Results of several research studies indicate reading the Bible at least four times a week is the minimum number of times required to significantly impact both the behavioral aspects of spiritual growth and self-perception.
While pastors and other church staff are typically believed to read the Bible more than the typical church member, how much of that time is spent reading the Bible for personal spiritual growth?
KY Ministries is hosting a series of Bible reading challenges in 2025. Each month, we will read together through a book and read 4-7 days per week. The goal is for all who participate, no matter where they start, to develop a passion for reading scripture and a reading habit to continue beyond the challenge.
