Reading the Bible in 2024
This post aims to give you some helpful tips for reading the Bible through in 2024 and making daily Bible reading a daily discipline.
Cast Your Cares on God
One reason the Holy Spirit indwells us is to sanctify us. This is both a one time event and an ongoing process. When we come to Christ through repentance and faith, we are sanctified (set apart as holy) by the Holy Spirit.
Balance
Balance is an essential need for all of us.
I especially appreciate my need for balance when I’m training in martial arts. We call it “staying in our frame.” Being in frame refers to having a strong foundation from which we can strike or defend when facing an opponent. When someone is in frame, they have good balance and cannot be thrown or knocked down by an opponent. It’s easy to stay in frame when you’re not moving. It’s much more challenging to do it when you’re mobile.
“Pastor Tim was the speaker for our summer camp and I couldn't have been more pleased! He did a phenomenal job explaining the text, giving excellent illustrations, and showing our students how the text applies to their lives. As great as a job he did in preaching, I was much appreciative of his approachability and availability. He was personable, encouraging, and wanted to be around our students and adult leaders.”
- Courtney Schmidt, Student Pastor, First Baptist Church Mt. Juliet
Youth Ministry Round Table
Youth Ministry Round Table is an arm of Engage Every Generation that seeks to encourage and equip youth ministers, parents, adult leaders, pastors, and students who want to minister the gospel to the members of the next generation.

“I can’t recommend Dr. Timothy McKnight enough as your next speaker. Tim shared at our 2023 Student Ministry Workers Retreat and helped our attendees focus on helping our students defend and share their faith. He connected and communicated Bible truth in everyday language. His servant’s heart was always evident as he shared from his wide range of ministry and life experiences.”
- Dan Carson, Student Ministry Matters
“Tim has been such a blessing at our summer camps. His ability to relate to our students is off the chart. His ability to communicate the gospel in a way that is not dumb down but exalted up is amazing. One of our students once said, ‘he's the real deal.”
- Jack Powers, Jr., Student Pastor, First Baptist Church Georgetown
144:1 Mens Ministry
144:1 is a ministry that encourages men to become the Kingdom Warriors God has called them to be. Through 144:1 Tim preaches to men around the country, encouraging them to take the fight to the enemy on behalf of themselves and their families.
Invite Tim to speak to your men about how they can become the men, husbands, and fathers God has called them to be.
“Tim McKnight spoke for us in 2023 at a Men By Design event in Pendleton, SC. We loved hearing about his story about serving in the US Army and he brought a challenging word to us men about getting more involved in the church's mission. We hope to have him again.”
- Jamie Murphy, President, Men By Design
Palmetto Leader Network
Get coaching from a church leader with over 30 years of ministry experience including military chaplaincy, law enforcement chaplaincy, youth ministry, senior pastorate, church consulting, church revitalization and church planting experience. Offer your leaders equipping in engaging every generation in the church with the gospel and the Word of God.
Invite Tim to speak to your leaders to help them engage every generation.
“It is my honor to recommend Dr. Tim McKnight to your church or group. His book helped us as a staff and then he graciously came and shared with our people. His relationship approach and evangelistic passion encouraged our people to ask questions and to learn during the weekend. I am thankful for his ministry, and his love for Jesus and His church. I gladly recommend Tim’s ministry to you and your church.”
- Dr. Heath Peloquin, Senior Pastor Summer Grove Baptist Church, Shreveport
