The Mercy of God for Those Who Stray (Isaiah 30:18)21 Oct 202600:08:38

Today’s Bible Verse:
"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" — Isaiah 30:18

Isaiah 30:18 reminds us that God is not only just but deeply compassionate. Even when we face delays, difficulties, or unanswered prayers, His desire is to show grace. Waiting on Him is not passive—it’s a posture of faith that positions us to receive His blessings fully.

The Ancient Map to Modern Peace (Psalm 119:29)20 Oct 202600:06:48

Today’s Bible Verse:
"Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me and teach me your law." — Psalm 119:29

The psalmist’s prayer in Psalm 119:29 is a humble plea for integrity and discernment. In a world filled with half-truths and self-justification, he asks God to protect him from deceit—not just from others, but from the subtle lies within his own heart.

True freedom begins when we allow God’s truth to reshape our thinking and guide our choices. His Word becomes the compass that steers us away from false paths and into a life marked by honesty, humility, and grace.

What Does It Mean to Overcome the World? (1 John 5:5)19 Oct 202600:06:48

Today's Bible Verse: "Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God." — 1 John 5:5

What does it mean to overcome the world as a Christian? First John 5:5 reminds us that victory isn't found in worldly success, personal strength, or having a life free from struggles. True spiritual victory comes through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. When we believe in Him, we can stand firm against the pressures, temptations, and fears that pull us away from God.

Service Changes You | A Bonus Episode From "On The Ground with Samaritan's Purse"17 Oct 202600:27:23

In this Bonus Episode of "On The Ground" | Service has the ability to radically change us. God can use serving others to mold and shape our hearts to look more like His. This is what happened in Angie’s life—a volunteer Kristy met while on the ground in Mississippi. Hear how the Lord is using Angie’s testimony to show others that they are never too far from Him.

Jason Taft, an assistant director with Samaritan’s Purse U.S. Disaster Relief, met Angie in Mississippi after a tornado tore through the southern part of the state. He was amazed by her skills on the skid-steer, but even more amazed by her story.

Angie has known about God her entire life, but she has not always walked with Him. Her upbringing was hard, and her adult life has been marked by many trials and disappointments. When twin tornadoes came through her town, Angie went out and served with U.S. Disaster Relief. She kept going back, day after day. 

In her private life, Angie was in active alcoholism and plagued by grief. But when she was serving, she was not drinking. Angie continually cried out to the Lord for help. About a year later, God delivered her from alcohol.

Service was the catalyst that the Lord used to change Angie's heart. And now she gets to serve all over the country, using her abilities and sharing her story with homeowners and fellow volunteers. Angie tells Kristy about a particular moment on a deployment when her testimony blessed a room full of volunteers. 

“And I believe that God is going to use all of us … And if people will just be brave enough to tell [their] story—it gets raw, but I'm living proof that God can do anything.” – Angie Polk

If you’d like to keep up to date with more stories from On the Ground, please visit SamaritansPurse.org.

How God’s Compassion Responds to Our Self-Inflicted Pain (Judges 10:16)16 Oct 202600:09:08

Today's Bible Verse:

"Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the Lord. And he could bear Israel's misery no longer." — Judges 10:16 

What happens when our own choices lead to pain, regret, and difficult consequences? Judges 10:16 reveals the depth of God's compassion for His people, even after they repeatedly turned away from Him. When the Israelites abandoned their false gods and returned to the Lord, God responded to their suffering with compassion, reminding us that His heart is not indifferent to our pain.

Looking Up When We Feel Down (Psalms 121:2)15 Oct 202600:08:05

Today's Bible Verse: "My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." — Psalm 121:2

Where can you find help when you're feeling down, discouraged, or overwhelmed by life's challenges? Psalm 121:2 reminds us that our help comes from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. When we feel weak or uncertain, we can lift our eyes beyond our circumstances and remember that the God who created everything is powerful enough to sustain us through whatever we face.

Your Faithfulness is Not Forgotten (Acts10:4)14 Oct 202600:08:59

Today's Bible Verse: Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.” — Acts 10:4

Do you ever wonder if God sees your faithfulness or hears your prayers? Acts 10:4 reminds us that God sees the quiet acts of obedience, generosity, and devotion that others may overlook. Cornelius's story shows that his prayers and generosity mattered to God, even before he fully understood what God was preparing to do in his life.

