30-day Bible study plan
Thirty short readings, one question at a time. Aim for 10–15 minutes per reading. You can read daily or take longer; if you miss a day, continue with the next reading.
Start with Jesus in Mark, then reflect with Psalms and John. Links open the full chapter in BSB so you can read the surrounding context.
A simple rhythm
- Read the passage in BSB, including its surrounding context.
- Write one observation in your own words.
- Choose one small response you can practice.
- Pray about what you have read.
