We are using the book The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble starting on January 1st.

Here's how it works:

• There are 2 forms this comes in!
• Digital – (audio learners) Use the YouVersion Bible app to listen to the daily verses. Then listen to the corresponding podcast for a discussion on understanding what you read. (See more in "Digital Instructions" below)
• Physical – (visual learners) Read your regular Bible. Get a Bible Recap book and read the daily discussion in there. (See more in "Physical Instructions" below)

• What’s so special about this plan?
• It's chronological! That means we are reading the Bible in a way that tells the story as it happened instead of skipping around.
• This is not a huge daily commitment! 12 minutes spent in the Bible itself, 8 minutes discussing the passage of the day = 20 minutes with the Lord.
• The Bible Recap contains a “God-Shot” in the discussion portion.
• A God-shot is a “screenshot” of what you need to know about God in that particular section.

• What do I need to do?
• Step 1: Read
• Read the daily verses
• Step 2: Listen
• Listen to the podcast discussion or read the discussion book
• Step 3: Pray
• Don’t forget to pray about what you learned!

• What's the purpose of this?
• To learn from God, Himself, instead of relying on others’ interpretations such as a sermon or devotional.

• Download the YouVersion Bible app if you have not already.
• This is a free digital Bible that comes in several different translations. The author of the Bible Recap uses the ESV translations, WAC generally uses the NIV translation.
• What's the difference?
• ESV is a word for word translation
• NIV is a word for thought translation
• On January 1st, start the Bible Recap Plan
• Subscribe to The Bible Recap podcast or YouTube channel
• Available on YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Podbean | Stitcher | Google | WayNation

• Steps:

1. Read or listen to the day's passage on the Bible app.
2. Listen to the corresponding podcast.
3. Pray about what you just learned!

We will have weekly discussions & share our thoughts on daily passages in our Facebook group. Feel free to join us.

For those who are more visual learners or just need that physical book:

• Read your regular Bible!! Do not purchase a Chronological Bible because it may not match up with the plan properly.
• The author of the Bible Recap uses the ESV translations, WAC generally uses the NIV translation.
• What's the difference?
• ESV is a word for word translation
• NIV is a word for thought translation
• Get a Bible Recap book and read the daily discussion in there. This contains both the discussion and the God-shot. It also contains a list of the daily readings.
• Start reading Day 1 on January 1st.

• Steps:

1. Read or listen to the day's passage on the Bible app.
