Why it matters

Four days a week changes everything.

Research shows that people who read the Bible four or more times a week experience measurable, real-world change — not just spiritually, but in their relationships, their emotions, and their daily lives.

  • less loneliness
  • fewer anger issues
  • less bitterness in relationships
  • lower rates of alcoholism
  • less spiritual stagnation

Statistics cited by Scott Lindsey. Part-time engagement does not produce the same effect — the transformation comes from consistency.
