Study plans

Bible study plans, one walk a month.

A guided morning, every day: one walk a month with a session each morning, and four practices to carry it through the day. This August it's the Psalms of Ascent — fifteen days of the songs pilgrims sang going up to Jerusalem. Day one is free.

First light over hills — the Psalms of Ascent walk
August · 15 days
The Psalms of Ascent
Day 1 is free
“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?”
Psalm 121:1
Four daily practices

One passage, four times through the day.

Each day of a walk sets one passage and returns to it four times. Take all four or take the morning and leave the rest — the walk still works.

Morning

Begin the day unhurried

5 min · free

The day's passage, read once slowly, with a line to carry into the morning. This one is free on every walk, subscription or not.

Midday

Read slowly, and stay with one word

15 min

The same passage again, at the pace of lectio — reading until one word stops you, and staying there rather than moving on.

Evening

Look back for where grace met you

10 min

A short examen: what the day held, where you were carried, and what you would ask for again tomorrow.

Night

Let a psalm be the last thing you hear

20 min

A psalm read aloud, or listened to, as the last thing before sleep. No screen after it.

The library

Twelve walks so far, one added every month.

A subscription opens every walk that has already run, not just the current one. Start this month's on the first morning, or go back and take one of the twelve at your own pace — nothing expires, and nothing keeps a streak.

What it costs
7 days free

Then $6.49/month billed yearly, or $12.99 monthly.

Day one of each walk and the morning practice are free without a subscription. The daily verse, the widget, the Bible reader and walking with a friend are free and stay free.

Good to know

What are study plans?

What does a subscription cost?

The app is free to download, and the daily verse, the home-screen widget, the Bible reader walking with a friend and Gather are all included. Study plans are a subscription: 7 days free, then $6.49/month billed yearly or $12.99 monthly. Day one of each walk and the morning practice are free.

Do I need a subscription to use VerseMates?

No. The daily verse, the home-screen widget, the Bible reader and walking with a friend are all free, and stay free. A subscription adds the study plans — and day one of each walk and the morning practice are free without one.
