Welcome to the “But first, Bible” daily devotional podcast with Dave Miers.
Our readings for today are Deuteronomy 31-32 and Luke 1:1-23.
Thank you for following along with this podcast! There have been over 20,000 downloads this year, and I’m always encouraged to hear of the way that this podcast is helping people to develop a bible reading habit of their own.

Take a moment to send a message to someone, or share via social media.
