Publishing Tip: Writing Timeless Bible Plans

Writing a Plan that feels relevant today and still resonates years from now is a unique challenge. Whether someone starts your Plan the day it’s posted or five years later, we want it to still be impactful. New people are downloading the Bible App all the time, and we’re excited for them to discover all the content available to them.

Here are our tips for writing Plans that resonate for years to come: 

1. Focus on Scripture. Plans are built to help people study and understand God's Word, meditate on its promises, and apply biblical truths to their lives. Write with the purpose of helping people know and love God through His Word.
2. Write toward timeless needs. Centering your Plan on a topic such as peace or joy will help it continue to be relevant, no matter when or in what context someone begins your Plan.
3. Stay mission-minded. We are honored to partner with ministries like yours who are focused on helping people engage with God through His Word every day. Content written toward that mission stays meaningful long after cultural context shifts.
4. Excellence honors God and inspires people. Plans written with excellence in mind motivate readers to return each day and stick with them for years to come. Focus on pastoral care and writing quality. Consider what you want someone to come away with each day and what the whole Plan is leading them toward.
