Cadre's Read The Bible Together Challenge
For years now we've been talking about "the 15 minutes a day that will change your life forever.” So this is your invitation to join us—and to invite others to join you—in this 2024 adventure. You'll be reading daily with Bill & Stacy Allison, Dave & Rennie Garda and friends.
It'll tune our lives together (that's what Havering together with the Holy Spirit does best). Plus, if you use the YouVersion app (in our Cadre friends reading group), you can share insights with us.
Of course, we're talking about reading the Bible. But not just reading the Bible—as good as that can be. What we're talking about is reading the Bible together. Why together? Because reading the Bible by yourself is great, but reading the Bible together is exponentially more transformative.
Don't believe us? Here are two true stories: True Story #1 True Story #2.
An Invitation to Read the Whole Story—With Jesus at the Center
Friends,
Each year, a few of us choose to do something simple—but deeply formative: We read the entire Bible together as disciplemaking friends. This year, we’re using the God’s Love Letter – A Chronological Plus reading plan on YouVersion.
We chose this plan because of its simplicity and focus:
• Scripture only — no commentary or devotionals
• Chronological flow — the order the story unfolds
• Jesus at the center — the Gospels are read twice,
so we spend the year walking closely with Jesus
• A prayerful rhythm — Psalms and Proverbs are also
read twice, helping shape our hearts and prayers
• A manageable daily pace — steady, realistic readings
that fit everyday life
This isn’t about checking boxes or keeping up appearances. It’s about giving ourselves space to listen—to hear God’s voice through His Word and to keep returning to Jesus as the center of the story and of our lives. There’s no pressure to read perfectly or never miss a day. This plan simply gives us a shared pathway, so we’re formed together—even as we read on our own.
We read knowing others are opening the same Scriptures, walking the same timeline, and spending the year with the same Savior.
