Send us a textWelcome back to The Bible Project Daily Podcast.Today we're exploring one of the most sobering of teachings found in the New Testament—Paul's shocking warning about the Lord's Supper in 1 Corinthians 11.You may have heard these verses read many times during Communion, but Paul didn't write them for tradition—he wrote them in response to a crisis. A broken church had turned the Lord's Table into a place of division and pride.Paul's words remind us that this simple act—bread and wine—is a proclamation of the Gospel. And how we come to the Table either honours or denies what Jesus has done.So let's slow down, open our hearts, and remember: this Table is holy ground.Episode Notes:Passage: 1 Corinthians 11:17–34Summary: Paul confronts the Corinthians over how they were treating the Lord's Supper—and his warning is both intense and deeply pastoral. In this episode, we unpack:Why their gatherings were doing “more harm than good”How selfishness at the Table contradicted the GospelWhat it means to eat and drink “in an unworthy manner”Why self-examination, humility, and unity are vital at CommunionHow this sacred meal continues to shape our faith and our fellowshipKey Verses:“Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.” (1 Cor 11:27) “Do this in remembrance of Me.” (1 Cor 11:24–25)Takeaway: The Lord's Table isn't just a symbol—it's a proclamation of Christ's death, a call to unity, and a moment to realign our hearts. This passage reminds us: the Table is for sinners, not the perfect, but not for the careless. So come. Examine yourself. Remember Jesus. Honour His people. And keep proclaiming His death—until He comes.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textWelcome:A simple question about head coverings leads Paul into one a tricky passage on worship, creation, and God's design for men and women. In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we tackle a challenging and often misunderstood text and discover why this chapter isn't ultimately about fabric or fashion, but about reflecting the order and glory of God when we gather to worship.Episode Notes:Passage: 1 Corinthians 11:2–16Summary: The Corinthian church asked Paul a question that feels distant to many of us: should women wear head coverings in worship? Paul's answer goes deeper than cultural custom and points us to:The divine principle of headship rooted in the Trinity.How creation itself reflects God's design for men and women.Why submission is not about value, but about order and glory.What it means to honour God's created order in public worship.How even small outward signs can point to cosmic realities.Key Verses:“I want you to realise that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” (1 Cor 11:3) “Because of the angels.” (1 Cor 11:10)Takeaway: This passage isn't really about hats—it's about the heart. Worship is meant to reflect God's design, the beauty of male and female interdependence, and the headship of Christ over His Church. Whether we wear a covering or not, the question is the same: Does my posture, inside and out, declare that Jesus is Lord?Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textWelcome:What do you do when the Bible doesn't give a clear “yes” or “no”? In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we unpack Paul's answer to one of the most practical questions in 1 Corinthians: “Can I, or can't I?” As Paul deals with eating food offered to idols, he also gives us more timeless principles for navigating the grey areas of the Christian life. Join us as we discover how freedom, love, and the glory of God shape every choice we make.Episode Notes:Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:14–33Summary: Paul's closing words on the “meat offered to idols” question give the church a framework for making decisions where Scripture doesn't give a direct command. In this episode, we explore:Why some “grey areas” are not as neutral as they seem.How idolatry lurks behind some practices—even modern ones.When to exercise your freedom and when to lay it down.How love limits liberty for the sake of others.Why the ultimate question is not “Can I?” but “Will this glorify God?”Key Verses:“Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.” (1 Cor 10:14) “So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Cor 10:31)Takeaway: Christian freedom is not the right to do whatever we please. It is the privilege to glorify God and love others in every decision we make—even in the grey areas.