November 2026 · 30 days in the Word

30 Days in Luke, at your own pace.

One reading a day through the Gospel of Luke, from the angel’s promise to the road to Emmaus. Each day has a short journaling prompt. Missed a day? Pick up where you left off. The goal is a month with Jesus, not a perfect record.

November is Global Bible Month, when many churches and ministries invite people to read the Bible every day for 30 days. This guide is one way to take part. Good Soil Discipleship is not affiliated with the event. Learn about Global Bible Month.

Read in Emmaus

The same 30 readings, in the app.

From November 1, open the Word tab in Emmaus and find “30 Days in Luke” under New this month. Emmaus keeps no streak, so there is nothing to break.

Write it down

Pair it with the Good Soil Planner.

Use each day’s prompt in the planner’s reflection space, or in any notebook. Writing slows you down enough to notice what God is saying.
