TODAY'S EPISODE:

Welcome to today's episode of the Daily Radio Bible! It's October 31st, and we're continuing our journey through the Scriptures with Hunter as your host and Bible reading coach. In this episode, we dive into Job 22 and Mark chapters 7 and 8, exploring themes of faith, tradition, and the true bread of life. Hunter invites listeners to reflect deeply on what truly sustains us—in a world full of spiritual "not enoughs," only Christ satisfies. Alongside soul-stirring reflections, you'll find moments of prayer and encouragement to slow down, abide in God's presence, and invest in your spiritual well-being. Whether you're a longtime listener or joining for the first time, settle in for a thoughtful and nourishing time in the Word.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

There's a tale of two loaves in today's reading. Two times, we see not enough bread—first, not enough for the multitude, and then, not enough for the disciples in the boat. In both cases, human resource falls short. Seven loaves for thousands is never enough, and one loaf among twelve is not sufficient. Like the disciples, we find ourselves living in a world of scarcity—coming up short, not just with bread, but perhaps with strength, wisdom, patience, or hope.

But Jesus invites us to look beyond the insufficiency of what we have—to beware the yeast that inflates and deceives, whether it's the power of religion or the ways of the world. He points to a deeper reality: The bread we need does not come from ourselves or our striving. The bread that truly sustains comes from heaven. Jesus is that bread—He alone is enough, and more than enough. When He gives of Himself, there is abundance: basketfuls left over, more than we could ever ask or imagine.

So today, as we reflect on our own places of lack or need, we remember that the bread of life is given freely, not earned or purchased by our own efforts. The invitation is simply to partake, to rely on what God alone can provide. Each day, we come to Him for sustenance—for healing, for hope, for strength, for forgiveness—for Himself.

Let's make it our prayer to seek the bread of life, not just for today's needs, but for our deepest hunger. Christ is enough for us, for our families, for our communities, and for the world. May we abide in what He gives—His own life, His own presence, His own abundance.

That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

Daily Prayer Transcript – October 31st, 2025

Prayer:

Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence.

May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace.

Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth that I am yours and you are with me. Amen.

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

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.
