66 Books of the Bible 66 Readings from the Bible 66 Miles of Meditating on the Bible At backcountry.church, we tend to love being in the outdoors. Trees teach us to set our roots deep. So let's do that with this Root 66 Challenge. Imagined from the famous Route 66, our journeying together will encourage us to grow in knowledge and in faith. The 3-Part Challenge: 66 Books of the Bible - Understand what makes up the Bible. - Watch the 1-minute videos summarizing each of the 66 books of the Bible. 66 Readings from the Bible - Read the Bible. - In our app , read and comment from a reading of the Bible, all taken from the 66 books! 66 Miles of Meditating on the Bible - Practice God's Instructions. - Walk or Run and record 66 Miles - while connecting with God! This Challenge will run throughout 2023. We will be posting current videos Sunday - Thursday, with our regular Message on Fridays. So you have 7 days to get in your 5 miles for the week! Ready... set... SIGN UP! Are you up for the challenge? We can't wait to get "rooted" in God's Word with you! So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2: 6-7 (NIV) We are off and running on the challenge - good news is, you have PLENTY of time to engage - the timing is your own! To summarize the challenge, we are doing this to allow our roots to go deep with God. His Word (the Bible) is for us…and it has 66 books. So we are spending time in each book. To get the most out of it, do all three aspects of the challenge. The 3-Part Challenge 1. 66 Books of the Bible - Understand what makes up the Bible. Watch the 1-minute videos summarizing each of the 66 books of the Bible, found in the Media section. 2. 66 Readings from the Bible - Read the Bible. In our app, there is a Bible tab. Read or listen to selected passages of the Bible, all taken from the 66 books! We'd love to hear your thoughts as well in the comment section. (The readings are listed in the PDFs for each video, the written documents found with each 1 minute video.) 3. 66 Miles of Meditating on the Bible - Practice God's Instructions. Walk or run, and record 66 miles, all while connecting with God! Here is what I recommend: 1. To watch the one-minute videos, I would suggest starting with the instructional video first: 00 - Root 66 Challenge Instructions. 2. Go into the App. The backcountry.church can be downloaded from Google Play or Apple App Store. You will want to set up your account on the app. Best place to do that is at our website. Once you are in the app, go to the Groups and join the Root 66 Challenge group. Once you are in, say hello! This is where the conversations occur. 3. Record your 66 miles, if you can! Or let us know that you did a mile or two or whatever. This provides encouragement to you and accountability. We want you to both start this challenge and finish well!! If you have any questions at all, please reach out via email at hello@backcountry.church!
