I read the entire Bible in 30 days! Here are my thoughts and reflections… *** I want to put a disclaimer here:   You do NOT need to read the Bible multiple times in a year to be a “good” Christian. Reading the Bible is not about how fast you can read it or how many times you can read it in a set amount of time. Reading the Bible is about QUALITY not quantity, letting it sink deep and take root! I want to start out by saying that I wasn’t going to initially attempt to read the Bible in 30 days. The plan was to complete a 90 Day plan. BUT, after I had started the 90 day plan, I saw that there was a 30 Day plan that people really enjoyed and that sparked this deep urge to try the 30 Day Shred by Nathan Finochio. I am a stay at home mom of 2 small children and expecting a 3rd in 2 months so this seemingly impossible task was definitely not on my radar. However, I reviewed my screen time and found that I was averaging 5-6 hours a day on my phone! I quickly looked up how long the averag...

It’s called The Bible Recap by Tara Leigh Cobble. This is a one year chronological Bible reading plan, and it pairs with a daily podcast and/or devotional to help you better understand what you’re reading. This plan consists of 3-5 chapters of reading per day that goes through the entire Bible in chronological order over the course of one year. The companion podcast (The Bible Recap) consists of a 5-8 minute episode where Tara Leigh Cobble explains the day’s readings, highlights key themes, and points to God’s character in the text with what she calls her “God Shot”. This plan is especially great for people new to reading the Bible and people who are short on time.

Welcome to the start of my Bible Reading Plan Series!  In this post, we will look at the Professor Grant Horner Bible Reading System. WHAT IS THE HORNER BIBLE READING SYSTEM? In short, this plan is designed and created by Professor Grant Horner, a scholar and theologian, to help individuals read and engage with the Bible more deeply and comprehensively. The system divides the Bible into 10 distinct lists, each containing specific chapters from different books of the Bible. (This plan is also known as the 10 Lists Plan.) The goal with this reading system is to become familiar with the entirety of the Bible, and not to complete the Bible in one year.  HOW DOES IT WORK? You will read one chapter from each of the following lists per day: List 1 – Matthew, Mark, Luke, John (89 days) List 2 – Genesis-Deuteronomy (187 days) List 3 – Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Hebrews (78 days) List 4 – 1-2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, Titus, Phile...
