**The Bible Journey Daily Podcast**

Why not make studying the Bible part of the rhythm of your daily life? The Bible Journey Daily Podcast is a 10-year plan to study through the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, 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 takes 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?

Deeper Still - Returning to Ephesians. (Eph 2: 1-10 Again) Jun 10, 2026

This 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: 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.

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.

A Church Worth Thanking God For. (Ephesians 1: 15-23) Jun 08, 2026

This 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: A Church Worth Thanking God For. (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.

Why Do People Go to Church? (Ephesians 1: 3-14) Part 2. Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

The Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

This is part two of a single, longer recording and message based on this one passage of scripture. Full transcript for both episodes is with part 1.

Episode Notes: Why Do People Go to Church? (Ephesians 1: 3-14)

Why do people go to church?

It’s a question we rarely ask out loud, but it sits quietly beneath the surface of every church on every Sunday morning.

Some people go because they always have, and their parents went. Some go because they feel they ought to. Some go because they’re lonely and some go because they’re hurting.

Some go because they’re hungry, not for food, but for meaning, for hope, for God.

…. And some — if we’re honest — aren’t entirely sure why they go at all.

But Paul, in Ephesians 1:3–14, gives us an answer that is far deeper, far richer, far more beautiful than any of those surface‑level reasons. He tells us that the reason we gather, the reason we worship, the reason we belong to a church at all… is because God has done something astonishing for us in Christ.

Blessing God by Blessing Each Other. (Eph 1: 3) Jun 03, 2026

Episode Notes: Blessing God by Blessing Each Other. (Eph 1: 3)

We now arrive at one of the most breathtaking transitions in all of Paul’s writings.

After the greeting — those gentle words of grace and peace — Paul takes a deep breath, lifts his eyes, and launches into a sentence so long, so rich, so overflowing with praise that in the original Greek it runs for 202 uninterrupted words.

And it all begins with this:

We are…. “In Christ.”

This is not a metaphor. Nor is it a poetic flourish or some sort of a spiritual slogan…. This is about the change of our humanity…..

The Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Episode Notes: A Good Place to Start (Ephesians 1: 1-3)

If the last episode was about lifting our eyes to the vast landscape of Paul’s world and God’s eternal purposes, today is about taking that first quiet step into the text itself. And truly, this is a good place to start because Paul begins not with instruction, not with correction, not with urgency, but with blessing.

He begins with grace.

He begins with peace.

He begins with identity, and that’s where we begin too….

Stepping Into Ephesus. Ephesians, Introduction and Overview. Jun 01, 2026

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.

Between the season Bonus Episode. A History of The Christian Church (Part 37) Bernard of Clairvaux. May 29, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

A 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.

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

This is a taster episode from my recent series on the history of Philosophy from my new 2026 podcast series. 'The Living In Faith Everyday Podcast'. (The L.I.F.E. Podcast).

This is my Bi-Monthly podcast that seeks to respond to and engage with the world of Philosophy and current trends in the Arts and Entertainment from a Christian Perspective.

Season 1 - Part 11. Zeno, Empedocles, and Anaxagoras - Paradox, Powers, and the Mind Behind the Cosmos.

This is the episode in which the Presocratic world becomes even stranger by the entry of three remarkable figures—each brilliant in their own way, each eccentric, each offering a different way forward.

Zeno of Elea — The Master of Paradox
He is the first philosopher to make the world feel like a glitch in the matrix.
Empedocles — The Poet, Magician, and Scientist.
It is poetry disguised as physics, or is it physics disguised as poetry, but it was the first attempt to explain change without denying permanence.
Then Anaxagoras — The Philosopher Who Introduced the concept of the mind
Finally, we arrive at Anaxagoras, the thinker who brought something entirely new into the conversation:
Nous—The Mind. and that behind creation stands a Mind, a Logos, a Creator.... So step into the world of paradoxes, cosmic forces, and the first philosophical vision of a universe shaped by intelligence….
