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 today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible, where we delve into Romans 13-16, bringing Paul’s epistle to a powerful close. In Romans 13, we discuss the principles of living in society, focusing on love as the fulfillment of the law. Moving into Romans 14 and 15, we explore the themes of accepting one another in the faith and the importance of unity and harmony within the Christian community. Finally, Romans 16 offers a glimpse into the early church's social fabric through Paul's personal greetings and final exhortations. These chapters are rich with practical advice for everyday Christian living, emphasizing love, acceptance, and unity. Whether for personal enrichment or communal study, this episode provides valuable insights into how these teachings can be applied in our modern lives. Join us as we conclude our journey through the profound and impactful book of Romans.

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, they 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.

Whitney reflects on her journey and unpacks Proverbs 31:29 through her story of having a home birth. She acknowledges the undeniable mental component involved in the process. During such challenging moments, Whitney discovered a profound strength within herself. 

In today's episode, she shares her experiences and encouragement in ditching the shame that often comes with feeling defeated and recognizes the incredible strength already there. This is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and its capacity to rise above adversity. This perseverance isn't applied only to home births but to our journey in entrepreneurship. 

It's easy to get lost in a whirlwind of self-doubt when things don't go as planned. However, as we reflect on our experiences, we often find that we possess an incredible inner strength. Whitney's story showcases this strength as she did something remarkable. She managed her mind and stayed committed to her homebirth journey for an extended period, demonstrating that it's possible to overcome the challenges that come with it.

It's essential to remember that we are held to a higher standard. It's not a time to play small or retreat from the challenges we face. Instead, it's an opportunity to step into the person we are meant to become, stay in our lane, and fulfill the calling we've been given. Doing so can prevent the enemy from taking over our thoughts. Whitney leaves us with a message of hope and resilience. She reassures us that, despite our challenges, it's possible to triumph. The key is not to give up and never quit. Keep going, and remember that your strength is immeasurable.

More about the Pastor:

Pastor Susie Gamez, Canadian by birth and Korean by heritage, is now Mexican by marriage and American by immigration. With a passion for reconciliation, racial justice, and the Gospel, Susie and her husband Marcos met at Fuller Theological Seminary while getting their M.A. in Intercultural Studies. They are now proud parents of four beautiful LatAsian kids. After serving as a youth pastor and church planter in South Central Los Angeles for 14 years, Susie now resides in Sacramento and serves as the Co-Lead Senior Pastor at Midtown Church.

In this episode of The President's Desk, host Brad Hoganson is joined by Carrie (Levang) Bjorndal, the alumni relations coordinator at Hillcrest Lutheran Academy. Carrie shares her long history with Hillcrest, being a staff kid and growing up on campus. She and President Brad discuss the upcoming homecoming week and the exciting events planned for alumni. The episode concludes with a recap of the chapel activities from the past week.

We all have seasons in life when we feel the need to work on ourselves actively. It's an essential part of personal growth, and it's something that has been resonating with the women around me lately. The desire to be better versions of ourselves, especially when juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship, is a common theme.

In today's episode, Whitney unpacks Proverbs 31:28 and seamlessly reminds women that they aren't alone in the juggle of motherhood and entrepreneurship. A relentless pursuit of perfection leaves Whitney feeling like she can't win. Somewhere along the way, we've been prioritizing the wrong things. We've allowed ourselves to believe that our success in business should overshadow the success we achieve as mothers and partners. 

Whitney hones in the power of shifting our perspective to caring for our homes first. But what does it truly mean to prioritize the health of our home? It's about facing the hard stuff head-on and following up with actionable steps. It's about reevaluating our priorities and making sure our homes are our sanctuaries. 

It's essential to understand that prioritizing the health of our home doesn't mean sacrificing our business aspirations.

In a world where healing takes various forms, some approaches are truly remarkable. One incredibly inspiring approach to healing is trauma touch therapy, a unique blend of massage therapy and spiritual connection. This unique healing practice, deeply intertwined with spirituality, has created a safe haven for those seeking healing from profound trauma.

In today's episode, Whitney welcomes friend Laura Bensberg. Laura shares her journey of the impact that listening to the voice of the Lord has. She embarked on a personal healing journey, guided by the belief that God's healing power extends to even the deepest wounds. This journey was not only one of personal growth but also a profound lesson in complete surrender to the will of a higher power.

By nurturing a deep connection between body and mind, Laura facilitates rewiring the brain's response to traumatic experiences. The power of prayer, a source of strength and guidance, becomes an integral part of the healing journey. 

Laura's journey reminds us of the God who finishes what He starts. Even in the darkest moments, where the path seems endless, there's a glimmer of hope – a touch from the Lord that reconnects us to our inner strength. Through her work, Laura not only shares the beauty of healing but also serves as a reminder that our stories are part of a greater gift from the Holy Spirit.

The Proverbs 31 woman is celebrated for her virtuous character, spirit, and unwavering commitment to her family and community. Whitney welcomes Arianna, a female entrepreneur who stands out as a beacon of inspiration, embodying the essence of a Proverbs 31 woman. 

One of the most remarkable aspects of Arianna's journey is her unwavering trust in the Lord's timing. The journey of faith and entrepreneurship often involves venturing into unknown territories. For Arianna, this means stepping out of her comfort zone and trusting in the Lord. Aarianna's journey is characterized by a resounding "yes" to the Lord's assignment.

Arianna's "yes" to the Lord's call transforms her life and sets in motion a profound ripple effect. By embracing her journey, she inadvertently paves the way for others to say "yes" to their divine assignments. Her obedience and dedication serve as an example, inspiring transformation in the lives of those around her.

Politics and Christianity are two things that society tells us should never be brought up in polite conversation. Well, in this episode Justin Giboney and I are diving into both topics and how they intersect.

Justin is an attorney, political strategist, and ordained minister in Atlanta, GA. He is also the Co-Founder and President of the AND Campaign, which is a coalition of urban Christians who are determined to address the sociopolitical arena with the compassion and conviction of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

The AND Campaign seeks to educate and organize Christians for civic and cultural engagement that results in better representation, more just and compassionate policies and a healthier political culture.

Justin has served as a delegate for the Democratic National Convention and as the co-chair of Obama for America's Gen44-Atlanta initiative.

Mr. Giboney has managed successful campaigns for elected officials in the state and referendums relating to the city’s transportation and water infrastructure.

He’s the co-author of Compassion (&) Conviction—The AND Campaign’s Guide to Faithful Civic Engagement and has written op-eds for publications such as Christianity Today and The Hill.

In this episode, we explore:

• How Justin got involved in politics
• The origins of the AND Campaign
• How Justin dealt with being put in positions that may compromise his religious beliefs for the sake of politics
• The most challenging part about being civically engaged as a Christian
• Why Justin believes Christians should engage in politics
• How Christians can get involved with civic engagement
• Where Justin believes his purpose fits in all of this
