Second summary
Though I am using a different app this time for a read through the Bible, I come to TBR to hear a second summary. Appreciate how it is stated and puts reading in context with the whole of scripture.

LOVE!

Really opens up understanding
Thanks TLC for opening up the Word and guiding through what has always been a scary disjointed daunting task. For the first time in my life, I read the whole Bible!!! Now I’m on the second time and learning even more than before! Thank you for answering your call.

Don’t wait until next year!
Start from the beginning at any point in the year. I started late and I am so thankful I didn’t just tell myself to make it a goal for next year. The recap is vital to understanding what you are reading and to help connect you to what the intention of what God’s word is saying. I can not say enough good things about this.

Well done.
Fun way to read scripture. Tara Leigh Cobble is all personality and very knowledgable. I love that she doesn’t take sides in controversial Bible interpretations. She shows all sides and provides resources. There’s a lot of wisdom in that.
Highly recommend.

Growing every day
Insightful. God centered. Funny. This is a great podcast for those who want to know and love God more. I’ve been reading the Bible for the last 15 years. Tara Leigh brings out pieces I’ve not known or considered and has added to my depth and understanding of scripture.

This podcast has brought me back to Jesus after 15 years removed since catholic school. Through the Holy Spirit present in all involved, the scripture has made me a better father and husband.

The GOAT bible reading

Hand Gestures
I like this study and the video summaries. Tara-Leigh is extremely knowledgeable. The hand gestures drive me crazy. I’ve tried holding something in front but it doesn’t work very well. Sometimes I look away and try to concentrate on what she is saying, would rather see her face. It would be much better without all her hand movements. Surely it doesn’t have to be that many and a way to watch Tara-Leigh without the distraction of the constant movement of her hands. That’s why 3 stars.

This is my second time going through the Bible with Tara Leigh Cobble. She does an amazing job breaking down information and explaining things that I never would have learned on my own. If you are wanting to dive deeper into the Word, I highly recommend this podcast!

What My Daily Study Needed
I didn’t know that when I bought the book that there was a podcast to go along. I read and answer the book questions in the more then my lunch is listening to the podcast to help my day with my students stay positive. Thank you for the work you are doing to open my eyes to things I had never noticed before.

Amazing resource
This resource is helping me to finally read the Bible in a year! The recaps are so helpful for context and taking away important points. So encouraged by my reading progress and excited for what’s to come. Thankful for this being available in podcast, YouTube and book form. I’m using all 3 forms depending on the day and it really helps me to complete each day’s reading! Thank you TLC!

Constantly learning something new!
I’ve been a believer since I was six years old. I’ve read through the bible multiple times, but it wasn’t until The Bible Recap that I gained a deeper understanding of God’s word. Tara Leigh is articulate and wise. She is careful with her words because she understands their weight. When necessary, she makes corrections and gives clarification. I appreciate her sincerity and humility. This is by far my favorite podcast.

Amazing podcast
This podcast has helped me stay consistent in God’s word. Anytime I don’t understand what the passage is about or what I should be gleaning from it, Tara Leigh does an excellent job summarizing it and pointing out how it fits in with the whole story of the bible. Encouraging for anyone anywhere on their faith journey!
Listen today - don’t delay
Essential listening

The Bible Recap podcast leads me to love the Word of God
The Bible Recap podcast leads me to love the Word of God more and more each day. It helps me grow closer to Him and understand Scripture in a simple and clear way. Even TBR Kids is helping our children love God’s Word. Thank you for this blessing to our family.♥️

To much promotional content
With each episode being only 8 minutes I felt like 2 minutes is wasted with so much promotion. I’d much rather spend my time listening to discussion instead of the same promos every SINGLE episode.

Kick off your day with TBR
I’m on my 3rd trip through the Bible with TBR and I love it so much. It’s how I start my day every day. The host is so, so great at helping some of the very rich text of the Bible come to life and be understood in a way that allows me to understand God’s plan and purpose. I’m so grateful for this amazing tool and for the team that produces it. Truly God’s hands and feet at work.

Love This!
I have ADHD and focusing ESPECIALLY while reading has always been hard for me. These episodes and this plan has been sooo helpful! I’ve been able to actually remember the things I’ve been reading and look forward to listening to the episodes! Thank you so so much!