God Will Reward Your Faith (Hebrews 10:35)13 Oct 202600:07:45

Today's Bible Verse: "So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded." — Hebrews 10:35

How do you keep trusting God when your faith is tested and the outcome feels uncertain? Hebrews 10:35 reminds us not to give up our confidence in God, even when following Him becomes difficult. Faith requires perseverance, especially when prayers seem unanswered or promises feel far away. We can remain steadfast because God is faithful, and our trust in Him is never wasted.

Why Does God Move So Slowly? (Exodus 14:21)12 Oct 202600:06:23

Today's Bible Verse: "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided." — Exodus 14:21 

Why does God sometimes seem slow to act when we desperately need help? Exodus 14:21 reminds us that God's timing and methods may look different from what we expect. When the Israelites stood trapped between the Red Sea and the Egyptian army, God made a way forward that they could not have created on their own. What seemed impossible became the setting for God's power and faithfulness.

How to Trust God When You Need Extra Assurance (Judges 6:39)09 Oct 202600:06:09

Today's Bible Verse:: "Then Gideon said to God, 'Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request. Allow me one more test with the fleece, but this time make the fleece dry and let the ground be covered with dew.'" — Judges 6:39

Judges 6:39 shows Gideon asking God for reassurance before moving forward, revealing how easily fear and uncertainty can make us question what God is asking us to do. Even when our faith feels weak, we can bring our doubts and fears honestly to God and ask Him for the wisdom and confidence we need to move forward.

Why We Need a Childlike Faith (Matthew 18:3)08 Oct 202600:07:49

Today's Bible Verse: "And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'" — Matthew 18:3

What does it mean to have a childlike faith? Matthew 18:3 reminds us that following Jesus requires humility, trust, and a willingness to depend on God rather than ourselves. Childlike faith isn't about being immature or unquestioning—it means recognizing our need for God and trusting Him with the dependence and humility of a child.

Today's Bible Verse: "So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me." — Acts 27:25 (NIV)

Where does courage come from when you're facing fear, uncertainty, or circumstances you can't control? Acts 27:25 shows Paul encouraging those around him because he believed God would fulfill His promise. His courage didn't come from having an easy situation or knowing exactly how everything would work out—it came from trusting God.

How Will You Respond to Jesus? (Matthew 21:31)05 Oct 202600:07:29

Today's Bible Verse: “Which of the two did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.” — Matthew 21:31

How will you respond to Jesus when He challenges your heart? Matthew 21:31 reminds us that following Jesus is not simply about what we say—it is about how we respond to His truth. Jesus uses the story of two sons to show that genuine faith is revealed through repentance, obedience, and a willingness to change.

How do you move forward when you feel weak, inadequate, or unqualified? Judges 6:14 shows God calling Gideon to act even though he didn't see himself as strong enough for the task. God wasn't asking Gideon to rely on his own ability—He was asking him to trust the One who was sending him.

When God Doesn't Answer Your Question (Job 40:1–2)01 Oct 202600:08:18

Today's Bible Verse: "The Lord said to Job: 'The one who contends with the Almighty will correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!'" — Job 40:1–2 

What do you do when God doesn't answer your questions the way you hoped? Job 40:1–2 reminds us that there are moments when God may not give us the explanation we want, but that doesn't mean He has abandoned us. When life feels confusing or unfair, faith means trusting God's wisdom and character even when we don't understand His ways.

Today's Bible Verse: "Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed." — Joshua 23:14

How do you trust God's promises when the future feels uncertain? Joshua 23:14 points us back to God's proven faithfulness. Near the end of his life, Joshua reminded Israel that every good promise God had made had been fulfilled. When we don't know what lies ahead, we can look back at what God has already done and trust that His character has not changed.

Today's Bible Verse: "“And we said, ‘If they ever say this to us, or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the Lord’s altar, which our ancestors built, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’  - Joshua 22:28

Who are you when life gets complicated, your circumstances change, or you're surrounded by competing influences? Joshua 22:28 reminds us of the importance of remembering who we belong to.

Today's Bible Verse: "These were the cities designated for all the people of Israel and for the stranger sojourning among them, that anyone who killed a person without intent could flee there, so that he might not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, till he stood before the congregation." — Joshua 20:9 

What does the Bible teach us about God's justice and mercy? Joshua 20:9 reveals God's heart for both accountability and compassion.

