The Big Idea:

90 days of line-by-line study can do more for your soul than 9 years of surface-level reading.

Not all Bible reading is equal.

Some reading informs.

But only deep, daily, Spirit-filled study transforms.

If you’re tired of grazing the surface and ready to go deep—this challenge is for you.

Let’s take our cue from the Bereans in Acts 17.

The Berean Blueprint: Acts 17:11

Luke gives us a snapshot of the Berean believers that’s easy to miss—but packed with insight:

“They received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.”

This isn’t casual reading. It’s careful examination.

The Greek word for “examining” is ἀνακρίνω (anakrinō)—a legal term used to describe cross-examining witnesses in court.

This wasn’t passive listening. It was active, eager, investigative study.

They didn’t just hear a sermon and nod along.

They went home, opened their Bibles, and put everything to the test.

That’s the heart of this challenge.

It’s not a performance.

It’s pursuit.

So here are five biblical reasons why you should take the 90-Day Challenge—and why it may reshape your walk with Christ.

1. Because Information Isn’t the Same as Transformation

“They received the word…” —Acts 17:11

The Bereans didn’t just analyze Scripture.

They received it.

The Greek word dechomai carries the idea of welcoming something like an honored guest.

This was hospitality of the heart.

They weren’t just fact-checking Paul.

They were throwing the door open to truth.

You can know doctrine—and still lack devotion.

You can quote verses—and still miss the Voice.

“Be doers of the word, and not hearers only…” —James 1:22

This challenge isn’t about getting smarter.

It’s about getting softer—toward God, His truth, and His transforming power.

2. Because Daily Input Shapes Daily Output

“…examining the Scriptures daily…” —Acts 17:11

Daily doesn’t mean perfect.

But it does mean priority.

The Bereans didn’t study when they felt like it. They built it into the rhythm of everyday life.

What you feed on daily becomes what you produce instinctively.

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” —Matthew 4:4

If you're constantly feeding your soul spiritual junk food—don’t be surprised when your spiritual muscles are weak.

You become what you consume.

3. Because Shallow Study Produces Shaky Faith

The Bereans didn’t just listen to teaching.

They examined it for themselves.

That’s what kept them strong. That’s what kept them stable.

If you’re always spoon-fed—depending on devotionals, podcasts, or other people’s study—you will always feel unsure.

But when you start to mine truth for yourself, line by line, you grow roots no storm can shake.

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed…” —2 Timothy 2:15

Surface faith won’t survive deep trials.

But believers who study the Word deeply are unshakeable—even when the winds rise.

4. Because God Honors the Honest Seeker

“…to see if these things were so.”

The Bereans weren’t cynical.

They weren’t skeptics.

They were humble investigators.

Their question was simple: “Is this true?”

And because they searched with humility, God met them in their seeking.

“You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.” —Jeremiah 29:13

God doesn’t play hide and seek with honest hearts.

He draws near to those who draw near to Him.

So open your Bible and ask questions.

Not as a critic—but as a disciple.

The humble heart is the one God honors.

5. Because 90 Days Can Become a Lifetime

Let’s be clear—this isn’t about keeping a spiritual streak.

This is about resetting your entire relationship with the Word of God.

It’s about moving from surface-level skimming to soul-deep saturation.

From rushing through passages to resting in them.

And the longer you go line by line, the more natural it becomes.

“His delight is in the law of the Lord… He is like a tree planted by streams of water…” —Psalm 1:2–3

Spiritual fruit doesn’t grow from spiritual hype.

It grows from deep roots in rich soil.

The 90-Day Challenge could be the beginning of a lifelong transformation.

So Here’s the Challenge:

For the next 90 days, commit to opening God’s Word line by line.

Not to conquer it—but to be changed by it.

Not just on Sundays—but every day.

Not with guilt—but with hunger.

📅 Can you do it?

You don’t need to be a scholar.

You don’t need hours a day.

You just need a heart that says: “God, I want to know You through Your Word.”

And I believe with all my heart—He’ll meet you there.