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textWelcome Back:Are you blessed? Most of us would say yes. But with blessing comes danger—the peril of privilege. In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we explore Paul's sobering warning from Israel's history in 1 Corinthians 10. How do we live under God's favour without becoming presumptuous? How do we handle spiritual blessings without drifting into complacency? Join us as we learn from the past and lean on the faithfulness of God in the face of temptation.Episode Notes:Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:1–14Summary:Paul reminds the Corinthians—and us—that blessing is not a guarantee of faithfulness. Drawing from Israel's story, he warns that spiritual privilege can become a snare if it leads to presumption. In this episode we learn:How Israel's blessings mirror our privileges in Christ.Why privilege can lull us into spiritual complacency.What it really means to “take heed lest you fall.”The promise of God's faithfulness in every temptation.Why the way of escape is often as simple—and urgent—as fleeing.Key Verse:“So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!” (1 Cor 10:12)Takeaway:Your blessings in Christ are glorious—but they are not a license to drift. They are a call to vigilance, gratitude, and humble dependence on God's faithfulness.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textIn this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we explore one of Paul's most interesting metaphors—the Christian life as a race. Everyone wants to win, but Paul tells us that in God's Kingdom, true victory comes through self-denial and servanthood. What does it take to be a spiritual winner? Join us as we unpack 1 Corinthians 9:19–27 and discover the surprising path to the prize.Episode Notes:Summary: Paul pulls back the curtain on what it means to “run to win” in the Christian life. Using the image of an athlete in training, he shows us that spiritual victory isn't about claiming our rights but laying them down for the sake of the gospel. In this episode we learn:Why Paul willingly surrendered his freedoms to win others to Christ.How self-denial is the surprising ingredient for spiritual victory.What it means to “run the race” with focus, discipline, and eternal reward in view.How chapters 8–10 form a single call to love over liberty and mission over self.Key Verse:“Run in such a way as to get the prize.” (1 Cor 9:24)Takeaway: Christian maturity is not measured by how much freedom you claim, but by how much you're willing to lay down—for the good of others and the glory of Christ. The race is on. Run to win.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textWelcome back!Today, we're tackling one of the most countercultural messages in Scripture: the call to willingly lay down our rights.We live in a world where everything revolves around my freedom, my voice, my choice. But Paul turns that upside down in 1 Corinthians 9, showing us a deeper way. He had every right as an apostle to financial support, comfort, and recognition—yet he surrendered those rights for the sake of love and the advance of the gospel.This isn't weakness. This is Christlike strength. It's the same pattern we see in Jesus, who gave up the glory of heaven to rescue us.Episode Highlights:Why the gospel calls us to lay down personal rightsPaul's radical example of surrender in ministryHow Christ's humility defines true Christian maturityWhy love must govern our freedomsThe eternal reward in giving up what you could claim now
Send us a textWelcome back!In today's episode, we explore a timeless moral tension: What do we do when our freedom conflicts with someone else's conscience? From meat offered to idols in Corinth to alcohol in our modern lives, the principle remains the same—love must guide freedom.Growing up, many of us were handed an unwritten moral code. But what happens when that code isn't black-and-white in Scripture? How do we navigate the grey?Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 8 teach us that knowledge—while important—can puff us up. But love? Love builds up. When others are watching, when their faith is at stake, Paul says: “If my freedom causes them to stumble, I'll lay it down.”This is not legalism. It's not a weakness. It's Christlike love in action.Whether you're navigating questions about cultural practices, personal liberty, or sensitive matters within your community, this chapter invites you to ask not just, “Is this allowed?” but “Is this loving?”Episode Highlights:
Send us a textWelcomeWelcome back to The Bible Project Daily Podcast as we continue our journey through Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. Today, we step into one of the most personal and emotionally complex passages in the New Testament—1 Corinthians 7:8–24—where Paul offers wise, Spirit-led counsel on marriage, singleness, divorce, and remarriage. Whether you're married, single, divorced, or widowed, this passage has something to say about your life and calling. Join us as we ask the question: Can we change our marital status?Episode Notes: Can We Change Our Marital Status?1 Corinthians 7:8–24In this episode, we explore Paul's pastoral and Spirit-guided wisdom on a deeply personal issue: relationships, change, and calling. Together, we consider:What Scripture says about widowhood, desire, and remarriageHow Paul speaks to the pain of divorce and the hope of reconciliationGuidance for Christians married to unbelieving spousesWhy Paul repeatedly calls us to “remain as you are”—not out of resignation, but out of a radical trust in God's sovereign placementHow to understand our past through the lens of grace and forgiveness, not legalism or guiltWhy your current