An invitation
Walk with Jesus.
& me.
An 8‑week journey through the Gospel of John and the foundations of the faith.
“And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.”
— John 1:16
Takes about 30 minutes a week. No experience needed.
01 How this works
A simple weekly rhythm.
For 8 weeks, you'll walk through the Gospel of John while learning one foundation of the Christian faith each week. Same rhythm every week — plus an optional Go Deeper teaching when you want to dig in more.
The daily practice
The SOAP method.
Five days a week. Ten minutes is enough.
- S Scripture Write out the verse that stood out.
- O Observation What does it say? What's happening?
- A Application What does it mean for me, today?
- P Prayer Pray it back to God.
Pick a passage from the week's reading. Bring it to your meeting.

After Week 8
Then — invite two.
When you finish, you'll have walked with Jesus for 8 weeks. You'll have opened the Bible. You'll have learned the foundations. You'll have met the One you were made for.
That's when you do the next thing Jesus asked of His disciples.
Not a group of twelve. Not a Bible study. Just two. Two people who need what you've been given. Two people who would say yes if you asked.
Why two?
- →Jesus sent His disciples out two by two (Luke 10:1).
- →Two is enough to start a movement and small enough to actually do.
- →When your two finish, they each pick two more. That's how disciple-making actually multiplies.
“And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”
— 2 Timothy 2:2
How to do it
- Write down two names. Before you finish.
- Pray for them through your last week.
- Text or call each one. Tell them what these 8 weeks did in you. Ask if they'd be willing to do it with you.
- Set a start date. Set a weekly meeting time. Send them this page.
- Then do for them what was just done for you.
→ Keep going yourself
Don't stop.
- →Read another Gospel — try Mark or Luke next.
- →Get planted in a church if you're not already.
- →Get baptized if you haven't been.
- →Keep the SOAP rhythm going.
“As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”
