Happy New Year's Day, 26, and that means we launched this podcast into year number 14 now.

What an amazing right.

All made possible by the grace of God and by your involvement in listening, sending us to

questions and praying for us.

And, of course, financially supporting us over all these years.

Thank you to each of you for your role and making it all happen.

You mean a lot to us.

So thank you.

Well, I bet you would agree that making a personal mission statement could bring focus to your

life in 2026, but where do you begin?

That's today.

But before we get there, I hope one of your priorities in

2026, at least one of them, includes the commitment to reading the whole Bible with us. If so,

you might already have a blank, fresh Bible reading slate ready to go. I have a new one on my desk

right now that just printed out. 1,200 empty boxes ready to check off this year, four readings per day,

300 days of readings with breaks at the end of each month. 10 to 15 minutes of reading per day is

the commitment Pastor John and I have made and will be using the Navigator's Bible reading

plan again in 26, the same plan we used last year. And we plan to address your questions about key texts

along the way throughout the year. So this is our invitation to you to read the entire Bible

with us as well. For some of you, this will be your first attempt. Welcome along. If not,

welcome back. You can find the Navigator's Bible Reading Plan online by searching for it.

You can just find the PDF, print it, and join in with us today. It begins today in reading
