Disciples know God through His Word.
The Radiant people of God are disciples who grow in their love for God as we grow in our knowledge of God.
“Have you ever closed your Bible and thought, “What did I just read?” Or maybe you've tried to read through the Bible in a year, but quit when it felt confusing or impersonal? Are you one of the many who has read through the book of Genesis approximately 20 times, but hasn't read anything beyond that?
The Bible Recap is here to help!
The Bible Recap is a Chronological Reading Plan, designed to guide you through the story of God. As a church, we use this reading plan to read through the scriptures together.
How does it work and where do I get started?
Each day you’ll read the assigned scripture reading then tune in to The Bible Recap podcast, video or book where Tara-Leigh will highlight and summarize that day’s Bible reading in a quick, casual, and easy to understand way. The Bible Recap will not only help you read scripture but help you love reading it and help you understand it!”

Step Three
Start.
Reading Scripture is a spiritual practice, not a perfect performance.
Make no mistake, reading God's word is an investment of your time and attention. It's worth it.
Here are some tips to help you practice reading Scripture:
● Decide a time & place you will routinely read.
● Start reading and learning
● Don't journey alone, perhaps invite friends to text each other, daily, something you learn.
● If you miss one day, try not to miss two.
● Be sure to use a translation/version you can read and understand. The NLT, NIV, ESV, or CSB are some of our favorites.
● Utilize the audio reading feature on the Bible App when needed.
● Have questions or need help? Email us, we're in this together.
