There's a particular weight to an empty page at the start of a new year. Not the burden of obligation, but the quiet presence of possibility—space that waits to be filled with intention rather than accident.
For the past 7 years, we've been creating Christian planners at Hello Revival with a single guiding question: What does it mean to plan a life that honors both productivity and presence? The answer, we've found, isn't found in doing more. It's found in the deliberate practice of aligning our daily rhythms with what we believe matters most.
Today, I'm excited to share the new 2026 Christian Planner with you. It's not another productivity tool, but a companion for the year ahead.
The Practice of Intentional Planning
I didn't grow up as a planner person. For years, I relied on digital calendars and note apps, convinced that paper was inefficient. But something shifted when I became a father and my work expanded beyond what could fit neatly into calendar blocks. I needed a place where prayer requests could sit alongside project deadlines, where Scripture could inform strategy, where the sacred and the mundane weren't separate categories but woven threads of the same life.
That's when I discovered what devotional planners could be. Not just faith-based planners with Bible verses printed in the margins, but tools designed for integration—daily planners that understand the Christian life isn't compartmentalized into spiritual moments and everything else. It's all spiritual. It's all sacred.
The 2026 Christian Planner grew from this conviction.
What Makes a Christian Planner Different
When we set out to design our annual Christian planner, we began with a simple premise: faith planning should feel natural, not forced. Many Christian daily planners treat spirituality as an add-on. Bible verse stickers on an otherwise secular structure. We wanted something different. Something holistic.
Our faith-based planner includes:
Vision Board to start the year with clarity and purpose. Space to articulate what matters most before the calendar fills.
Monthly and Weekly Planning Pages designed to help you manage time while staying connected to your priorities. Layouts that integrate tasks, routines, habits, and action items into a cohesive weekly rhythm.
Weekly Bible Verses to keep you encouraged throughout the year. Scripture that meets you where you are, week by week.
Sermon Notes for capturing what you learn on Sundays, creating a record of spiritual formation that extends beyond the moment.
Gratitude Lists for noting what you're thankful for. The practice of paying attention to grace in ordinary days.
Personal Space throughout for drawing, writing, and dreaming. Margins for the thoughts that emerge when you slow down enough to notice.
End-of-Year Reflection to look back on all that God has done, creating a testimony of faithfulness that spans twelve months.
The best Christian planners, we believe, are the ones you'll actually use. That's why our 2026 planner balances structure with flexibility, offering enough guidance to be useful without becoming prescriptive.
The Quiet Revolution of Paper Planning
There's a counterintuitive trend happening. As our lives become more digital, more people are returning to paper planners. Not out of nostalgia, but out of necessity. The research is clear: handwriting activates different neural pathways than typing. Physical writing slows us down in ways that serve formation rather than mere information.
A Christian journal planner offers something an app cannot: the tactile practice of writing your prayers, the visual reminder of patterns and growth, the ability to flip back through months and see how God has been faithful. Digital reminders notify. Paper invites presence.
For those seeking the best Christian planner for their particular rhythm, we've learned this: the right planner isn't the one with the most features. It's the one that disappears into your daily life, becoming less of a tool and more of a practice.
Four Colorways for Four Postures
This year, we're offering the 2026 Christian Planner in four intentional colors. Each one chosen for the posture it invites:
Olive for those drawn to peace and the earth's quiet wisdom.
Warm Oak for those who find God in stability and warmth. Rich, grounded, steady.
Black for those who appreciate clarity and focus. Classic, intentional, distraction-free.
Natural (new this year) for those seeking simplicity and light. Undyed, honest, returning to what's essential. Space that doesn't compete for attention but offers it freely.
The physical form matters because formation is physical. A Bible planner you enjoy holding is one you'll return to daily. A spiritual planner that feels good in your hands becomes a tactile reminder of commitment.
Planning as Spiritual Practice
Here's what years of making devotional planners has taught me: the most transformative planning isn't about optimization. It's about faithfulness in small things.
The Christian planner that changes your year isn't the one with the most innovative system. It's the one that helps you show up, day after day, to the practice of aligning your life with your deepest convictions. It's about creating margin for what Eugene Peterson called "a long obedience in the same direction."
Some days, faith planning looks like ambitious goal-setting and strategic thinking. Other days, it looks like writing a single prayer request or noting one thing you're grateful for. Both matter. Both are formation.
The best faith planner accommodates both seasons.
An Invitation
The 2026 Christian Planner is available for pre-order now at a special 15% discount. Orders will ship starting November 24th in the sequence they're received.
We've kept our production intentionally limited. Not as a marketing tactic, but as a commitment to quality over quantity. Each planner is crafted to last the full year, bound to withstand daily use, printed on paper that invites writing without bleed-through.
This isn't just another Christian daily planner with Scripture verses. It's an invitation to a year of intentional living. Where your faith and your daily life aren't separate categories but woven threads of the same calling.
The year ahead is unwritten. The question isn't whether you'll fill it, but with what.
Perhaps this year, you'll plan differently.
