April 13 – Faithful Are the Wounds of a Friend

In today’s episode, Pastor Cory Barnes shares a devotion from 2 Corinthians 13, reflecting on Paul’s closing heart toward the church in Corinth. After a letter filled with correction, Paul’s final words reveal that everything he said was motivated by love, restoration, and a desire to see the church fully aligned with God. This episode reminds listeners of the importance of having trusted people in their lives who love them enough to speak hard truths when needed. Though correction can sting, it often becomes the very tool God uses to bring healing, restoration, and deeper fellowship with Him. As we stay humble enough to receive loving correction—and courageous enough to give it when necessary—we position ourselves to walk more closely with Jesus.Today’s Reading:April 13 – 1 Samuel 25–27; Psalm 17, 35, 54, 63; 2 Corinthians 13
