Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Hi, this is David Platt.

I want to thank you for praying God's word with us through this podcast.

And I want to let you know that this series of Pray the Word is a little different from what you may be used to as far as just taking

a book of the Bible and going chapter by chapters successively one after the other. So I want to

give you a little context about what Pray the Word is going to look like. The church that I have

the privilege of pastoring, McLean Bible Church in greater Washington, D.C., is reading and studying

through the story of scripture together this year. So we're going to start in Genesis 1,

and we're going to walk through a Bible reading plan that's six days a week, where we will

cover the story of scripture chronologically.

So we'll go from Genesis to Revelation, but along the way, we will be looking at different

parts of the Bible as they appear in time to try to see how the story of scripture fits together.

The Bible reading plan has about one or two chapters a day. And so for Pray the Word,

what I'm going to do is take one verse from that day's reading and let it lead us to pray accordingly.

And then the next day do the same, the next day. So what that means is we won't hit every chapter

in the Bible. So over the course of this Bible reading plan, we won't read every single chapter in scripture.

So we will be hitting select texts and they will be in chronological order.

So not necessarily in the order in which we see them in our Bible, for example, in the table of contents.

But I hope it will be helpful for you as you track along.

You're obviously welcome to join in the Bible reading plan that we're walking through if

you'd like.

I certainly don't want to pull you away from anything you and your local church are doing.
