- Choose a reading plan; it could cover anywhere from one book to the whole Bible.
- Find a blank journal to record three things as you read: (1) any questions you have about each reading; (2) one thing that stands out to you from each reading; and (3) one thing you’ll do in response to each reading, applying its teaching to your life (perhaps including a verse to memorize).
Group Discussion

- Share about a time when a verse you’ve memorized came to the rescue for you.
- Group Leader: Walk your group through the steps of downloading the YouVersion App, choosing a translation to read, choosing a Bible reading plan (individually), and listening to a passage audibly.
