Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Walking in Righteousness - Speaking the Truth in Love. (Ephesians 4: 25)Saved by Grace, United in One Body. Earlier in this letter, Paul reminded us that it is: “By grace you have been saved through faith… it is the gift of God…” (Ephesians 2:8) We are saved by grace, not by our performance. And when we trust Christ, we become part of something bigger than ourselves — the Body of Christ. We are joined to one another. We belong to one another. We grow with one another. We serve one another. That's why Paul said yesterday our purpose is “…to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up…” (Ephesians 4:12–13)The Journey of Spiritual Growth. In yesterday's study, we were given three foundational principles: 1. Put off the old self“…put off your former way of life…” (4:22)Take off the old habits, the old attitudes, the old patterns of sin — like taking off an old coat. 2. Renew your mind“…be made new in the attitude of your minds…” (4:23)Let Scripture reshape your thinking so you begin to think God's thoughts rather than simply reacting to the world around you. 3. Put on the new self“…put on the new self, created to be like God…” (4:24)Replace old vices with new virtues. Replace old habits with new patterns. Replace old ways of speaking with new ways of speaking. But now — beginning in verse 25 — Paul gets specific. He gives us five concrete examples of what spiritual growth looks like in everyday life. And over the next five episodes, we're going to take each one in turn. And the first one — the foundation of all the others — is this found in this single verse, verse 25….

(Eph 4: 17-24)Some people grow up… and some people grow old. You've probably met both kinds.Some Christians grow up in Christ — they become wiser, steadier, more loving, more Christlike. Others grow old in Christ —attending church, learning the religious language, but never really changing. In this passage, Paul is urging us to be the first kind of people, those who grow up spiritually and become more like Christ. And he describes this growth using a phrase we've seen before: “Walking in righteousness.”Over the coming episodes, we're going to continue to look at the different ways Paul says we should “walk.” But today, we begin with this foundational one: Walking in righteousness… walking in holiness. So how do we grow spiritually and live righteously without becoming self‑righteous? How do we display holiness without becoming holier‑than‑thou? Paul begins to answer that in verse today's passage, Ephesians 4:17–24….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians, Hebrews, John, and Thessalonians)Today we're returning to a couple of verses we looked at in our last episode. (Ephesians 4:11–12) And some other New Testament verses, but you might be wondering why. Didn't we already cover this? Didn't we already talk about unity, diversity, and spiritual gifts? Yes — but now we're going to slow down and look at something far more practical: How do we actually serve one another?How do we walk in servanthood?How do we minister to real people in real situations?Every believer has a spiritual gift. Every believer has a calling. Every believer has a ministry. The only difference is the type of gift we bring. So today, I want to lay out some general principles that apply to all pastoral ministries. Principles that work in every situation, in every church, and in every relationship. And then I'll look at a few practical examples of how to support people in real‑world scenarios….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Walking in Unity. (Ephesians 4 4-16) Unity…. It's one of the most beautiful words in the Christian vocabulary — and one of the hardest to maintain. How do we keep good relationships?How do we preserve unity in our families, in our churches, and even across the worldwide body of Christ? Because division is a disease. Division drains strength from a family. Division weakens a church that should be strong. Division distracts a fellowship from its mission and forces it to turn inward, tending its wounds instead of reaching the world. .... And if division goes untreated long enough, it can even become terminal. So, how do we create unity among such a wide diversity of people who all call themselves followers of Jesus? I believe the answers are found right here in Ephesians chapter 4….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Episode Notes: Walking in Humility (Eph 4: 1-4)Welcome back, friends; it's great to have you with me again as we begin the next stage of our journey through the second half of Paul's letter to the Ephesians.For three chapters, Paul has carried us along on the moving walkway of God's grace, lifting us, blessing us, teaching us who we are in Christ, showing us the riches of His love, and strengthening us in the inner being. But now, as chapter 4 begins, it's as if Paul stands at the end of that moving walkway, holds up a sign, and says: “Now… begin walking.” And the very first step in that walk, the first movement of a life worthy of our calling, is humility. So today, we're going to explore what it means to walk in humility as Paul describes it in Ephesians 4:1–4. What does humility look like in real life?Why does Paul put it first?And how does humility become the foundation for unity, peace, and spiritual maturity?

