The Bible begins in the beginning, and so should we.
Welcome to Seeking Scripture! Where our goal is to help folks form a firsthand relationship with the Father and His Word! We read through the Bible each year, from start to finish, together. In our Facebook group, we have daily discussions and encourage one another as we build each other up and strengthen our knowledge of His word.
Because we begin together, our fellowship group is only open to new members near the beginning of each reading cycle. In 2022, new members will be admitted from December 1-31. Our next reading cycle begins January 3, 2023. Click here to request membership in our Facebook group (make sure you answer the questions to be admitted). If you would like to begin now, you can do so by visiting SeekingScripture.com and beginning in Genesis.
Here are some of the things Fellowship members have said about reading with our group:
This has been such an eye opening experience to read His Word and share the journey with fellow students across the country. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know. ~Kathy Manis
Some may be overwhelmed and think they cannot get through the whole Bible alone. This is the perfect study for someone like that. We have many who have never read much of the Old Testament but Christy is a very capable leader and others in the group are not only knowledgeable but are very encouraging.
~Judy Miller
Being in this study has been such a blessing. I not only have grown closer to The Father but I have so much more knowledge of the Bible. He has placed in my heart a desire to study, dig deeper, and know Him more. I will forever be thankful to Christy Jordan for answering His call to form this group. God is using her in a mighty way. Some may feel it’s too much of a challenge but it’s not! It is broken down so that it’s very “doable”. ~ Dana Tate
I’ve been a Christian since I was 11 years old and a lifelong church goer thanks to my mom, but Christy’s notes have encouraged me to dive in deeper to God’s WORD. I love being part of this fellowship of believers where we can grow and strengthen our faith muscles together. This is a supportive and welcoming group, and I’m grateful for it! ~Kristy Ensor
There is no better way to start my morning than sitting down with my coffee and reading His word with this group. Love reading everyone’s comments, almost everyday some one points out something I may have missed. This could possibly be the ONLY FB group that is 100% positive!!! ~Jan Green
I will say, if you want to be closer to God, the way to get closer is to read his word. This group has helped me and others read the Bible in it’s entirety, like it should be read. We also discuss what we have read and help each other understand things that we might not have known beforehand. Want to grow closer to God? We have to read his love letter to us, The Bible. Come join us and be blessed by the reading of his word~Jill Fortner
I’ve had some friends and co-workers tell me that don’t read the Bible because they don’t understand. I used to be one of those people and just took for fact what others told me was in the Bible. How wrong I was and how much I’ve learned and discovered from Christy and my other fellow front porch family in the almost two years in this group. I look forward to many more discoveries as I continue getting closer to our heavenly father and encourage others to join us here. ~Joan Osborne
Christy’s “Rabbit Trails” have reignited my enthusiasm for Bible study! She examines details I have never studied in any other group. Members add their own interesting insights. The Word continues coming to life from fresh perspectives! “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword….” Hebrews 4:12 ~Jamie Wyatt
I’ve read the Bible more since joining this group than I ever have. I’ve occasionally gotten behind, but as Christy has said, just jump back in! My appreciation for reading the Word of God for myself has grown thru this group. I look forward to reading the Bible and understand the importance of doing so more than ever. ~Jane Densmore
I thank God so much for bring me to this study. I look forward every morning waking up to study his word and fellowship with my sisters and brothers. I was a person who had a hard time understanding the OT, this group walk you through each verse , helping you understand what you are reading. What a joy for me to know and grow closer to our Father. There is no judgment only love and support. God is moving mightily through this group, join us and feel his presence!! ~Shannon Massey
I thank God for this study and for Christy’s dedication to it and to the members. This is an educational journey where we learn The Who, The What, The Why, The When and The Where. It’s a journey where we help each other through the deep water and we rejoice together on the mountain tops. Such love found here is the result of drawing nearer to our Father through the study of His Word. I’ll be
telling all my friends about this Fellowship! Love to all my FP Siblings!~June White

I signed up for the original group and have been in the study ever since. I look forward to it every day and it is the first thing that pops up in my Facebook feed. I’ve learned so much, been enlightened, grown closer to the Lord, and enjoyed being in a group of people seeking the Lord’s will in their life. Christy’s notes are wonderful and I enjoy reading the comments of others. It’s just been a wonderful experience!
