[@gavin_luis]

I'll be praying for you sister!! May God give you the strength and discernment to know and see the truth because I know it will set you free if you accept it ma'am!!

[@user-qt9lt5vh4l]

Me too. The first time through, it took me two years. I can't wait to do this again!

[@taningconner479]

If you try, you cannot fail even if you didnt accomplish your goal. Failing is to stop trying, yet here you are willing to keep going. Be proud of yourself for trying again! You will get further each time!

[@mlo4809]

Florence, would you like to be friends on the Bible app? ❤️

[@taningconner479]

My mom and I started a little late today, not realizing there were videos to watch first. That got me so stressed because i felt like i was going to be further behind and would miss my deadline for finish day one. However, these videos have been so helpful, so supportive, so valuable. It really helped me to just ease my mind, have oeace and give myself grace. So im just watching the videos and will double up on the readings tomorrow.

Here are some important timestamps. Thanks for your wisdom, Tara-Leigh. 0:37 Mistake #1: Looking for myself in scripture. 3:31 Mistake #2: Disregarding context. 6:28 Mistake #3 Being tempted to draw conclusions before I’d read it all, which meant I didn’t have all the information. 10:45 “As you’re reading the Bible, hold your questions and your conclusions with an open hand and continue to ask God to guide you in wisdom and knowledge and understanding as you read each day.” - TLC 11:48 Summary of 3 important tips

Me too! Started yesterday. Excited for our journey I pray God reveals himself to us, that we feel closer to him than we ever have, and that he gives us much understanding and wisdom.

[@sharonwhyte1565]

I read through for 2024 and I am excited to do it again for 2025. Starting today January 1st..I still need to understand more of what I am reading. So hear I go again, help me Lord.

[@taningconner479]

Im so proud of you! This is my first time! Lets do this!

[@natashaturner398]

I love where you said that asking how a particular portion of Scripture is applicable to modern-day life is like asking how your mom is applicable to modern-day life. 😀 That is a great way to remember to keep circling back around to what is being revealed about God and building a relationship with Him.

[@valeriecote7556]

I am really struck by your comment that as we read the Bible, we need to ask God to help us grow in wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. I am not sure I have ever prayed for that before I open my Bible. I think that will be a very important one for me, tackling the Bible in a year from a different advantage point. It makes so much sense, and maybe it’s something everyone else automatically does, but that really hit home for me!

[@lisahendrix7934]

Reading to know who God is will be a game changer. I see it as a scavenger or treasure hunt. I am very competitive so this is very motivating! So glad God led me to you and your program!

[@andreamills3675]

I just found this through my Mom. I can’t wait. I’ve started the D-Groups Bible studies. And added this on my Bible app. Can’t wait to fan into flame the fire that I seemed to neglect. Thankful for God’s mercy and love to want us back again if we’ve drifted. He restores, redeems, heals….why waste one drop of all that Jesus purchased for us? It is more prideful to accept shame and condemnation than repent and accept the forgiveness of God and walk in that

[@roybrodrick]

Here starts my Bible reading for 2024... I'm eager to learn more about God.

[@gavin_luis]

[@ritahl8590]

Starting Friday March 1, 2024 with a small Facebook group I started!! So excited to finally get through the entire Bible!!

[@bobbiebland6826]

All praise and honor is to God. I started the Bible reading a while back but paused after Pslam and have way through Provers. I am so excited and glad I started the RECAP BIBLE PLAN. This is my second day. I thanks God for this opportunity to lean more about God. Looking foward until tomorrow. My takeaways today is that I leaned who Nosh's father was; his wife an 3 childerns.

[@dellapentageneralgoogleacc29]

My husband and I are starting this journey in 2025. I learned of this plan through YouVersion and Passionate Penny Pincher subscribers. Looking forward to my 4th or 5th time through. Only my second time through chronologically.

[@gradyhutchens]

I really like when she said that the Bible is not self help. I really benefited from that last year when doing the plan. So excited to read it again, and looking forward to reading it with God’s glory in mind!

My husband and I yare pretty sold on this program! Love the recap and all the encouragement that comes with it. We are trying to get our small group to get on board, too, I'm working on some friends and my husband is doing it with a small group of young men. Powerful and great tool!

[@V1MiamiTheBritosFloridaKeys]

Thank you I just saw all the videos and found you on my Bible app and I’m subscribed. I believe that this was a prayer God has answered because I have been wanting to read the entire Bible and understand it. I feel like God has reached out to me last year and I have been really trying to read and follow his word and I wanted to start a Bible study in Jan. I know it’s not the 1st but it’s all good I’m ready to learn. I got my Bible, my print out of the yearly days, and a note book. Here we go🙏🏻♥️ Thank God and thank you for doing this for us.