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: The Characteristics of the Christian Life. (Overview of Chapters 4–6)Over the last few episodes, we've walked slowly and carefully through chapters 1 to 3 — the soaring theological heights of this letter. We've explored our calling, our identity, our salvation, our unity, and the immeasurable love of Christ. We've listened to Paul pray for us — that we would be strengthened in the inner being, rooted and grounded in love, and filled with all the fullness of God. And now, as we turn the page into chapter 4, something important happens. The tone shifts. The focus shifts. The direction shifts. The first half of Ephesians tells us who we are in Christ. The second half tells us how to live because of who we are in Christ. Paul moves from doctrine to duty, from belief to behaviour, from revelation to response, but before we dive into the details of chapter 4, I want us to take a moment and look forward at the whole landscape of the second half of this letter. Because Paul is about to show us what a life shaped by the gospel actually looks like.This is where theology becomes lifestyle. This is where belief becomes behaviour. This is where the gospel moves from the head to the hands, from the heart to the home, from Sunday to Monday and every other day of the week..So today, we're going to take a bird's‑eye view of Ephesians chapters 4 to 6 — to see the shape, the flow, and the rhythm of what Paul is calling us into….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Episode Notes: Staying Strong (Ephesians 3: 14-21)Welcome back, friends — it's a joy to have you with me again as we continue our journey through Paul's letter to the Ephesians. As we move into the second half of chapter 3, Paul does something beautiful and something deeply pastoral.He prays.Not strength for their bodies.Not strong enough for their circumstances.Not a strength for their finances or their health. But strength in their inner being. This is one of the most powerful prayers in all of Paul's writings. It is a prayer for spiritual resilience and inner fortitude. As well as for a heart rooted in love and a life filled with the fullness of God.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Episode Notes: Avoiding Discouragement When Times Are Tough. (Ephesians 3: 1-13)Today we come to a passage that speaks right into the heart of something every believer faces sooner or later: Discouragement. And what makes this passage so powerful is that Paul writes it from prison.He is cut off from the churches he longs to visit, living through circumstances he did not choose and cannot change, and yet he is not discouraged. In fact, he writes to the Ephesians so that they won't be discouraged on his behalf.I don't pretend to have all the answers. But today I can tell you how the Apostle Paul handled discouragement, because he faced it, he lived through it, and he wrote about it with remarkable clarity. And to see how Paul dealt with discouragement, we only need to look at what he says here in Ephesians 3….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Episode Notes: What to Remember and What to Forget. (Ephesians 2: 11-22)Now, as we move into the second half of this chapter, Paul does something very pastoral, very human, and very necessary. He asks a question. A question that every Christian, in every generation, needs to hear: How is your memory? Because Paul knows something we often forget: The Christian life is not only shaped by what we believe, but by what we remember.So, in this next passage, Paul gently takes the church by the shoulders and says: “Remember.”This is a passage about identity, but it is also a passage about unity, reconciliation, and belonging. It is about the God who takes strangers and makes them citizens, who takes enemies and makes them family, who takes scattered stones and builds them into a temple.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Episode Notes: Deeper Still - Returning to Ephesians. (Eph 2: 1-10 Again)Today, we're doing something a little unusual. We're going back into the waters of Ephesians 2:1–10. Back into one of the richest, most breathtaking passages in the entire New Testament. Because some passages of Scripture are like a shallow stream, refreshing, simple, easy to cross…. But others… others are oceans, and Ephesians 2:1–10 is such an ocean. We've already walked through this passage once, but the more you sit with these verses, the more you realise there is more here. This is a passage that refuses to be exhausted. So today, we're going back — not because we missed something, but because Paul has given us something so rich that it deserves to be savoured again. We're going to linger, and we're going to let the text speak again, and hopefully speak deeper. So, take a breath, settle your heart, and come with me again into the deep waters of Ephesians 2:1–10. Because sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is not press on with the project but to go back and listen again to what God has already said.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Episode Notes: From Death to Life - What are we saved for? (Ephesians 2: 1–10)If you've been following along, you'll know that the last few episodes have taken us up the mountain with Paul. We've stood with him as he blessed God for every spiritual blessing in Christ. We've listened as he prayed that the eyes of our hearts would be opened. We've explored the hope, the inheritance, and the power that belong to every believer. But today… He takes us down the mountain, back into the valley of human experience, back into the story of who we once were, back into the darkness from which God rescued us. Because before you can appreciate the height of God's grace, you must understand the depth from which He lifted you. Ephesians 2:1–10 is one of the most breathtaking passages in the entire New Testament. It is the gospel in ten verses. It is the Christian story in miniature. It is your testimony and mine, told with clarity, honesty, and astonishing beauty. This passage will tell us who we were, what God has done, and who we are now. So, take a breath. Settle your heart. And let's step together into one of the greatest passages ever written.