I am so blessed by and thankful for this group. Being able to study God’s Word with other believers has been such a blessing for me. I am so appreciative of Christy’s notes and love reading through the comments that people share. This group truly is family.
Looking forward to reading the Bible again with this wonderful group. Great discussions and fellowship.
This group quickly becomes family — we are all God’s children and yearn to learn more about him by reading His Word daily. It’s a blessing to start off the day with our Lord.
This will happily be my third journey with The Front Porch with Christy as our leader….every time through, there is so much more to learn. I love my time spent in the Word and the support of fellow believers❤️??❤️
I have learned more in the past year in this group than I have in the past 22 years after giving my life over to the Father.
Such a blessing this past year. I’ve learned so much. The foundation is built beginning in Genesis and continues to build. It has deepened my relationship with God. Love seeing all the people’s comments and learn from them. Christy’s daily notes and rabbit trails open up the scriptures. This is like no other Bible Study I’ve ever taken. ???
A little over a year ago, I prayed for God to show me how to stay committed to reading His word, and He answered with an invitation to join this group. I have grown more than I could have imagined! Christy really loves the members of the group and it’s evident that she loves Jesus and she wants to share Him with others! I have always thought I had a good relationship with God, but I find myself talking to Him throughout the day and I can’t wait to get into His word every morning! I am excited to start the new cycle!
I have enjoyed this Bible study so much and it has helped me stay focused on reading on through. Love the notes. I will be beginning my third round and I am looking forward to it.
I never would have thought I would read the entire Bible word for word…..and wanting more! The member participation lends to so much insight! Christy’s rabbit trails make you just want to jump right in and follow that trail! This has been one of the best studies I have ever been a part of! I have a hungering for God’s Word like I have never had before. I cannot wait to start again!
I have studied the Bible for years and learned so much in that time. I’ve read the entire Bible before. I can honestly say that I’ve learned more and feel more alive in my faith after reading and studying the Bible this past year with notes from Christy and comments from many of the Front Porch Family.
The scriptures have always been there, but the parts that have been ignored, unexplained, or taken out of context for 50 plus years have been tackled, explained, and placed in proper context this past year. This has changed my life! I realize, more than ever, that you can’t read a story here and another there, memorize a verse or even a short passage, and come to KNOW what the Father is saying to us and guiding us to do. I’ve been doing it wrong for over 50 years – no wonder I wasn’t maturing as I needed to. I thought I was. I thought I knew and understood the Bible. I was just beginning to understand. I don’t plan to ever go back to the old way of reading and studying His Word.
I started out having to find time to do the readings – now the reading and studying are my priority. Everything else is secondary. I MAKE SURE that I get in the Word every day; I WANT to get in the Word every day; I FIND JOY & PEACE in the Father’s Word every day. I cannot wait for the new cycle to start.
This is a wonderful Bible study, & Christy Jordan is an awesome leader & is so passionate about sharing YHWH. The whole group is very enthusiastic. It’s fun to learn & grow as we read thru the entire Bible, as a way of Life. Join us, you’ll be happy you did!
I’ve read much of the Bible, but not in the way any book is meant to be read, starting at the beginning. Through the guidance of Christy and the Holy Spirit, these wonderful words of life have come truly alive for me! The added bonus of being able to daily encourage others in the group and read their “rabbit trails” and share my own is such a gift. We lovingly help each other grow in our wholehearted quest to know the Father and our Messiah better. We truly become family! The daily readings and study, Christy’s notes, and sharing with the members has become the best part of my day. I encourage everyone to join and change their life along with us!!
I have had an awesome year with this bunch of Bible readers, and I’m already looking forward to beginning again! Christy is such a great leader and teacher, and this group has become like family to me over the past year. Everyone is so positive and supportive. I wake up every day excited about reading my Bible!