status—whether married, single, divorced, or remarried—does not disqualify you from serving God faithfully and fruitfullyKey Message: Whatever your relationship story, God meets you there—not to shame you, but to walk with you. You are not sidelined. You are called.Verse to Remember: “Each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.” – 1 Corinthians 7:24Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textWelcome to the Episode:In today's episode, we explore a question that's as old as the Church itself: Should I get married—or stay single? It's a question shaped by culture, personal longing, and spiritual calling. We turn to 1 Corinthians 7:1–7 to hear Paul's wise, pastoral, and often surprising counsel on marriage, celibacy, sex, and the spiritual gift of each.Whether you're married, single, widowed, or unsure of what's next—this conversation is for you. Let's challenge cultural assumptions, reframe singleness as a calling, and re-centre marriage as a covenant of mutual love and responsibility.Episode NotesKey Themes:Challenging Cultural Assumptions: Our world links happiness with romance—but Scripture has a different vision for human flourishing.Marriage and Celibacy as Gifts: Paul affirms both marriage and singleness as God-given callings—not commands or defaults.Intimacy and Responsibility in Marriage: Marital intimacy is a mutual, sacred duty—not a bargaining chip or personal right.Celibacy Is Not Second-Class: Singleness is not a failure or waiting room for marriage—it can be a vocation of focused devotion to the Lord.Spiritual Discernment: The real question isn't “Which is better?” but “What is God calling me to?” Takeaways:You are not incomplete if you are single.You are not more spiritual because you are married.Sexual intimacy in marriage is a sacred, mutual obligation—not a tool for control.Singleness is not a delay of purpose—it can be the purpose.The key question: Do you have the gift?Final ThoughtIn a world confused about identity, desire, and devotion, Paul's pastoral insight cuts through the noise: God's will for your life isn't about your relationship status—it's about your faithful response to His calling.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textWelcomeIn today's episode, we're going deep into one of the most misunderstood and misapplied topics in the church: sex, freedom, and holiness. Centered on Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 6:12–20.This episode is about more than moral behavior—it's about identity, redemption, and what it means to honour God with our bodies in a culture that has confused liberty with license.What to ExpectA frank and compassionate exploration of sexual temptation and Christian freedomWhat it means that our bodies are “temples of the Holy Spirit”How Paul's words still speak to today's culture of moral confusion and self-justificationThe powerful truth that you are not your own—you were bought at a priceWhy Christian ethics are rooted in relationship, not just rulesKey ThemesFreedom with Boundaries: Christian liberty isn't permission to sin—it's power to live differentlySexual Ethics Rooted in Theology: Our bodies belong to the Lord, not to our impulsesUnion with Christ: We are spiritually joined to Jesus—what we do physically mattersHoliness in a Broken World: The call to flee immorality isn't fear-driven—it's freedom-givingGrace for the Fallen: No matter your past, the blood of Christ covers all sinScripture Focus“You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honour God with your bodies.” — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20Final WordThis episode challenges all of us—single, married, struggling, victorious—to rethink not just what we do, but who we are. You are not defined by your failures, but by the One who paid for you. Glorify Him not only with your words, but with your whole life—including your body.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textWelcomeWhat should a Christian do when wronged by another believer? In today's episode, we explore Paul's surprisingly radical teaching in 1 Corinthians 6 about how Christians are to approach conflict, especially when it involves legal disputes.We're reminded that our calling isn't just to win in court, but to walk in the way of Christ — even if that means choosing to be wronged for the sake of unity, witness, and love.
Send us a text Episode Summary:In this thought-provoking episode, we explore Paul's diagnosis of division within the Corinthian church—and uncover its root cause: pride.The Corinthians were puffed up, aligning themselves with particular leaders, boasting in personalities rather than humbling themselves before Christ. Paul peels back the layers of this problem, showing that beneath all the quarreling and factionalism lies a dangerous self-satisfaction.But Paul doesn't stop at diagnosis. He also offers the cure—a call to humility, to imitate Christ through the example of the apostles. Through vivid imagery, biting irony, and fatherly love, Paul reminds us that everything we have is a gift of grace. And when we forget that, pride flourishes and unity suffers.
