12-Month Family Scripture Challenge — Grow Together in God’s Word!
The 12-Month Family Scripture Challenge is a year-long devotional rhythm designed to draw your family into Scripture one verse at a time.
What it is:
This challenge gives families 30 Scripture passages per month, usually one short verse per day, that align around a monthly theme like trust, hope, patience, wisdom, and more.
Each month has a different theme that helps focus your Scripture reading and family discussion.
Most of the verses are short (1–2 verses), making it easy for all ages to read, reflect, and discuss together.
Families can read these verses at mealtime, in the car, at bedtime, or whenever your household is together.
After reading, take a moment to talk about how the verse connects with that month’s theme and then close in prayer.
