A New Season at Inscribe The Word
Over the years, Inscribe the Word has taken many shapes. We started with The Felicity Bee, moved to A Symphony of Praise, and then to Inscribe the Word. Thank you to those who have been here since the beginning (2016) and those who are just starting their journey with Inscribe The Word.
Some seasons were highly structured with plans, lists, and year-long journeys through Scripture. Those seasons were faithful and meaningful, and I’m deeply grateful for them.
But the last few years have ushered me into a new season, and I’d like to explain our direction going forward.
Recognizing Seasons.
It is important for us to be in tune with our lives and stories so we can discern the seasons of the Lord.
From the middle of May 2024 through 2025, my physical health and mental health have required more care, more listening, and more honesty than I’ve allowed myself in a long time. What I’ve learned, slowly, humbly, and painfully, is that I can no longer carry Scripture as a program or a performance; a checklist at the start of the day.
I need to carry it as a place of encounter, a source of life, and the inspired Word of God that informs EVERYTHING I live, say, and do.
Through suffering, Scripture has moved from something I check off my list to something that holds me. In this season, the story I’m living is shaping how I understand the Word, revealing Jesus and the Father’s love in ways I could not have known before.
I want to be clear about something: I am still inscribing the Word.
But in this season, it looks different.
I am reading through the Bible this year with the Bible Project, and each day I write down passages the Holy Spirit draws my attention to. Some days that’s a full section. Some days it’s a single verse. The practice remains central, it is just no longer structured as a public plan or a prescribed pace.
Because of that, my health and the demands at the community theater I run, Inscribe the Word, is changing its posture. It isn’t going away; it is coming into a deeper understanding of who we are and the season we are in.
A Shift.
In 2026 and possibly beyond, as the Lord leads, this space is no longer centered around yearly plans, lists, or teaching series. I’m not leading others through a set path of Scripture here. I’m walking with Scripture, and recording what it is doing in me.
Inscribe the Word is becoming a place of testimony.
That means this space will hold:
Scripture I am sitting with
Words God is forming in me as I write
Reflections that are offered, not assigned
An invitation to live Scripture and to seenhow your story invites you to bring Scripture to life
Each week, on Substack and at our website, I’ll share Scripture-shaped reflections drawn from lived lifestories from the theater, marriage, motherhood, faith, and formation, where God’s Word continues to shape how I see and live. There will be no required pace, no expectations to keep up, and no pressure to respond.
Is There Going To Be a 2026 Plan?
Many of you have reached out asking about Scripture-writing plans for 2026. I won’t be releasing a new 12-month Scripture-writing plan this year.
That decision comes from the same place as this shift: a desire to tend both faithfulness and sustainability with care.
For those who are needing for structure right now, I offer two options with more being added throughout the year:
The Gospel of John in a year
The ITW Library with over 55 Scripture-writing plans
If Scripture has felt heavy or overwhelming, you are welcome here. If you need to read slowly, write gently, or simply listen, you are welcome here. And if you step away for a season, that is okay, too.
I’m learning that faithfulness doesn’t always look like building or producing. Sometimes it looks like staying without disappearing.
Thank you for being here, in whatever way this season allows.
I can’t wait to see where the Holy Spirit leads.
