work of grace, the gift of being made new through Christ, abiding in his love and peace. The hurried spirit of this world pushes us to earn, to prove, but the Spirit of God calls us to abide, to be made whole.
That’s my prayer for my own soul. It’s the prayer I carry for my family—my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it is the prayer I have for you. May you see the work he is doing in you, may you believe it, and receive it. Christ will finish what he started. 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.