Amazing.
Best and most simple and down the earth easy way to understand the Bible especially the Old Testament.
hsjj!
He IS the joy
Every morning I get to read and listen to my Bible and TBR. I never thought I would enJOY and (so far excitedly) keep up. Never have a I been a “reader” but this habit of reading the Bible everyday gives me a yearning to read it more. I see how the daily bread truly is the life giving bread. I love seeing God more & more in the Bible books, I love the you tube in my Bible app & now I have the podcast. Thank you for making TBR interesting and the encouragement to keep going is great!

The Bible Recap
This Podcast has allowed me to read God’s word,but most importantly to understand God’s word. Because of my schedule, you will find me listening to this podcast every night at 9:00. I love this so much and enjoy learning about our God. ❤️

I love this!!!!
This podcast is wonderful!! If you ever have tried to read the Bible and had a hard time, this walks you through step by step. I’ve learned that I need gods word everyday. I need his daily bread, the Bible, to sustain me. I learn something everyday and it’s worth every minute it takes to listen! Thank you Tara Lee for teaching me daily!!
sammlb24
Thank you!
Love this podcast and bible plan It’s helping me to stay motivated to read God’s Word. I’ve lost track but I think it’s my third or fourth time reading the whole Bible with this plan. This year the Study Guide is helping me to dig deeper.

My self
In the Leviticus, I also too see myself when I start thinking of my flaws, my sins, and realizing that God has forgiven me for all that that’s why you sent our Lord Jesus Christ to die for us when I stop thinking of my inner feelings I feel so much better I love the podcast. Thank you, TLC.

Incredibly Thankful
I am incredibly thankful for this podcast. This is either the 4th or 5th year reading through the Bible using TBR. The podcast has helped me to see and understand better what l read each day in the Bible. I believe my relationship with God has grown closer. This year I decided to, with God’s help, to become a Recaptain. Nervous, yes. But God is with me. Thank you for the tools and the prayers to do this.

When I tell you that this place has literally changed my life, taught me all along the way and made my fall more in love with God and his word…I’m not just saying that!

Bite the billet and read the Bible
If you’re even thinking about diving into the Bible but feel overwhelmed, intimidated, or spiritually side-eyed by Leviticus… do yourself a favor and grab The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble**. Five stars isn’t enough. This book deserves a whole constellation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tara has this gift for taking big, complex, sometimes head-scratching passages and gently untangling them without watering them down. She doesn’t fluff it up, she doesn’t overcomplicate it, and she definitely doesn’t make you feel dumb for not knowing what a cubit is. Instead, she keeps pointing your heart back to the main point: God’s character. Every. Single. Day.
What I love most is that it’s structured, approachable, and actually doable. The daily recaps feel like sitting down with a wise, steady friend who says, “Here’s what we just read. Here’s why it matters. And here’s where we see God.” It turns Bible reading from a checkbox into a relationship.
It’s deep without being dense. Theologically rich without being intimidating. Encouraging without being cheesy. By the end of each recap, you don’t just know more… you love God more.
If you’ve ever said, “I want to read the whole Bible but…” this book removes the “but.” Highly, highly recommend. 💛

Love the gold nuggets
Learning about God with a community, is the best! It truly feels like that when I’m listening to the recaps. Thank you for what you and your team add to my time in the Word of God these days. “Because He’s where the joy is!” 💯
Ureña1380
Thank God!
If it weren’t for this podcast, I would truly be lost just reading the Bible with no commentary to review what I just read. Tara helps me not only understand God’s Word but also helps me see where God is working throughout each chapter. This podcast is a blessing!

I’m in
I tried another “read the bible in a year” and after 2 years and only in Judges I gave up. I found the bible recap on my podcasts, started to listen to it periodically, I found it interesting. My husband bought the book for a present for me and didn’t even know I was listening to the podcast! I started the chronological year this January and I’m all in the podcast keeps me motivated and I look forward to reading the bible every day!

4th trip this year!
This is my 4th year with The Bible Recap. Each year God has given me new wisdom and more insight into who He is. As I have had changes in life the past 4 years, He has revealed Himself to me through His Word in different ways.

7 minutes well spent!
I’m amazed at how much Tara Leigh can say in just 7 or 8 minutes every day!! Sometimes the Bible seems like such a HUGE story, I don’t know where to begin! But I love seeing how concise and on point she is, both at the same time! I hope to glean from that and trim my wordiness, ……learning to bring forward the main point about who God is and what am I seeing Him doing!
