This is Emma.
Emma’s from Phoenix, Arizona, but she heard about BEMA while she was in Scotland with some friends at camp. Looking back over the last couple years, she believes that what God has done through BEMA was one of the most transformative experiences of an action-packed summer. She started digging in intently before the pandemic and wanted to be deeply committed to diving into the Text for herself before listening to each episode.
To those ends, Emma made her own “reading schedules” where she read first and listened later. In Session 3, she swapped her approach since she was more familiar with those passages. She knows that these plans are not perfect, but she saw God routinely show up in this approach. She’s deeply grateful to God for the work of BEMA.

We are often asked about reading plans for our study. We’d love to share what Emma has designed here. They aren’t necessarily the “official BEMA reading plan,” but we share it for multiple reasons:
1) You might find this reading plan to be exactly what you were looking for.
2) This idea may spark creativity in designing your own.
3) We love to share stories of how God uses our listeners; if BEMA is helpful, “how much more” will God’s work in you be?