I started following Southern Plate years ago for the recipes. When Front Porch Fellowship came along I joined and found like-minded believers seriously seeking YHVH as He is revealed in the Bible. My time of Bible study is my favorite part of the day. I get up early, (between 5:00 and 6:00), fix my coffee and settle down with the Word. Christy offers comments & rabbit trails to stimulate the brain and the scriptures nourish the soul. This works great for me. Thanks Christy for making it so easy & enjoyable to learn & share.
This is such a great group! Christie’s commentary is spot-on, and the support from the group is very encouraging!
Our family has been going through a difficult season and, while I haven’t been able to login every day, being part of this group has made me more accountable for trying to stay caught up with my Bible reading and provided a real sense of community. I have really enjoyed reading Christy’s commentaries; they have been kind of a down home way of navigating some challenging passages.
I truly love this group! I have learned so much and it has helped me grow in my faith and understanding of God’s word. I don’t know where I would be if I had not been in His word this past year, nor do I want to know where I would be. I’m really looking forward to the next go round and to find out the new things He wants me to learn.
In spite of believing in YHWH my whole life, I never read the Bible cover to cover. I’ve always relied on women’s Bible studies and Sunday sermons to teach me GOD’s Word and for the Pastor to determine what I needed to hear that week. When I go to church, I always feel like the sermons are directed at me, in a good way, but now…now I feel like that every day! I have learned so much through this process and look forward to gleaning even more this next go round. I found out about this study by following Christy on her Southern Plate platform, but I will forever be grateful that she allowed me to be a part of her Front Porch family.
Please give this group a try!! I started October 2, 2019 and have enjoyed my year of growth with the reading of His Word. I have gained more than I ever expected through the readings, and all of Christy’s gentle persuasion to keep on going!
So looking forward to this next adventure with my siblings!
Thank you, Christy for Southern Plate, which I joined years ago, and for introducing me to Seeking Scripture!
Sending Hugs and Blessings to all!!
I have enjoyed reading the Bible and having someone to point out the parts that are sometimes difficult to understand. I look forward to starting my second year of Bible study with Christy and this group.
I am finishing my first year with this group. So thankful for Christy and all my new siblings, Christy’s notes and rabbit trails are spot on. If you are seeking for a closer relationship with YHWH, come join Seeking Scripture on the Front Porch.
Wow, Christy, you have inspired me to read the Bible again. Thank you for the past year. I’m ready to begin on the journey with you again. What a blessing this has been for me. My husband reads your notes as he reads the Bible and he loves what you write. Thank you and God Bless you and your passion to follow His word.
Christy and this wonderful group have been a true blessing to me in the study of YHWH’s Word. The daily notes from Christy, her leadership, and the comments and encouragement of other members have been a boon to my developing a closer relationship to YHWH and a deeper understanding of his Word.. I will always be thankful that Christy accepted me to be a member of her Front Porch Family.
The Front Porch Family and Deep Diving bible study has truly been a blessing. I have attempted many times to read the entire bible but would always get bogged down at some point and give up. This time I am thrilled to say I am going to make it all the way and I have learned so much more this time. Christy’s notes and comments from “the family” have brought a much better understanding. Thanks to this study I have been able to answer my Father’s call to draw closer to Him.
I am so blessed to be apart of this group! I never thought I would be able to do this. Did I miss a few chapters and fall behind, yes, but I printed the notes everyday and caught up the best I could. Most importantly, I did not give up!!! Christy’s notes and the comments from the members of this group are so inspiring, and have made reading the bible easier to understand. I am looking forward to continuing my second year on this journey with Christy and the Front Porch family. I hope you consider joining this wonderful group…you will be so glad you did!
Finishing my 3rd cycle reading through the Bible-wow❣️ As a believer for the majority of my 60+ years it wasn’t until a few years ago that I saw the need and importance of reading my Bible cover to cover for myself. I’ve learned to dig deeper, discovered that not everything I had learned in church was taught exactly as written in Scripture, found hidden Truths that rocked my world and gained a family of like minded seekers who love the Father and Son. I would encourage every individual to take this journey. It’s doable, worthwhile and life enhancing! You won’t be alone-so many new friends are waiting to read and walk with you!!!
