I have a very general, easy schedule of readings for the next 12 weeks. A few chapters each week—it won’t be a problem with all the new non-phone time you’ll have each day 🫠 Having done this twice before, I think the most helpful thing for you to prepare is to get a plan for areas where you expect to struggle: If it’s your phone/screen time: where can you put your phone at home & work so it’s out of sight, out of mind?
Several times in the last five years, I’ve participated in Exodus 90, a 90-day program of spiritual disciplines and practices. This year, Exodus 90 starts right on January 1, and goes through Holy Saturday (March 30). I’m especially excited to participate this year. Although the Exodus 90 organization offers an app and a subscription service (who doesn’t, these days?), I’ve never paid for the service. You can get the full benefit of the program by simply recruiting a group of friends and following these practices together, checking in regularly (at least weekly) to discussion how it’s going.
Original post here Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
