Hey Reader, I want to be honest with you about something — and I say this from personal experience more than I'd like to admit. Every year, people start a Bible plan with every intention of finishing. The excitement is real on day one. The consistency holds through the first week. And then somewhere around week two or three, life crowds in. The alarm gets snoozed. The journal sits on the nightstand unopened. The videos pile up unwatched. Not because the desire left — because the preparation wasn't there to carry the desire past the feeling. That is exactly why the rhythm matters. Read, watch, listen, write — four intentional steps that give the desire somewhere to go every single day, whether the motivation shows up or not. A rhythm doesn't ask you how you feel. It just asks you to show up. And the Summer in the Psalms Journal is what makes that rhythm possible. Here's what I want you to know about it — this isn't a journal where you stare at a blank page wondering what to write. Every day is already structured for you. The KJV text of that day's Psalm is printed right there on the page. The reflection prompts guide you into the Word rather than leaving you to figure it out alone. It's the kind of resource that meets you on the hard mornings — the ones where you open it out of discipline, not inspiration — and still gives you something real before you close it. That is what Glenda discovered when she finally decided to stop keeping her distance from the Psalms: "By breaking down the first 50 Psalms into manageable sections, Rachel makes the text feel accessible rather than overwhelming. Learning to identify the author, theme, and specific category of each Psalm has been a complete game-changer." — Glenda S. The journal ships in 10–14 days. If you haven't ordered yet, today is not just a good day — it may be your last comfortable window to guarantee it arrives before we begin June 1. Don't let June 1 catch you unprepared.

Reader, Mid-July. The summer is at its fullest — long evenings, slower pace, the kind of heat that makes you move differently through your day. And six weeks into this journey, I want to ask you something honest before we open this week's Psalms. Not rhetorical — real. How are you doing with the rhythm? Are you still showing up? Still writing? Still watching? Because this is the week the drift becomes a choice. Not a failure — a choice. Either the rhythm that has been building since June 1...
Reader, July has a different feel than June. The summer is no longer new. The rhythm you started building on June 1 has either taken root or quietly loosened, and most of us know which one is true without having to think too hard about it. Either way, this Monday morning is an invitation back to the Word. No guilt about what was missed. Just an open journal and one more Psalm. Before we jump into this week's readings, can I ask you something? How is Summer in the Psalms going for you? Some of...
Reader, The middle of a journey has its own particular weight. The beginning had momentum. The end has a finish line in sight. But the middle — week four, day twenty-two — is where you find out what you're actually made of. If you're here, reading this, still in it — that matters more than you know. Last week, we followed David from the wilderness of Judah into worship, watching remembrance become the bridge between longing and praise. The seed we planted: when you cannot feel God's nearness,...
