At the core of it, discipleship is taking care of and tending all the things Jesus commanded us. Yet how can we know what to do if we don't know His words? That is why we're exploring all of Jesus' words across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each day includes a Bible narration from Ps Mark Varughese of the words of Jesus. NOTE: the translation used in the narration is the New King James Version.

Starting with God 5: How to Start is a 5‑day plan designed to help you encounter God through the Bible. Reading with confidence and faith. This plan encourages you to start not with self‑improvement, but with God—revealed fully in Jesus and faithfully through Scripture. You’ll explore what it means to be born again, why faith must lead to obedience, how to start reading the Gospels (beginning with Mark), and how to keep going with the whole story. No shortcuts—just a faithful beginning with Jesus.

God's radical grace is unbelievable, unexplainable, and definitely underserved. But it's the foundation of our faith. With these short readings, set yourself on a solid foundation for the day—a foundation of God's grace, goodness, and unconditional love.
