INTRODUCTION

To fulfill our commitment to be “devoted…to the apostles’ teaching” we are challenging you to commit to reading the Bible daily. In 2026, we will be changing up what we've done over the last 3 years. In an effort to keep your Bible reading from becoming stale, mechanical, or perfunctory, we are challenging you to read through the Bible in a different way. I also recommend you read it in a different translation.

This year we will only be offering The Chronological Plan. The readings in this plan are compiled according to recent historical research, taking into account the order in which the recorded events actually occurred. This is a fantastic plan to follow if you wish to add historical context to your reading of the Bible. If the schedule provided is followed, the entire Bible will be read in one calendar year.

When you sign up you will receive a daily reminder of that day’s reading in your email. Not only will this inform you, but it is intended to help you stick with your commitment. You sign up by creating an account at the top right corner of the page.

A very important part of the challenge is accountability. By signing up you are committing, not only to reading, but also to posting that you have read. It could something as simple as “read it,” or you could seek to be an encouragement to others by posting something that specifically challenged or encouraged you from the reading. [Only those who sign up will be allowed to post.]

Any questions that you have can be posted in the comments and we will try to answer them in a timely fashion.