Send us a textWelcome:In this episode, we unpack Paul's teaching on what true leadership in the church looks like. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3:6 to 4:5, Paul gives us three vivid metaphors to describe church leaders: gardeners, builders, and stewards. Through these images, we are reminded that leadership is not about status, showmanship, or superiority—it is about humble, faithful service to God. The Corinthian church was dividing over personalities and styles of preaching, but Paul resets the focus. It is God who gives growth, Christ who is the foundation, and the Lord who judges and rewards faithfulness.Key Points:Leaders Are Gardeners (3:6-9):They plant and water, but only God gives the growth.Ministry is about patience and service, not celebrity.Leaders Are Builders (3:10-17):Christ is the only foundation.Ministry must be built with lasting, spiritual materials (gold, silver, precious stones).What is built will be tested by fire.Careless or corrupt ministry will result in loss or judgment.Leaders Are Stewards (4:1-5):They are entrusted with God's mysteries.Faithfulness is what matters most, not impressiveness.Final judgment belongs to the Lord, who alone sees and rewards rightly.Reflections:Have you placed too much importance on a leader or preacher, rather than on Christ?Are you building your own ministry or spiritual life with materials that will last?Do you find encouragement in the truth that faithfulness—not success—is what God rewards?Encouragement for Leaders:Be faithful with what God has given you, no matter how small or unseen it may seem.Don't be consumed by comparison, criticism, or the applause of others.Your praise will come from God, in His time.Encouragement for Congregations:Don't idolize or tear down preachers; they are servants, not saviours.Be grateful for those who minister to you.Look beyond the personality to the gospel foundation they lay.Application:Pray for your leaders.Examine your own heart for pride or comparison.Build your life on Christ, and serve with the right motives.Closing Thought:Don't waste time evaluating everyone else's ministry. Instead, be faithful. Serve humbly. Build wisely. And trust that your praise will come from God.Subscribe & Share:If this episode encouraged you, consider sharing it with someone else, leaving a review, or subscribing to hear more.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Send us a textWelcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast—where we journey together through the whole Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. In today's episode, we continue unpacking one of the most profound and challenging sections in all of Scripture.We're looking at 1 Corinthians 1:18 through to 2:5, where the apostle Paul lays bare the very heart of the Christian faith: Christ crucified. This message—often seen as foolish by the world—is the very power and wisdom of God.But more than that, Paul shows us how the message of the cross levels all human pride, calls us to unity, and sets the foundation for true Christian living. Whether you're curious about Christianity or have been walking with Christ for years, this passage confronts and comforts in equal measure.
Send us a textWelcome: Hello and welcome back to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. Today, we continue our 40-day journey through 1 Corinthians—a letter for the modern church, if ever there was one.In this episode, we'll witness something astonishing: Paul gives thanks for a church in crisis. Before addressing the many failings of the Corinthian believers, Paul stops to thank God for His grace at work in them—and in doing so, models how we too should begin not with condemnation, but with praise and confidence in God's faithfulness.

I hope you find it interesting.Study Notes: "Superstition and Fear - Faith and Hope"Episode Overview:Key Topics:Definition and characteristics of superstition.The biblical definition of faith.The influence of superstition on modern life.Enlightenment perspectives on superstition and faith.Practical steps to cultivate biblical faith.Distinguishing Superstition from Faith:Superstition is an attempt to control uncertain circumstances through human means rather than trusting in God's sovereign will.Faith involves a relationship with God characterized by trust, obedience, and reliance on His wisdom and timing (Proverbs 3:5-6).Practical Steps to Cultivate Biblical Faith:Immerse Yourself in Scripture:Romans 10:17: "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."Regularly read and meditate on the Bible.Pray Continually:Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."Use prayer to express trust in God and seek His guidance.Fellowship with Believers:Hebrews 10:24-25: "Consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together."Be part of a community for support and encouragement.Obey God's Commands:James 2:17: "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."Demonstrate faith through obedience and practical action.Conclusion:Understanding the difference between superstition and faith is essential for a vibrant and biblically grounded Christian life. Superstition seeks control through human means, while faith places trust in God's sovereignty. Cultivating a biblical faith involves immersing in Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and obedience to God's commands.Thank you for listening to this bonus episode.

Send us a textWelcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. Today, we reach the final chapter of Judges—a disturbing yet powerful conclusion that forces us to ask: How do we know what's truly right? The Israelites believed they were doing the right thing, but ended up compounding injustice with more and more sin. In this episode, we reflect on the dangers of relying on our own judgment, and the call to seek what pleases the Lord. Because when we do what is right in our own eyes, we often miss what's right in His.
