KCBI's Day of Prayer

June Hunt reminds us that forgiveness does not require the other person to apologize, change, or even understand what they’ve done. Many of us grew up hearing “forgive and forget,” but June explains that isn’t biblical — God doesn’t have holy amnesia. We remember the hurt, and then we intentionally choose to release it. Forgiveness means taking someone off our emotional hook and placing them into...

June Hunt explains that forgiveness isn’t instant — there are stages we walk through. First, we have to face the offense and acknowledge that the wrong really happened. Then, we must allow ourselves to feel the hurt, remembering that “the Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” Finally, forgiveness means releasing the person from our personal hook and entrusting them to God. It may not feel fair — bu...

June Hunt shares honestly about why forgiveness can feel impossible — especially when the hurt is deep or unfair. She explains that forgiving someone doesn’t mean pretending the harm didn’t matter or letting them “off the hook.” Instead, forgiveness is moving the person from our hook to God’s hook, trusting Him to deal with justice in His timing. Forgiveness isn’t about feelings — it’s about relea...

June Hunt begins the hour with prayer, asking God to help us with one of the hardest things we face: forgiving when it doesn’t feel fair or easy. She invites us to bring our hurt to the Lord, trusting that He sees every wound and provides the guidance we need. This is a prayer for softening hearts, opening ears, and letting God lead us toward the freedom found in true forgiveness.

Allie Beth Stuckey and Dave Moore talk about how the cultural confusion we’re seeing today isn’t new. Scripture shows us that humanity has always wrestled with sin, identity, and the temptation to put ourselves above God. Romans 1 reminds us that when people turn away from God, disorder follows — yet the Bible also tells us that God is still at work, drawing people back to Himself. Allie encourage...

Allie Beth Stuckey and Dave Moore talk about how cultural disagreements today often cut right to the core — truth, goodness, and morality. These aren’t small differences, and they can create real tension in families and friendships. Allie shares that unity isn’t always about perfect agreement. Sometimes it looks like honest conversation, patience, and remembering that our job is not to win argumen...

Allie Beth Stuckey joins Dave Moore to talk about one of the biggest challenges Christians face when navigating cultural issues: fear. Not a lack of truth, but the fear of how others will respond to it. Allie shares that the Bible is actually clear on the topics dividing our culture today — identity, marriage, and the value of life — even from the very first pages of Scripture. The real hurdle is...

In the afternoon culture hour, Allie Beth Stuckey prays for courage and clarity as believers navigate a confusing and rapidly shifting world. She asks God to empower every listener—whether parent, student, worker, or grandparent—to stand for biblical truth with boldness and compassion in their daily lives.

Pastor Jack Graham speaks to the challenges of being part of the “sandwich generation”—caring for aging parents while still parenting children of your own. He reminds us of the biblical call to honor our father and mother, encouraging families to stay present, supportive, and compassionate as parents grow older. Though caregiving can be demanding, it is a meaningful act of love that God sees and b...

Pastor Jack Graham offers encouragement for families facing strain, conflict, or the possibility of separation. He reminds us that in Christ there is always hope—God can restore what feels broken beyond repair. Through repentance, prayer, wise counsel, and the work of the Holy Spirit, marriages and homes can be renewed, healed, and strengthened again.

Pastor Jack Graham speaks to the joys and challenges of the empty-nest season. He encourages couples to use this time to strengthen and renew their marriage, while remembering that parenting doesn’t end when children become adults. He reminds listeners to keep praying faithfully for their sons and daughters—and to trust that God is still pursuing their hearts, even when they’ve gone their own way.

Pastor Jack Graham opens the parenting and family hour with a prayer for parents, grandparents, and children. He asks God to protect young people from the pressures and anxieties of the world, to strengthen families in love and faith, and to help adults lead by example as they shepherd the next generation toward Christ.

Pastor Jimmy Dorrell shares how God often uses humility, struggle, and even disappointment to help us distinguish between self-driven ambition and God-given purpose. As we allow the Holy Spirit to reshape our identity and perspective, we grow in compassion and discover that purpose is often found in serving others—especially those different from ourselves.

Pastor Jimmy Dorrell talks about the power of truly seeing and listening to others—especially those who feel overlooked or pushed to the margins. Instead of trying to “fix” people quickly, he encourages slowing down, showing respect, listening deeply, and building trust. Purpose often begins with simply knowing you matter to someone.

Pastor Jimmy Dorrell shares how every person—whether living under a bridge or in a comfortable home—is made in the image of God and carries inherent dignity. For those who feel forgotten, ashamed, or without direction, he reminds us that purpose is rediscovered through patient, caring relationships and seeing ourselves the way God sees us.

Pastor Jimmy Dorrell begins the purpose hour with a prayer that we would see the people around us the way God does—especially those who are overlooked, struggling, or marginalized. He asks God to give us compassionate eyes, servant hearts, and the courage to live out our purpose by loving others in tangible, Christ-like ways.

Pastor Tom Pennington closes the hour with a heartfelt prayer, asking God to free us from sin’s influence, deepen our love for Christ, shape our desires and character, and make us more like Jesus day by day. He prays that our lives would reflect Christ in such a way that our families and communities would see His truth and hope through us.

Pastor Tom Pennington explains what spiritual growth actually looks like over time. As we see Christ more clearly in Scripture and prayer, our affections begin to change—what we love and value shifts. Then our desires and decisions shift, and gradually our behavior follows. Growth is often slow and steady, marked by decreasing patterns of sin and increasing patterns of righteousness as God shapes...

Pastor Tom Pennington lays out a simple, biblical framework for spiritual growth: • Be rooted in Scripture — God uses His Word to shape us. • Actively pursue obedience — putting off old habits and putting on new ones. • Depend on the Holy Spirit — real change comes from His work in us, not from our own strength. • Pray continually — asking God daily to guard us from sin and grow us in maturity. Th...

Pastor Tom Pennington encourages those who feel stretched thin or emotionally exhausted. Instead of waiting for life to calm down before pursuing spiritual growth, he reminds us that seasons of stress are actually when we need closeness with God the most. As we grow in our knowledge of the Lord and obedience to Him, the Holy Spirit shapes our thoughts, responses, and inner life with peace and self...

Pastor Tom Pennington explains what spiritual growth actually means—and why it’s more than simply checking boxes like church attendance or Bible reading. God’s goal is to shape our character to be like Christ, and true spiritual maturity is an ongoing, intentional process that reflects genuine spiritual life.

Bob Wheatley offers guidance for married believers on how to support and encourage the single people in their lives. Rather than seeing singleness as a problem to be solved or a season to “get through,” he urges the Church to recognize the purpose, calling, and spiritual advantage that singleness can hold—and to champion singles as valued partners in the work of God.

Bob Wheatley speaks openly about the loneliness that can accompany singleness—and how painful seasons don’t always mean harmful ones. He encourages singles to trust that God is shaping them, strengthening their character, and preparing to work both in and through them in meaningful ways. Even in longing, God is present and at work.

Bob Wheatley shares honestly about the longing for companionship, while also highlighting Paul’s encouragement in 1 Corinthians 7 that singleness allows for undivided devotion to the Lord. He reminds listeners that while the desire for relationship is real and meaningful, singleness is not a lesser season—it carries purpose, availability, and spiritual advantage.

Bob Wheatley begins the singleness hour with a prayer for those who feel alone, overlooked, or uncertain about the future. He reminds single believers that this season is not a waiting room or a deficit, but a meaningful calling where God equips and uses them in unique ways for His kingdom.
