What books is everyone reading? What should I be reading?

What books is everyone reading? What should I be reading?

In a world flooded with noise—endless scrolls, notifications, opinions—picking up the Bible feels like stepping into a still forest. Time slows. The soul breathes. And somehow, in the middle of ordinary days, you encounter something eternal.

[Brendan Pratt @bpratt116]

The Bible meets you exactly where you are. It doesn't present polished people. Abraham lied out of fear. David fell into adultery. Peter was bold yet cowardly. Paul once persecuted believers. You find companions in the text—and then you find hope.

Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." Our hearts were made for meaning, beauty, purpose, and love. The Bible delivers all four in abundance. The difference between cotton candy and a home-cooked meal.

Scripture reshapes your worldview:

- Value people over possessions
- Forgive when it's hard
- Stand for what's right
- Embrace generosity and humility
- Trust that suffering has meaning

Marriages strengthened. Addictions broken. Anxious minds given peace.

How to experience the joy of Scripture yourself:

- Start small but consistent (15 min daily)
- Pray before you read
- Read whole books, not just verses
- Journal what stands out
- Share what you're learning
- Don't rush—sit with a single verse for days

Never really read the Bible? Start with the Gospel of John. One chapter a day. Just listen.

"How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" —Psalm 119

What's one verse or story that has brought you joy lately? I'd love to hear. 📖✨

Prayer isn’t about perfect words—it’s about a real relationship. This year, set aside 10 minutes each morning to talk to God like a friend. Thank Him, confess, ask, listen. Watch how consistent prayer transforms your days in 2026.

Want to retire rich? Live below your means today. Skip the fancy car or latest gadget—invest that money instead. Compound interest is your best friend. Small sacrifices now lead to big rewards later. Time to level up your wealth game! 🚀 #InvestSmart

Tired of living paycheck to paycheck? Start by tracking every dollar—budget like your future depends on it. Cut unnecessary expenses, build that emergency fund, and watch your stress melt away. Financial freedom starts with discipline! 💪 #PersonalFinance

9 recommendations for Bible reading in 2026.

1. Set a time and make a plan. Your Bible will not crawl into your lap. If you don't plan well, lesser things will crowd out greater things.

2. Read slowly. What's the rush? Being fast is not the goal.

3. Leave time to ponder and reflect. Meditation is how we chew the cud.

4. Underline and write. Take notes in the margins, circle things that stand out, even keep a journal with more extended thoughts and questions.

5. Identify verses to memorize. Memorization increases internalization. Hide the Word in your heart.

6. Find places in Scripture that are easy for you to ignore. All of Scripture is God-breathed, so let's read like that's true.

7. Pair Bible-reading and prayer together. Do what Don Whitney calls "praying the Bible." Let what you're reading inform how and what you pray.

8. Read large chunks. Maybe you can't do this every day. But what if you had goals to read through certain Bible books in a single sitting? Take an afternoon and read through Matthew or Isaiah or Proverbs or Revelation.

9. Remember the kind of Book you're reading. The Bible isn't like any other book. It is the inspired, authoritative revelation of the true and living God.

@theologich What are you rereading?

@DiscussingFilm I think if I had to pick which movie I’m seeing that day, it has to be Dune. Avengers will eventually come out on Disney +

@theologich That’s a crazy thing…she’s Catholic right?

[Brendan Pratt @bpratt116]

This what happens when our theology doesn’t lead to our practice. Bad orthodoxy leads to bad orthopraxy.

Megyn Kelly says she’s prayed to Charlie Kirk for guidance…

The only person we should pray to is Jesus Christ
