Edit: I strongly agree with the person that mentioned Melanie Herlbut. I avoid listening to her sessions, which makes me sad, because I would really like to do the topics she covers. But I can’t handle being talked to like I’m a child. Also, I agree with the person that said they wished you could keep all the movie references like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and Narnia out. I want to hear from the Bible, not a movie review, and when you go off on those tangents it’s very distracting from the Word. Otherwise, I absolutely love TTW. I get into it every morning. There’s times I go through whole books in one sitting. I have been through Revelations, Daniel, Esther, Ezra and most of the New Testament several times. Waiting on new books to go through 💖💖 do my Daily Devotions with it every morning. Kris is of course, my favorite. One thing big on my wish list, please have each minister start telling which version of the Bible they are reading from in that session as I like to follow along. Every time I think I have their preferred version, they go to another one, then I have to play back and play back until I find the correct one at the beginning. I do always like to go back at the end and read the whole book though in the kjv. Just a purist at heart. Anyway, if that could be added somehow, that would be great. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would like this.
One of My Favorite Apps
BrutusismyBBB
As of writing, I have been using this app for 10 months. The teachings are insightful, entertaining and informative. I love that you can choose the version of the Bible to use, whether to hear the lesson or the chapter first and that you can do things in any order. My friends and I began with Journey 1 and are working through those in order. While, on its own, the teachings are top-notch, the creators were smart enough to know that we need accountability and they built that in to the app, too. My friends and I record a message after each lesson. This allows us all to have a “conversation” about the lesson even if some of us are traveling. While life sometimes causes us to get behind, knowing the others are still going is a big motivator to get it finished. We just powered through Leviticus; the teachings were better than any of us imagined they could be and we finished right on schedule, having completed one chapter per day. Not may people can claim that (unless they are using this app). I recommend this to everyone I know, but I can’t advise you strongly enough to find a couple others and go through it with them. If you don’t, you’ll be sleeping on a feature that I believe is equally as important as the teachings and Bible readings because it helps you stay on track and enriches the teachings.
Never been more excited to read the Bible!

I’ve been a Christian all my life, with seasons of really being into my faith and going to church every week to seasons of barely thinking about God. Then 13 years ago I found a great church and pastor that I learned more from than my entire 50 years before and it revived my faith and helped me see it’s all about Jesus and my relationship with Him. And then a few years later, finding You Version helped me become even more excited to learn and grow through their devotions/plans. It was in that app that I started listening to Revelation Explained and Pastor Kris. I loved it so much that I found a couple more books Explained that I went through before thinking I have to get the TTW app! And as so many have said, I have never been so excited to sit down every day and read the Bible. I actually look forward to my time I sit and listen to Pastor Kris! He not only brings greater understanding to each and every chapter of the Bible, but does so in such a relatable way with not only how the Bible all relates, but with real life stories and ways you can apply it in your own life. I love his speaking style - he’s funny, smart and he just knows so much that I feel he’s full of wisdom from God. I’ve grown in my faith and learned so much in the 7 short months I’ve listened to TTW! Thank you Pastor Kris for this truly wonderful app!
Finding God “Through the Word”
Hi-Wi Army
Long time believer, first time Bible reader. My true introduction and deep dive into the word of God came through the You Version Holy Bible app which is great. However, after receiving a strong personal recommendation to check out Through the Word app, it truly took my quest for knowledge and understanding of the Bible to a whole new level! As much as I want to understand and interpret the word of God to apply it to my everyday life and beliefs, I feel the Bible can be somewhat difficult to follow for a new comer as many of the messages that are being conveyed can be lost in translation if you’re uncertain what to make of it. This is why I realized Through the Word was a game changer for me from the first chapter of the Bible I listened and read along to while Pastor Kris Langham & company added their audio commentary. Their interpretation and explanation of the word in a down to Earth and relatable way as it applies to our daily lives today is truly remarkable. I very highly recommend this app for anyone searching for a stronger relationship with God and understanding through His word. In my own personal experience with Through the Word, it’s been like being able to avoid heavy traffic and roadblocks and jumping into an unobstructed fast lane leading me directly to my destination which in my case is building a stronger spiritual relationship Through the Word.
