How do we handle spiritual blessings without drifting into complacency? Joi...

Send us Fan Mail In 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 p...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome 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...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back! In today’s episode, we explore a timeless moral tension: What do we do when our freedom conflicts with someone else’s conscience?

But what happens when that code isn’t black-and-whit...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome 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.

Send us Fan Mail Welcome In today’s episode, we’re going deep into one of the most misunderstood and misapplied topics in the church: sex, freedom, and holiness.

Send us Fan Mail Welcome What 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.
