I can’t recommend the Bible Recap enough! I’ve read the Bible through twice, but as I’m doing this plan I’m actually *understanding* it. When I go to church and something is preached on that I’ve read about a light goes on and I think…wow, I know what he’s referring to, I know about this! It’s been a game changer for me!
I just finished The Bible Recap for the first time and it was so good! It helped me to truly understand God’s Word. I can’t wait to start it again, but this time with a group.
2024 had a LOT of health challenges for me, but also blessings. I am truly experiencing God's peace that passes all understanding! I am amazed by the family and friends who are surrounding me through this time. I just feel so much gratitude and peace in the middle of an otherwise scary situation. i am planning to do the Bible Recap plan this year and am really excited for it. I always start off strong, wanting to year my Bible in a year, but have never actually done it.
Hey there. This was very encouraging, Emma. I'M encouraged. So as for what blessing I got to experience this year, it's getting to 10 years of marriage with my hubby. We're still in awe that it's been that long, but it's been a joy experiencing life with him despite the trials, and moving from one country to another. I'm glad to have him by my side. Thanks for your uplifting message. -Hanna
My word for the year is joy. This past year God has been showing me areas of my life where I've been harboring a lot of discontentment. And I want to fix that. I want to be content in HIM not my circumstances. And I want to reclaim the joy that can't be shaken. This year God sustained me and motivated me to read my Bible in one year. Never thought I could do it. But I did. He also blessed my husband, baby, and I with our first house. But what I remember often is that if God did nothing but send His Son to die on the cross for my sins, that would be more than enough. Everything else is just blessing on blessing and all I can say is thank you.
The huge God movement this year, was getting me out of a toxic job (that I was in for 6 years) and into a new job that is just the opposite. The coolest thing though, is He put me teaching in the same elementary school I attended years ago-where some of my teachers STILL TEACH! The way I was welcomed in, treated like I mattered and my voice did too, and the kindness offered me was amazing. It was weird at first because it felt like something was wrong, but I realized it’s because I wasn’t leaving work angry every single day. I was going home mentally okay and ready for the next day. How amazing to be here now
I loved this video, Emma! I’m planning to read the bible in a year in 2025 as well. This past year, I asked God to make a way for me to stay home with my son. I was teaching so I had to make a decision before the new year started. God opened up a remote position for me that allowed me to stay home!
Dear Emma, Hi from Germany! I'm a teacher as well. 😊 For me, this year has been very challenging in multiple ways (personal, in my family, health and professionally seen). However, I managed these challenges or at least have started to challenge them. There are so many persons I am thankful for but I mostly thank my class in year 7. They have been so supportive, understanding and even protective that I had the chance to heal and find my way out of the challenges. Therefore, I thank God for sending these 27 kids my way and making them the way they are. I wouldn't miss one of them and truly: we are not just a class, we are a well respected and interlinked community. ❤ I just wanted to share this. Thanks for your words, since without you knowing me, they matched and made me smile in a time I struggle to smile. All the best for 2025 for you and your beloved ones. 😊
my friend and i started the Bible recap in july and it has been such a blessing!!! i’ve never read the whole Bible before but we’re about half way through and it’s been an incredible journey! it’s available on the YouVersion app and each day there are chronological readings and short videos explaining different parts of them. my favorite aspect is that each one has a “God-shot” so you’re really learning more about who HE is, rather than just a lot of information or history. i totally agree with what you said, that having a plan really does keep you on top of reading the Bible daily and reading more of it as well. i’ve been thinking similarly about prayer as well, so that was so encouraging!🤍🤍🤍🤍
God answered me and my husband’s prayers and blessed us with the most beautiful baby boy. I’ve wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember and I didn’t know it would be as sweet or as challenging as it has been. But God has been showing me His love through our little blessing. I am so in awe! I can’t wait to see all that He does in 2025. Your channel has been such an encouragement to me throughout the years, Emma. But this year, I believe God used your channel for so much encouragement. I am so thankful you’re doing this and cannot wait to hear how God continues to move in your life. ❤
I’m about to finish reading through the whole Bible for the first time ever!!! I’ve literally been attempting this for the past seven years, and I’m so excited to finally accomplish this goal. I did the Bible Recap with Tara Leigh Cobble, and it’s been amazing! The Dwell Bible app has been a huge blessing, and I think you’d love it too!!
