Start the New Testament First? Here's Why

Starting a new year often comes with the same question: what Bible reading plan should I use?
In this video, I break it down simply and practically so you don’t feel overwhelmed.

We’ll cover three key truths:

1️⃣ The best plan is the one you actually do
It doesn’t matter if your plan is chronological, thematic, or daily — what matters is consistency. Reading some of the Bible faithfully is better than starting a “perfect” plan and quitting by February.

2️⃣ Why starting with the New Testament often works best
For many people, especially beginners or those restarting, New Testament plans help you focus on Jesus, the gospel, and the foundations of the Christian faith before tackling the Old Testament.

3️⃣ The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble
We’ll talk about why The Bible Recap has helped so many Christians stay on track, understand what they’re reading, and see the bigger story of Scripture.

If you’ve struggled to stay consistent in God’s Word, this video is for you. Let’s make this the year you don’t just start a Bible plan — but finish one.