Send us a textWelcome:This episode looks at how Israel, in the aftermath of a horrifying crime, rushes to act — with justice on their side but without first waiting on God. Their initial victories turn tragic, resulting in staggering losses and a near-eradication of a tribe. The story reveals a critical truth: even when we do the right thing, we can get it terribly wrong if we get ahead of God.Key Verse:“Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” — John 15:5Takeaway: Justice without God becomes vengeance. Zeal without wisdom leads to ruin.

Send us a textWarning Very Explicit Biblical Content. Listener discretion required. Not suitable for Children or vulnerable adults.It's Time to Speak UpLet me end with one final observation — and I believe it comes straight from the last verse of this dark, sobering chapter. It says: “Consider it, confer on it, then speak up.” That's the call.So when is it time to speak?Let me give you some biblical guidance — a few situations where God's people must raise their voices.1. Speak Up When There's InjusticeThat's the heart of this passage. A woman was brutally abused and killed, and the question is raised: What will Israel do about it?What will you do?If you see injustice — in your community, in your workplace, in your neighbourhood — you don't sit back. You say something.God's people are called to stand for justice — not just pray about it, but speak into it.2. Speak Up When People Are in DangerThe men of Gibeah weren't just wicked. They were dangerous. Do you think what happened that night would be the last time they acted like that?And so it's time to speak up — to prevent further harm.If you have a friend drinking themselves into despair… If someone you know is spiraling in addiction… If someone is caught in a destructive relationship or lifestyle… Love says something. Silence is not kindness. Sometimes silence is complicity.So yes — for their good, for their soul — say something.3. Speak Up About JesusMost importantly: speak up about the only true hope — Jesus Christ.The solution to the mess we're in isn't better laws. It's not moral behavior. It's spiritual transformation.That's why we need to speak.People need the Lord. That's not cliché — it's reality. He's the only one who can rescue this culture, this country, and any human soul from the cliff it's racing toward.So yes, speak up. And don't worry about the labels.Today, if you say anything unpopular, you're called a bigot. A phobe. A hater.This isn't on it andut hate. It's about holiness. It's about a God in heaven who wrote this Book — and who still speaks through it.If this Book is true, then we must speak. If it's not, then anything goes.But I believe it's true. And I believe it's time to speak.Closing WordsYou've heard it before. But it bears repeating. Edmund Burke once said:“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”So, brothers and sisters in Christ — Consider it.

Send us a textWelcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. Today, we're looking at Judges 18 — a sobering account of how a whole tribe, the Danites, slowly walked away from the Lord. This isn't just a story of ancient idolatry; it's a powerful warning about what happens when God's people stop trusting His Word and start crafting a religion that suits their own desires. From misplaced trust to spiritual shortcuts, the story of Dan holds up a mirror to our own lives. Let's walk through this passage together — and ask: Are we truly walking with God, or just going through the motions?Summary: In this episode, we follow the tragic path of the tribe of Dan as they forsake God's promise and pursue their own plan. Instead of claiming their God-given inheritance, they seek out easier alternatives — and end up embracing idolatry. Through their journey, we see the subtle danger of drifting from the Lord, the consequences of compromised worship, and the challenge to return to genuine trust and obedience.Key Verse:“In those days Israel had no king; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” — Judges 18:1Takeaway: True worship isn't about convenience or appearance — it's about obedience, trust, and the real presence of God. If you've wandered, there's still time to return.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textWelcome back to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. In today's episode, we look at one of the most unsettling—and relevant—chapters in the book of Judges. We meet a man named Micah who builds an entire religion based on what feels right to him, even while invoking the name of the Lord. It's a powerful reminder that sincerity is not the same as truth, and that the way that seems right can lead to destruction. Join me as we explore Judges 17:1–13 and consider what happens when people stop following God's Word and start following their own eyes.

