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?

In this episode, we consider the story of Hannah—a woman whose sorrow turned into song. Through her perseverance, prayer, and surrender, we learn how God uses human weakness to display His power. This is a story about the faith that prays through tears, the peace that comes through surrender, and the God who remembers His people.
Key Takeaways:
God answers prayer in His time and His way.
True worship flows from gratitude, not just need.
The Lord of Hosts is unlimited in His power and personal in His care.
When you surrender your pain, God can turn it into purpose.
Reflection Question:
What is one burden you need to pour out to the Lord today—and what would it look like to leave it with Him in peace?

In this episode, we explore the structure and purpose of 1 Samuel — tracing Israel’s transformation from a loose confederation under the judges to a united monarchy under David. Through the lives of Samuel, Saul, and David, we see how God establishes His kingdom and reveals what true leadership looks like: not self-rule, but submission to divine authority.

Welcome to today’s between-the-seasons bonus episode, in which I explore the fascinating—and deeply challenging—findings of Stanley Milgram's famous Obedience to Authority experiments and consider what they reveal about human nature, authority, and morality from a biblical perspective.
This post was originally made available as a special post for those who follow me on Patreon. patreon.com/JeremyMcCandless
Milgram’s research highlights the unsettling reality of how easily people can obey authority figures, even to the point of causing harm to others. As Christians, these findings prompt us to reflect on humanity’s inherent moral weakness, the biblical doctrine of original sin, and the importance of standing firm in God’s truth when confronted with ethical dilemmas.
We’ll explore questions like:
What do Milgram’s experiments reveal about the human heart?
How does this align with the Bible’s teaching on original sin?
How can Christians cultivate discernment and moral courage when pressured to conform?
Study Notes for Today’s Episode
Key Themes:
The Nature of Obedience: Milgram’s research reveals humanity’s tendency to conform to authority, even when it conflicts with personal conscience.
Original Sin: This aligns with the biblical teaching that human nature is inherently flawed (Romans 5:12; Jeremiah 17:9).
Moral Responsibility: Scripture emphasizes individual accountability for actions (Romans 14:12; Genesis 3).
Resisting Sinful Authority: Christians are called to obey God over human leaders when moral conflict arises (Acts 5:29).
Practical Takeaways:
Cultivate a Biblically Informed Conscience: Regular study of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and prayer help shape our moral compass.
Rely on the Holy Spirit: God’s Spirit empowers us to resist sinful authority and stand firm (Galatians 5:16).
When Things That Seem Right Are Really Wrong. (Judges 17:1–13)
Welcome back to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. In today’s episode, we look at one of the most unsettling—and relevant—chapters in the book of Judges. We meet a man named Micah who builds an entire religion based on what feels right to him, even while invoking the name of the Lord. It’s a powerful reminder that sincerity is not the same as truth, and that the way that seems right can lead to destruction. Join me as we explore Judges 17:1–13 and consider what happens when people stop following God’s Word and start following their own eyes.
📌 Episode Notes
Summary: In this episode, we explore the disturbing story of Micah—an Israelite who creates a counterfeit form of worship that looks spiritual but defies God’s commands. We unpack how idolatry, spiritual confusion, and religious compromise unfold when people do what is “right in their own eyes.” What begins as a stolen fortune becomes a home-built shrine, complete with a self-appointed priesthood and man-made rituals—all in the name of God.
However, this passage also holds up a mirror to our culture today, challenging us to ask: Are we truly obeying God, or just doing what feels right to us?
Key Verse:
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” — Proverbs 14:12
Takeaway: God is not looking for appearances. He is looking for obedience. The way of the cross is narrow—but it leads to life.
