Bible in a Year
Read Through the Bible—One Day at a Time
Ever wanted to read the whole Bible but didn’t know where to start? You’re not alone—and we’re here to help. Our Read the Bible in a Year journey is designed to make daily Scripture reading simple, meaningful, and sustainable.
Each day, Dr. Timothy Andrew Brown walks you through the daily reading from the ESV Every Day Bible with a brief 4–5 minute podcast—perfect for your morning routine, lunchtime break, or evening wind-down. It’s a guided, grace-filled way to stay rooted in God’s Word.
To make this as easy as possible, we’ve been given permission to provide a free PDF of the reading plan right here on our website, so you can follow along using your own Bible.

Devotionals
Walk with Jesus Through Holy Week
This special Holy Week devotional, written by Dr. Andy Brown, invites you to journey day by day through the most powerful story ever told—the story of Jesus’ sacrificial love. Through thoughtful reflection and rich historical insight, you’ll see how the early church clung to the gospel and how their voices still encourage us today.
Each day’s reading is paired with a short podcast from Dr. Brown to help you reflect more deeply and draw closer to Christ. Simply flip through the virtual book and follow along with the daily audio—designed to fit into even the busiest schedule.
Let’s walk together through the cross and toward the empty tomb, allowing God’s grace to shape our hearts every step of the way.
The Emmaus Way: A Compass for Life with Christ
In Luke 24, two disciples walked the road to Emmaus, hearts heavy with confusion—until the risen Jesus met them, opened the Scriptures, and ignited their understanding. That same journey is the heart of The Emmaus Way—a method designed to help you encounter Jesus as He truly is, revealed through the Word of God.
Rooted in scriptural language and imagery, The Emmaus Way offers a compass of convictions to guide your life with Christ: Christ, Canon, Conscience, Community, and Commission. To help you walk this path, Dr. Andy Brown has developed four immersive, 8-week reading plans—one for each Gospel. Whether on your own or with a group, these studies invite you to slow down and devour the eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ life, listening to the voices of those who walked, talked, and learned directly from the Master.
Meet Jesus through Four Distinct Portraits of the Gospels:
- Matthew reveals Jesus as King—the long-awaited Messiah and rightful heir to David’s throne, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy and ushering in the Kingdom of Heaven. (click on pdf book and pdf journal)
- Mark presents Jesus as Servant—a fast-paced account showing His authority through action, humility, and obedience, even unto death. (click on pdf book and pdf journal)
- Luke portrays Jesus as the Son of Man—deeply compassionate and fully human, reaching out to the marginalized and offering salvation to all. (click on pdf book and pdf journal)
- John declares Jesus as the Son of God—divine, eternal, and full of glory, calling us to believe and have life in His name. (click on pdf book and pdf journal)
Together, these four Gospel witnesses give us a fuller, richer understanding of Jesus—our Savior, our Lord, and our Redeemer.
To deepen your understanding, you can also view powerful teaching sessions from The Emmaus Way Conference, featuring Dr. Brown and five keynote speakers as they explore each compass point:
- 👉 Christ – The central focus of our faith
- 👉 Canon – The authority of Scripture
- 👉 Conscience – Spirit-led inner transformation
- 👉 Community – Life in the Body of Christ
- 👉 Commission – Living sent with purpose
Step into The Emmaus Way and rediscover the joy of walking with Jesus.

Real Conversations on Following Jesus
For Us is a global discipleship initiative launched by First Baptist Starkville, born from Jesus’ Great Commission in Matthew 28. It’s more than a broadcast—it’s a bold calling to proclaim Christ Jesus, strengthen His Church, and advance the gospel to the ends of the earth. Using the tools God has placed in our hands—cameras, screens, streaming platforms—we are taking the life-changing message of the gospel from Starkville into homes, dorm rooms, prisons, and unreached places across the globe. Rooted in prayer and fueled by a deep love for the nations, For Us exists to meet people where they are—on their phones, in their questions, in their hunger for truth—with the unchanging hope of Jesus. We believe He is for them. And through this ministry, we will be too.
Each week through For Us, we’ll release a unique sermon from Dr. Andy Brown—different from our Sunday morning teaching series—created specifically to reach hearts both near and far. But we don’t stop at Sunday. Every message is paired with supplemental resources designed to help you grow deeper throughout the week. You’ll have access to daily devotionals, a podcast where Dr. Brown and a guest dive into key themes from the message, and exclusive insights shared on the For Us Facebook page to keep the conversation going. Whether you’re exploring faith, discipling others, or just needing encouragement in your walk with Jesus, For Us provides meaningful, consistent content to equip you along the way.