Send us a textWelcomeThanks for pressing play! In today's journey through Judges we meet Samson—the gifted judge who could tear lions to shreds, yet couldn't rein in his own appetite. His life is a walking paradox: Spirit-empowered, vow-bound … and willfully compromised. The big question we're chasing: How can a holy God work through people who are anything but holy? If you've ever felt the tension between your calling and your failures, Samson's story is your mirror—and your hope.Episode Notes1. Three Snapshot Scenes1. **The Woman (vv. 1-4)** “She is right in my eyes.” – Samson • Impulse over covenant • Echo of the book's theme: *“Everyone did what was right in his own eyes”* (Judg 21:25).2. **The Lion (vv. 5-9)** • Spirit-given strength vs. self-given silence • Touches a carcass twice, quietly breaking his Nazirite vow.3. **The Riddle (vv. 10-12)** • A seven-day drinking feast among Philistines • “Out of the eater came something to eat…”—turning sin's secrecy into gambling capital.2. Big Truths to Chew On| Truth | Why It Matters || God's sovereignty bends even sinful choices into redemptive purposes (v. 4). | Your failures don't write the final chapter. || Charisma without character caves in. | Spiritual gifting ≠ spiritual maturity. || “Right in my eyes” is the default of a leaderless heart. | We all need a better King than ourselves. |3. Reflection Questions1. Where do you rely on gifting while neglecting character? 2. Which appetites currently drive your “sight-based” decisions? 3. How have you seen God redeem a bad choice you made? 4. In what area do you need to swap *“right in my eyes”* for *“right in God's eyes”* this week?### 4. Practice This Week• 30-Minute Audit:** List recent decisions. Mark each *S* (sight) or *F* (faith). Pray over the *S's.* • Honey Fast:** Skip your go-to comfort snack/beverage for three days. Each craving = a cue to pray, “Lord, master my appetites.” • Accountability Text:** Ask a trusted friend, “What blind-spot do you see in me that I justify as ‘right in my eyes'?”6.

Send us a textWelcome to today's episode, where we dive into Judges 13—the beginning of Samson's remarkable story. In a time of Israel's deep spiritual decline, we witness a divine intervention: the angel of the Lord announces the birth of a deliverer. But Samson's arrival isn't just a story of hope—it's a tale of consecration, purpose, and the tension between human weakness and divine calling. What does this chapter reveal about God's ways? And how does it set the stage for the turbulent life of one of Israel's most enigmatic leaders, and asks the question, are there times when even God's Blessings Are Not Enough.Let's explore.

Send us a textWelcome:Have you ever seen a disagreement spiral—not because of what was at stake, but because of how it was handled?In this short but sobering episode, we open Judges 12 to examine the tragic story of Jephthah and the Ephraimites—a civil war sparked not by justice, but by ego, exclusion, and pride. What unfolds is a confrontation where spiritual language masks carnal motives, and people use power, relationships, and wealth for personal gain rather than godly service.But this isn't just ancient history.It's a mirror. And it asks us hard questions: — How do we respond when we feel overlooked? — Are we serving quietly and faithfully like Elon—or chasing applause? — Do we lead with humility, or dominate in disguise?This chapter shows us the dangers of being conformed to the age we live in—and the call to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).Join us as we trace these themes through the stories of Jephthah, Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon—and learn what true spiritual leadership, grace, and quiet faithfulness look like.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textIn today's episode, titled “When the Lord Gets Fed Up with People,” we explore a sobering but ultimately hope-filled chapter in the book of Judges. Have you ever wondered if God gets tired of forgiving people who keep making the same mistakes? In Judges 10, we see a people caught in the destructive cycle of sin—and a God whose mercy runs deeper than their rebellion.This chapter doesn't just show us the consequences of sin; it reveals the astonishing heart of God. Even when His people have broken faith again and again, we read that “His soul could no longer endure the misery of Israel.” What kind of God responds like that?Today's message will challenge, convict, and comfort you. Whether you're feeling distant from God or weighed down by your failures, this passage offers a profound reminder: your misery can still stir God's mercy.

