Join me, Chad Bird, in reading through the Bible in one year in 2025. It doesn't matter if it's your

first time or your hundredth time through the Bible. There's always more to learn about our Lord.

The reading schedule we will follow is called the blended plan. It has daily chapters from the Old

Testament and New Testament. And I will post a short video every day that unpacks one of the chapters

for that day.

So for the reading plan, for a link to daily videos, and for additional resources,

go to 1517.org forward slash one year.

May the Lord bless your daily study of his word in 2025.

Hi, Padkais listeners.

This is Amy Montravati, 1517 contributor and author of the new historical fiction, Broken Bonds,

a novel of the Reformation.

The year is 1524.

With the church fracturing and revolution brewing, the lives of Martin Luther, Desiderius Erasmus,

and Philip Melanchthin are woven

together as events spiral out of their collective control. Erasmus is pressured to take a public

stand against Luther. Malinthin is caught in the middle and forced to choose between the two men

he venerates. Journey with them as they discover the things that terrify and the hope that ultimately

leads to strength.

You can purchase your copy at 1517.org forward slash shop or head to the show notes for more information.
