Faithfulness to God can be challenging in a culture that pressures us to compromise. In Daniel 1, we see how Daniel and his friends remain devoted to the Lord while living in exile, trusting God to sustain them. In this message, Pastor Wesley Welch reminds us that God honors those who remain faithful to Him, even when obedience is costly, and uses their lives to display His glory.

Why did Daniel refuse the king's food in Daniel chapter 1? Was the Daniel Fast really about vegetables, or was something much deeper happening? In this episode of The 2KK Uncensored Podcast, Joe and Rachel take an honest, Scripture-first look at why Daniel ate the way he did in Daniel 1 — and why the modern version of the Daniel Fast often misses the biblical point entirely. Every year, especially in January, Christians search for answers about the Daniel Fast, what foods are allowed, whether it has to be plant-based, and how to "do it right." But when we slow down and read Daniel 1 in context, we discover the fast was not about food purity, dietary superiority, or earning righteousness. Daniel's food choice was about: Faithfulness in exile Identity in a pagan culture Obedience to God over cultural indulgence Drawing clear spiritual boundaries in Babylon In this episode, we unpack: Why Daniel refused the king's food and wine What the Daniel Fast was actually meant to accomplish How modern interpretations can unintentionally create legalism Why fasting was never supposed to be about food alone Whether someone eating keto or carnivore can still honor the heart of the Daniel Fast How focusing on intention, obedience, and discipline brings freedom instead of confusion This is an uncensored conversation about Scripture, faith, fasting, and health — without religious pressure, food guilt, or rule-based spirituality. Whether you follow keto, carnivore, low-carb, or are simply seeking biblical understanding, this episode reframes the Daniel Fast around the heart, not the plate. If you've ever wondered: "Am I doing the Daniel Fast wrong?" "Does fasting have to be plant-based?" "What does the Bible actually say about fasting?" This episode of The 2KK Uncensored Podcast brings clarity, context, and freedom back into the conversation. ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar Use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk Use code 2krazyketos for 15% off Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount) Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy

God's people are now in exile in the land of Babylon, which brings us to the book of Daniel, an extraordinary account of a young Judean exile who receives interpretation and prophecy from the Lord while serving foreign kings. Of particular significance in today's passage is the statue that Nebuchadnezzar sees in a dream. The statue's head of gold represented Babylon; its silver chest and arms: the Medo-Persian empire; the bronze stomach and thighs: the Greek empire; the legs of iron: the kingdom of Rome; and the mixed clay and iron feet: a continuation of Rome in later times. Finally, the rock represents the kingdom of God in Christ, as it easily destroys the manmade statue, enduring forever and spreading throughout the earth.Daniel 1 - 1:05 . 1:11Daniel 2 - 4:30 . 4:36Proverbs 26:13-28 - 16:05 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

John 19 tells of Jesus' crucifixion. The crucifixion followed the Lord's brutal treatment at the hands of Pilate's soldiers including the thrusting of a crown of thorns upon his head and the putting of a purple robe on him to mock our Master. How apt is it that in his dying he would remove the curse brought by Adam upon the earth; and his crucifying would be like the ram caught by his horns in Genesis 22. When Pilate hears the Jewish leaders' claim that Jesus is the Son of God Pilate's fear intensifies and he seeks for Jesus' release. Jesus makes it crystal clear to Pilate that Pilate is without power against Jesus and the greater sin lay with the Jewish rulers. These envious men clamour even more that Pilate must cooperate with their designs. If not Caesar would hear of it. Pilate caves in under pressure and allows Jesus to be led away for crucifixion. "We have no king but Caesar", they cry and forty years later their 'king' - Caesar - came and destroyed Jerusalem because of their blood guiltiness. The crucifixion occurs in the place of the skull - Golgotha (the location where David buried Goliath's skull, as we are told in 1 Samuel 17). Our Lord is crucified between two thieves - most likely these were Barabbas' men. In the three languages operating in Judea at the time - Aramaic, Greek and Latin - is inscribed over his cross i.e. stake "Jesus ofNazareth, king of the Jews". The Jews protest Pilate's writing: but Pilate, no doubt, glories in this small victory over the Jews and his inscription remains. The soldiers divide his clothes between them and they cast lots for his vesture in fulfilment of Psalm 22:18. The beloved women in his life eventually come near to the stake to see his death. And at this time Jesus commits his mother into the care of his beloved Apostle, John. Our Master dies with his final words being a citation from Psalm 31:5 - the quotation possibly being completed when Jesus emerges from his tomb three days later. Jesus' side is pierced by a Roman spear and out comes blood and water indicating that he has died from a broken heart. Unlike the thieves crucified with Christ not a bone of him is broken - he is the Passover Lamb of Exodus 12 and the subject of the prophecy in Psalm 34:20-22. And the Scripture in Revelation 1:7 will seem to be true when Jesus comes into his kingdom. Jesus' body is secured from Pilate by Joseph of Arimathea. Our Lord's body is placed by Joseph and Nicodemus in a new and unused garden tomb owned by the rich man, Joseph in fulfilment of Isiah 53:9.
In Babylon, Daniel lived in the king's palace in a city renown for it's culture and power. It was a culture that had behaviors and practices that went after Daniel's heart, seeking to pull him away from God. Listen to Dave speak to how Daniel protected his heart.

Nicole begins the new bible study series Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World with Daniel Chapter 1. Set in Babylon after God’s people are taken into exile, this story introduces Daniel and his friends as they resist assimilation into a foreign culture. By choosing faithfulness—even in something as simple as food—God equips them with wisdom and influence. Together, we’ll learn how to live faithfully in a culture that often presses us to conform, and how exile never has the last word when God is sovereign. What We Cover - Why Daniel and his friends refused the king’s food and what it teaches about holy resistance. How exile is never the end of the story—God works even in scattering. Why respectful courage matters when culture pressures us to assimilate. How God honors faithfulness with His presence and provision. Key Scriptures - Daniel 1 – Daniel’s faithfulness in Babylon. Jeremiah 29:4–7 – God’s call to seek the good of the city, even in exile. Exodus (background) – God’s promise to set His people apart. This Week's Reflection Questions: Where do you feel pressure to assimilate to “Babylon” in your own life? What might holy resistance look like for you this week? How can you seek the good of your city without losing your identity in Christ?
