“having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,” Ephesians 1:18
This study is started with a memory of Chief Don Carlson, US Navy, who cherished the Bible and shared it freely.
Welcome to 2023 and a 67 week long read through the Bible, tailored for men, and approached from a warrior’s perspective.
We know there are lots of Bible studies out there, but we have not found one that succinctly goes through every book, with simple select scriptures unpacked for real life applications as a warrior.
Why 67 weeks ? Because there are 66 books in the Bible and we start this week with an intro. Then each week you will go into a new book of the Bible and focus on key scriptures, those live wires, selected for you as a man. These DBOs will provide you tools and a wisdom perspective for the battles all of us are in.
You’re going to need to man up during this study as we will tie in current events, and real life issues with each scripture, as that is what the Bible as an operational manual is for.
Please share the upcoming DBOs and invite your friends, they can jump in any time on this journey.
We are asking you to participate and comment online (at https://www.joshuacommission.org/) as this is your study with us, and we want to learn from you.
Occasionally an author will want to geek out and go deep on a theological focus and will post additional comments on-line in our comments for you to go deeper. Join in!
Daily Battle Order:
YOU are challenged to join us. Christian men are falling away as people want to deconstruct their faith and the Bible. During covid 26 Million “Christian’s” walked away from reading the Bible. In TJC we consider it unacceptable for a man to call himself a Christian and consider themselves saved and they don’t read the words of our God to us.
Throughout 2023 - be the man, step into the deep waters and join us in the journey of your life.
PS - yes we did the math and this will go into April 2024. We are not short changing God’s word
I look forward to going through this study as I've never read the entire Bible, cover to cover, and I want to develop a love for reading my Bible rather than a task I want to do. Like Don, I want to learn to cherish the Bible and share it's stories with everyone I meet in my own way.