How to Trust God When You Fear There Won't Be Enough (Joshua 17:14)25 Sep 202600:08:30

Today's Bible Verse: "The people of Joseph said to Joshua, 'Why have you given us only one allotment and one portion for an inheritance? We are a numerous people and the Lord has blessed us abundantly.'" — Joshua 17:14

How do you trust God when you fear there won't be enough? Joshua 17:14 shows the descendants of Joseph questioning whether their allotted land was sufficient, even though they recognized God's blessing in their lives. When we focus on what we lack, it can be easy to overlook God's provision and faithfulness. This passage encourages us to bring our concerns to God, trust His direction, and remember that His blessings call us to faith, responsibility, and action.

What does it look like to have the courage to trust God and claim His promises? Joshua 14:14 reminds us that Caleb received his inheritance because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly, even after years of waiting and facing challenges. God's promises may require patience, perseverance, and courage, but we can remain faithful by trusting His timing, standing firm in our faith, and continuing to follow Him wholeheartedly.

Joshua 12:1 reflects on the victories God had already given Israel, reminding us to look back on His faithfulness as we prepare for the future.

What can Joshua's life teach us about faithful obedience to God? Joshua 11:23 shows that Joshua followed God's instructions and remained faithful to the mission he had been given.

What happens when our mistakes create difficult consequences we didn't expect? Joshua 10:6 shows the Gibeonites facing danger after making a deceptive agreement with Israel, yet Joshua responded to their need and came to their aid.

Discernment for When LIfe Gets Complicated (Joshua 9:14)17 Sep 202600:06:42

Today's Bible Verse: "So the men took some of their provisions, but did not ask counsel from the Lord. — Joshua 9:14

How do you make wise decisions when life gets complicated? Joshua 9:14 reveals a crucial mistake the Israelites made when they faced a difficult situation: they relied on what they could see and understand instead of seeking God's guidance. When circumstances are confusing or people and situations aren't what they seem, we need biblical discernment and prayer to help us slow down, seek God, and trust His wisdom before making important decisions.

Today's Bible Verse: "Then Joshua built on Mount Ebal an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel." — Joshua 8:30

Why do we drift from God, and how can we stay close to Him? Joshua 8:30 shows Joshua intentionally building an altar to the Lord after Israel's victory, turning their attention back to worship and obedience. Staying close to God requires intentional choices to remember Him, worship Him, and make Him the center of our lives—not only in times of trouble, but also after seasons of victory and success.

Failure is Not the End of the Story (Joshua 8:1) 15 Sep 202600:06:06

What do you do when failure leaves you feeling discouraged or afraid to try again? Joshua 8:1 reminds us that failure is not the end of the story when we trust God. After Israel's defeat at Ai, God told Joshua not to be afraid or discouraged, showing that past mistakes and setbacks do not have to determine what comes next. When we turn back to God, learn from failure, and follow His direction, He can lead us forward with renewed courage and hope.

Today's Bible Verse: "Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the Lord, God of Israel, “There are devoted things among you, O Israel. You will be unable to stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted things from among you.” — Joshua 7:13

How can hidden sin affect your relationship with God and your spiritual journey? Joshua 7:13 shows that sin can create barriers between God's people and the victory He has called them to pursue. This passage reminds us that spiritual growth requires honesty, repentance, and obedience as we allow God to reveal what needs to be surrendered and removed from our lives.

Today's Bible Verse: "So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land." — Joshua 6:27

How do you stay close to God after a crisis or major victory? Joshua 6:27 reminds us that the Lord remained with Joshua after the battle of Jericho, showing that God's presence wasn't only important during the crisis—it was essential afterward. When God brings us through difficult seasons, we can continue growing in faith by remembering His faithfulness, staying close to Him, and depending on His presence for whatever comes next.

Trusting God's Unusual Instructions (Joshua 6:20)10 Sep 202600:07:26

Today's Bible Verse: "So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city." - Joshua 6:20

What do you do when God gives you instructions that don't make sense? Joshua 6:20 reminds us that trusting God sometimes means following an unusual path and obeying even when we don't understand how His plan will work. The Israelites didn't conquer Jericho through their own strength or strategy—they trusted God's instructions, acted in faith, and witnessed His power.