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 1: 15-23)When Paul reaches verse 15 of Ephesians 1, something beautiful happens. He pauses. He reflects. And he gives thanks. He gives thanks, not for buildings, not for finance, not for programmes, and not for influence. He gives thanks for people — for their faith in Christ and their love for all God's people. These two qualities, Paul says, are the unmistakable marks of a true church. Not cleverness. Not the charisma of the leader. Not size. Not even success.... But faith and love.Faith in the Lord Jesus — a deep, living trust.And Love for God's people, a practical, sacrificial affection.Because Paul knows something we often forget. That you cannot love Christ without loving people, you cannot love people without being involved with them. You cannot grow in faith without other Christian believers.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Stepping Into Ephesus. Ephesians, Introduction and Overview.A messenger has arrived from far away. He carries a letter. Not just any letter, a letter from a man they have heard about but never met. A man whose reputation has travelled farther than he ever could. A man who has been beaten, shipwrecked, imprisoned, and yet somehow is still shaping the world. The letter is opened.And the room falls silent. This is the moment the church in Ephesus first heard the words we now call Ephesians. A letter that would outlive empires, reshape theology, and call believers across centuries to live in the light of their calling. And today, we begin that journey together through that letter.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailA Taster Episode from my "History of The Christian Church Podcast". 2000 years of Christian thought told through the ideas of its greatest thinkers....This is my latest episode: No 37. Episode, Season 3 - The Medieval Church - Episode 9.Welcome:What happens when the church becomes too clever? What happens when faith is no longer something to be lived, but something to be analysed? That is the world we stepped into with Peter Abelard in our last episode. But not everyone welcomed that change, because, amid that rising tide of intellectual confidence, another voice began to speak. His name was Bernard of Clairvaux. And these two worldviews would collide. The world of the philosopher…. and the world of the monk. Their conflict would not just shape their own lives, but it would shape the direction of medieval theology itself. And this still matters because, at its core, this is not just a story about the twelfth century. It is a story about every generation of the church. So, join me in today's episode…. As we step into the life, the passion, and the fierce convictions of Bernard of Clairvaux.The man who stood against the rising tide of intellectualism and called the church back to what, well, maybe to the heart of the Christian faith.For a complete list of sources and references used in the production of this episode, please visit my FREE Patreon page.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(2 Kings 23:31-25:30)Choices have consequences. Good choices bring good consequences. Bad choices bring bad consequences, and the Bible is full of stories that illustrate both.Some made wise choices, some made foolish choices, and the consequences were very different. The consequences are not always the same. We've been walking through the book of 2 Kings, the book in the Bible that traces the slow, tragic decline of the nation of Israel, and especially the southern kingdom of Judah.... And now we've reached the end. From the end of chapter 23 through chapters 24 and 25, we watch the final unravelling of the nation, king after king, bad choice after bad choice, and consequence after consequence. Today's lengthy closing passage will show us something important: Individuals can make wrong choices, and so can nations….And both experience consequences….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Avoiding God's Discipline. (Joshua 22: 1-20)God wants you to be His child. Not just in the sense of being forgiven, though that's where it begins, but in the sense of being a child who walks with Him, listens to Him, and enjoys His blessing.But once you become His child, God wants you to be an obedient child, just like any good parent wants their child to obey. And for that, He's given us an instruction manual…. It's called the Bible. But what happens when you step out of line? Well… what happens with any child? God, like a good Father, disciplines us. In the bible, God's people, Israel, had a long record of discipline; the Old Testament is full of this pattern. God redeemed Israel out of Egypt. He gave them the land, He blessed them abundantly, and He made them His people…. And then He gave them a long book — Deuteronomy — that effectively said: “If you obey Me, I will bless you.”“If you disobey Me, there will be consequences.” But they didn't listen. For hundreds of years, God warned them: And eventually, that's exactly what happened…. That's the story of 2 Kings. King after king after king…disobeying, drifting, rebelling…until finally God says, “Enough,”and the nation is carried into exile. But here's the fascinating part: One of the very last kings didn't get disciplined and that's where our story begins today. Because if we can understand why he escaped discipline, we can learn how to avoid it in our own lives….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: God's Amazing Grace. (2 Kings 21: 1-26)Several days ago, we looked at a king named Ahaz and asked the question: “How low can one go?” Up to that point in 2 Kings, Ahaz was the worst king Israel had ever had. He made alliances instead of trusting the Lord. He changed the worship. He embraced idolatry. And in the most horrifying moment of his life, he sacrificed his own infant son in the fire. How low can you go? Well… keep reading because the Bible introduces us to another king, a king who somehow manages to go even lower. His name is Manasseh, and what he does is so dark, so hideous, so spiritually twisted, that you almost want to say, “Viewer discretion advised.” You'll see it by the end of the chapter. It's a truth about the human condition. A truth about sin and a truth about grace, and I genuinely believe most Christians underestimate it.

