Hi friends, I am Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four

books of the New Testament in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories

the miracles. If you are joining us for the very first time, welcome, welcome, welcome.

We are so glad you're here. We are on our seventh round of reading the Gospels. Each month

we get to read all four books. It's about three chapters a day, about 20-ish minutes. So

go ahead and subscribe today and join us as we read the Gospels together. Commit to just

is a form where you can drop your questions. We say often, that you don't have to be in

the Gospels every day to be changed, but every day you're in the Gospels will change

you. And each month we like to switch around the order in which we read the books and

the version we're reading in. You can go back through the podcast feed or on YouTube,

and we already have six different reading plans already available for you from January

to June. And for July, we'll be reading the Christian standard version, the CSB. Yes,

we read through this version back in May and loved it, but this time we're reading in

a different order, starting with the book of John instead of Matthew. We have a couple
