A Year In The Bible

Substack Link

This is a one-year journey through the Bible, read every day, about 3–4 chapters a day. But if you miss a day or only read a chapter, that’s okay too!
The plan is chronological, so history, poetry, and prophecy are read in their proper sequence within the story.

You do not need to be perfect to stay faithful…
Remember that this is an invitation, not a test.
