In this 5-day plan, you’ll read scripture and be encouraged in practical ways to share YOUR story for God’s glory! Start reading here.

Following Jesus Even When It Doesn’t Add Up: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/13592-following-jesus-even-when-it-doesnt-add-up

Sometimes life doesn’t make sense or “add up” in our math. We have life circumstances that make us question whether we can have a full life. Divorce. Death. Sickness. Financial losses. Family conflicts. Life doesn’t seem fair. Maybe you’ve been searching for that “formula” that will help make sense of life. Come explore the life-giving teachings of Jesus and why they truly add up to a full life when practiced. Start reading here.

5 Prayers for Christian Writers: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/16373-5-prayers-for-christian-writers 

As a Christian writer, you face numerous obstacles along your writing journey. In this 5-day plan, we’re going to pray through five of these obstacles in order to see breakthrough. These include self-doubt/unworthiness, comparison, fear, perfectionism, and writer’s block. As Christian writers ourselves, we hope to see God set you free in order to write words that will outlive you and impact people for eternity. Start reading here.

A Heart for Prayer

 

 

 

 

A Heart for Prayer: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/17308-heart-prayer-5-days-of-drawing-close-to-father-god

Do you desire to have a heart for prayer? Psalms 27:8 says, “My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.” Having a heart for prayer is having a heart for relationship. My hope is that each of these days whet your appetite to enjoy a lifetime of sweet prayer with Father God. Start reading here.

Bridge to Life

 

 

 

 

Bridge to Life: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/21494-bridge-to-life

Jesus is the bridge to eternal life. Without Him, it’s as if we’re standing on one side of the Grand Canyon. Death is coming for us and we need to get to the other side to safety. We see that It’s too far to jump and there’s no way we can cross on our own. However, imagine a bridge suddenly appearing that spans the Grand Canyon. A bridge to life! Start reading here.

Encounters with Jesus

 

 

 

 

Encounters with Jesus: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/22187-encounters-with-jesus

Do you desire to encounter Jesus? When we “encounter” something, we are coming face-to-face with it. It’s our hope that over these next five days, we’ll notice our hearts burning within us like the Emmaus Road travelers (Luke 24:32) as we also walk with Jesus. Perhaps we’ll find ourselves having a deeper desire to draw closer to the Son as we encounter Him in unexpected ways. Start reading here.

Yes God Can








Yes God Can!: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/22348-yes-god-can

We serve the God of Yes! Even when everything around us screams, ‘No you can’t’, God’s answer is the final word. All of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” We hope this plan deepens your trust and faith over these 6 days. With God, we can overcome every spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical obstacle that stands between us and our full potential in Christ. Start reading here.

Celebrate Jesus

 

 

 

 

Celebrate Jesus!: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/23011-celebrate-jesus

Momentum Challenge
Momentum: https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/24029-momentum

Kingdom writers, let the words flow as you allow God to write through you. You are priestly pens in the hands of the Author of life. Writing a book is not for everyone.
