  • Who to Kiss, Who to Hug and Who to Avoid. (Romans 16: 17-24)
    Send us a text👋 WelcomeWelcome back to The Bible Project Daily Podcast, where we journey together through the Scriptures, one chapter at a time. Today we’ve reached the final chapter of the book of Romans—and at first glance, it might seem like little more than a list of names. But as we slow down and reflect, we discover something deeper: a beautiful glimpse into the life, relationships, and spiritual vitality of the early church.📖 Episode SummaryRomans 16 isn't just a roll call of hard-to-pronounce names—it’s a profound reminder that real people, from all walks of life, were co-laborers with Paul in the gospel mission. In this episode, we explore the significance of names like Phoebe, Priscilla and Aquila, and others, uncovering lessons on hospitality, spiritual partnership, gender roles in ministry, and the unity of God’s family across social and cultural divisions.This passage shows us that the church is not a faceless institution—it’s made up of individuals, each with a story, each loved by God, and each playing a unique role in His kingdom.✨ Key ThemesThe invaluable role of women in the early churchHospitality and the home as centers of ministryThe diversity and unity of the early Christian communityHow God uses ordinary people in extraordinary waysThe beauty of spiritual friendship and co-laboring in Christ🙏 ReflectionThere are no “extra” people in God’s kingdom. Each name represents a life touched and transformed by the gospel—and each reminds us that we too are called to faithfulness, service, and love within our own communities.Signpost Inn PodcastStart with God's Grace instead of effort!

Their lives were mobile, yet always rooted in Christ.Diverse, Early Church Leadership:Jews and Gentiles, men and women, slaves and free, all recognized for their service.Women in Leadership:Junia is likely referred to as "outstanding among the apostles"—a remarkable statement about the role of women in the early church.Slaves in Prominent Church Roles:Names like Ampliatus reflect a radical reversal of societal hierarchy in the body of Christ.The Household of Faith:Mentions of the households of Aristobulus and Narcissus point to early church groups even within the imperial household.📜 Notable Individuals Highlighted:Phoebe – Commended as a deacon and patron.Prisca & Aquila – Risked their lives, hosted churches, mentored leaders.Andronicus & Junia – Possibly a husband-wife apostolic team.Epenetus – The first convert in Asia.Mary – Honored for her tireless labor.Ampliatus – A likely slave honored with a bold Christian epitaph.Paul’s greetings are more than acknowledgments; they reflect the truth that every member of the body of Christ matters.

  • What's In a List of Names - Part One (Romans 16:1-16)
    Send us a textWelcome:At first glance, Romans 16 appears to be nothing more than a list of greetings—a roll call of names. But as we dig deeper, we discover this is not just a farewell section or an appendix to Paul’s great letter. It is a profound window into the early church, its diversity, its leaders, and the vital role of hospitality, service, and community.Paul’s list reads more like a memorial wall—every name etched into eternity with purpose and value. This episode explores why these names matter and what they teach us about true Christian fellowship, the equality of believers, and the heart of a community devoted to Christ.🧠 Key Themes Explored:The Significance of a Seemingly Mundane List: Romans 16 is not a formality—it is theology in action, embodied in people.Phoebe, the Deacon and Benefactor: A woman of means and service who likely delivered the very letter of Romans.Prisca and Aquila – A Model Christian Home: Their home was a church.

  • The Solution to Disputes Over 'Doubtful Things'. (Romans 15: 1-13)
    Send us a text👋 WelcomeWelcome back to The Bible Project Daily Podcast, where we take the Bible one verse at a time and apply it to everyday life. In today’s episode, we tackle one of the most practical and often perplexing issues in Christian community life: what do we do when believers disagree about morally “grey” areas?Based on Romans 15:1–13, Paul offers a Spirit-filled, Christ-like solution that goes beyond rule-keeping and gets to the heart of Christian unity and self-sacrificial love. Whether you're the "strong" believer walking in freedom or the "weaker" one wrestling with conscience, Paul has a word for all of us.📖 Episode SummaryIn this episode:We explore the tension that arises in the church over disputable matters—those morally neutral or unclear issues where believers differ in conscience.Paul’s answer? The “strong” in faith are called not to please themselves but to bear with and build up the weak—just as Christ did not please Himself.We break down Paul’s structure: an exhortation, an example in Christ, and a prayer for unity.Finally, Paul turns to all believers—calling everyone to accept one another as Christ accepted us, so that with one voice we may glorify God together.🧩 Key ThemesSpiritual Maturity is shown in Sacrifice, not self-assertionUnity comes through mutual acceptance, not uniformityChrist is our model—He bore reproach to bring us peaceScripture and prayer anchor us in hope, even when we differ📌 TakeawayNot every issue requires a verdict—some require love, humility, and patience. Paul’s solution to “doubtful things” is not to win the argument, but to build one another up in Christ.Signpost Inn PodcastStart with God's Grace instead of effort!
