Reading Through the Bible in One Year: Why It’s Totally Doable (and Life-Changing!)

Okay, let’s be honest. Reading the entire Bible in a year sounds like a pretty massive goal, right? Between work, laundry, carpool duty, and trying to remember if you already reheated that cup of coffee twice… who has the time?

But hear me out—what if reading the Bible in one year wasn’t just a spiritual checklist item, but something that actually refreshes your soul, gives you clarity, and helps you know God in a deeper way than ever before?

Yep, we’re going there. And yes, you can totally do this.

Why Read Through the Whole Bible?

Let’s start with the “why” before we get to the “how.”

  1. It gives you the big picture
    The Bible isn’t just a bunch of random stories—it’s one big, beautiful, connected narrative of God’s love and faithfulness. When you read it from Genesis to Revelation, you start to see how everything points to Jesus. It’s like going from puzzle pieces to the full masterpiece.

  2. It strengthens your faith
    There’s something powerful about watching God work across generations, through flawed people, in impossible situations. Spoiler: He still does that today. Reading those stories builds your trust in Him—and gives you faith for your own “impossible” moments.

  3. It keeps you grounded
    We all have days (or weeks) where life feels loud and overwhelming. Regularly reading the Word reminds us of what’s actually true and eternal. It’s like a holy reset button.

  4. It grows your hunger for God
    The more you read, the more you want to read. You start recognizing His voice more clearly, understanding His character, and craving time with Him. You might even start to look forward to your Bible time more than your phone scroll time. (Yes, it’s possible!)

But… How Do I Stick With It?

Ah, the golden question.

We’ve all been there—starting strong in Genesis, getting a little sleepy in Leviticus, and then quietly disappearing sometime mid-Numbers. (No shame!)

The key is having a plan—and making it work for your life. That’s where my One-Year Bible Reading Digital Planner comes in!

Real Talk: What Will Happen If You Do This?

  • You’ll be surprised how much you actually understand (the Holy Spirit is a great teacher).

  • You’ll notice your thoughts shifting—less anxious, more peaceful.

  • You’ll start applying biblical truths to everyday life—your relationships, your decisions, even your mindset on Monday mornings.

  • You’ll fall more in love with God. And honestly, what could be better?
