We read not as a chore, but to bask in His glory! This is my life's energy..
Tara, i accidentally clicked back on this episode instead of episode 217, which is where i am in my study and I AM SO GRATEFUL I DID. I don't think it was accidental, i think God wanted to remind me that this is a process... I'm not supposed to get it all the first time. I'm so hard on myself, God is so gentle with me.
Same here. I was feeling that way
too, but Tara’s encouragement is so much appreciated. And yes, God is gentle indeed. 😭
Please pray for all of us to get through the whole bible, me especially. I have attention problems. I get distracted by so easily. When Im alone the smallest thought will make me jump up in the middle of something and leave what I was doing. I know sometimes when Im not going to be focused. Praying before everything I do has helped me more than anything. The the phrase "Just Believe" is also helpful. I have been a Christian from birth from the committment my parents made to going to all the church services but I didn't read the read the bible until I was older. Being hurt and brought to your knees is when my relationship with God began. I was 23. Then I became a member of a church that's whole intent is to build that relationship with Jesus through the word og God and not by just hearing commentaru. The reason I knew it was the church for me is everyone that stood at the podium including the Preacher said "Turn with me now to bible.. " Then I heard the pages of 100s of bible turning. To this day it is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. It mived me. I muss it niw because of technology. Thank you for this opportuniniry. ❤🙏❤
Incredible conversation. It’s not a mirror. It’s not a story about you. It’s a story about God. I’m pretty excited to read through again with this intentional lens.
I just finished my first year of the Bible Recap. God Bless you and your ministry. All I can say as I begin year two is THANK YOU.
Can you help me understand? What is year 2 about? I thought we were to read the Bible in year one?
@@jgator6694 it means I am rereading it again. I joined last year and loved the experience. It keeps me in the word and love the commentary on each reading. God Bless.
@@citizen314 Thank you!! Sounds wonderful and makes a lot of sense. 😊
Me, too!
I am so happy for you and me!
"Isaiah-the fifth Gospel Book," this is the first time I've heard of this joke. That's a good one! Haha! Thank you for inspiring us, Pastor Lee McDerment!
I've read through the Bible lots of times in my 69 years (including chronologically) but I'm looking forward to a different way. I've invited my daughter, sister and niece to join me in You Version. I fell in love with the Old Testament 35 years ago 💕
How did you go? I turn 40 this year. 2024. I've also tried so many times. Think I've made it to February before. Sounds terrible. I find it so difficult to maintain engagement without turning it into just another daily task. I've come across this plan and I'm feeling super encouraged. 2024 might be the year 🤷🏼♀️🙏
I love the Old Testament!
@@tashetsMe too. I think some key advice given concerning that is to do it with friends. I failed miserably last year - on my own. This year, I’m doing it with friends and none of us (4) live in the same state. That will add an interesting slant to this because hopefully no one will hold back in their encouragement or exhortation within our little group.
What is the authors recommendation for chronological reading? And could you speak to or lead me to a place that you speak about the impact visiting Israel has had on your experience of the unfolding of the scripture? Thank you in advance and thank you for all you do!!
Being a kinesthetic learner, I need to type my notes:
1. It is not about you. It is about God.
2. Keep reading and fall in love with the main character-G_d.
3. Read it with friends, with the community.
4. Reading will increase your relationship (friendship) with God.
5. Treasure it.
6. The Bible needs to be used to know God not to be used as a weapon to politicize etc.
7. If you feel that you are having a hard time in reading, go past through it. Persevere.
8. Look for Jesus in every page (especially if you find the book boring).
My prayer for us is that may all of us read through the Bible with openness to learning and understanding God's nature in changing our lives.
Happy Reading through the Bible in 2024!
Thank you for typing that!! ❤ It helps me to read what I'm listening to.
6:49 "Stop looking for yourself..." is powerful. I'm looking forward to trying this reading plan.
Thank you for this reminder of the responsibility of the worship leader to have read through the ENTIRE Bible. Looking forward to this year and what God will do in us!
This conversation (this Prep Episode) changed the trajectory of my life in December of 2019.
Completing my third year through (the last two leading others through as well), The Bible Recap carried me through pandemic, isolation, Ministry experiences, racial strife, a politically charged environment, and so much more.
I am forever grateful for Lee McDerment, TLC, and this Prep Episode!
"Pray before reading...God if you're real, speak to me." Encouraging words that made me cry.
I always sing in my mind that the words of "Word of God speak, would pour down like rain..." etc. using it as a prayer.