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Responding to God's Amazing Grace. (2 Kings 20: 1-21)God's grace is amazing; we even sing about it. But maybe we say that so often that sometimes we forget just how astonishing it really is. The Bible says: “For by grace are you saved through faith… it is the gift of God, not of works.” But consider the backdrop of that verse. What were we really like before we came to Christ? But in some passages, it describes us as being in enmity with God — not neutral, not mildly indifferent, but opposed to Him. And yet, in that condition, God loved us. And God demonstrated His love by sending His Son to die for our sins so that we could receive eternal life as a gift. That is amazing grace.But that's only the beginning. God's grace doesn't just save us. Grace saves us.Grace strengthens us.Grace sustains us.Exceedingly.Abundantly.Above all, we could ask or even imagine.So, if God pours out grace like that, then how should we respond? There are many possible biblical answers to that question. But since we're walking through 2 Kings, chapter by chapter, we've now arrived at a moment in Hezekiah's life where God poured out extraordinary grace on him, and then Scripture shows us exactly how he responded. And tucked inside this story is something every one of us needs to hear. Something about our hearts right now, not just Hezekiah's…..Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(2 Kings 19: 1-37)Life has a way of surprising us. Most days are ordinary enough, predictable, manageable, familiar. But every so often, life throws us a curveball. A phone call.A diagnosis.A financial blow.A relationship crisis.A sudden loss. And when those moments come, and they will, the question is simple…. How do you handle a crisis?Today, we're going to look at a king who faced a crisis so overwhelming that the entire city of Jerusalem hung in the balance. And the way he responded gives us a pattern, not a complete list, but certainly an essential, helpful example of how believers can face the hardest moments of life.

