Scripture for the Journey:

The Bible in a Year 

The Bible is a remarkable collection of writings that has guided, challenged, and inspired people for centuries. Yet for many people, the sheer size and complexity of the Bible can make it feel difficult to approach or understand.

Scripture for the Journey: The Bible in a Year is designed to help make that journey more approachable. In this video series, I walk through all 66 books of the Bible, offering a clear and accessible overview of each one. Rather than focusing on academic detail, these reflections are intended to help viewers understand the story, message, and spiritual significance of each book.

Each episode provides a guided introduction to one or more books of Scripture, highlighting key themes, historical context, and how the message of that book speaks into our lives today.

Whether you are new to the Bible, returning to it after some time away, or looking for a fresh way to explore Scripture, this series offers an invitation to journey through the entire Bible together, one step at a time.
