Your Jesus Journey Daily Bible Podcast with Pastor Thad
Have you ever felt lost trying to read the Bible? Maybe you feel stuck in your faith and just aren't sure where to go next. You're not alone. I'm Pastor Thad, and this is The Daily Bible Podcast. Every day, we'll dive into the books of the Bible, exploring the rich history, culture, and language that bring these ancient texts to life. With over 20 years of teaching experience and time spent in Israel and Turkey, I'll share what I've learned to help you connect with the bigger picture and discover things that aren't so obvious for us modern readers. The Bible isn't just for Sunday; it's our daily guide, so let's get to it.
Episodes
“You Are Enough” is a modern worship song inspired by Psalm 131—a simple reminder that we don’t have to understand everything, control everything, or get everything we want. Like a child resting quietly with a parent, we can quiet our souls, let God be God, and simply trust Him.
You don’t have to have all the answers. God is enough.
Still I Walk was inspired by the raw honesty of Psalm 129 and one of the most important lessons we can learn about perseverance: perseverance is endurance with direction.
The Psalmist doesn't pretend the pain never happened. He remembers the wounds. He remembers the scars. He describes his back as though someone had plowed deep furrows across it. Biblical perseverance isn't denying what ha...
“You Surround Us” was written from the powerful picture found in Psalm 125:
“Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, both now and forever.” — Psalm 125:2 NLT
Psalm 125 doesn’t promise that following God means the road will always be easy. There will be seasons when everything around us feels shaky, when evil seems to...
“Where Are They Taking You?” was inspired by Philippians 3:17–4:1 and Paul's reminder that everybody follows somebody. The people we watch, admire, listen to, and imitate slowly shape the direction of our lives.
Our hope is that this song sticks with you and creates a simple question whenever you choose who gets influence in your life: Where are they taking me? Don't just...

Jesus Above Everything was inspired by one of the oldest worship songs in Christian history—the beautiful hymn Paul included in Philippians 2:5–11. Written just a few decades after Jesus' resurrection, these words reminded the believers in Philippi of who Jesus is, what He willingly did for us, and why He alone deserves our worship.
Paul didn't include this hymn simply to teach...
"Buried with Christ" was inspired by the New Testament's beautiful picture of baptism—not simply as a personal milestone, but as a public declaration that our old life has been buried with Christ and we have been raised to walk in a new life (Romans 6:3–4).
This song is a reminder that following Jesus is more than believing a set of truths. It's a lifelong journey of surrender,...
We love finding new ways to help God's Word stick with us. This original song tells the story of Philippians through music, bringing the people, places, and message of this letter to life. My prayer is that every time you hear it, you'll remember the story—and remember that the gospel is still working today. Enjoy!
Clothed in Grace is inspired by Colossians 3:12–17, where the Apostle Paul encouraged the believers in Colossae to stand firm in their faith during a time of false teaching, cultural pressure, and spiritual confusion. Rather than chasing new philosophies or trying to earn God's approval, Paul reminded them that they were already chosen, holy, and deeply loved in Christ.
Using Paul's powerful picture o...
