TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, dear friends! On this July 27th episode, your host Hunter invites you to join him on day 209 of our journey through the Scriptures. Together, you'll warm your hearts by the fires of God’s love, reminded that our focus is always on the Living Word—Jesus—rather than mere ink on a page. Today’s readings bring us deep into Isaiah chapters 50 through 52, Psalm 92, and 2 Peter 1.

In this episode, Hunter reflects on the enduring promises of God’s comfort and salvation, highlighting the powerful assurance and confidence that comes from experiencing the Father's love—just as Peter did on the mount of Transfiguration. You'll be encouraged to anchor your hope in God’s unwavering faithfulness, even when life feels uncertain or your confidence is shaken.

Ending in prayer, Hunter reminds you that you are God’s beloved child, cherished and never alone. So settle in, bring an open heart, and let the Word speak to you today—there’s no doubt about it, you are loved.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

A Confidence Rooted in Love

Need a confidence boost? Peter’s experience on the mount of Transfiguration filled him with confidence. He recalls that moment in our reading today from 2 Peter 1, where he says, “Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message we proclaim by the prophets.” Hearing the voice of God built his confidence. What he heard was God’s declaration of love for his son: “This is my son whom I love. With him I am well pleased. Listen to him.”

Peter is still drawing confidence from this word, from this declaration of God’s love for his son. But he isn’t just remembering an event—he’s recalling how that experience awakened him to the love of God for himself, too. In John 17, Jesus speaks to the Father and says, “I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.” This realization—that God loves us just as he loves Jesus the Son—began to take root in Peter's life. It changed him. The knowledge and experience of God’s love gave him confidence to move forward, no matter the challenge.

Have you experienced the love of the Father? Experiencing his love transforms us from the inside out. It gives us confidence and the courage to move forward, just as it did for Peter. If you’re feeling unconfident today, that’s okay. Listen to those words spoken over Jesus and know they are spoken over you—you are God’s child, and you are loved. That seed of truth may take time to grow, but as you allow the Holy Spirit to nurture this reality in your life, it will bear fruit.

That’s the prayer that 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 a prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Jesus is my shepherd.
You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved.
Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone.
I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love.
Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure.

When I forget who I am, when I lose my way,
lead me again to still waters, restore my soul.
Renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours.
Amen.

And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray:

Our Father, wh
