Dandelion Bible in a Year | Seekers & New Believers Reading Plan 

365 Days to Know Jesus, Understand the Gospel, and Build a Foundation of Faith 

Welcome to the Dandelion Bible in a Year | Seekers & New Believers Reading Plan.

This is a 365-day thematic Bible reading plan prepared especially for seekers, new believers, and brothers and sisters who want to return to the foundation of the Christian faith.

If you are beginning to learn about Jesus, thinking about faith, just starting to follow the Lord, or not very familiar with the Bible and unsure where to begin, this plan is designed to help you step by step enter God’s Word, come to know God, come to know Jesus Christ, understand the truth of the gospel, and learn how to follow the Lord in daily life.

Our prayer is that this plan will not merely help you read through a list of Bible passages, but help you build a clear, strong, and living foundation of faith over the course of a year. May God’s Word bring light, hope, faith, and renewal to your life.

Why Create a Reading Plan for Seekers and New Believers? 

Helping You Begin with the Most Important Truths

For many people who are just beginning to explore the Christian faith, the Bible is rich and beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming. You may wonder where to begin or how all the pieces fit together.

That is why this plan is not arranged simply by the order of the books of the Bible. Instead, the daily readings are organized around key themes of faith and spiritual growth.

We begin with knowing Jesus, then gradually move into the gospel, salvation, prayer, faith, new life, discipleship, church life, mission, witness, and eternal hope. These themes will help you understand the heart of the Christian faith more clearly.

Walking with You Step by Step as You Come to Know the Lord

Faith is not something we understand all at once. It is a journey of knowing God, drawing near to God, and learning to follow Him step by step.

This plan uses one chapter or one clear passage each day, together with thematic reflection and guided prayer, to help you develop a steady rhythm of entering God’s Word.

Whether you are a seeker, a new believer, or someone who wants to return to the foundations of faith, this plan can walk with you one day at a time.

Who Is This Plan For?

For Seekers

If you are exploring the Christian faith and want to know Jesus, understand the gospel, and learn what the Bible teaches, this plan will help you begin with the core passages and gradually enter God’s Word.

For New Believers

If you have recently begun to believe in the Lord and want to build a habit of Bible reading, prayer, and following Jesus, this plan will help you lay a clear and steady foundation of faith.

For Those Who Want to Rebuild Their Foundation

If you have believed in the Lord for many years but feel that the core truths of the faith are still not clear enough, or if you want to return to the foundation of the gospel, this plan is also for you.

For One-on-One Reading and Discipleship

This plan is also suitable for churches, small groups, reading partners, new believer follow-up, baptism preparation, and discipleship training.

You may read on your own, or you may invite a spiritual companion to read, discuss, and pray with you.

What Does Each Day Include?

Daily Bible Passage

Each day includes a selected Bible passage to help you enter God’s Word around that day’s theme.

The readings are mainly arranged by chapters or clear passages, making the plan easier to follow and suitable for personal devotions, small group sharing, and one-on-one reading.

Daily Theme

Each day has a clear theme to help you understand the focus of the reading.

The themes include knowing Jesus, the foundation of the gospel, new life, prayer, discipleship, church, mission, and hope.

Thematic Reflection

The daily reflection helps you consider:

What does this passage show me about God?
Who is Jesus?
What is the gospel?
How can I respond to God today?

Our hope is that these reflections will help you not only understand the passage, but also let God’s Word enter your heart.

Guided Prayer

Each day also includes a prayer written according to the Scripture passage and theme.

These prayers help you learn to respond to God through His Word, asking Him to help you know Him, trust Him, follow Him, and experience His guidance in daily life.

Application and Response

After reading the passage each day, we encourage you to reflect on one simple question:

What have I learned about God through His Word today? How can I respond to Jesus? Where do I need more faith, repentance, obedience, or action?

How to Begin

Step 1: Download or Save the Plan

You can first download the PDF or save the daily reading plan page so it is easy to check each day’s passage and theme.

You do not need to look through the whole plan at once. Simply begin with Day 1 and enter God’s Word one day at a time.

Step 2: Read One Bible Passage Each Day

Follow the plan and read the passage for the day.

You may read in the morning, during a lunch break, in the evening, or at any quiet time that works well for you.

If you are reading the Bible for the first time, do not feel pressured to read a lot quickly. What matters most is to read slowly, carefully, and with a heart that is willing to know God.

Step 3: Reflect on the Theme of the Day

After reading the passage, pause and think about the daily theme.

You may ask yourself:

What does this passage help me know about God?
What does it help me know about Jesus?
How does it help me understand the gospel and the Christian life?

Step 4: Respond to God in Prayer

After reading Scripture, respond to God in prayer.

You may pray with the guided prayer for the day, or you may use your own words to speak to God about your gratitude, questions, needs, faith, and desire to follow Him.

Step 5: Record Your Questions and Insights

It is very normal to have questions as a seeker or a new believer.

You can record what you do not understand, verses that touch your heart, and questions you would like to explore further. You can later bring these questions to a small group, church coworker, pastor, or spiritual companion.

Step 6: Read with Others

You may also invite a friend, small group, family member, church coworker, or reading partner to read with you.

Reading Scripture with others can help you continue more steadily and receive companionship in your questions, prayers, and spiritual growth.

Our Prayer

Helping Seekers Truly Know Jesus

Our prayer is that this plan will help seekers not merely learn religious information, but truly see who Jesus is and understand His love, mercy, truth, cross, and resurrection.

May you come to know this Savior through God’s Word and understand more clearly what the gospel means for your life.

Helping New Believers Build a Strong Foundation

Our prayer is that this plan will help new believers build a foundation of Bible reading, prayer, worship, church life, and daily discipleship.

The Christian life needs a foundation. May God’s Word help you become rooted in Christ, so that you not only know what you believe, but also learn how to live by the Lord’s grace.

Helping Longtime Believers Return to the Foundation

Sometimes even after many years of faith, we still need to return to the core truths of the gospel.

May this plan help brothers and sisters reflect again on the gospel, salvation, grace, faith, repentance, new life, and what it means to follow Jesus, so that we may be strengthened, renewed, and built up again in God’s Word.

Helping Churches and Small Groups Walk with Newcomers

We also pray that this plan will become a helpful resource for churches, small groups, and reading partners.

Whether it is used for gospel reading, new believer follow-up, baptism preparation, discipleship training, or one-on-one accompaniment, may this plan help more people come to know the Lord, draw near to Him, and follow Him step by step.
