It is one of Northwest Christian’s longest standing traditions! The Red Letter Challenge is Mr. Brown’s annual invitation to join him in reading through the four gospels in three months, one chapter per day. Imagine the fun of experiencing Jesus in a fresh and new way…while experiencing the same stories and teachings alongside your friends, teachers, and Mr. Brown! And, of course, we’re going to go over-the-top with the fun at the same time.
To facilitate some of the fun, the Red Letter Challenge annually follows a theme. Last year, our theme was Legos. This year, we are looking forward to a video game-based theme.
Following the scheduled Bible reading plan below, the Crusader community can work through the gospels corporately. Within the daily schedule, you have two opportunities. First, if you click on the scripture passage itself, the provided link will take you straight to that specific passage on Biblegateway.com. Second, each day throughout the three months, you will be able to click on the video game image right next to the listed passage. Following that link, you will open the Off the Page Book Club podcast where you will be able to listen to Mr. Brown reading a passage from the chapter for that day and offering a devotional thought for students. Be sure to subscribe! There will be a new, five-minute podcast episode each day that your whole family can enjoy as you experience Jesus together.

Yes! As you read through the Red Letter Challenge schedule, at the end of each week, there is a link. If the student has finished all of the daily, chapter-long readings for that week or listened to each episode of the daily podcast, their name can be entered at that link to be part of a weekly drawing. Each week, during elementary chapel, Mr. Brown is going to draw the name of an eligible student participant. That student will win the opportunity for their entire class to spend over an hour in the Epic Video Game Trucks, on Thursday, the following day! As well, each member of the class will receive a free RLC t-shirt designed around the video game theme for that week.
As students mature in their walk with Christ, it is developmentally appropriate to use extrinsic reminders of the intrinsic good that these sorts of daily, spiritual disciplines accomplish within their lives. Please consider using this as the foundation for a lifelong commitment to daily time in God's word. You will discover that God's word is its own reward.
