Your reading streams
Choose your track.
Stream 1
Gospels
Matthew → Mark → Luke → John → loops
Always in the Gospels. The heart of the whole system.
Stream 2
Pentateuch
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
The Torah — one chapter per day, read continuously.
Stream 3
History & Prophets
Joshua through Malachi — 29 books
The historical narrative and prophetic literature of the OT.
Stream 4
Wisdom
Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon
All five wisdom books in a single stream, read continuously.
Stream 5
NT Letters
Acts through Revelation
The church's letters and the Apocalypse — one chapter per day.
The difference between A and B is a single split: in B, Psalms and Proverbs come out of the Wisdom stream and become their own sixth stream. It's a small structural change with a meaningful effect — Psalms and Proverbs are the most devotional books in the Wisdom corpus, and having them separate gives them more consistent daily presence.
If 60–75 minutes is sustainable, Intensive A is the right place. If you're regularly finding yourself wanting more, Intensive B is the ceiling.
Weekly rhythm
Saturday is always reflection day.
Same rhythm options as every plan. The reading volume goes up — the structure stays the same.
Mon – Fri
Saturday: reflect. Sunday: rest.
Mon – Sat
Saturday: read and reflect. Sunday: rest.
Every day
Read every day. Saturday still doubles as reflection day.
