Welcome to the new site! Over the next several days and weeks we will be tweaking and building out. Please scroll to the bottom of this page and click "Site Help" then read section 8. This is important to a successful visit. Thanks for your grace and understanding as we roll this all out.

Happy New Year! If you're just now jumping on board, welcome to the adventure. If you're like me you've probably made a resolution to finally read through the whole Bible. It's probably not the first time you've done this. Perhaps you've made it through January and even February in the past but March is sort of the wall you run into and getting all the way to Summer is out of the question. Good news. You can make it. I know this because I've done it and I did it with tens of thousands of others around the world. I promise you that if you make it through January you'll start to notice a shift happening in your heart. You'll start to crave the Scriptures. A few months from now you'll really begin to feel like you're a part of something. You are. The Daily Audio Bible was created to be a community experience and you'll know that every day you are walking through the Scriptures with people all over the world. This website was created to give you a connection point to each other. One year from now you won't be able to look in the mirror and see the same person. God will have transformed you from the inside out. Very little will look the same.

If you're back on board for your second or third (or even fourth) year, welcome back. I feel a little funny even saying that because we're already family. I believe what I've been saying..... 2009 promises to be an epic year. I feel that God is inviting us to "release and complete" many things and I also sense Jesus asking us to stand up and live what it is we've been learning about every day. It's time to put it all into practice rather than just filling our hearts and minds with knowledge.

So these are our new digs. Look around the site. It's going to take a little time to build out every single module and erradicate every single bug but we'll get there. There is a whole new infrastructure beneath this site and it poises us to grow properly. Aside from the launch of DAB Spanish, DAB for Kids, DAB Hindi and the Daily Audio Proverb I feel that this is a year where we will do everything we can think of to stretch the boundaries of technology and break the barriers that seperate us geographically. We're identifying and implementing better ways for us to connect individually and as groups and I can't wait to see what that's going to look like.

So that's it for now. I love you all. Happy New Year.
