I’m fairly new on my walk with Jesus . I started with the Bible recap a year ago and hearing her say “ look for the God shot” when she explained to look for gods character and not yourself while reading, it changed my life. Changed the way I read the Bible and sparked such a hunger for god. So grateful for her. She’s a blessing

My husband is 78 and I am 77. We were both raised in the church, in fact, he was a pastor for 40 yrs. We did the Bible Recap last year and especially for him, it was life-changing!! Thank you for having Tara Leigh on, Allie. I love you both!!!

I have been a confessing Christian for years without ever venturing out of the gospels. A year ago, i watched Tara Leigh on a podcast with Candace Bure and heard her say, "Look for God and not yourself" that is when i realized having a relationship with someone means getting to know who they are. I started the bible recap and although i have not finished the bible all the way through, i have read more this last year than i have in my whole life and the lord has been transforming me! I couldn't recommend it more!

[selaine]

Wow! When the speaker said she finished the Bible and she didn’t like God- That resonated so deeply with me. I have had those thoughts before too but I felt so ashamed about it, I could never tell anyone. I’d pray and repent of the thoughts and I spent so much time afraid I wasn’t even saved. This episode has been a true encouragement to me. Thank you!

I have been a believer for 40 years, but The Bible Recap changed my walk with Jesus and now I do it every year (on round 5). I haven’t been the same, praise the Lord! I love being in His word daily! Thank you Tara-Leigh!!!

I’m on Day 120 of the Bible Recap. I love it. It’s my 3rd time reading the entire Bible in a year, but I’m learning so much more. Thank you TaraLeigh Cobble!❤

My husband and I are on our 3rd time through the Bible recap and it has been such a game changer for us. It even revealed to us some issues within our old church once we had a better understanding of what the Bible actually says. We’re now in a very healthy church, thankfully. We’ve also made it a weekly “date” to meet together and go through the weekly discussion questions and it’s been such a sweet time for us to connect with each other and with God intentionally.

I HIGHLY recommend her one-year guide to the Bible. I am currently reading the entire Bible for the first time and her guide has been SO helpful to me. I often feel so lost and having her book to teach me what I just read has been so informative. He’s where the joy is!

[JediGirly]

Excellent show! 🎉 I recently just started the Bible ReCap and it is so amazing how it has changed my life and how I view God. 🙏

[kinzscott]

The cross-over podcast I’ve been waiting for!!!! I started The Bible Recap (TBR) over 2 years ago and it’s changed my life. Making the habit of digging in the word really didn’t “stick” until about 8 months ago- and it’s been the hardest 8 months of my life. God knew I would need to be in His word EVERY SINGLE DAY to get me through this season. So thankful for TaraLeigh and so thankful for Allie Beth! ❤️

I used to attend a church that heavily preached the prosperity gospel. The entire Bible every Sunday was all about us (if they even talked about Gods word at all). I grew so resentful and angry because God wasn't answering my prayers exactly how I wanted them answered. I felt God leading me away but the "othering" and the shame that the church put on people who left felt unbearable because I wasn't able to trust in Gods goodness at the time. Simply because I was never taught that He is good unless our prayers are perfectly answered. It wasn't until I started listening to Relatable that my eyes were opened and we found a different church.

Thank you so much for this episode! I’m about 50 days into the Bible Recap so it was amazing seeing Tara Leigh as a guest! It is so encouraging watching your podcast and seeing people like you and Tara living out your lives in such an out loud Christian way! Your work is making a difference in lives and it is clear God is using you in a powerful way. So just thank you for being dedicated to the Lord and for being so truthful about what Christianity really should be.

I am enjoying The Bible Recap this year! I love hearing Tara Leigh's messages at the end because she really does help me understand what I am reading while also encouraging me to dig deeper. I'm so thankful God blessed her with the ability to share His Word with the world!

[Kjmeckling]

My husband and I are on our 1st full trip through the Bible using TBR with Tara Leigh (we will finish in Sept); we’re using this year to get the full story overview and then we’re looking forward to digging even deeper come Jan 2025!

[carolc]

Please pray for my 13 yr old daughter. I just found out she is self-harming. She is cutting herself.

[gladconst]

I’ve read the Bible three times. This past year is my first with Bible Recap. I’ve learned so much that I never knew I’d missed! I recommend this app/podcast to everyone! Even seasoned CHRISTIANS will walk away with a new love for our Creator.