(2 Kings 18 1:-37)Life is full of challenges. But for the believer, there is one challenge that towers above all the rest. A challenge that shapes everything else in your spiritual life. Trusting the Lord…. In all circumstances. And today, we meet a man who faced that challenge head‑on and stood tall. His name is Hezekiah.Hezekiah is mentioned not only in 2 Kings 18, but he is also covered in three chapters of 2 Chronicles, 29–32, and in Isaiah, chapters 36–39. In fact, more biblical material is devoted to Hezekiah than to any king other than David and Solomon. He is one of the most significant kings in Israel's history and one of the most remarkable examples of faith in the entire Old Testament. Over the next several episodes, we're going to walk through his story one chapter at a time for three chapters. In doing that, we will discover what made Hezekiah stand tall when others fell….

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: The Counterfeit Version of Real Religion. (2 Kings 17: 1-41)We use the word religion all the time; we say someone is “religious.”When we talk about “world religions", we usually refer to beliefs, rituals, and practices connected to a deity. Usually, when we use the word, we're thinking of the major systems of belief: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam But interestingly, the Bible doesn't use the word religion very often. The word, when translated in this way, appears only three or four times in the New Testament, and when it does appear, it's used in two very different ways: Sometimes negatively describes an empty, external ritual. Sometimes, positively, describing what James calls “pure and undefiled religion.” And if Scripture speaks of pure religion, then by implication, there must also be impure religion. Religion that looks spiritual… sounds spiritual… feels spiritual… but is actually defiled. So, what does impure religion look like and how does it affect us today? There is a story in the Old Testament that helps answer those questions with remarkable clarity and it's found in 2 Kings 17, I would say one of the most important chapters in the entire book, and a chapter that helps explain events in the New Testament, especially in the Gospel of John.

(2 Kings 17: 1-20)Now and then, we hear stories of people who have committed truly shocking sins, the kind that make you pause and ask: “How low can a person go?”When we ask it honestly, Scripture gives us insight, not just into the human heart, but into the grace of God, the consequences of sin, and the dangers of drifting. And today, as we continue our journey through the book of 2 Kings, we come to a king who sinks lower than any king before him. His story is disturbing. It's dark. It's tragic…. But it's also instructive.So, here's what we're going to do today. First, we'll walk through 2 Kings 16 and see just how far this king fell. Then, we'll step into the New Testament and ask what this means for us today. Two passages, but one very important lesson.

(2 Kings 14: 1-29)If you have a job, any job, you have an enormous spiritual opportunity. I'm not talking about making more money.I'm not talking about climbing the ladder or getting a promotion.I'm talking about something far bigger. I'm talking about the possibility that your job is one of the greatest spiritual platforms God has given you. What if your home, or your ministry, or your daily responsibilities, is the arena where God is shaping you into the best version of you?Because the principle we're going to explore today applies to every believer, in every season, in every responsibility.It applies to your job, yes — but also to your relationships, your Christian ministry, your decisions, your calling, and your character. To see it clearly, we're going to look at three kings in 2 Kings 14, and how God evaluated their “performance.”Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: When Christians Don't Really Believe. (2 Kings 13: 1-25)There's a strange and unsettling reality in the Christian life that we don't talk about very often. It's this: Christians don't always believe. Oh, we believe in God, that's not the issue. We believe the gospel, we believe the Bible, and we even believe the creeds sometimes. But when life presses in, when circumstances tighten, when fear rises, or disappointment lingers… sometimes Christians stop believing in God Himself. We stop believing His promises, we stop believing we have His presence.We stop believing in His power, and we stop believing in His goodness and the result is not atheism; it's something far more subtle. It is a life lived as if God were small, distant, or disinterested. That's the story of 2 Kings 13. It's a chapter about spiritual inconsistency, about half‑hearted obedience, and about people who know better… but don't live better. And if we're honest, it's a chapter about us. 2 Kings 13 offers us a reflection on the Christian life that sometimes is not very flattering. But it's also a chapter filled with astonishing grace because even when God's people don't believe, God remains faithful.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(2 Kings 11: 1-20)In today's passage, we have arrived at a moment where God's entire program. His covenant, His promise, His plan, is all hanging by a thread. One wrong move, one unexpected death, one successful assassination… and the line of David would be wiped out.... And if the line of David is wiped out, the Messiah cannot come. This is one of the most dramatic “knife‑edge” moments in the Old Testament — and yet the story is not ultimately about danger, it's about God's faithfulness, even when everything looks like it's about to collapse.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

