“Reflections” happen on Sundays and special occasions. They’re shorter than what we do Monday through Saturday when we spend ~20 minutes a day (reading through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 14 months).
Oh, and we do this together — with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people, and living out the love of Jesus better every single day.
Roger Courville, CSP is a globally-recognized expert in digitally-extended communication and connection, an award-winning speaker, award-winning author, and a passionately bad guitarist. And…
…all that blah blah blah means nothing if he doesn’t help you fall more in love with Jesus and the people in Jesus’ world.

#ForTheHope’s Daily Audio Bible is a daily audio Bible (imagine that!) where we read through the Bible in a year, Monday through Saturday. Sundays and special days have short “reflections.”
More accurately, we go through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 15 months with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people (except that Roger’s the one with the microphone), and living out the love of Jesus more every single day.
