How to use the BibleProject App

As we have been using the app, we wanted to give you some pro tips for navigating through the app easily. The app is broken into five major sections. We will break down each major section below:

  • Journey takes you on a guided reading tour through the first five books of the Bible to help you explore the five books in various MOVEMENTS. Movements are collections of stories/ poems within a specific book that are carefully arranged together in a meaningful way. Movements are how the original Biblical writers organized each book to communicate the main points, and help people see the story of the Book.

    In Journey, you will see how the original audience would have read the Bible, tracing important themes throughout each movement to see the unified storyline of the Bible that leads to Jesus. As you read, you will also have access to helpful videos and podcasts for you to dive deeper and capture your imagination for the Bible!

    Make sure you watch the first two videos in Journey or this section will not make sense: Movements & Links

    NOTE: This is an exciting, fresh, and ancient way to read the Bible! However, if you are brand new to the Bible, we would encourage you to check out one of our curated plans below:

    SUGGESTED READING PLANS

  • Skills are specific studies in the Bible that will help you develop reading skills to experience the Bible the way it was designed. This section is divided into three subsections:

    1. Patterns: Trace similar words, images, and themes throughout the Bible that form patterns. Dig deeper into these patterns that connect the entire Biblical story.

    2. Style: The Bible is ancient literature written in many different styles. Learn more about these specific styles to develop the skills to read each part of the Bible well.

    3. Structure: the Bible is literary art, and each book is crafted in a way to contribute to the entire storyline of the Bible. See how recognizing structure can bring the whole story to life.

  • This is the built in Bible that you can use for free! Once you click into this section, at the top of the screen, you can select from the two major sections of the Bible (the Old and New Testament). Within each testament, you can select the individual book.

    • Pro tip: From the three options "Traditional, Hebrew, or Storyline", we recommend Storyline. This feature orders the books in a way that makes following the story of the Bible easier.

    You can also change the translation of the Bible. Out of the current translations available, we recommend the NIV or NASB.

    Lastly, BibleProject has included Resource References at the beginning of many chapters and on many verses. You will see if there is a resource attached to a specific chapter/ verse if it is highlighted in BLUE. These resources include helpful videos, podcasts, and blog posts to better understand the context of what you're reading. We use all of these resources to dive deep into the Bible!