There's a story in the Old Testament that gives us a surprising picture.It's the story of a king named Jehu, a man anointed by God for a very specific task. And the way he carried out that task shows us both the dangers of distorted religion and the beauty of obedience that is “just right.” The type of belief that is just a Fairy Tale.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(2 Kings 9: 1-37)We don't use the word very often anymore, but it's a deeply biblical word — anointing. Some preachers use it so loosely that you almost raise an eyebrow. Others hardly mention it at all. But Scripture is clear: God anoints people. In the Old Testament, prophets were anointed, priests were anointed, and Kings were anointed. And in the New Testament, John tells us plainly in 1 John 2 that believers, all genuine Christian believers, are anointed as well. So, the question becomes: What does it mean to be anointed? And what does that look like for us today? To answer that, we're going to look at one of the clearest pictures of anointing in the Old Testament. The moment when God anointed a man named Jehu. His story gives us a window into what anointing meant then, and what it means for us now.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(2 Kings 8: 16-29)Parents warn their children about the friends they keep. Youth leaders warn teenagers about relationships. And Scripture itself says that “bad company corrupts good character.” Why?Because relationships are powerful. They can lift you toward Christ… or quietly pull you away from Him. Today, we're stepping back into a passage that reads almost like a case study in the danger of unhealthy influence. Two kings. Two family lines. Two tragic stories.

(2 Kings 8: 1-15)If you're a follower of Jesus, here's something you need to know right at the start of this episode: God has a message for you. Not just one, but many, and He delivers them in all kinds of ways. The primary ways, of course, are through the texts of the bible. God wrote a book, and He filled that book with stories, stories about real people, in real places, facing real situations. And although those stories were written to them, they were written for us. Paul says exactly that in Romans 15:4: “Whatever things were written before were written for our learning…” In other words, when you read the Old Testament, you're looking at someone else's story — but it's meant to slow you down and prompt you to take note. Pay attention to both the narrative and the prophetic and consider how it fits with the world you see around you today. And today, in 2 Kings 8, we're going to look at three short stories, three moments where God had a message for three different people. But I strongly believe that the message He gave them is a message He wants to give you… So, let's see what God wants us to take on board today….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: The Sin of Remaining Silent. (2 Kings 6:23-7:19)As believers, we are usually very aware of the sins we commit when we do something wrong. We know when we've spoken harshly, acted selfishly, crossed a line, or broken a command. Those are what some theologians call sins of commission. But we are often far less aware of the sins we commit by not doing something, the things we leave undone, the good we withhold, the truth we never speak, the help we never offer. Those are sometimes called sins of omission, and believe me, Scripture has a great deal to say about them. As we continue our journey through 2 Kings, we come to a passage where both kinds of sin appear side by side. Some people in this story commit sins by what they do, and they do some terrible things. But tucked right in the middle is a group of people who sin by what they fail to do. So, let's walk through this passage together and see what it teaches us, not only about what we shouldn't do, but about what we must do….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

If 1 Kings is the book of decline, 2 Kings is the book of collapse.

(1 Kings 22; 41-53)According to the bible, children are called to obey and honour their parents. This is a clear instruction that forms the foundation of the parent-child relationship in early life. But the question remains: should you always follow your parents? Some may immediately agree, while others may hesitate or question this idea. The answer depends on who the parent is and in what area you are considering following them. This distinction is important, and as we progress through the book of 1 Kings, we encounter the final paragraph of the last chapter of 1 Kings in which are two stories are presented—each about a different king. What is most striking is that one king followed his father, and that proved to be beneficial, while another king followed his father and that had negative consequences.Now the topic itself is complex. Some do not have fathers, and this presents its own questions and challenges.
