One of the primary ways God changes us is through His Word. Bible reading is one of the most important practices in growing our relationship with Jesus. If you don't have a daily practice of reading God's Word, now is a great time to start!

But, if you want to start doing anything, you need a plan. At Rolling Hills, we refer to our daily reading plans as Daily Step. For 2025, we have a number of different options for you to cultivate this daily practice.

New to Reading the Bible?

If you're new to starting the discipline of daily Scripture reading, we would suggest going through our "30 Days in the Gospel of Mark" plan. In Mark, you’ll learn more about who Jesus is, His life on earth, and why He came.
