The Bible Recap follows a chronological Bible reading plan and is a short daily recap by creator and host, Tara-Leigh Cobble. She’ll highlight and summarize that day’s Bible reading in a casual, easy to understand way. Each day’s Bible reading is approximately 12 minutes long and each recap is about 8 minutes long. Everything you need to get started is below You can READ, UNDERSTAND, and LOVE the Bible!

A great way to pray for your school, is to do a prayer walk around your school. This guide will help you know what to pray and stay focused! Gather your friends and do a prayer walk around your school!

SOAP is our Bible reading plan here at NH YTH. This method of Bible reading encourages students to journal along with reading their Bible for greater understanding. Currently, we are going through a 2 year Bible reading plan.
