🎉 Make 2018 your best year yet. 📆

Kickstart 2018

Make 2018 your best year yet.

The voices that you listen to will end up shaping your life: friends and family, news and entertainment, self-improvement articles and “life hacks” — even your own thoughts. But, this year, what would happen if you made God’s voice the one you hear most?

The Lord shows us how we should live, and he is pleased when he sees people living that way.

Psalm 37:23

Getting started is easier than you think.

How can you build a daily Bible practice in 2018? By taking it just one day at a time. Reading Plans, Devotionals — whatever you like to call them, Plans help you get God’s Word into the flow of your everyday life, by giving you just a little to read or listen to each day.
