The Year You Finish: A Simple 15-Minute Guide to Reading the Bible

We trade guilt for grace and show a simple way to build a Bible-in-a-year rhythm that fits real life. Fifteen minutes, a right-fit plan, and a friend for accountability turn a fragile intention into a steady habit rooted in purpose.

• New year expectations versus real-life rhythms
• Why plans fail and how to rethink success
• Find a clear personal why that endures
• Build a 15-minute daily framework that sticks
• Four habit keys to remove friction and start
• Plan options: straight, mixed, chronological, five-day
• Grace for missed days with two recovery paths
• Accountability through a simple reading buddy
• Shift from completion to connection for lasting change

If you thought of someone who's been wanting to further their relationship and connection with God, but don't know where to start, please send this their way
