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.

The Heart of the Matter. (1 Samuel 16: 1-23)
In this episode, we journey into one of the most pivotal chapters in the Old Testament—1 Samuel 16, where God chooses David, a young shepherd boy, to be Israel’s future king. This is not merely a historical moment; it is a theological revelation. God displays His divine insistence on looking beyond appearances, searching instead for the one thing humans cannot manufacture: a heart aligned with Him.
Through Samuel’s quiet obedience, Jesse’s reluctant presentation of his sons, and David’s unexpected anointing, the narrative exposes a spiritual principle that runs through all of Scripture:
“The Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
We explore themes of calling, anointing, spiritual readiness, God’s hidden work, and the mystery of how God raises leaders. We also reflect on Saul’s decline, David’s rise, and the Spirit’s empowering presence — contrasting human kingship with divine kingship.
Key Themes Covered
- God’s surprising method of choosing leaders
- The contrast between Saul’s external stature and David’s heart
- The role of the Holy Spirit in empowerment
- Samuel’s obedience in fearful circumstances
- The hidden seasons of preparation that shape a servant of God
- Why God values character over charisma
