Daily Gains 90

Beginning the next section, the hosts examine 1 John 1:5: "This is the message... That God is light and in him there is no darkness at all". They emphasize that this statement is an exclusive, binary distinction, setting up the framework for the rest of the book. God's nature excludes all darkness. The resulting challenge for believers is that if they claim fellowship with this pure...

This episode focuses on 1 John 1:4: "These things we write so that our joy may be made complete". The hosts confirm that John's complete joy is realized when believers walk in unity and fellowship (with God and with each other). This mirrors Jesus’ own prayer for unity in John 17 and reflects God's delight in reconciled relationships. They emphasize that this biblical joy is anch...

Analyzing 1 John 1:3, the hosts note John's repetition of testimony but highlight the crucial addition: the proclamation is made "so that you too may have fellowship with us". This fellowship is simultaneously "with the Father, and with his son, Jesus Christ" and with the other believers. This emphasis signals that the Christian life is fundamentally communal, not lived &qu...

The discussion centers on 1 John 1:2, which states that "eternal life which was the father" was revealed, seen, testified to, and proclaimed. The hosts agree that John is likely addressing Jews who understand the Genesis creation narrative and Old Testament prophecies. They note that while John witnessed Christ physically, this eternal life is made manifest to current believers through t...

This episode begins the study of 1 John 1:1, focusing on the writer's physical, firsthand testimony concerning "the word of life": what they have heard, seen, looked at, and touched with their hands. The hosts clarify that this is not a "deep Bible study" but aims to apply historical context to better understand the message. They establish that John uses "the word of l...

You’re formally and cordially invited to join us on Jan 1, 2026 to kick off Season 5 of Daily Gains 90. Each weekday we’ll go through a verse from the letter of 1 John, Looking for how we may better understand, and apply this timeless epistle to our contemporary experience. Please join us, and invite someone to come with you. We’ll see you there!

The hosts confirm the translation they will use for Season 5. After a brief discussion, they agree to use the NASB (New American Standard Bible). They jokingly encourage any upset listeners to "rebel" and "Please share it in your rebellion" how upset they are about the choice. They also reiterate the upcoming January 1st kick-off date and invite listeners to bring a friend.

The hosts revisit the original purpose of the Daily Gains podcast. Their initial goal was to kick off the New Year with a dedicated "push to get into the word" and to "reset for Lent". This concept expanded to a 90-day period focused on "trying to get stronger and not falling back" into old habits, emphasizing that the best way to achieve this was to "get in the...

Pastors Jeremy and Joseph discuss the rationale for choosing First John for Season 5. Jeremy explains that he chose the book because it is both "very easy to understand and also very robust". Although the themes John covers are simple, they are "extremely robust" and difficult for people to walk out in daily life. Additionally, First John is a short book, allowing them to finis...

This episode serves as a pre-season preview, announcing the return of the podcast hosts,Dave and Jeremy, after being off the air for the past year. The hosts announce that Season 5 will focus on the Book of First John. The new format will feature one verse per episode, Monday through Friday, starting on January 1. They also note that listeners who are used to the previous schedule of two episodes...
