Stop just reading the Bible. Start understanding it.

Project 3|26 is a discipleship journey through Scripture that helps you understand the Bible, process it with others, and live it as a follower of Jesus.

Understanding that leads somewhere

You cannot faithfully live what you do not understand.

Project 3|26 helps you move beyond simply finishing chapters toward understanding Scripture and allowing it to shape the way you follow Jesus.

The moment we are built for

“I read the chapter. I’m just not sure what I’m supposed to see.”

Why does this detail matter? Where is this happening? What did this mean then?
Read

Start with Scripture.

Open one chapter and know what is worth watching as you read.

Understand

See what the text means.

Use guided study, podcasts, context, maps, and COMPASS™ to work through the chapter.

Connect

Process it with others.

Talk through what you are learning, pray together, and encourage others on the journey.

Live

Put it into practice.

Move from understanding into prayer, obedience, and daily discipleship.

The goal is not more Bible information. It is becoming a disciple who increasingly lives what Jesus teaches.

COMPASS™

Understanding Scripture should not stop when you get stuck.

Ask questions while the chapter is still in front of you and keep moving deeper into the text.

✓
Ask natural questionsNo special prompt language required.
✓
Explore trusted contextHistorical, cultural, geographical, and textual help stays connected to the chapter.
✓
Keep Scripture centralCOMPASS™ is a study assistant designed to help you understand the Bible, not replace it.
COMPASS™John 4
In context
Why was it unusual for Jesus to talk with this woman?

This moment crosses more than one social boundary.

A useful answer needs more than a quick definition. It needs the chapter, the historical setting, and the significance of the encounter working together.

COMPASS™ helps bring those pieces together while you remain in the study.

COMPASS™ is grounded in Project 3|26 content and approved sources.

Context changes what you see

The Bible happened in real places, among real people, in a real world.

Geography, culture, history, and movement help you understand what Scripture meant before asking how it should shape your life now.

A rhythm for discipleship

Read. Understand. Connect. Live.

Every part of Project 3|26 is designed to help Scripture move from the page into the way you follow Jesus.

Discipleship was never meant to happen alone.

Understanding becomes more powerful when you can process it with people who are walking through the same Scriptures with you.

✓
Pray togetherShare prayer needs and support one another beyond the study itself.
✓
Keep moving togetherEncourage one another toward consistency, obedience, and growth.

Why Project 3|26 exists

We are not just trying to get through the Bible. We want the Bible to get through to us.

Project 3|26 was created to help everyday people understand what they are reading, walk through Scripture with others, and put it into practice. The technology serves one purpose: helping people grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.
