THOUSANDS OF 5-STAR REVIEWS AND LISTENER STORIES

"Great tool on your Bible journey! I started using Through the Word when my small group was reading through Revelations and I was having a lot of trouble understanding it. I enjoyed it so much, I kept listening on my daily commute. Pastor Kris and all the instructors break down the scripture in a way that easy to understand and will be meaningful to the reader. I love the journeys and the special plans for holidays. Highly recommend!" –Teacheraec (June 5, 2026)

"So far, I love the App especially when I listen in my car on the way to or after work. It is easy to navigate and the information is fun, light hearted and informative, much like being in a small group Bible study. I love that it is free to use and advertisement free. Great job to the developers. The Lord will use this app to reach so many people." –Night Lion (December 26, 2024)

Ratings and reviews

I love this app! I've been using this app on and off for years, and I'm so happy to see so much more content this time around! I love the ability to have virtual Bible groups with friends. The one and only thing I wish is that there were the ability to highlight and create notes within the app and the particular lesson and potentially even to clip certain audio within the app/lesson so that when you study again, you have your notes/audio clips from last time.

One of the most engaging Bible apps I’ve ever used. It offers short, clear, and thoughtful audio guides that walk you through each chapter of the Bible in about 8–10 minutes. The teachers do a great job of explaining scripture in a way that’s easy to understand while still being deep and meaningful. What sets this app apart is how accessible it makes daily Bible study. The bite-sized lessons not only help you understand the Bible, but also show you how to apply it to everyday life.

Love, love LOVE this app! So much good stuff to learn and such an amazing way to learn it. I LOVE the voices (Pastor Kris is my favorite), the tools, the group features, the guides, and the easy way it's all made available to me! Such an amazing way to walk through not only the Bible but specific themes, certain portions of the Bible appropriate for certain seasons of life, share in the journey with others and just really enjoy the word. Been a fan for years and am so grateful for all they do!