Our pastor at Buncombe Street Methodist in Greenville has challenged our congregation to sign up for Bible Recap!
This is my year!
I’ve already had so much peace and burden lifted from me from just a few months of realizing this.
I started a few other plans but from different people commenting, it seemed this would explain things more thoroughly, which I feel might be helpful for me starting new again, to make sure I understand all of the teachings.
I’m just so excited to start my year with what I feel is the correct focus, and read the entire bible and have Bible Recap make sure I don’t miss anything!
I’m happy to be in this place with you all. I’m so happy to be a part of the Bible Recap 🙏🏼✨
This convo is such a must hear to provide individual courage to read through it all. Especially the parts I wasn't looking forward too due to past experiences, way to give a different perspective to arm us with the armor to push through it and find the treasures there. Looking forward to this journey
I've read through the full bible once and have read and listened to new testment many times but the bible recap plan keeps popping up. I'm excited to get started on this tomorrow 2024🎉
Me too here in Australia giving this plan a go for the 1st time 😊
Me too! This is my second time. First time with Tara. Thank God for bringing me here. 🙌
This will be my 17th time of reading the Bible all the way through in 8 1/2 years, and every time I've read it, I ask the Lord to show me new things and He has!! I'm excited to be starting my 17th time.
I do wish you offered the study guide in printable version. Then I'd print them and use a binder.
She does! Go to the website.
I SO enjoyed this! ❤️ Oh please GOD help me find Jesus in Leviticus!😩🤦🏻😅😁
You said that in the other vid but its true💖
Merry to leviticus. Read the other books first. All around it. It will make so much more sense.
This is so beautiful... I have been encouraged powerfully. I will read through the Bible for the first time.
This is one the most enjoyable reading of the Bible plans I’ve ever done. I’m learning so much. I never even thought about reading the Bible through chronologically, and it makes a huge difference!!! Thank you Tara Leigh Cobble for sharing your Recaps. They are so insightful and make a huge difference. Thank you ❤
God because you're real, please speak to me as I read the Bible.
I agree 100%. It's not "if" God is real. Because He is.
There have been a few times for me when some words have come to my mind that, I just knew were from God, but I did not ever remember reading them. Looked them up and lo and behold, I wasn't making it up. The Holy Spirit had given them to me at just the right time. They were in the Bible and I had then come to know where.
I always struggled with Job. That is, until Bible Recap. Going through Job with you encouraged me to go through the book chapter by chapter and take notes verse by verse. I’m still going through it on my own even though I’m reading Exodus with the recap. Thank you for your ministry and your heart for Christ.
God reveals what you need to know at the right time, perhaps through trials and therefore it is beneficial to read through the Bible each year.
I’m just starting to read through the Bible for the first time.
Awesome conversation.
My sisters and I did a Bible In A Year in 2022 and this talk really resonates with my experience. We are starting again 2024 having searched out some of the questions over this last year. Can't wait to see what new mysteries will be revealed. Amen
Just want to encourage you and what you're doing! A friend from childhood and Christian summer camp shared Bible Recap with me this morning at coffee. As my Biblical knowledge is piecemealed from jumping all over the Bible these past 3 years since coming to Christ, my heart's desire has really been to read it ALL chronologically, but also have context along with it! I'm now going to start up a small group of those from my church who will do the entire year program you have put together, meeting up monthly to discuss anything we don't understand or care to share. Really thankful to the Lord for what He has done in inspiring you, Tara-Leigh (via His channels of Pastor Lee and Andrew Dupree), to make the learning piece more digestible for those who haven't read the entire Bible and want to. Plan to report back soon! Thank you for helping make disciples!
Love this! This will br my second trip through the Bible. I learned so much.
I really like this- The Bible is a vehicle for friendship with God!
This will be my first year reading your plan and my second time through the whole Bible. After watching your prep videos I am very anxious to read your plan and see what God has in store for my life this year. Thank you so much for your ministry and this plan.
Same here, second time going through it intentionally through the year. May God bless your time in His Word.
This is me too❤
Same for me! Praise God for bringing us here. 🙌
22:29 - Prayer before reading the Bible. God, if you're real, will you please speak to me? 🙏🙏🙏
I'm looking forward to this study. I want a closer relationship with my God , the Father!!
I’ve read through the Bible in a year many times since becoming a Christian 50 years ago. I decided to give this reading of the Bible recap, and I’m so glad. I love how Tera Lee cobble recaps each reading. It’s so worthwhile encourage anyone to give it a try.
