Discipleship Journals for an Extended Journey
Ready to study beyond one short biblical book? Follow Jesus through the four Gospels or read and reflect on every chapter of the New Testament.
The Gospels Discipleship Journal
Follow Jesus Beyond Sunday.
Journey chronologically through selected readings from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John while developing rhythms of Scripture reading, prayer, reflection, memory, mission, and obedience.
NT260 Discipleship Journal
Read the New Testament with Purpose.
Read, reflect on, and respond to all 260 chapters of the New Testament—from Matthew through Revelation—using a sustainable five-readings-per-set rhythm.

Bible First. Resources Second.
A Simple Rhythm You Can Use Anywhere
The journal provides structure without replacing the work of reading, thinking, praying, and responding for yourself.
Pray
Come to God with a humble and teachable heart. Ask Him to help you understand His Word and respond faithfully.
Read
Read the selected passage slowly, notice important details, and record the words, ideas, and questions that stand out.
Ask
Use P.E.T.S. to consider promises and praise, examples, truths and teaching, sin, and Scripture to remember.
Pray Again
Turn what you discovered into worship, confession, thanksgiving, intercession, and a concrete step of obedience.
