The Bible Recap – Offers tools that equip millions around the world to read, understand, and love the Bible, which helps them encounter God in a way that transforms their entire lives.

Have you ever closed your Bible and thought, What did I just read? Or maybe you have tried to read through the Bible in a year, but quit when it felt confusing or impersonal. The Bible Recap is here to help. Tara-Leigh Cobble, host of the popular podcast The Bible Recap, walks readers through a one-year chronological Bible reading plan and explains each day’s passage in an easy-to-understand way.

Emphasizing how God’s character can be seen throughout Scripture, the recaps are simple and short yet deep enough to help you understand the hard parts and press into knowing God better. As Cobble says, The primary role of Scripture is to show me who God is, and if I behold God, my life will naturally conform around what I learn about him. The Bible Recap will not only help you grasp the entire narrative of the Bible, it will fortify your faith.
Join others who want to know God better and read His Word with The Bible Recap Discussion Guide. Specially written to spark meaningful conversations, it follows the same chronological reading plan as The Bible Recap podcast and book. Adaptable for a variety of schedules and settings–for example, meeting with a friend or in a small group or Sunday school class–these questions will lead you to a deeper understanding of the Bible’s narrative and how God’s character is revealed throughout Scripture. Together you’ll find that He’s where the joy is!
Get to know God better and dig deeper into His Word with The Bible Recap Study Guide. Following a chronological Bible reading plan, this easy-to-use resource includes reflection and research questions specific to each day’s reading, as well as space to write your responses. From just a handful of questions each day, you will get a concise yet comprehensive view of the Bible’s larger narrative and how God’s character is revealed throughout Scripture. You will soon discover that He’s where the joy is!
The CSB Disciple’s Study Bible is designed to help you follow Jesus and disciple others. It features discipleship-themed articles and study notes by pastor and author Robbie Gallaty, the Foundations 260 Reading Plan, journaling space to use the H.E.A.R. method (Highlight-Explain-Apply-Respond), and more. With additional articles on discipleship from the team at Replicate Ministries, this resource-rich discipleship Bible will help foster daily engagement and practical application of God’s Word in the life of readers.

If you are serious about being a disciple of Jesus Christ—really, truly serious—a discipleship group can help you achieve that goal. Jesus established this model for us by forming and leading the first discipleship group—and it worked. The men who emerged from that group took the gospel to the world and ultimately laid down their lives for Christ.

The Bible Project – Our Bible resources help people experience the Bible in a way that is approachable, engaging, and transformative. We do this by showcasing the literary art of the Scriptures and tracing biblical themes from beginning to end. Rather than taking the stance of a specific tradition or denomination, we create materials to elevate the Bible for all people and draw our eyes to its unified message.
