There's a story told almost 100 years ago in a church magazine about a young man named Creed Heyman who

ran track for his college. The night before a meet, his coach offered the team alcohol to help

them relax for the next day's races. Creed refused multiple times and to the chagrin of his coach and

teammates. The end of the story is powerful, and you can read it if you click in the

link in our show notes. But it's actually the middle of the story itself that interests us this

week. In this episode, we study the great story of Daniel, Michelle, Hananaya, and Azariah,

and ask the question, how can I live in the modern world and be both true to my beliefs and also harmonious with others.

Welcome to the Scripture Study Project. We are your host, Krista and Zach Horton, and this is our podcast where we study Scripture with you.

Our goal each week is to help you discover new or renewed excitement for God and His Word.

Invest your heart and personal life into your study and connect with others as you teach and learn together.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode. We are here to study with you in Daniel's, Daniel's,

chapter one through, chapters one through six.

Sorry, a lot of books have multiple endings on it, right?

Daniel's, Daniel's story.

That's what I meant to say.

If I were a great podcast host or great podcast partner,

I would say, Zach, I'm sorry you lost your voice, are losing your voice. I will record this episode on my own. But instead, we have Zach, who is partially has lost his voice.

We've had a little too much excitement here in the Philadelphia area with the World Series.

We are newly converted baseball fans, apparently.

You kind of can't when you've got a team going to the World Series, and it is such a fun

community boosting, mood boosting, voice losing.

We went from zero to 60 pretty quick, too.
