The Bible Project Daily Podcast

Pastor Jeremy R McCandless

Why not make Studying the Bible part of the rhythm of your daily life. The Bible Project Daily Podcast is a 10 year plan to study through the entire Bible, both Old and New Testament, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Season one is a short overview of each of the sixty-six books of the Bible. Season two launched our expositional journey through the whole Bible beginning with the book of Genesis. Thereafter each season take a New Testament/Old Testament alternatively until the project is complete. (God willing)  Why not join me on this exciting journey as we study the whole Bible together from Genesis to Revelation.

  1. The Essence of True Wisdom. (1 Kings 4 & 5)

    The Essence of True Wisdom. (1 Kings 4 & 5)

    Send us Fan Mail Today, we’re turning to 1 Kings chapters 4 and 5.   These chapters don’t just tell us that Solomon was wise—they show us what wisdom looks like in action. They give us a picture of how God’s gift of wisdom shaped a kingdom, organised a nation, built relationships, and prepared the way for one of the greatest projects in biblical history.  The writer of Kings, probably Jeremiah, structured Solomon’s story to highlight the fulfilment—or failure—of earlier prophecy. In Solomon’s case, the prophecy is in chapter 3, where God promises to give him wisdom. And that theme will run all the way through chapter 11.   In other words, the entire narrative of Solomon’s reign is, in a sense, a study in wisdom—how it works, how it blesses, and eventually, how it can be lost.

  2. If You Could ask for Anything, What Would You Ask For? (1 Kings 3: 1-28)

    If You Could ask for Anything, What Would You Ask For? (1 Kings 3: 1-28)

    Send us Fan Mail Imagine—just imagine—that God Himself came to you and said, “Ask Me for anything you want… and I will give it to you.”   Your first reaction might be, “Well, that’s not how God works.” And of course, you’d be right. But there is one moment in the Old Testament where God does actually do that for someone. God comes to a man and says, “Ask for whatever you want Me to give you.” And the way that man responds teaches us something really important about what we should desire—and what God delights to give.  That story is found in 1 Kings chapter 3….

    Who Put You in Charge. (1 Kings 2: 1-46)

    Send us Fan Mail Today we begin a new chapter—literally and figuratively—as we step into 1 Kings chapter 2. And this episode, I’ve made the title a question that I believe every one of us should ask ourselves, whether we think of ourselves as leaders or not: “Who Put You in Charge?”  Now, you may not be the president of a company. You may not manage a team or sit in a boardroom. But almost all of us, at one time or another, have been put in charge of something—or someone.  If you’re a parent, you’re in charge of raising children. If you’re employed, you’re responsible for your work. And even if none of that applies, you are always, at the very least, in charge of yourself—the choices you make, the character you build, and your direction in life.  So let me ask you the question: What kind of virtues does it take to lead well?    Because leadership—whether in a home, a workplace, a ministry, or a nation—requires something deeper than talent or charisma. It requires character. And 1 Kings chapter 2 gives us a front‑row seat to a father passing on that truth to his son….

    The Unlikely Winners In Life. (1 Kings 1: 1-53)

    Send us Fan Mail Life has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it?  And nowhere is that more true than in our spiritual lives. We look at people and situations and think, “Ah, that’s the person God is going to use.” And then—He doesn’t. Meanwhile, someone we would never have chosen, someone we might have overlooked entirely, becomes the very person God raises up.  So, how does God make His choices? And perhaps more importantly, how should we make ours?  That’s exactly the kind of question the opening chapter of 1 Kings invites us to explore.  So, settle in as we open 1 Kings chapter 1 and begin this new series with a story that reminds us that God’s ways are not our ways—and that His choices often surprise us in the best possible ways….

  5. Introduction and Overview of 1 Kings.

    Introduction and Overview of 1 Kings.

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome, friends, to a brand‑new season of The Bible Project Daily Podcast.   This new season marks the beginning of a fresh adventure. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be exploring the Old Testament books of 1 and 2 Kings, as I have set it out it seems the two books will take us around 50 episodes, teaching that I’ve drawn from my earlier sermons and bible studies these last decades, but revisited and now re‑crafted for this podcast format. These books of the kings are rich, complex, sometimes troubling, often surprising, but always extremely relevant.  They show us what can happen when leaders rise and fall, when faithfulness is forgotten and rediscovered, and when God remains steady even when His people are not.  But today, in this very first episode, we’re simply setting the stage for what is to come. So, settle in and let’s begin this new season together with expectation, humility, and a sense of wonder at what God might show us in His Word….

    Bonus Episode: Steven Pinker - The Blank Slate (2002). A Christian Reflection

    Send us Fan Mail This is a between-the-seasons bonus episode. I shall be back again on Monday to launch our new season on the book(s) of Kings. Back in October 2025, I read and studied. The Psychologist and Philosopher Steven Pinker's book 'The Blank Slate. As part of a study group I belong to. This is my reaction to it, first made available as a 'Patreon Only' bonus episode. Title: Beyond the Blank Slate. Episode Notes: The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker is one of the most influential and controversial books in modern psychology. Pinker dismantles three persistent myths about human nature — the Blank Slate, the Noble Savage, and the Ghost in the Machine — arguing that our minds are not infinitely malleable, but deeply shaped by evolution and biology. From a Christian perspective, this raises important questions. If his argument about human nature is real, what does that mean for morality, responsibility, and redemption? Can a scientific understanding of human nature coexist with a biblical one?

I shall be back again on Monday to laumch our new season on the book(s) of Kings.Back in April 2025, I read, listening too, and studied. William Langland's Medieval poem "Piers Plowman". As part of a reading group I belong to. This is my reaction,, first made available as a 'Patreon Only' bonus episode   "Piers Plowman", was first published in 1377 and in it Langland asks the eternal question. "How are we truly saved?"  This urgent question was particularly relevant when it was written 700 years ago because England was in the grip of the Black Death. But the question  is still echoing today. Join me as I explore a strange and stirring medieval poem that confronts hypocrisy, grapples with sin, and ultimately points to Christ's radical grace. Langland's riddles aren't just literary; they're spiritual challenges for our time.

    Taking Pride in Appropriate Things. (Galatians 6:11-18)

    Send us Fan Mail Throughout this letter, Paul has been in a battle — not a personal one, but a doctrinal one. These Jewish legalists have followed him into Galatia, telling these new churches that faith in Christ is not enough, that believers must also keep the Mosaic law — especially circumcision — to be right with God.  Paul has argued passionately, relentlessly even, that justification is by faith alone. Now, as he reaches the end of the letter, he picks up the pen himself and summarizes the entire controversy in a few powerful sentences.
