What is the purpose of Bible Roadmaps content?

 To help you study the Bible.


Many Christians read the Bible occasionally or for personal journalling, but struggle with the discipline of studying the Bible. This can be because we don't know where to start, how to interpret some of the complexities of the Bible, or we simply get distracted with the infinity pools that are so easily accessible to us. Daily Bible journalling and devotions are a great way to sustain a healthy relationship with God along with prayer and fellowship. But this shouldn't replace setting times aside to study the themes and concepts of the Bible to deepen your understanding of it. I believe that your journalling and devotions should flourish when you get to know God more through the scriptures.

We're aiming for this site to provide basic study techniques, review foundational Biblical principles, and help you be a better disciple so that you can disciple others. This isn't necessarily a theology blog, but is intended to teach you how to capture all the multiple inputs of biblical teachings that are available to us and what to do with all that information. We call this process "building your Bible Roadmap".

And studying the Bible is discipline! You'll need to make sacrifices and cut out things that consume your time (eg, endlessly scrolling through social media) to do this. In future posts we'll share some practical ways you can make time, take smart notes, and apply this to your Christian walk. And the journey of building your Bible Roadmap is something that can inspire and excite your the more you sustain it.

So what do I do with a Bible Roadmap?

The goal of building your Bible Roadmap is to help you understand how to get to the destination of knowing God intimately and being in relationship with Jesus. The Bible can get you to that destination as it:

  1. Reveals the sovereignty and characteristics of God
  2. Clarifies the need for the Christ Jesus as our Lord and Saviour
  3. Articulates an order and wisdom that God intends for us to live by
  4. Shares stories of how humans have failed to live according to God's will, but God the Father has never given up on us

Learning how the Bible does this and the various themes, patterns and concepts that flow throughout it all is what contributes to your Bible Roadmaps. And the more you know your roadmap, the more you'll be able to help others navigate through theirs. A disciple needs to have a deep conviction of these truths so they can stay aligned to the will of God in their lives, and so that can display that to others. We also need to understand that other people have only journey to a small or completely different part of their Bible Roadmap. Even though their destination is the same, the way they get there was completely different to how we got there.

Your roadmap can be a powerful tool not only for yourself, but for that God has placed around you.

30 Day Bible Shred 2025

The Bible Shred 2025 is coming up! Each year this is a personal challenge that many understake to read through the whole Bible (yes, the entire Bible) in 30 days. The goal is to: To overview the whole Bible. Try and get as much of the Scripture into your brain at the start of the year. But the Bible is a very big body of text, and 30 days is not a lot of time. Here are some of my favourite tips and suggestions that I’ve found have really helped me over the years that I’ve been doing this. 1) Find a format that is appropriate for your season of life The three primary formats for the Bible is a physical paper Bible, a digital Bible read through apps or ereaders, or audio Bibles. They all have their benefits and limitations, so its best to find an option that works for you that will help you accomplish your goal. Physical bibles often let you notice a lot more, but take dedicated time and space to read. If you have young kids or travel frequently, then this may not be the ...

Book Review: Fallen by Tim Chaffey

I’ve recently finished a book by Dr Tim Chaffey called “Fallen”. In it he explores just 4 verses in the Bible. You may be wondering how an entire book can be written on just 4 verses of the Bible - but these are some of the most misinterpreted and misunderstood verses of the Bible. They are found in Genesis 6:1-4 and go like this: “Genesis 6:1–4 (ESV) When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.” If you’ve never read or seen this section of Genesis, then you are likely confused ...

Writing for Lent 2025 - The Book of Matthew

I recently stumbled across a fascinating Youtube channel called IMBeggar . From their website: “IMbeggar is about finding new, different, creative, positive, entertaining, hard-hitting, and most importantly, accessible ways to talk about God” What draw my attention to this channel was a video about Lent. Here is a link to it: Lent is a 40 day fast leading up to Easter weekend traditionally practiced by the Catholic and Orthodox church. Starting 46 days before Easter (the fast often excludes Sunday’s), and is intended as a time of preparation and focus before celebrating the Passion week of Jesus. Something that I’ve been doing each year during Lent is writing out one of the Gospel narratives by hand. I call this “Writing for Lent”. This is an interesting exercise as I am forced to slow down and take in every word from the Scriptures. If the 30 Day Bible Shred is a sprint, Writing for Lent is a slow stroll through the park. I can take in every little details and peice of literat...