Humble yourself equals repentance. This is critical in the relationship with our Savior. Seek holiness.
I'm so excited to hear this, I have been trying to read my bible, but after a while I got confused and started to jump to some pages, but now, I do understand that God is the key to direct. Thank you so much.
I just finished my first year of reading through the whole Bible and just finished my first year with The Bible Recap. I thank God for this ministry. 🖤
This was a such a good conversation. Thank you.
Our Bible study is going through Bible Recap.
Thank you, Tara Lee, for sharing your thoughts and expertise!
This was so much of a blessing to me. I felt so touched and inspired as I listened to you. I felt the touch of the Holy Spirit - the desire to know God through His Word. Glory be to God!! Thank you so much and God bless you abundantly as He uses you to reach many more people into the Bible Recap. Amen. ☺☺☺❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Such great inspiration! 💕🙏😇
Just found this and I’m now going through your preparation videos
First saw the fruit of reading through the Bible many years ago from the man God used to lead me to Him , just took me 40 plus years to get with the program, I’m thankful
I've read the Bible through for 2 years. This plan was referenced on today's (1/1/2024) 'Daily Refresh' with Tara-Lee Cobble. I was looking for a chronological plan. God is always right on time. I'm looking forward to diving in. Blessings!
Same for me! Praise God for leading us here. 🙌
The fact that Pastor Lee doesn't remember what he told Tara that changed her life completely shows us the power of words. We may not remember what we said, but those words may build up or tear down the listener. Jesus said, “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.”- Mat 12፥36 (NKJV) May God help us to speak life, in Jesus's Name. Amen.
Ooh I absolutely enjoyed this conversation. Thank you both, God bless you and your ministries. Amen.
So appreciate this ministry.
Then content of this conversation is a joy to my soul. I look forward to diving into the Bible now and getting to know God as my Friend.
So appreciated this conversation. Thanks for sharing it.
#1 I'm excited to start this new year with this!
My family and I look forward to following the Bible Recap. Thank you for sharing!😊
Oh I love his explanations and analogies!
Great conversation. It encouraged me.
This interview was excellent and such a motivation to dive in this year! 🎉
My wife and I are loving this playlist!
I'd like to hear Tara's testimony.
This pastor shows why we need to slow down when reciting scripture... I couldn't even make out what he's quoting.
22:28 is what I needed to hear.
Such good advice and insight!
I'm excited and ready to fall deeper in love with God and to experience his love for me in a new miraculous and wonderful way. 💜🙏🏾🌻
Bring it! 👍🙏🏻🤗❤️ Thx Y’all!
This third episode was so helpful! They all are really. Thanks!
This is my second year of reading through the Bible with you! It's probably my 7th or 8th time to read through the entire Bible. Some years, in the regular order found in our Bibles, some years in different people's or groups' idea of how events really happened. What I enjoy with you and The Bible Recap is that your podcasts are so relatable and make concepts clear. I worked as a leader of children and teens for many, many years before retiring due to health reasons. I'm 68, and still learn something new every day - things I don't remember seeing before, even though I KNOW I've read it over and over again. God has shown me how fresh and new, and valid, He is today and every day. Oh, His great Love for me is amazing; but He expects me to learn, grow, and give that same love to others - not just the ones I see in church. I wholly and unequivocally recommend The Bible Recap to everyone who is searching for knowledge and the wonder of God.
I love this explanation!!
Really inspired by what Pastor said, a lot of good stuff.
Thanks for this interview! I appreciate the tips for reading through variety of points of view the 1st time around. I will do both reading with cinematic lens and find God's character.
Good stuff!! I’m a terrible reader and this was very encouraging.💜✝️
This was so good. Love his knowledge and now he brings forth our misconceptions of books that we have heard. Let us all read with an open mind and heart to see the treasures of God. ❤
Such a wonderful channel 💝 Adrian Dupree was instrumental in me beginning my relationship with God as well 🎉 God is so good!!!
Thank you for your ministry. I love your insights which are succinct and eye opening. I love God and others, hopefully this will encourage me to get out there and share His gospel of salvation. This is my 6th year reading the Bible, but the second with your plan. Love it.
Thank you.
Reading the end of Exodus when God gives Moses instructions for building the tabernacle was a struggle for me.
Great conversation, so excited to start reading the Bible with you guys again in the New Year!
I’m doing it with someone/ people I’m doing it with Tara Leigh! Amen
I did had very hard time reading Isaiah.