[@aweshucks-natalie4319]

God also reached out to me in a big way this year - my whole life feels different and renewed. I also want to understand the bible. Starting is way more important than when we start!! I'm just about to begin now after Easter, and I think it's perfect timing for me. Hope God continues to help us both, and we grow our Fruits of Spirit more in this exploration. 🙏🏻

[@Lisi2147]

Thank you, TLC ! So excited for this journey with you❤

[@JerryLeeSchrader]

I have been going through the year in the Bible by myself, I am in Joshua now, but am going to go back, the way you explain things makes so much sense. I think I have found myself at times to try to get through the "verse for the day", not just blowing through it necessarily, but also not asking myself questions about what I've read. Thank you for doing this.

[@janiemartinez5429]

Great tips. The Bible Recap is a great resource and maybe I will try it next year. I started to read the Bible and Catechism of Catholic Church October 2023, I did not have plan I just opened up page one and started reading and made almost all the mistakes you mention. So I started the Bible in a year (BIY) Podcast and the Catechism of the Catholic Church Podcast both with with Fr Mike Smitz and I finally started to make sense. I also read "How to read the Bible for what its worth" by George Fee and Doug Stuart. The book shows you hermeneutics and exegesis in depth. I recommend BEFORE you start reading the Bible.

[@chariedojoles7465]

Thank you ...I will be starting thi Januanry 2024 & I am excited to start this journey

I'm following the New Testament reading plan as I thought it would be less intimidating. I have the Bible reading habit but I've had the wrong mindset. Now I'm reading to learn who God is and desiring to have my own relationship with him.

[@LorrieHerrera]

How often I have said, "they know better (my adult children) they have been raised in the church"....I have taken wisdom and tried to turn it into a promise in an effort to save face, by not understanding the true meaning of the scripture, Proverbs 22:6. It is the wisdom of God and how ignorant of me to even remotely think that scripture should be applied any other way than intended. Thank you Lord, for opening my eyes.

[@daughteroftheking2020]

I agree we shouldn't be reading the Bible to find ourselves or find a check list. But the Bible is absolutely applicable to our every day culture. Jesus is the same yesterday, today , and forever. Culture changes, social rules change, state/country laws change but the Word of God is constant and will always be applicable to our every day lives. No matter what part of the world or what culture we are in because we are always going to need God's Word to lead us.

[@wigglewomyn1]

I only learned about TBR and this channel today but I'm really excited to start after watching all the prep episodes. What do y'all think about me starting this on May 1st instead of January 1st? Pros and Cons? Should i start reading the day the Bible Plan is on or should I start on Day 1 when i begin on May 1? Would you recommend joining Patreon now or is it too late since the reading plan usually begins January 1 and Patreon entries are on Day 118 now? Thanks for your help. Wendy

[@charliesangel2731]

If you start in July should you still start at Genesis? Or start where the plan should be at this point if you started in January?

[@TheSkysthelimitCoach]

Read it as a story about God? Read it in context. Questions: who wrote the book, why, when, what's the style of the writing. That matters what is said, eg wisdom book are with purpose of helping people walk in wisdom rather than a prophecy. ie-Get the inside spook. Hermeneutics- 1. scripture interprets scripture. Interpret unclear passage in light of the clear passage.' 2. Is the passage descriptive or prescriptive. Context is key. 3. Read it as it was written to be read.as you read hold your it with an open hand. 4. Ask God show you who he is,

In Gen 4:5. Why didn't God accept Cain's gift of crops?

[@marshabraswell5681]

His crops were beautiful and lush; but his heart wasn't right with God. We're left to figure out why. Perhaps it was a matter of puffed-up pride for Cain where Able brought his sacrifices came from an humble and contrite heart. We won't know here on earth.

[@denisecollier5509]

I believe it was because Able did not bring the best of his crops, not the first fruits but more of what was leftover. Where Caine brought the best of his flock and gave it as his sacrifice to God. Just my take, I am still learning like everyone else.❤

[@rtroysmith]

@@denisecollier5509 Agreed. Able brought his first and best. Cain brought some of his leftovers. It was their attitudes that mattered to God. Even still, God offered Cain a chance to do what was right, but Cain’s heart was hardened and he chose not to and eventually murdered his brother. 😢

[@MarkJones-mm3br]

I don't understand why you support that evil company Patreon given how they make a lot if their money and the ungodly attitudes of their founders. I hope you can find an alternative so Christians do not feel they need to support their actions indirectly by paying them money in order to support you. It is not that difficult or expensive these days to build something that works effectively like Patreon using free, open source software. Please give this prayerful consideration. Thank you.
