Goal Setting in GPBIBLE: Simple Steps, Real Growth

Hey friends — one of the things we hear all the time is:

“I want to grow spiritually… I just don’t always know where to start.”

And honestly, same.

Building habits like prayer, Scripture reading, or quiet time sounds beautiful… but life gets full fast.

That’s why the Goal Setting feature in the GPBIBLE app is one of our favorites.

It’s not about pressure. It’s about taking one small step toward Jesus — with support along the way.

Start with a Goal That Matters to You

Inside the app, you can choose a weekly goal like:

• Help me grow in daily prayer

• Engage more deeply with Scripture

Or you can write your own goal based on what God’s been putting on your heart.

It’s personal, simple, and actually doable.

A 1-Week Plan Made Just for You

Once you set your goal, GPBIBLE (with the help of CALEB, your study companion) creates a 1-week plan with practical opportunities to help you follow through.

So instead of feeling overwhelmed, you get small next steps like:

• Setting a prayer alarm

• Praying through the Lord’s Prayer each morning

• Writing down one prayer request a day

• Practicing a few minutes of quiet reflection

These aren’t meant to be heavy. They’re meant to help you build rhythm.

And if a plan doesn’t feel like the right fit, you can always refresh it or adjust.

Track Progress as You Go

Throughout the week, you can tap each opportunity as you complete it and watch your progress grow.

It’s a simple reminder that spiritual growth happens one faithful step at a time.

Not overnight — but over time.

Add It to Your Calendar (Yes, Really)

One of the most helpful parts?

You can actually add your goal plan to your calendar, so you get reminders during the week.

Because sometimes we don’t need more motivation…

We just need a gentle nudge.

A small prompt to pause, pray, and realign our hearts with Christ.

Growth That Points Back to Jesus

At the end of the day, GPBIBLE goals aren’t about self-improvement.

They’re about discipleship.

They’re about making space for the Lord in our everyday lives.

Small habits. Weekly steps. Real faith.

And every goal is meant to lead us back to the same place:

Jesus.
