Get this: Spending as little as 20 minutes a day in the Bible is proven to dramatically increase the quality of your relationships and the clarity of your mission.

How It Works

Your training consists of 75 Bible passages divided into five challenges (or sections) of 15 days each. That’s 20 minutes a day with God for 75 days to train your spirit as much as you train your body. It’s hard, but not that hard.

Whether this is your first time opening a Bible, or your leather cover is cracked with use, knowing how to productively spend time in God’s word can feel intimidating. In just 20 minutes each day for 15 days, follow these four easy steps to get the most out of your training to complete one challenge. Complete the entire mission in 75 days.

1. Pray

With focus and openness, see what God has for you today.

2. Read

Slowly read each selected section of scripture, noting intriguing words and phrases. Read it again, and write down whatever stands out or comes to mind.

3. Reflect

Think through the questions provided, and ask yourself what the passage teaches you about God and His values, about yourself, and about how God feels toward you.

4. Respond

Speak to God about what’s on your mind and heart. Don’t worry if your words aren’t fully-thought out. Then look for ways throughout the day to live out what you’ve uncovered.

As you complete basic training in the Bible, you’ll gain strength in an advanced understanding of who Jesus is in relationship to the Bible and clarity about how His mission for your life aligns with His Will.
