TODAY'S EPISODE: TODAY'S DEVOTION: Reading today's scriptures, we encounter a real tension — a contradiction, actually — in the telling of David's census in 2nd Samuel and 1st Chronicles. On the one hand, we read that God incites David to count the people, while on the other, it's Satan who prompts this act. Some might see this and grow uneasy, wondering if the Bible's trustworthiness is at stake. But the authority and inspiration of Scripture do not rest on it being a flaw-free reference manual. The Bible is doing something deeper, more profound; it is not, first and foremost, a technical record or a divine encyclopedia. The very presence of these apparent contradictions is a signpost that the Bible should be read on its own terms. If we try to explain away every factual inconsistency, we risk missing the greater narrative: the Bible is inviting us into God's living story, a relationship with the God who is love, mercy, and truth. These differing accounts are not weak links to be repaired, but rather an invitation to mature faith — a faith that can sit honestly with the complexity and humanity of God's Word. God's people have always recognized the scriptures as authoritative, not because every detail is seamless, but because the stories, the poems, the letters, and the teachings draw us into the divine life. They reveal what it means to belong to God, to live under his mercy, and to join his story of love. In both accounts of David's census, we are ultimately pointed toward God's mercy. The authors have their own reasons for telling the story as they do, reasons shaped by the needs of their particular communities. Yet together, these voices lead us to the same truth: it is God's mercy that triumphs. Christ is our authority. He authorizes the Bible to tell his story — a story that forms us as a people beloved by God. So read the Bible honestly, unafraid of its tensions and contradictions. Trust the Spirit to use every word, every story — even the complicated ones — to form you in the likeness of Jesus. Let Scripture draw you deeper into love, not into fearful denial or brittle certainty. God's Word is not just information; it is invitation — into community, into relationship, into love. That's my prayer for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and daughters and son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so.

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 12th day of May, Hunter invites us to join in day 133 of our journey through the scriptures. Today's episode features readings from 2 Samuel 21–23 and 1 Thessalonians 1, exploring stories of trial, deliverance, and the faithfulness of God. Hunter reflects on how encountering Jesus transforms the way we see others, expanding our view of God's love and chosen people. The episode also includes guided prayer, encouragement for the day ahead, and personal updates from Hunter, including his ongoing journey into pastoral counseling. Gather with us as we open our hearts to the Word and to the transforming presence of God in our lives. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He changes our hearts and expands our vision. Paul was convinced of something profound—that God loved and chose this small community in Thessalonica as his own. And that was no small admission for Paul to make. In his upbringing, Gentiles—those who didn't keep kosher or follow Jewish laws and customs—would never have been seen as loved, let alone chosen. For Paul to declare otherwise, to see and say, "We know…that God loves you and has chosen you to be his own people," was a revolution in his heart and mind. It was evidence that he had truly encountered Jesus. That's what happens when we meet Jesus: he transforms the way we see the world, the way we see others—especially those outside our usual circle. We discover that the boundaries of God's love are far wider than we thought. Love isn't limited to our own race, our political party, our theological persuasion, or those who are "like us." No, as we encounter the living Christ, our vision expands. We begin to see people—even those we once considered outsiders—as loved and chosen by God. The message rings out: this love, this choosing, it's not exclusive. It's for the world. The believers in Thessalonica received this good news with joy—even in the midst of suffering. Their encounter with Jesus made them an example, so that the "word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere." Their lives proclaimed, in word and deed, the broad embrace of God, echoing across borders and backgrounds. Any theology that's empty of a living encounter with Jesus dries up and closes in. It forgets that the gospel isn't just for an "in-group." Jesus opens our eyes, again and again, to see as he sees, to welcome as he welcomes. That's a prayer I have for my own soul today: that the parameters of God's love would keep opening up in my own heart. That I would meet Jesus afresh and let him rearrange my perspective—so that his embrace for the world would be my embrace. That's a prayer for myself, for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son, and it's a prayer I have for you. May we encounter the One who changes everything. 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...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for May 11th, Day 131 on our journey through the Scriptures. Join Hunter, your Bible reading coach and brother, as we read from 2 Samuel 19–20, Psalm 55, and Matthew 28. In today's episode, we journey through King David's grief, political challenges, and restoration, reflect on David's heartfelt cries in the Psalms, and witness the resurrection of Jesus and his message of hope: "Don't be afraid. Go and tell." After hearing these powerful words, we'll spend time in prayer together, seeking courage and focus for the day ahead, and be reminded of God's steadfast love and presence—even to the end of the age. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Don't be afraid. Go and tell. Be sure of this. Those were the words the disciples heard after Jesus was raised from the dead. "Don't be afraid." These are the first words they hear as they approach the empty tomb. There's much to be afraid of when facing such uncertainty, such emptiness—questions without answers, situations that don't seem resolvable. Yet, the word of the risen Lord is, "Don't be afraid." The unanswered questions in your life need not cause you to fear. Why? Because he is with you. Because goodness and mercy are following you all the days of your life. Those first words are followed by a calling: "Go and tell." Go and tell your brothers, your sisters, the whole world, that they, too, need not be afraid. Go and tell them that the story of Jesus is alive and ongoing. That God's love continues on. That our journeys haven't ended—that God is not finished with you yet. There is hope for tomorrow. He is redeeming your past. He is alive today. Go and tell. And as Jesus meets them on the mountain, he gives one more assurance: "Be sure of this. I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Our comfort in uncertainty is his presence. Our calling is to speak hope into the world. The story isn't over. The tomb is empty. Christ is risen. Don't be afraid amid your own uncertainties. Go and tell. Be sure of this—he is with you, and you are loved. That's the prayer I have for my own soul today: that I will live in the light of the hope of the resurrection, listening for his voice, echoing, "Don't be afraid." It's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And it'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.

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. 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.
