Bible Reading Plans

Your Bible reading plans are available here! You have three options:

  • Standard: This Bible reading plan gives you verses in Psalms that you should be able to read in 1-2 minutes each day.

Select the one that you want to use from the downloads provided. Save this to your computer and print it out for easy reference.

If you find that none of these reading plans work for you, feel free to work through Psalms at your own pace. Or if you prefer a different book of the Bible, that's OK too! Just make sure you choose something and start reading your Bible a bit each day.

If you miss a day, that's OK! Just read whatever passage is next on the list. You can use the checkboxes to keep track of where you are. Don't feel the need to get "caught up" if you get behind. There is no "getting behind" in this course. Just go at your own pace, knowing that whatever you do is an improvement over what you were doing before.


Survey

Substack also has a new “survey” feature that we will use throughout the course for you to provide feedback or insights to me about whether you found the course useful and how the course could be updated in the future. This will help me improve the course over time.

Start Survey

You can also use the survey questions to reflect on the content and how you will use it going forward in your own life. You will never be forced to answer a question. If you don’t feel comfortable answering a question, you can skip it.

Note that the survey feature does NOT work in Substack’s app (at least at the time of this writing). If you click on the survey button in the app, it will take you to Grounded in the Bible’s homepage, not the survey. So you will want to access this survey outside the app (through your email or Grounded in the Bible’s website).