Send us a textIn todays episode we look at all of Judges Chapter 8 and follow Gideon's pursuit of the Midianite kings, Zebah and Zalmunna, after his initial victory. As Gideon and his men chase the remaining enemy forces, he requests food from the people of Succoth and Penuel, but they refuse, fearing Midianite retaliation. Gideon promises to return and punish them for their refusal.After capturing Zebah and Zalmunna, Gideon executes them, avenging his brothers' deaths. The Israelites then ask Gideon to rule over them, but he declines, stating that the Lord alone should reign. However, hypocritically he makes an ephod from the gold collected from the defeated Midianites, which becomes an object of idolatry.Because of this following Gideon's death, Israel quickly returns to worshiping Baal, forgetting the deliverance God provided through Gideon. The chapter highlights themes of leadership, the dangers of idolatry, and Israel's cycle of faithfulness and rebellion.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textGideon's story in Judges 7 illustrates how God strengthens faith by reducing reliance on human resources, teaching trust in His provision. Facing overwhelming odds, Gideon's army was reduced from 32,000 to 300 men, showing that victory comes through God, not human strength. God built Gideon's faith through His Word and unexpected encouragement. The lesson emphasizes trusting God fully, staying courageous, focused, and giving Him glory, while relying on Scripture and support from fellow believers.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

This isn't just a tale of ancient battles or fleeces and signs. It's a powerful reminder that God meets us where we are and gently leads us into His purposes. And it's also a call to trust His Word, His Spirit, and His sovereign guidance over mystical signs and emotional impressions.Whether you're in a place of spiritual hiding or standing on the edge of a big decision, Gideon's story offers timeless wisdom and a whisper of hope: God sees more in you than you see in yourself—and He is with you.

How do we mark moments of breakthrough and deliverance? This episode invites us to learn from Deborah's song and rediscover how praise—public, joyful, radical praise—can become our response to the goodness of God.

Living in the heart of the Islamic world yet shaped by deep Christian conviction, John stood at a critical juncture in church history. Amidst imperial decrees and theological upheaval, he became a bold defender of Christian doctrine and a powerful voice for truth against the rise of Islam.Best known for his defence of icons, John's writings anchored Christian worship in the incarnation of Christ—proclaiming that the Word made flesh can and should be represented visually. Through his theological masterpiece, The Fountain of Knowledge, and his uncompromising witness under pressure, John of Damascus helped preserve and articulate the faith during a time of intense controversy.Join us as we reflect on his life, legacy, and what his courageous stand means for us today.

We look at how these world views interact and challenge one another, particularly in the context of contemporary societal issues.Key Concepts:Modernism: A 20th-century movement emphasizing experimentation, abstraction, and subjective experience across various fields including literature, visual arts, music, philosophy, politics, and social issues. It arose from a sense of alienation from traditional morality and social norms.Postmodernism: An intellectual stance characterized by scepticism towards both religion as well as scientific rationalism and objective reality. It questions all "grand narratives", rejects stable meanings, and emphasizes relativism and pluralism.Slavoj Žižek: A Slovenian philosopher known for his work on ideology, Marxism, political theory, psychoanalysis, culture, and theology. He is critical of the contemporary appropriation of the term "wisdom.Biblical Wisdom: Rooted in Scripture, biblical wisdom I content is a divine gift characterized by moral purity and spiritual discernment. It transcends human understanding and emphasizes a deep, ongoing relationship with God.Main Discussion Points:Biblical Perspective on Wisdom:Tension Between Worldly and Divine Wisdom:Postmodernism vs. Biblical Wisdom:Modern Social Issues and Biblical Morality:Critique of Simplified Morality:Superficial Engagement and True Transformation:The Role of Ideologies:Christian Call to Authenticity:Conclusion: By engaging with complex philosophical and moral questions through the lens of biblical wisdom, we can seek deeper understanding and live more meaningful lives. This episode encourages listeners to explore these intersections critically and thoughtfully, always seeking to align their understanding with God's eternal truths.Scripture References:James 3:171 Corinthians 1:20-22Proverbs 3:5-6Colossians 2:3Isaiah 5:20Matthew 22:37-392 Corinthians 13:5Proverbs 2:3-52 Peter 3:18Genesis 1:27Galatians 3:281 John 1:8Revelation 3:15-16James 2:17Isaiah 58:6Ephesians 6:12John 8:32Matthew 7:3-51 Corinthians 3:192 Timothy 3:5Matthew 6:24Matthew 7:26-27Isaiah 55:2Matthew 23:27-28Matthew 6:24Proverbs 3:5-6John 14:6Matthew 23:24Matthew 6:24Matthew 5:6Support the showFor an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
