I have wanted to read the Bible through for many years. However, I always get stuck somewhere in a history book in the OLd Testament learning the long lineage of a great saint or someone comes out with a new and wonderful topical Bible study. Once again I abandon my goal of reading the Bible through.

In the spring of 2008, while facilitating Beth Moore’s study of the fruit of the Spirit, God confirmed to me that it was time to invite others to study God’s Word with me from Genesis 1 through “the maps” as some like to say. And HeartChange is the result of that prompting.

HeartChange is a study of the entire Bible over a 3-year period. We plan to use a 3-year Bible reading plan that alternates through the Old and New Testaments. The study begins in January and we come together once each month to check our HeartChange progress by: 1) reviewing what we have read in God’s Word during the past month, 2) sharing how we have evaluated our attitudes, actions, and relationships against God’s Word, 3) sharing how we have chosen to adjust our attitudes, actions, and relationships to God’s Word, and 4) sharing how we have begun applying God’s Word to our attitudes, actions, and relationships.

Over time we create a record of God’s faithfulness to us and to those around us, and we create a record of our adjustments to His Word in our attitudes, actions, and relationships by chronicling His Word to us specifically. As Henry Blackaby teaches in Experiencing God, when the God of the universe speaks, it’s worth writing down.

Currently there are four classes of HeartChange.
