Study plans
Pick a guided journey. One short reading, one focus, one passage of scripture each day - with no streak shaming and no signup wall.
Walk through the entire Gospel of John, one chapter per day. Discover who Jesus is through the eyes of the beloved disciple, exploring signs, sermons, and the heart of the gospel message.
Explore the first twelve chapters of Genesis and the foundations of everything. From creation to the call of Abraham, discover the origins of God's relationship with humanity and His plan of redemption.
A focused seven-day journey through key passages in John's Gospel that reveal who Jesus truly is. Each day highlights a different facet of His identity, from eternal Word to risen Lord.
Six beloved Psalms that speak to the soul in every season. Whether you need encouragement, protection, or praise, these passages remind us of God's steadfast love and faithfulness.
For seven days, sit on the hillside where Jesus first taught the way of His kingdom. From the Beatitudes to the house on the rock, His words map a whole life — how to pray, how to love, how to trust, how to build on what lasts. Come slowly. Let the greatest sermon ever preached reshape your heart.
New to faith, or simply curious about Jesus? Begin here. Over seven gentle days, walk through short, welcoming passages from the Gospels and the Psalms that introduce you to who Jesus is, how deeply God loves you, and the new life He offers. No background needed — just an open heart and a few quiet minutes each day.
Walk with Jesus from the manger to the mountain of ascension. Across fourteen days and all four Gospels, trace the shape of His life — born, baptized, tested, teaching, healing, suffering, buried, risen. Come unhurried, and let the One who came to seek and to save become more real to you with every step.
Paul lists nine graces that grow in a life surrendered to God: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. Over nine unhurried days, watch each one take root — not as rules to perform, but as fruit the Spirit bears in those who walk with Christ. Come and be cultivated.
Solomon set out to give the simple wisdom and the young man knowledge. For ten days, walk slowly through Proverbs and let its plain, piercing counsel shape ordinary life — your words, your work, your money, your friendships, your temper. This is not abstract philosophy but wisdom for Monday morning. Come listen, and grow wise.
Walk the gospel as Paul lays it out in one letter. Over seven days you will trace the great arc from God's righteousness revealed, through our deep need, to the gift held out in Christ — and arrive where Paul does: settled, unafraid, and held fast by a love nothing can break.
In Scripture, God reveals Himself one name at a time — Creator, Provider, Shepherd, the God who is with us, the great I AM. Over eight days, trace these names and titles through the Bible and discover that each one is a window into His character, and that every name finds its fullness in Jesus Christ.
Scripture is full of people who poured out their hearts to God, and their words still teach us how to pray. Over seven days, kneel beside Hannah, Solomon, Jehoshaphat, Daniel, and the Lord Jesus Himself. Learn to ask, to confess, to surrender, and to intercede, until prayer becomes the natural breath of your walk with God.
For eight days, walk beside Jesus through the last week before the cross. From the shouts of Hosanna to the silence of the tomb and the wonder of an empty grave, trace the days that changed everything. Come slowly, and behold the love that gave itself for you.
Paul wrote this letter from prison, yet the word that keeps surfacing is joy. Over seven days, walk through Philippians and discover a gladness that does not depend on circumstances — partnership in the gospel, the mind of Christ, the prize ahead, and a peace that guards the heart. Come and learn to rejoice in the Lord.
Seven times in John's Gospel, Jesus joins the words "I am" to a living image that opens His whole heart: bread, light, a door, a shepherd, life itself, the way, a fruitful vine. Over seven days, sit with each saying and let the Lord tell you, in His own words, who He is and who He longs to be for you.
