HAVE YOU EVER CLOSED YOUR BIBLE AND THOUGHT, “WHAT DID I JUST READ?”

MAYBE YOU'VE TRIED TO READ THROUGH THE BIBLE BUT QUIT WHEN IT FELT CONFUSING OR IMPERSONAL?

The Bible Recap (TBR) follows a chronological Bible reading plan and is a short daily recap by creator and host, Tara-Leigh Cobble. She’ll highlight and summarize that day’s Bible reading in a casual, easy to understand way.

THE BIBLE RECAP IS HERE TO HELP!

The Bible Recap comes in several forms—book, podcast, or video. Each day’s Bible reading is approximately 12 minutes long and each recap is about 8 minutes long. Everything you need to get started is below. You can READ, UNDERSTAND, and LOVE the Bible!

HOW TO START

STEP 1

Choose your own adventure! Pick how you’d like to follow along with our Bible reading plan / recap with us. We have digital OR print options, or you can do a combination of both!

  • BIBLE READING & LISTENING
    Download the Bible App (free) or Dwell Bible app (subscription).

    On the Bible App, follow the TBR page, where you’ll find our different reading plans. Start the whole Bible (365-day) OR New Testament (3 months). On the Dwell app, search for “The Bible Recap” plan.

    Tips for our plans in the Bible App:
    1. How to access our recap videos IN the Bible App plans
    2. How to access show notes

  • BIBLE READING
    To follow along with our reading plan, download/print a reading plan:

    Whole Year (365-Day)
    New Testament
    New Testament (phone version)

    Note: Please do not buy a print Chronological Bible; it will likely be laid out differently than our reading plan. All you need is a regular Bible! We use the ESV (English Standard Version) of the Bible.

    RECAP
    You can purchase The Bible Recap book from our TBR Store. It comes in several different colors and sizes, with the same content in each!

The Bible Recap is also available in SPANISH and ASL!

STEP 2

Before you begin, watch or listen to our PREP EPISODES to set yourself up for success! Tara-Leigh shares helpful tips so you can get the most out of your time in Scripture + avoid common pitfalls.

PRO TIP:
We launch episodes daily, starting on Jan 1. If you start on a different day, consider scrolling back to listen to the Prep Episodes, then adjusting the settings in your podcast app to play in sequential order (process varies in each app). Do a web search for your app’s name + “how to play episodes sequentially” to get the step-by-step process or your particular podcast app.

READY TO RECAP!

Now that you’ve prepped, you’re ready to start!

Each day, you’ll complete the Bible reading
and watch, read, or listen to that day’s recap.

Lather, rinse, repeat!
