What can you expect when you set out on a journey through the entire Bible? Pastor John offers three cautions and nine life-transforming hopes for every Bible reader. If this is my first read through the Bible, what should I expect? So many great Bible reading questions arrive at the start of a new year, like this one from a listener named Mike. “Hello Pastor John! I have been blessed by your ministry for many years. In the year ahead I hope to read my Bible from cover to cover for the very first time, using the Discipleship Journal Bible reading plan you use.

And what obstacles must I expect to overcome to pull this off?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/what-should-i-expect-my-first-time-through-the-bible Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