I read the Bible in a year 6 times on you version I will do your new testament rec cap first. Then your one year.🙏
I LOVE THIS 😍👩👧👧👨👨👦👦💓💜💝
I'm going to Seminary but I admit I need to read more Scriptures so i might be late reading what I'm supposed read
I followed the plan on the bible app, watched the 6 prep episodes, plan to print the reading plan and invite friends on social media. Lots of experienced people in this comment list, should I do anything else prior to starting on Jan 1st? Thanks!
Absolutely important to read the whole Bible. Not all over the place. By bits and pieces. Read each book from beginning to end. Straight through. You will see everything differently. Much more understanding... God subject. Very good. Most read book in the world. Ask God for truth. He will make truth known.
My pastor recently told me you know that I was in the year of the Jubilee I just turned 50 and of course I didn't know what the Jubilee was all about so I didn't look that up in the Bible still ones not clear, I have a friend help me and I found this site and coincidence let's just put it this way she was talking about Leviticus where the Jubilee occurred so now I understand a little more than I did.
Could you explain on Sunday you were talking about the new heaven and new earth. That is confusing for me. Could you go over this again please! Joanne Evans
I am trying to find the instrumental music you mentioned in this video. I think you called it the hour. I haven't been able to find it
🙏🕉️❤️ Thank you 😊
There are people who have a super hard time to memorize things. To be able to quote exactly and where in a Bible. Is a gift. No matter what. It is in our hearts and minds. We know when someone has tried to fool us or even made a mistake. God promises he would embed it in our hearts. It's true. What won me to God. Was a pastor who said. Never read it. Unless he tells us to read it. Then he gave a passage for us to read. Under that verse. Was a verse (We were not suppose read). It said we are responsible to learn for our selves. I was at tops. 6 or 7. From that moment on. I knew. I have to read it myself. Not to 100%believe and trust all a pastor ṭells us. It does not Always match up. Lots of time. It's personal opinion and not biblical. They make mistakes too. We are all human.
I’m thankful for the words spoken by you Lee in this video. That’s the Spirit of God speaking right through you. I’m someone that has been actively struggling with reading the Word for weeks and have been looking forward to this Bible study to help keep me accountable. Praise the Lord! I am excited for what is to come. Prayers for accountability are appreciated and I pray He continues to bless you both abundantly 🙏🏼. 23:49
Thank you so much for this video with Pastor Lee. I am so thirsty now to read more for God to reveal himself to me.
❤
6:47 Wake up call
Can we download this as an audio recording???
You can over on the audio podcast in whatever podcast app you use ◡̈
I am catholic our bible is a bit different then the protestant bible is that addressed as the reading comes to those books of the Bible?
I would suggest to read through the Bible all the way through. I'm not telling you what to do but I'm sure you will find there are things the Catholic Bible has added that isn't in the Bible. Deuteronomy 4:2 and Revelation 22:18-19 come to mind about adding and subtracting. And the last point I will say is when Jesus died Matthew 27:51. When the veil was torn from top to bottom. This meant that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy and there was no intercessor needed because we have the Holy Spirit. No where in the new testament is there need for any person to repent through another human, prophet, pastor, or priest. It is complete. Jesus died and rose again on the 3rd day. Our intercessor is the Holy Spirit.
You will learn so much through The Bible Recap. I would suggest that you try it and see. I have several friends who are devoutly Catholic, and teach Catechism. I still recommend this Bible plan to them. If you pray the prayers Tara Lee suggests in each daily Devotional, God will give you Wisdom and Understanding that He desires you to have. Just give it a try - and let us know what you find.
For when I come back later lol 14:35
What do you feel are the most important books and/or study guide, etc. on the site in order to begin the Bible Recap journey?
If you are reading and you can't think back what you just read read it again something was distracting you 🙏
I'm 64 years old and I'm just reading through it as a whole, my problem is getting through the geniology, it's sooo boring, especially reading the KJV, it's a hard read anyway, anyone got any wisdom how to not skip through the Begats lol
You realize there is a difference between Bible reading and Bible study. Do you also study the Bible? If so, what have you learned through study that you haven't learned through reading?
God intends to reveal himself to people.
OMG, Lee, you have revealed me here, struggling to read the Bible all my over 30 years. I tap into your words and am out this year to get going with the Bible recap. Lord help me in this journey 🙏
Satan has his own "👼" demons.
The people started building the tower because they didn't want to scatter. God confused their language and caused them to scatter. The prophet Isaiah said that God created the Earth to be inhabited. The people could have accomplished their plan according to God; so that's why God intervened.
