Psalm 119: Prayer, Meditation, and Affliction (Episode 528)
28 oct. 2026
00:39:03
Daniel, Chad, and Erick explore three sections of Psalm 119 through Martin Luther's pattern for how a theologian is formed: prayer, meditation, and affliction. Their discussion shows how God's Word gives light, leads us to Christ, and anchors faith through suffering. Have a listen.
Daniel and Chad continue through Book One of the Psalms with two Davidic prayers that move from morning worship to tears, repentance, and refuge. They show how these psalms are not only David's words in his own life, but also words fulfilled and prayed by Christ, the Son of David. Have a listen.
In this episode, Daniel and Chad work through Psalm 3 and Psalm 4, showing how these prayers from David speak into real distress, guilt, fear, and trust. They also connect both psalms to the life of Christ, highlighting how David's words often reach beyond his own situation to Jesus. Have a listen.
This episode opens the first book of the Psalms by showing that Psalm 1 and Psalm 2 function together as the interpretive lens for the whole Psalter. Daniel and Chad unpack how these opening Psalms point to Christ as the blessed man, the King, the Messiah, and the Son of God. Have a listen.
Daniel and Chad finish their walk through the book of Daniel by moving from detailed historical prophecy into the more universal vision of the final opposition to God's people. They trace the shift in chapter 11, then move into chapter 12's resurrection hope and Daniel's final promise of rest. Have a listen.
Chad and Daniel walk through one of the most detailed prophetic chapters in Scripture, tracing the rise and fall of Persian, Greek, Egyptian, Syrian, and Roman power. They focus especially on Antiochus IV Epiphanes, whose actions set the stage for the abomination of desolation and the Maccabean revolt. Have a listen.
Chad and Daniel walk through chapter 10, where Daniel receives a vision so overwhelming that it leaves him shaken, speechless, and physically weak. They focus on the identity of the "man" Daniel sees, the spiritual conflict behind the vision, and how this chapter sets up the detailed historical unfolding in Daniel 11. Have a listen.
Daniel and Chad finish Daniel chapter 9, focusing on Gabriel's answer to Daniel's confession and plea for mercy. The discussion centers on the 70 weeks prophecy, but the main point stays clear throughout: God's answer to sin, guilt, and exile comes through the Messiah who is cut off and who brings in everlasting righteousness. Have a listen.
Daniel and Chad walk through the opening of Daniel 9, where Daniel reads Jeremiah, realizes the 70 years of exile are nearing completion, and responds with a prayer of confession. The episode focuses on how Daniel prays with Scripture, how confession works in the Bible, and why this chapter sets up the 70 weeks prophecy. Have a listen.
Daniel and Chad Bird walk through Daniel chapter 8, a vision that shifts from the Persian and Greek empires to the persecution of God's people. The episode explains how the symbols in the vision line up with historical kingdoms, while also showing why Daniel was left disturbed and physically drained by what he saw. Have a listen.
Daniel and Chad Bird continue through Daniel 7, focusing on the Son of Man vision and what it means for Christ, the kingdoms of the world, and the saints of the Most High. They connect the chapter to the Gospels, Matthew 28, Acts, Revelation, and the Bible's worldwide promise of salvation for all peoples, nations, and languages. Have a listen.
In this episode, Daniel's vision is explored in depth, revealing the succession of world kingdoms and culminating in the divine courtroom scene that points to the ultimate reign of the Messiah. Have a listen.
This episode follows Daniel's deliverance from the den of lions and connects it to the resurrection of Christ. The hosts also begin Daniel 7, a landmark chapter that introduces the four beasts and the Son of Man. Have a listen.
Daniel becomes distinguished above all the other high officials, and they are not happy about it. The only way to get rid of Daniel is to outlaw his faithfulness. And Daniel ends up in a den of lions rather than disobey God. Have a listen.
King Belshazzar has a great feast, and the hand of God crashes the party. Daniel is tasked with interpreting the handwriting on the wall. And this isn't the only time the finger of God carves out words of law. Have a listen.
Nebuchadnezzar has another dream, and only Daniel can interpret it. The king will be humiliated and become like a beast as God strips away his pride. And a stump is God's preferred thing to work with. Have a listen.
Malicious men seek to destroy Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. A fiery furnace is turned up to consume the three worshipers of God. A fourth man joins them in the fire. And whether God says yes or no, He is still the God of deliverance. Have a listen.
