Hello TTW Family - 

Pastor Kris here with the latest news and updates for TTW. Hope you're all hanging in there through all the crazy that 2020 is throwing at you. We're praying for you! Now here's what's going on... 

App Store Reviews! (a great way to help TTW!)

If you're looking for a great way to help our mission here at TTW and tell the world about that app, this is your chance. We need your review! Posting a review to the app store takes just a minute, and it makes a big difference in moving TTW up on search results and helping users know what they're getting. Plus, we love reading your TTW stories! And its easy...

1. Choose your store: Apple App Store or Google Play Store

2. Select "Write a Review"

3. Tell your TTW story!

*Note: If you have issues with the app, please email us rather than post a bad review. Most issues can be solved easily in one or two email, and email makes it much easier for us to respond: help@throughtheword.org.

Coming to Social Media Sept 1: #verseoftheday

We're launching an all new series on social media called #verseoftheday. We'll post more details when we launch, but for now, you can connect with us on any of our social media pages. Just look for @throughtheword - and friend us! Then watch for daily #votd posts beginning on September 1!

New Plans: Faith, Peace, & Anxiety

 Hello TTW Family - 

Pastor Kris here with some quick news and updates. First off, big thanks to everyone who donated as part of our TTW Journal promo. Thanks to you, this was our biggest promo yet, and we will be sending out more than a thousand journals! That also means that we ran out of our first batch, so we've already ordered more and we'll be sending those out in the a couple weeks. If you ordered either one or two journals before August 6, you should get yours in the mail this week (international will take longer). The rest will send out as soon as our next shipment comes in. And also thanks to all our amazing donors, we have lots of new Audio Guides and plans coming your way. And in other news...

New Plans on Faith, Peace & Anxiety!

We just launched the first four plans in a brand new series of topical plans called Bible Basics Explained. We're kicking it off with plans on Anxiety (parts 1 & 2), Faith, and Peace. These plans have been in the works for a long time now, and I am so excited to finally see them launched! You can find the new plans on the Browse page under "Bible Topics & Extras" (see the screen shot below). 

And there are more BBE plans in the works - on essential topics like forgiveness, the Ten Commandments, science, and more. Part one on the Anxiety plan was a labor of love for me, as I had the opportunity to work together with my young-adult daughter who has wrestled with anxiety issues for most of her life. I was so thankful for the time together as we got to open the Word and talk through our experiences and trials and find God's love and understanding. The plan walks through Daisy's favorite Psalm, and in it I share much of what God taught me - through Psalm 139, through my daughter's trials, and through my own experience with anxiety. I hope that the plan will be an encouragement to you. You can find it on the TTW app (see screenshot) and also on the YouVersion Bible app here: https://bible.com/reading-plans/20472 (the YouVersion plan also comes with the text and follow up questions for discussion).