Emma, you are so encouraging. I think God helped me to find your channel. I always feel happy after watching/listening. Happy 2025 to you and your family!
This year I grew closer to God and I couldnt be more grateful for that. Everything you talked about in this video is exactly how I’ve been feeling and I think God meant for me to find your channel this year so you could help me with my journey to him ❤ thank you 🙏🏼 Happy New Year Emma 😊
This was so encouraging! Thank you so much for sharing what the Lord is speaking to you! This was such a blessing to listen too! I am a part-time working mama of two and I also homeschool. This past month I have just felt super unsettled. I know 2025 is going to wonderful! It really hit home for me when you said something along the lines of "How can you spend so much time with someone and not reflect them". That's what my heart desire is to reflect God and walk in HIS peace! I fail constantly but that just means I need time with HIM. Thank you for that reminder!
Your words reminded me of a song our church sings that has been constantly in my mind lately. I wanted to share the lyrics. “Just to be in Your Presence, sitting at Your feet. And to know that when You’re near me, my joy will be complete. Just to feel Your loving touch divine, to know I’m Yours and You are mine, in Your presence, Lord, is where I long to be” Love your videos and always leave feeling encouraged ♥️
It’s been a year with the highest highs and the lowest lows. We welcomed our third baby, then 4 weeks later my grandma (who raised me like a mom) succumbed to her dementia and went to be with the Lord. It’s crazy how full and broken your heart can be all at the same time. But God has been with me every step, he is so so good ❤ you encouraged me to start a prayer journal too. I’ve developed a really good habit of reading my Bible every day. Now it’s time to work on my prayer life because it can definitely be better.
God guided me through lots of big changes and health issues this year. I also feel exhausted but hopeful to seek God more in 2025 and try to focus on him instead of on problems.
I'm old but still need to set goals to inspire me and stay close to God. I'm all alone with no family so it's hard and I struggle with depression/anxiety but that said I'm blessed beyond reason. This last year my one thing that God did was get me out of this house and got me walking on this road in front of my house. About a mile walk. I could not as hard as I tried, but with His help I made it last year and I have walked just about every day. Also started back to church going every Sunday and Wednesday. It has blessed me greatly. Always a believer, but you know how you stop and well life gets in the way. For me that is an accomplishment! God is good. I have depression/anxiety so I struggle to be with people, but I'm trying and well God is good. Loved your video.
God blessed me with my second baby girl this year. I’m a teacher, and He also blessed me to become part time so that I could have a better work/home life balance. The way everything worked out can only be attributed to Him, and I’m so thankful ❤️
literally could’ve made this video myself. this is the first year i’m not making a vision board full of “goals” in a long time for all of the same reasons. im right there with ya 💯💯
“I gunna sing in the middle of the storm….my weapon is a melody” This year has been one of the hardest, lots of health issues and mental health issues. I am a worship leader and when I sing I feel like I can forget about my pain.
I had my youngest daughter in December 2023 and even though this year has been challenging with two kiddos 14 months apart, it has been such a HUGE blessing as well❤
Happy new year, Emma! Man, your content is such a breath of fresh air! Thanks for being here and sharing in a way that is authentic to what the Lord has called you to do!
God brought me back to religion! I was in such a horrible state of mind and there were so many signs that i needed to go to God! I took one of those signs and I feel like a whole new person!
I’m not religious as I could be but I do believe in God. So I really admire you and how you do everything based on your devotion to God!! I lost my dad this year so it was a hard year for my family!! Hoping for a better 2025 so keep us in your prayers!!
After 10 miscarriages in 6 years, God answered our longing prayers and blessed us with a daughter born in September! 2024 has been such a high after years of lows, and we are excited to watch her grow as the years go on 🥰 thank You, Jesus!!
Hi Emma. I recently deleted my instagram however would love to join you in reading the Bible in a year. Would you mind sharing what bible plan you decided to follow ? Thank you so much for your content. It truly brings me lots of peace and conviction at the same time ❤
“I kinda wanna sit and rot, I kinda wanna declutter my entire house” this exactly explains the feeling of the week between Christmas and new years lol

I’m thankful for God healing my parents of cancer and keeping them healthy and safe.

Prayers for a school job in the new year in my local town.

God showed me the book, love and respect by emerson eggerichs. ♥️
I would like to read the bible more and limit screen times except youtube kid songs
