The Bible Journey Daily Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Hi.  When the Apostle Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 15, he tackled one of the biggest—and most hotly debated—questions in the Christian faith: What really happens after we die? For the Corinthians, the issue wasn’t whether Jesus rose from the dead—they believed that. The problem was the resurrection of our bodies. Many thought it was impossible, undesirable, or downright absurd. In thi...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, we’re stepping into the closing section of 1 Corinthians 14 to tackle a challenging but essential topic: order in the church . From ancient Corinth to our modern congregations, the same struggles show up — division, misuse of spiritual gifts, and confusion about worship.  We’ll unpack why God calls His people to worship in a way that b...

Send us Fan Mail Few topics in the church spark as much debate as the gifts of the Spirit, and particularly that of speaking in tongues. Is it a private prayer language? A sign of the Holy Spirit’s baptism? A tool for evangelism? Or something else entirely? In this episode, I try and go beyond traditions and opinions to see what the Bible says. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14 and the prophecy of Isa...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Notes: In this episode, we explore Paul’s teaching on how the gathered church should function when God’s people come together.

We look at: Why every gift matters when e...

The Corinthians were struggling with the use of spiritual...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Notes:  Scripture Focus: “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love…” (1 Cor 13:1) Overview: Today, we explore the contrast between spiritual gifts and spiritual fruit. Paul’s words cut through eloquence, prophecy, and sacrifice to reveal the one thing that gives all things meaning: love. Not sentimentality, but divine agape—self-giving, enduring, a...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome: Today, we begin a new section in Paul’s letter to the Corinthians—one that has stirred conversation, confusion, and often controversy in the church: Spiritual gifts. But Paul’s goal here isn’t confusion. It’s clarity, unity, and edification. In these opening verses of chapter 12, Paul reminds us that every spiritual gift—no matter how ordinary or extraordinary—comes from...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome 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.

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.

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?
