Have you ever tried, but failed to read the Bible in a year?
You’re not alone. It’s a common frustration.
You start out strong in January. Genesis is an exciting story, with everything you need to keep you engaged and reading. Exodus, too, with its tale of freedom from slavery—for a few chapters.
Then, about midway through Exodus there’s page after page of laws, rituals, and sacrifices, which you know are important but you’re not sure how they apply today. And by the tme you get a few chapters into Leviticus, and not even out of January, you’ve stopped reading. But now you feel guilty, too.
This is why I created the Bible-Reading Coach.
What Is The Bible-Reading Coach?
The Bible Reading Coach is a weekly podcast that guides you through the entire Bible in 52 weeks.
Start each week by listening to the podcast, hosted by me, Karl Vaters. It’s designed to help beginners and longtime Bible readers get more out of your journey through God’s Word by making your reading journey . . .
- SIMPLE: A weekly introduction to readings from Genesis to Revelation that helps you know what to look for as you read.
- UNDERSTANDABLE: Helps you see how this ancient wisdom applies to the way we live, think, and believe today.
- REWARDING: As you read from Genesis to Revelation, I’ll show you what to look for and how to apply it to your everyday life.
Then, as you read the passages that week, you’ll have an idea of what’s happening, why, and what it means for your life today.
This plan has been followed successfully by hundreds of people, with almost 10,000 podcast downloads!
