Welcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. Today, we’re looking at Judges 18 — a sobering account of how a whole tribe, the Danites, slowly walked away from the Lord. This isn’t just a story of ancient idolatry; it’s a powerful warning about what happens when God’s people stop trusting His Word and start crafting a religion that suits their own desires. From misplaced trust to spiritual shortcuts, the story of Dan holds up a mirror to our own lives. Let’s walk through this passage together — and ask: Are we truly walking with God, or just going through the motions?

Summary:
In this episode, we follow the tragic path of the tribe of Dan as they forsake God’s promise and pursue their own plan. Instead of claiming their God-given inheritance, they seek out easier alternatives — and end up embracing idolatry. Through their journey, we see the subtle danger of drifting from the Lord, the consequences of compromised worship, and the challenge to return to genuine trust and obedience.

Key Verse:

Takeaway:
True worship isn’t about convenience or appearance — it’s about obedience, trust, and the real presence of God. If you’ve wandered, there’s still time to return.