How to Seek God Before You Make Your Next Move (Joshua 5:13-14)09 Sep 202600:08:49

Today's Bible Verse:"Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, 'Are you for us or for our enemies?' 'Neither,' he replied, 'but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.' Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, 'What message does my Lord have for his servant?'" — Joshua 5:13–14

What do you do when you can't see what comes next? Joshua 5:13–14 reminds us that before Joshua faced the battle of Jericho, he encountered the commander of the Lord's army and was reminded that the battle ultimately belonged to God. When we face uncertainty, difficult decisions, or challenges that seem impossible, we can stop trying to control the outcome and instead focus on who God is, listen for His direction, and trust Him to lead the way.

How do you prepare for what God wants to do next? Joshua 5:2 reminds us that before the Israelites entered into new victories, God called them to a time of renewal and obedience.

Today's Bible Verse: "Joshua told the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.'" — Joshua 3:5

How do you trust God when the road ahead feels unclear? Joshua 3:5 reminds us that trusting God often means preparing our hearts before we can see what He is about to do.

How do you face unexpected places and uncertain situations with courage? Joshua 2:1 shows Joshua taking a step of faith by sending spies into Jericho, a place filled with danger and uncertainty.

How to Stand Strong When Others Need You (Joshua 1:16–17)02 Sep 202600:07:40

"Then they answered Joshua, 'Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.'" — Joshua 1:16–17

What does it look like to stand strong in faith when others are depending on you? Joshua 1:16–17 shows the Israelites responding to Joshua with a commitment to follow his leadership and trust God's presence. Their words remind us that faith isn't only about personal courage—it also means being willing to support others, obey God, and move forward together when the path ahead is uncertain.

Taking the First Step Before You Feel Ready (Joshua 1:10–11)01 Sep 202600:09:54

Today's Bible Verse: "So Joshua ordered the officers of the people: 'Go through the camp and tell the people, “Get your provisions ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.”' — Joshua 1:10–11

How do you take the first step when you don't feel ready? Joshua 1:10–11 reminds us that following God often means taking action before we feel completely prepared. Joshua instructed the Israelites to get ready to cross the Jordan and enter the Promised Land, trusting God's direction even though they couldn't see everything that was ahead.

Today's Bible Verse: "Jesus replied, 'They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.'" — Matthew 14:16

What can the feeding of the 5,000 teach us about trusting God when our resources feel inadequate? Matthew 14:16 reveals that Jesus wasn't simply concerned with feeding a hungry crowd. He was teaching His disciples to trust Him when they couldn't see how a solution was possible. When faced with an overwhelming need and limited resources, Jesus told His disciples to step forward in faith.

Finding Stability When Life Shakes (Isaiah 26:4)28 Aug 202600:07:53

Today's Bible Verse: "Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal." — Isaiah 26:4

What can you hold onto when life feels uncertain, overwhelming, or completely out of control? Isaiah 26:4 points us to God as our unchanging source of stability. When circumstances shift, plans fall apart, or the future feels uncertain, we can trust in the Lord because He is the eternal Rock.

Life will inevitably bring seasons that shake our confidence and test our faith. We may not always be able to control what happens around us, but we can choose where we place our trust. Unlike circumstances, people, or earthly security, God remains faithful and unchanging.

Three Steps to Take in Hard Times (Romans 12:12)27 Aug 202600:08:28

Today's Bible Verse: "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be in constant prayer." — Romans 12:12 

What should you do when you're going through hard times? Romans 12:12 gives three simple but powerful ways to respond: remain joyful in hope, practice patience through difficult circumstances, and stay faithful in prayer. These aren't quick fixes, but they provide a biblical foundation for navigating seasons of stress, uncertainty, and hardship.

Hard times can make it difficult to see beyond the present moment. Yet Christian hope reminds us that our circumstances don't have the final word. Patience helps us endure when answers don't come quickly, while prayer keeps us connected to the God who is with us through every season. When life feels overwhelming, these three practices can help anchor your heart in God's faithfulness.

Tired of Carrying it All? How to Finally Let Go (Proverbs 3:5-6)25 Aug 202600:07:21

Today's Bible Verse: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." — Proverbs 3:5–6 

Are you tired of carrying every worry, decision, and responsibility on your own? Proverbs 3:5–6 offers a powerful reminder that trusting God means letting go of our need to understand and control everything. Instead of relying entirely on our own wisdom, we can surrender our plans, fears, and uncertainties to God and trust Him to guide our path.

Letting go doesn't mean giving up or ignoring our responsibilities. It means recognizing that we were never meant to carry everything alone. When we bring our concerns to God and trust His wisdom, we can find freedom from the pressure of having to figure everything out ourselves.

The Sympathy of Jesus: Finding Hope when Life Hurts (Hebrews 4:15-16)24 Aug 202600:07:19

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." — Hebrews 4:15–16 

When life hurts, it can be easy to feel alone or misunderstood. Hebrews 4:15–16 offers powerful encouragement by reminding us that Jesus understands our weaknesses, struggles, and pain. He is not distant from what we experience. Because Jesus experienced temptation, suffering, and human weakness without sinning, we can approach Him with confidence when we need help.

(Bonus) On The Ground with Samaritan's Purse - Keeping Faith through Difficulty23 Aug 202600:30:14

In this special bonus episode from The Bible Explained, Host Jenn Kokal is joined by Kristy Graham, a dedicated wife, mom, and communications expert at Samaritan's Purse. Kristy shares her personal story of how her family's life was shaped by their involvement with Samaritan's Purse, and how her role in the organization's podcast, On the Ground, has been a game-changer for her faith.

Kristy talks about the importance of prayer in the ministry, and how the organization's staff starts each day with Scripture and prayer. She shares stories of the organization's work in disaster relief, including training for doctors and nurses fighting the Ebola epidemic, their response to Hurricane Helene, and helping those devastated by earthquakes in Venezuela. Through these stories, Kristy highlights the impact of Samaritan's Purse's work in bringing hope, love, and comfort to those affected by disaster.

Kristy also opens up about her own journey of learning to rely on God's strength, rather than her own. She shares how her role in the podcast has taught her the importance of rest and surrender, and how she's learning to say yes to God's plans, even when they don't make sense to her.

Kristy's vulnerability and passion for her work will inspire you to take a closer look at your own faith in the One who comforts, heals, and loves.

How God Uses Today's Fear to Build Tomorrow's Faith (Exodus 17:3)21 Aug 202600:08:28

Today’s Bible Verse:
"But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, 'Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?'" — Exodus 17:3

In moments of pressure and need, our natural instinct is often to complain. The Israelites, thirsty and weary in the desert, questioned God’s plan and Moses’ leadership. Exodus 17:3 gives us a raw glimpse into human doubt and desperation—but it also points us to God’s faithfulness in meeting needs we can’t meet ourselves.

How God Leads You Out of Distress and Into Peace (Psalm 18:19)20 Aug 202600:09:16

Today’s Bible Verse:
"He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me." — Psalm 18:19

Psalm 18:19 is a powerful reminder that God’s rescue is not out of duty but out of delight. David reflects on God’s deliverance and emphasizes that His love and joy for His children are the very reason He saves. When God brings us into a “spacious place,” it points to freedom, peace, and security in His presence.

Why Greatness Begins at the Bottom (Mark 9:35)18 Aug 202600:06:04

Today’s Bible Verse:
“Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, ‘Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.’” — Mark 9:35

Mark 9:35 flips the entire idea of greatness on its head. While the world pushes us to climb higher, Jesus invites us to step lower—not in value, but in posture. True influence, He says, is found in serving, not striving. When we choose humility over self-promotion and compassion over competition, we reflect the heart of Christ. In God’s kingdom, greatness grows from the ground up, where love chooses to kneel before it ever asks to lead.

Today's Bible Verse: "Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!" — Psalm 105:1

What does it mean to live out your faith in everyday life? Psalm 105:1 offers three simple ways to put faith into action: praise God, proclaim His name, and share what He has done. Living your faith doesn't always require a platform or a perfect speech. It begins with intentionally recognizing God's goodness and allowing your words and actions to reflect Him.

How to Trust God in Uncertain Times: Remembering His Faithfulness (Judges 5:3)14 Aug 202600:07:32

Today's Bible Verse: "Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I, even I, will sing to the Lord; I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song." — Judges 5:3 

When you're facing uncertainty, anxiety, or fear about the future, how can you find peace and learn to trust God? Judges 5:3 reminds us that one of the most powerful ways to strengthen our faith is to remember God's faithfulness and praise Him for what He has already done.

Remembering God's faithfulness changes our perspective. When we focus only on what we cannot control, uncertainty can quickly become overwhelming. But when we look back at God's provision, protection, guidance, and promises, we are reminded that the same God who has been faithful in the past is still with us today.
