Technology has taken a sizeable chunk of our lives and it affects us directly or indirectly. The way you use it can either strengthen your relationship with Christ or hinder it. I have compiled a list of the top 5 apps I believe every Christian should have.
Youversion
In spite of the fact that there are so many bible apps and versions available, the YouVersion bible stands out. Globally, it has over half a billion installs as of this writing.
To help you connect with God, YouVersion offers daily bible verses and guided prayer prompts. You can add friends from around the world by connecting your Facebook account.
There is a pool of bible reading plans on any topic you might be interested in. These plans can be done either on our own or with friends. You can even do plans privately or publicly where your friends can see your history.
I did not list all that Youversion offers here, but there are plenty more. You can access all this free without being bothered by ads. What are you waiting for? Download the Youversion bible app today.
Abide
Our society has become increasingly concerned with mental health issues. Despite what people might think, we also find people dealing with mental health and depression in the church. Abide meditation app has never been more useful than it is today.
While there are other popular apps like Mindfulness and Calm, Abide stands out because someone created solely it for Christians. There is a yearly premium fee to access all the features, but the free version is more than sufficient.
The free version includes daily bible readings, daily meditations, and sleep stories. While limited, you also get access to meditation filters and topics. Download Abide and start meditating on God’s word today.
Podcasts app
There are various Christian podcast apps, but I have only used general podcast apps like Spotify and Google Podcasts. What matters most is who you listen to and who you follow, not which podcast app you use.
Christians must have a wide range of knowledge about a variety of topics. The Bible tells us to study to show ourselves approved in 2 Timothy 2:15. There is no better way to study than to listen to podcasts wherever and whenever you want. Most podcast apps are freely available on all platforms.
Boundless.org and Focus on the Family are two podcasts I recommend for everyone to follow. Whether you are on the go or you are working, listening to podcasts is one of the best investments you can do for your future else.
Slowly
There hasn’t been much discussion about this application, but I think it deserves some attention. It functions like an old-school letter-writing app in this age of instant gratification. Sending letters/messages using Slowly delivers them fast or slowly depending on their final destination.
It is a better way to make friends around the world and it has allowed me to share my faith and testimonies with people on the other side of the globe. I have learned to be patient through this application, as some letters take days to deliver.
To access all features, pay a yearly fee, but you can do almost everything with the free version. The app uses avatars and aliases, which makes it easier to open up to people anonymously.
ChristianAudio
I can only describe this app and website as Audible for Christians. Their vision is to be one of the most trusted places on the internet for the refreshment and growth of the soul. Their library comprises over 7500plus titles, including audiobooks and audio bibles.
A 30-day free trial is available, and no charges are incurred during the trial. You receive four free credits when you sign up, which you can use to purchase books. Sign up for the free trial today.
Conclusion
Knowledge is not power; it is potential power only if you use it. These are just 5 of a ton of apps that can be helpful for you as a Christian. I pray you will find some of the above-listed apps helpful on your journey with Christ.