Daniel successfully interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream. A stone will break apart the kingdoms of kings. And an image is set up with a threat of death by fiery furnace for those who will not worship it. Have a listen.
Nebuchadnezzar has a dream that greatly troubles him. The king can't find anyone to interpret the dream for him, and he promises death for all the wise men. And Daniel requests an opportunity to go to God for the interpretation. Have a listen.
Chad and Daniel begin the book of Daniel in this episode. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah find themselves in Babylon with new names. The four young Hebrews stay faithful to God and find favor with the king. Have a listen.
On Pronomianism with Dr Rob Solberg Live from HWSS (Episode 508)

00:40:30
Chad and Daniel are joined by Erick Sorenson and Dr Rob Solberg live from Here We Still Stand, Northwest Arkansas, to discuss his work on pronomian theology. Have a listen.
Chad and Daniel wrap Isaiah in this episode. Only God chooses to save, but it is man who chooses to reject that salvation. Heaven requires you to become a child again. And in the end, God's victory is absolute. Have a listen.
People have been in sin so long that they wonder if salvation is even a possibility. Sinners need God to remember them but forget their sin. And God will always leave at least one cluster of grapes. Have a listen.
God shows up looking like He has spent time in a winepress. It's a good thing when God remembers Moses. And sometimes people talk to God in ways that surprise you. Have a listen.
God promises that righteousness and praise are going to spring up naturally. The language of bride is completely different from any other God. And the only way to be free is to be a slave. Have a listen.
God promises peace and righteousness with reign over His people. When God finally acts, He acts fast. And work will be entirely good in the new creation. Have a listen.
Don't turn back your foot from the Sabbath. God has big ears, long arms, and open eyes. And peace can ultimately only be found in one person. Have a listen.
Whatever you take refuge in is what you worship. God's anger is never wasted. And God, being non-transactional, has a different fast in mind. Have a listen.
The great Sabbath keeper is bringing salvation. God promises a name that is better than extending your memory. And some things are not worth finding renewed hope in. Have a listen.
God pays for everything that has to do with salvation. God's ways are not like our ways. And the Word always accomplishes what God intends. Have a listen.
God has good news for a barren people. A covenant better than the one made to Noah is coming. And all the children will be taught by the Lord. Have a listen.
In this episode, Chad and Daniel go over the most well-known chapter in Isaiah and the clearest description of the cross in the Old Testament. Have a listen.
God was never paid for His people, so they still belong to Him. The good news must be preached and published. And Isaiah is no theologian of glory; the cross must be proclaimed. Have a listen.
God wants His people to wake up because the arm of the Lord is rolling up His sleeves. In faith, there is nothing to fear from man. And living with hope isn't the same as living with a wish. Have a listen.
Trust in the Lord, or be like a garment eaten by moths. God dug His people out of the quarry of old Abraham. And a word is coming, but this word is wrapped in flesh. Have a listen.
The Lord is not a God who forgets. The Kingdom of God will be crowded as the chosen come from all over the earth. And God has a very long wingspan. Have a listen.
The Lord is a God whose teaching is profitable and who leads you to good places. God will have a people and will go to the coastland and rocks to do it. And it's better to bow than to be made to bow. Have a listen.
Being refined by God isn't usually pleasant. The best God is the promise-keeping God. And what does it mean that God will not share His glory? Have a listen.
A god that can be taken captive is no god at all. God will bring His righteousness near to a people of stubborn heart. And clinging to your enchantments and sorceries will not help you. Have a listen.

Cyrus will be the Lord's anointed, whether you like it or not. God hides Himself in unlikely people. And the day is coming when every knee will bow to God revealed in Jesus. Have a listen.
An idol has never profited its worshipper. There is a point where God will give you what you want. And an unlikely redeemer is coming from the Lord. Have a listen.
God shows Himself to be a bearer and forgetter of sins. Isaiah repeatedly moves between Law and Gospel. And Baptism makes an appearance in the words of the Prophet. Have a listen.
God has words for the deaf and things for the blind to see. Why does it sound like God talks out of both sides of His mouth? And the only true King and Savior is on his way. Have a listen.
There is a chosen servant coming who is not like anyone who has come before Him. The work of Christ is the blazing glory of God. And get ready to sing a new song, because God is going to do something new. Have a listen.
Those who trust in idols have plenty to fear. The friend of Abraham and the chooser of Jacob has not cast you away. And all the works of men will perish. Have a listen.
