New Year, New Plans, New Habits

2 Corinthians 5:17 Verse Image

The old year is gone. The new year is your chance to start fresh. Would you like to become a new person in 2018? Just make one small change. Do it today — right now. Then repeat it each day. When you meditate on God’s Word every day, over time those few minutes will add up to big change.

Start a new Bible Plan now, and start each day in this new year with a fresh perspective.

Didn’t find what you were looking for?

With thousands of Plans to choose from, finding one that fits you is easy.

⏰ It’s not too late…

Been putting off getting into the Bible?

The key to making positive changes that stick (like spending time in God’s Word) is simply picking something small, then repeating it every day.

Reading Bible on phone

That’s just what Bible Plans do.

Each day, the Bible App gives you a short, manageable passage to read or listen to. If you like, you can have your Plan remind you when to read.

The best strategy is to start with a shorter Plan, just a few days. As soon as you complete it (👏👏👏), start your next one. Over time, you’ll see a habit form, and you’ll gain the confidence to take on longer, more in-depth Plans.

You can do this!

Life is better with Friends.

Plans with Friends

The Bible reminds us again and again that we need relationships with people we can trust: close friends who will encourage us, inspire us, challenge us, love us, and pray for us. And they need us to do the same for them.1

“Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

John 13:34b-35


Learning about the Bible is better with Friends, too.

As we shared with you a few days ago, Plans are great at helping you get God’s Word speaking into your life every day. And, talking about the Bible with trusted friends fuels your spiritual growth, even as it draws you closer to one another.

Plans with Friends brings together the best of both.

Complete each Plan day on a shared schedule, then talk it over in a group-text-style discussion. Study the Bible together in a small group, or work through challenging issues with close friends, or simply invite friends to share meaningful conversation centered around Scripture. However you use it, Plans with Friends helps you discover things in God’s Word together that you might not notice on your own.

Starting is easy:

  • Start any Plan
  • Select “With Friends”
  • Choose a start date
  • Invite your Friends

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
