52 Week Bible in a Year Chronological Study Questions
If you’ve ever wanted to read the entire Bible but felt overwhelmed by where to start or how to stay consistent, you’re not alone. I get it—the Bible is a big book, and diving into it can feel like trying to navigate an ocean without a map. But here’s the good news: this year can be different!
If you are looking for a guided journey through Scripture where each day builds on the next, and confusing passages start to click. That’s exactly what we’ll do on this Bible in a Year Journey.
What to Expect
This journey isn’t one you have to take alone. Each week, I’ll be posting a video summary of what we’ve read, highlighting key insights and big-picture takeaways.
To make this experience even more engaging, I’ll provide weekly reflection questions to guide your personal study and group discussions. And for those looking for a creative twist, I’ll include a fun date-night activity—perfect for small groups, women’s gatherings, or friends who want to stay accountable together. No matter your pace or group dynamic, these extras are designed to enrich your Bible reading journey.
Quick Links
The Bible I’m Using – You can opt to use a chronological Bible, but am opting to use my regular Bible and following The Bible Recap Reading Plan in the YouVersion Bible App.
Bible Study Journal – I am using blank printing paper to write my notes on which I will then add to a binder. You can also find some cute Journals at Dollarama for a reasonable price if you prefer a journal.
Tips to Start Strong and Stay Consistent
Building a daily Bible habit takes intention, but it’s absolutely doable. Here are some tried-and-true tips to set yourself up for success:
- Define Your “Why”: Ask yourself, why do you want to read the Bible this year? Maybe it’s to grow closer to God, find answers to life’s questions, or simply to finish something you’ve started before. Writing down your “why” can keep you motivated on tough days.
- Create a Routine: Pair your reading with an existing habit, like having your morning coffee or winding down before bed. Small, consistent steps lead to big results.
- Use the Right Tools: Beyond the Bible and The Bible Recap podcast, consider a journal for jotting down insights, questions, or prayers. A highlighter or sticky tabs can also help you mark passages that stand out.
- Plan for Setbacks: Life happens. If you fall behind, don’t give up. Instead of trying to catch up all at once, just pick up where you left off. The goal is progress, not perfection.
- Pray Before You Read: Invite God to speak to you through His Word. A simple prayer like, “Lord, open my eyes to see wonderful things in Your Word” (Psalm 119:18) can prepare your heart.
Deepen Your Understanding with Reflection
Reflection isn’t just for journaling; it’s the bridge between reading and transformation. Here’s how you can make the most of your daily reading:
- Ask Key Questions: After reading, pause and ask: What does this reveal about God? How does this point to Jesus? What’s one thing I’m being invited to apply in my life?
- Notice Patterns: Over time, you’ll start seeing recurring themes, like God’s faithfulness, justice, or mercy. Write these down to track your discoveries.
- Discuss with Others: Sharing your insights with a friend or group can solidify what you’ve learned and even offer new perspectives you hadn’t considered.
