The Bible Project Daily Podcast
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.

What Does It Take To Be A Winner? (1 Cor 9: 19-27)
In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we explore one of Paul’s most interesting metaphors—the Christian life as a race. Everyone wants to win, but Paul tells us that in God’s Kingdom, true victory comes through self-denial and servanthood. What does it take to be a spiritual winner? Join us as we unpack 1 Corinthians 9:19–27 and discover the surprising path to the prize.
Episode Notes:
Summary:
Paul pulls back the curtain on what it means to “run to win” in the Christian life. Using the image of an athlete in training, he shows us that spiritual victory isn’t about claiming our rights but laying them down for the sake of the gospel. In this episode we learn:
- Why Paul willingly surrendered his freedoms to win others to Christ.
- How self-denial is the surprising ingredient for spiritual victory.
- What it means to “run the race” with focus, discipline, and eternal reward in view.
- How chapters 8–10 form a single call to love over liberty and mission over self.
Key Verse:
“Run in such a way as to get the prize.” (1 Cor 9:24)
Takeaway:
Christian maturity is not measured by how much freedom you claim, but by how much you’re willing to lay down—for the good of others and the glory of Christ. The race is on. Run to win.