I want to encourage you to join this group and read the Bible through for yourself. This is one of the greatest books ever written. There is adventure, intrigue, love stories, wars, happiness, sadness, births, rebirths, sufferings, deaths, resurrection, Kings, Queens, Judges, prophets, amazing animals, beautiful creations and visions of the future! Yet, it is the Book of Life! This is my 3rd time reading all the way through, and the 2nd time with this group! I can’t tell you how much I have learned and re-learned properly. This is a book you need to read for yourself, so many of the things you have have been told are not as they seem. These stories and events are something you must experience for yourself. You will be blessed beyond measure! You will also be amazed that you will become friends and family with like minded folks. They will love, encourage, welcome you and share their insights and findings! This book will bring you so much closer to the Father!. Heaven awaits, don’t miss it for the world! Looking forward to meeting you in the next reading!

After reading bits and pieces in the past, I have finally sat down and read the entire Bible from start to finish I never thought I would be able to accomplish this. Christy and the Front Porch Fellowship are so encouraging and have become like family to me. And now I am ready to start from the beginning once again for the 3rd time! Blessings to all.
Thank you, Christy, for all you do to draw us closer to the Father through the study of His Word! This year studying the Word with the Front Porch Family has been such a blessing! I love the accountability and look forward to spending time in His Word every morning knowing that others are doing the same! I am blessed to be a part of this family! <3
I’ve read the Bible through several times but this was indeed different. It kept me on the right track. I knew each day what to read. I made a commitment to do this. I was encouraged to read the rabbit trails which did make things clear. I found it hard to miss a morning reading. I knew I could go back later in the day but this became a necessity for the mornings. I learned about Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. I learned to do a few things I never even thought about as making unleavened bread. I love the Old Testament if we should call it that but according to Christy it’s just the Bible, all 66 books. I would encourage anyone, no matter how many times you’ve read the Bible to join this group. I will anxiously await January 1, 2021.
What a blessing to begin every day in THE WORD and to know that my brothers and sisters are all reading the same words that I am. Reading from Genesis to Revelation helps build memory for the verses and I found myself being able to recall Scripture relating to events in my daily life. The words on the page come alive as I read them. I find myself understanding more each year as we go thru the same stories. I also find things that I never noticed before and eagerly ask for my brothers and sisters for insight and clarification on things I may not understand. All the answers to our questions are in the scripture…..even if it is only to tell us that we are not to know everything. One day, standing at Fathers’ Feet He will tell us everything.
I want to invite you to our family!
Front Porch Fellowship
We read the Bible together beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelations. I have learned that having a FIRST HAND relationship with YHWH and knowledge of HIS WORD keeps me happy and my arrow going in the right direction! Everyone is helpful and many times I have asked a question or needed a clearer understanding and every single time I reached out there was a kind person to direct me to the area in the WORD to answer my question. Sometimes, someone else’s question helped me along my journey. Christy and her team of admins are precious and I just know if you join us you will blessed in so many ways! I know I am ?
I can’t wait to join in January 1sr to read the entire Bible!!
Excited to study with you again.
My brother in law doesn’t have FB but wants to join by email. Is that possible??
Hey Mary!
In order to control costs, I no longer have an email option. However, there are two options available to him.
1. Join facebook just to be a part of the group. This is the strategy that will offer the most success as he would have the benefit of group discussion where he can become part of an encouraging community, ask questions, see questions asked by others, and get daily reminders of the readings.
2. He can go it on his own by visiting the homepage of SeekingScripture each day where I’ll have a list of the readings at the top of the page. Keep in mind that both options will have an audio version of the notes as well as a print version.
I definitely recommend joining the group if at all possible. Many who start out on their own wish they had of joined the group after membership has closed and end up having to wait a year. But either one he chooses has the potential to help him become a daily Bible reader and understand it like never before <3 I hope he joins us one way or another!
Membership to the group closes in 6 days. I’m going to email you this response as well to make sure you see it.
Ready to get word more in my life and mind.
