If you’ve ever wanted to read through the entire Bible in a year, you know it can feel a little overwhelming. Knowing where to start and how to stay consistent can be challenging.
One resource that has helped me is The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble. It provides a simple daily reading plan along with short recap videos that help explain what you just read.
The structure makes it much easier to understand the bigger story of the Bible while building a consistent habit of reading Scripture.
What Is The Bible Recap?
The Bible Recap is a one-year chronological Bible reading plan. Each day includes a short section of Scripture to read, followed by a recap that helps explain the key themes from the passages.
After completing the daily reading, you can watch a short recap video from Tara-Leigh Cobble, usually about 8 minutes long, where she walks through the main points of the reading and connects it to the overall story of the Bible.
You can follow the plan through The Bible Recap app or by using The Bible Recap book.
The Kids Version With Ms. Emily
One of the things we love about The Bible Recap is that there is also a kid-friendly version that released in January 2025!
Ms. Emily shares short recap videos designed for children that summarize the same daily reading in a simple and engaging way. These videos are usually under three minutes, making them perfect for younger kids.
How We Include Our Kids
Our kids aren’t quite old enough to sit through all of the daily Bible chapters, so we use a slightly modified approach.
I go through the daily Bible Recap reading myself and then explain the main story or lesson to the kids in a way they can understand. After that, we watch the Ms. Emily recap video together.
The Bible Recap has made reading through the Bible feel simple and manageable for our family. Even small moments of learning together are helping our kids grow familiar with God’s Word.
