Wandering Through Daniel for 10 Days
It all begins with an idea.
Hey y’all! Thanks for joining us as we Wander Through Daniel for 10 days. At the end of these 10 days, we will have completely read through another entire book of the Bible. If you would like to participate in Wandering Through Daniel for 10 days with us, we will be using #WanderingThroughGodsWord!
We started this initiative because we saw a need to help people get into God’s word in a simple way. So many rely on devotionals (most of which teach very little at best) or books on the Bible. Some of those can be helpful, but why not go to the untainted source? And no matter how much we like or trust an author, it’s important to remember is that commentary and notes included in study Bibles, book studies, and devotionals are not inspired and are written by fallible humans. (If you would like a study Bible we do recommend this one and this one).
As always, we would like to reiterate we are not scholars. Just regular people trying to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ by helping them learn. This reading plan is simple. No frills here. But we would like to include a few things to help you before you get started.
It’s important to realize we are NOT in the Bible. We should strive to read the text as it was intended. We are not David, Daniel, or anyone else in the Bible. So here are some things to understand and ask ourselves when beginning to read Scripture.
Things to understand about Scripture in general:
1) It’s our source for divine revelation from God, His truth, and guidance
2) The Bible instructs us in how to love, obey, and worship God
3) It’s infallible, without error, and complete. Knowing that allows us to have a source for checking everything someone claims about our faith.
How to go about reading Scripture:
1) read the passage IN CONTEXT, with PROPER interpretation and evaluation, and think on these things
Here’s some questions to help you with this:
1) Who is writing/speaking?
2) Who was the original audience?
3) What do the verses before/after say?
4) What do the chapters before/after say?
5) What does the rest of the Bible say about this?
6) What’s the historical, cultural, and/or geographical background?
ERRORS TO AVOID when reading Scripture:
1) Do NOT make the Bible say what you want it to say. It isn’t a book about us or to make us feel good. There will be texts that reveal things (sins) we need to correct in our lives. That’s not always easy or comfortable, but it’s necessary for us to be more Christ-like. We need to let the Bible say what God intended it to say.
2) Do NOT ask “what does this mean to me?” Again, the Bible isn’t about you. It’s God’s book. It’s about God.
That was a lot! But necessary. We had to learn all of this when we started reading our Bible. It’s just not taught today very often, but it’s critical to rightly understanding Scripture.
So without further ado, here is the reading plan for Wandering through Daniel for 10 days. (Videos/links y’all might find helpful will be added next to the text they are the most relevant to—at the moment this is simply a reading plan to help with accountability).

Wandering Through Biblical History: Wandering through the Books of Joshua, Judges, & Ruth for 30 Days
It all begins with an idea.
Hey y’all! Thanks for joining us as we Wander Through Biblical history in this series. In this one, we will be wandering through the books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth for 30 days. At the end of these 30 days, we will have completely read through another three books of the Bible. If you would like to participate in Wandering Through the Biblical history of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth for 30 days with us, we will be using #WanderingThroughGodsWord!

And no matter how much we like or trust an author, it’s important to remember that commentary and notes included in study Bibles, book studies, and devotionals are not inspired and are written by fallible humans. (If you would like a study Bible we do recommend this one and this one as they are the 2 best we have found).
As always, we would like to reiterate we are not scholars. Just regular people trying to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ by helping them learn. This reading plan is simple. No frills here. But we would like to include a few things to help you before you get started.

Wandering Through the Gospels for 45 Days
It all begins with an idea.
Hey y’all! Thanks for joining us as we Wander Through the Gospels for 45 days. At the end of these 45 days, we will have completely read through 4 books of the Bible. If you would like to participate in Wandering Through the Gospels for 45 days with us, we will be using #WanderingThroughGodsWord!
We will loosely be going chronologically through the Gospels. We say “loosely” because we are going by chapter. Most chronological read-throughs hop around a lot through the Gospels verse by verse. We have done this and it is very beneficial, but we have found it isn’t the easiest way to do a reading plan. We came up with doing it this way to get the chronological context but still make it easy and simple to follow.
We started this initiative because we saw a need to help people get into God’s word in a simple way. So many rely on devotionals (most of which teach very little at best) or books on the Bible. Some of those can be helpful, but why not go to the untainted source? And no matter how much we like or trust an author, it’s important to remember is that commentary and notes included in study Bibles, book studies, and devotionals are not inspired and are written by fallible humans. (If you would like a study Bible we do recommend this one and this one - affiliate links).

Some of those can be helpful, but why not go to the untainted source? And no matter how much we like or trust an author, it’s important to remember is that commentary and notes included in study Bibles, book studies, and devotionals are not inspired and are written by fallible humans. (If you would like a study Bible we do recommend this one and this one).
As always, we would like to reiterate we are not scholars. Just regular people trying to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ by helping them learn. This reading plan is simple. No frills here. But we would like to include a few things to help you before you get started.
It’s important to realize we are NOT in the Bible. We should strive to read the text as it was intended. We are not David, Daniel, or anyone else in the Bible. So here are some things to understand and ask ourselves when beginning to read Scripture.
Things to understand about Scripture in general:
1) It’s our source for divine revelation from God, His truth, and guidance
2) The Bible instructs us in how to love, obey, and worship God
3) It’s infallible, without error, and complete. Knowing that allows us to have a source for checking everything someone claims about our faith.
How to go about reading Scripture:
1) read the passage IN CONTEXT, with PROPER interpretation and evaluation, and think on these things
Here’s some questions to help you with this:
1) Who is writing/speaking?
2) Who was the original audience?
3) What do the verses before/after say?
4) What do the chapters before/after say?
5) What does the rest of the Bible say about this?
6) What’s the historical, cultural, and/or geographical background?
ERRORS TO AVOID when reading Scripture:
1) Do NOT make the Bible say what you want it to say. It isn’t a book about us or to make us feel good. There will be texts that reveal things (sins) we need to correct in our lives. That’s not always easy or comfortable, but it’s necessary for us to be more Christ-like. We need to let the Bible say what God intended it to say.
2) Do NOT ask “what does this mean to me?” Again, the Bible isn’t about you. It’s God’s book. It’s about God.
That was a lot! But necessary. We had to learn all of this when we started reading our Bible. It’s just not taught today very often, but it’s critical to rightly understanding Scripture.

Wandering Through God’s Word Initiative
Wandering through God’s Word, one book at a time.
#WanderingThroughGodsWord
If you are looking for our reading plans, check out the bottom of the article
Hey y’all! It’s been a while and we thought it was time to update everyone now that we are ready to make this announcement.
So over the past year (2020), we have been giving a lot of thought to the direction of The Wandering Pilgrims. We initially set out to create content/resources to help others explain and defend their faith, learn about Christian history, as well as other things while we wandered through God’s world to different places. But when COVID happened, that got put on hold. We also tried to encourage people to read their Bibles, but that wasn’t the main focus for us at the time. We were reading and learning ourselves, and as we did, we became more and more enthusiastic about reading God’s Word. It brought us joy and excitement as we discussed what we were reading and gleaning. As we started sharing our joy and excitedly telling others what we had read, we began to see just how big a problem Biblical illiteracy is among professing Christians.
Biblical illiteracy put simply means people haven’t read the Bible for themselves. One statistic we read a few years ago stated only around 10%-11% of professing Christians have read the entire Bible! How insane is that?!? Christians are professing to believe in something they have never read!!!
How do we learn to love, obey, and worship God?
Through His Word.
How do we learn what we believe?
Through His Word.
How do we learn to defend our faith?
Through His Word.
How do we learn to identify false teachings and heresies?
Through His Word.
If we love someone, we want to know them. So many claim to know and love Jesus, but have never read the book essential to knowing, loving, and obeying Him. We hope to help change that! We aren’t scholars by any means, just people who love the Lord and want to know and obey Him better, be able to share the gospel with others effectively and defend our faith, and help more Christians know what they believe—from the source.
When you consider all the Lord has done for you, is it really too much to ask that you spend time with Him through the reading of His Word?
No.
We spend countless hours on pointless things. Shouldn’t we be able to spare a minimum of 20-30 minutes a day for God’s Word and prayer? ABSOLUTELY! We should be spending every possible minute with God in prayer, in His Word, with the church, serving others, worshipping Him, and all things in service to our Lord! We hope to help others get started on this journey with simple plans for books or sections of the Bible. We will include resources to help answer common questions from sound sources. We want to keep it simple. No work books. No plan based on books by an author on a book of the Bible. Just focusing on God’s Word from the Bible itself. We aren’t trying to be teachers (again, we aren’t scholars). We are just trying to provide a resource to help people get in the Word. Side note: something important to remember is that study Bibles, book studies, and resources can be helpful, but the commentary and notes are not inspired and are written by fallible humans. (If you would like a study Bible we do recommend this one and this one).
We will publish the plans on our website. We will also post on our social media when they initially launch. We will be using #WanderingThroughGodsWord if you would like to join us there!
We want to challenge you, Christian, to change the statistics. Arm yourself with the Word of God so you can serve, worship, love, and obey Him better. Sit down with a notebook and the Bible. Pray. Ask for guidance, understanding, knowledge, discernment, and a deeper love for God and His Word. Open it up and wander through God’s Word with us!
Check out our reading plans here:
Wandering Through Genesis for 30 Days
It all begins with an idea.
Hey y’all! Thanks for joining us as we Wander Through Genesis for 30 days. At the end of these 30 days, we will have completely read through the entire 1st book of the Bible.

Genesis is vital to understanding our faith. We will include some video links that help explain why it is so important.
