    excited to continue with the journal now!
    I’ve been so grateful for this podcast for a while when driving to work in the mornings. I’m excited to be working from home post-maternity leave and listening along with the guided journal I picked up at Target

    Making it easier to dive deeper
    I learn better through hearing something read to me, and definitely even more so when it is also a lively voice. Annie provides all that and more through her readings of the gospels and now Acts. I love how she challenges us to go deeper by reading reading different versions/translations of the gospels and reading them in different orders. It’s helped me to hear things I hadn’t before and grow closer to Jesus. Thank you to Annie and her awesome team!

  • Melikmc
    Love this!
    Listening to Annie read the Gospels has helped me so much in getting God’s word into my heart and mind and knowing Him more! I am an auditory learner and so I listen while reading my Bible and pause to highlight what the Lord is showing me. Such a helpful tool! Plus, who doesn’t love listening to Annie?! 😁

    Daily Routine
    This has been a great addition to my daily routine as I get ready for work. I learn something new almost everyday and I have been listening for a year. The Gospels are a treasure!

    I love this podcast!
    As a busy mom of young kids, my Bible reading time in the morning is so hit or miss. I am so thankful for this podcast because it’s allowed me to listen to scripture while I drive to work or do the dishes. I love the personal touches Annie offers. This is my new go to podcast on my morning commute!

    Great Gospel Readings
    This is a great gospel reading podcast that I personally loved to listen to while walking my dog in the evenings. I love having a little bit of the gospel in such a digestible way that I can listen to it every day.
  • KSJoySeeker
    Comforting
    I enjoy listening to Annie read the Bible to us! Having gone through 2023 reading the gospels each month, I find it really comforting. Thank you for this podcast!

    Just So Good
    I love this podcast. So simple, but so so good!
  • murseZ
    So good -simple and powerful!
    Love this simple and powerful way to bring encouragement and hope to my day! Highly recommend even if you don’t normally read the Bible, if you’ve been burned by church or hypocrisy of Christians, or just need some encouragement/new perspective. Contrary to what is often portrayed in culture/media, Jesus came to create clarity/ and demonstrate God is full of love and compassion for all humankind! So often people take short portions of scripture and view or present them through a lens that is out of context, taken literally when not intended that way, or based out of hurt/control (This can be done with just about any text). This unfortunately misrepresents WHO JESUS REALLY IS. Listen in to hear straight from the source! (Sidenote, the Bible has astounding historical accuracy! It also has very diverse writing styles. Many stories, parables, & some but NOT everything is literal. Examples of people messing things up, songs & poems etc. If something doesn’t make sense, lean in to understanding the context, and who it was written to, why, etc. The book of Job, for example, is written in a very story like format- could it be this was a story about God‘s character- many scholars believe so. Listening to bigger sections at a time like this can help us recognize the bigger story of God's love throughout the whole Bible that is common, ultimately displayed in Jesus’ sacrifice for us, & give space for the unknowns that are sometimes confusing!)

    Transformed My Devotion Time
    I had a habit of reading a few random verses each morning, praying and running into my day. After listening to this podcast, I’m reading a full chapter of the Bible, spending time to meditate on it, then praying. What a difference! I’m getting so much more through this Bible reading plan.
  • Bab Debner
    Thank you!
    Good News team- What a gift the gospels are to us. I am grateful for the guided journal as my companion on the journey. Starting with John was wise. Yes, this experience will change me. I have left room on each journal page to revisit the gospels in the coming months.
  • Levanat
    So great with the companion journal!
    I have loved listening to this alongside the Let’s Read the Gospels guided journal! It helps me go deeper for sure with the questions.
  • Arlena00
    Thought Provoking
    I’m really enjoying reading three chapters a day. Get the guided journal! The questions make you slow down and really think about the chapters in a way you would miss out on if you were just reading through. Thanks!
  • Emily E. Bennett
    Awesome daily practice
    I have loved the slowing down of reading one chapter a day this year, but I have really loved Annie’s insight and curiosity each day. This modeling of scripture reading has opened my eyes to become more curious about my own scripture readings. Thank you, Annie!!
  • WBsurf
    Worth the listen

    In the Word daily!
    I love “hearing” God’s word each and every day. My morning routine is enhanced by hearing Annie’s feelings behinds the Word of God. It makes such a difference! I highly recommend adding this podcast to your morning routine. ❤️
  • LoseItFan
    Start the day right
    I love the rhythm of starting my morning listening to Annie read the gospels. It’s a perfect way to start the day.
  • KnoxvilleBoyMom
    Just start it
    There is something about hearing the Gospels over and over from four unique perspectives. understanding the true story in this light, has been life changing. I know that might sound dramatic, but really. When you think about the reality that Jesus REALLY came, He REALLY died, He had followers who left their regular lives to follow Him. He REALLY loves you that much!

    Part of my morning routine
    I have been listening to this podcast for the past year and it has simply become part of my morning routine. It allows me to start my day with scripture as I am making breakfast and get my days focused on Truth first thing. Annie always pulls out great things to think about that I have never thought of. It’s beautiful.

    Sneaky Jesus
    Recently my 22 year old daughter have the privilege of car pooling every morning. I told her the only thing I ask is we do this together every morning. She’s been gracious to do so. This week there was a parable I didn’t understand so I asked her what she thought it meant. Guess what she knew. It was a big moment. Knowing that the Word has not departed from her and that the years of pouring into my kids has now helped me grow. Let’s read the gospels and then ask those around us to join in. Thanks for being in our car every morning at 630 am. What a blessing. From a very grateful and blessed mama

    Phenomenal!
    I can’t say enough good things about this podcast- Annie reads the gospels in a way that I can’t help but follow along in my Bible. She makes me want to dig deeper into the word. I’ve never been more excited to read my Bible and I’ve never been so hungry for Jesus! Thank you, Annie!!
  • SuzQcle

  • CalSocks
    Love!
    Such a great podcast. It’s such a simple way to put more scripture into your life. And the scripture finds me right when I need it most. I’m not totally on the plan with listening (which I should be!!) but I still love to listen to it!
  • Jbaker1202
    So good

  • Drake and Abby
    The best!
    Nothing better than the Bible! This is the best way to start my day. I love Annie F. Down’s reading style, as well!
  • KateandSamsMom
    Thank you Annie F Downs!
    This is such an easy, breath of fresh air way to read the first four books of the New Testament. I have been reading through the Bible with The Bible Recap podcast the past five years (still going), but I always feel rushed through the New Testament. This rhythm has been perfect…one chapter a day and having the time to ponder on what I read, then hearing Annie read it and share her wisdom. It has been a blessing in my life. I love Annie and this podcast is like having a friend read to you then share her heart. Love it!

    Best way to start my day
    So simple. Yet so life changing!
  • Maryexit89
    Simple and effective
    Just to hear part of the life of Jesus every morning has blessed me and reminded me to think of him who gives life.

    Let’s Read the Gospels with Annie F. Downs
    Enjoying this podcast. Listening to and/or reading one chapter of the gospels a day is easier to process and reflect on than multiple chapters at a time. Listening to this podcast is helping me build consistency with reading and studying the Bible on my own. It has sparked my curiosity to thoughtfully seek to understand the passages.
  • Ohleeander
    A whole year
    I’ve been listening every day for more than a year now. It’s a wonderful way to start my day.
