YWAM | Every Tribe Every Nation Part 2

Hello TTW fam! Pastor Kris here with an important update and fixes on the way for you.

Sole Podcast Season 2 Episode 4

End Bible Poverty Now. That simple motto has become the rallying cry of a phenomenal movement, one that is grounded in a partnership of Bible societies and mission organizations from around the world. In part two of our series (captured at the ETEN Summit in November 2019), Dax Fears of Youth With a Mission shares stories from the front lines of Bible distribution in Mongolia and Nigeria. Find out more at https://www.endbiblepovertynow.com and illuminations.bible.

iPhone/iPad: If you're on iPhone or iPad and experiencing troubles with your app crashing, we are aware of the issue and have a fix on the way. TTW version 3.4.1 causes the app to close when selecting certain audio guides from the Browse menu. Our programmer Zach fixed the issue and submitted it to Apple's App Store, and you should see version 3.4.2 available soon. Watch for it in the app store (here). Thanks for your patience with us!

Android - Temporarily out of the App Store: Recent updates to the Android system have caused our audio player to have significant issues on Android devices, and we are working hard now to fix all issues. For more details, including how to hear TTW on podcast or how to get the TTW app outside the app store, click here. TTW will be back in the Android app store soon, and we are working hard now to fix all issues. Thanks for your patience and your prayers - we appreciate it!

And in other news...

iPhone App Update = Lots of Player Fixes
We just launched a major update to our iPhone app with a bunch of great fixes and upgrades to the audio player. The Android update is in the works now, so please pray for our programmer Zach as he makes progress there. Here is a list of the upgrades you'll find:
- Bluetooth: Works great in your car, on Alexa, etc.
- Lockscreen Audio Player: Now you can pause, ffwd, etc from your iPhone lock screen
- Autoplay: Now the autoplay keeps going when your screen is locked or dark.
- PreAudio: Won't keep playing repeatedly on the same plan.
- Get the TTW update in the iPhone App Store
(And while you're in the app store, please rate and review TTW! Every 5-star rating helps us reach more people - so thanks!)

And more other news...

Journey #'s are Changing by One!
As of last Tuesday, all Journey numbers just went up by one number. That's because we added a new Journey #1! Well, technically we split the old Journey #2, and moved half of it to Journey #1. So now there will be a total of 19 Journeys instead of 18. Now the new 19 Journeys start like this:
Journey #1 | Start (Mark & Colossians. Formerly part of Foundations).
Journey #2 | The Big Picture (Overview the Bible. Formerly Journey #1)
Journey #3 | Foundations (Genesis, Daniel, Romans)
- Note that Daniel was added and Mark & Colossians moved to J#1.
Journey #4 | Law & Grace (unchanged)...
The rest are the same as before, just bumped up by one number.
If you were subscribed to Foundations... your progress should be saved, but your plan has now been split into two parts (the new Journey #1 | Start, and Journey #3 | Foundations).
Note: If you don't see those plans on your Home page, go to the Browse page and subscribe again. Your progress will still be there, but the app may have unsubscribed you by accident when the update was made.

If you were subscribed to any other Journey... you don't need to do anything. The journey number will automatically go up by one.

Here's why we made the update: After much prayer and careful consideration, we decided that brand new listeners should start their Bible journey with the story of Jesus - before they get an overview of the whole Bible. The change will also bring the app Journeys onto the same plan that we are now launching on YouVersion and our new Bible Audio Guide Podcast, so that all platforms have the same plans. We do apologize for any confusion, and appreciate your understanding as we take this important step moving forward. Please let us know if you experience any frustration or confusion as the change moves forward. Email us at help@throughtheword.org.

MegaVoice | Every Tribe Every Nation Part 1

Hello TTW fam! Pastor Kris here with an important update and fixes on the way for you.

One Bible. Seven-thousand languages. In the history of the world, no message has ever been translated into all of humanity's 7,000+ languages. In November 2019, the ETEN Summit gathered Bible translators and distributors from across the globe to collaborate as they move forward in their unprecedented task. If their plan succeeds, the Bible will be the first. Kris Langham sits down with Darrell Templeton of MegaVoice to share some phenomenal stories of lives transformed as distant tribes hear the Word of God for the first time.

Sole Podcast: Faith & Pandemic Part 2

Android News! TTW is Temporarily Out of the App Store
Hello TTW fam. Pastor Kris here with an important update. We have temporarily removed our TTW app from the Android app stores. Recent updates to the Android system have caused our audio player to have significant issues on Android devices, and we are working hard now to fix all issues. This change will not remove the app from your device, and all current users can continue to use the app as before. However, you will not be able to download the app from the app store onto new devices, and new users will not be able to get TTW on Android. While you are waiting, you can access many of our audio guides and plans in two great places:

The new Bible Audio Guide podcast has Journeys 1 and 2, with more on the way. Use these links to find the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or Spotify.
The YouVersion Bible app has more than 50 TTW plans. Just search their plans for "Explained" for our book plans, or "19 Journeys" to find our first two Journeys (with more on the way).

TTW will be back in the Android app store soon, and we are working hard now to fix all issues. Thanks for your patience and your prayers - we appreciate it! In other news...

Hey TTW family! Pastor Kris here. The Sole Podcast has been on break for a couple months, but we're bringing it back today - and for the first time, you can join the recording live - even before the episode premieres. Season 2 opens with another phenomenal testimony as we interview Dr. Dung "Iggy" Trinh - UCI Med School professor, ER doctor, founder of Tongue Out medical missions, and gifted explainer of all things medical. He also has a powerful back story, escaping Vietnam at 5 years old on the last day of the war. Dr. Iggy is a trusted voice in health and medicine here in Southern California, and we invited him to share his story and answer questions about COVID-19 and much more. We'll take on important questions - like where faith meets medicine - and where grace meets pandemic!

The live broadcast for two full episodes begins at 5pm PST / 7pm EST / 12am GMT at facebook.com/throughtheword/live, and we will post it to solepodcast.com later this week.

And in other news...

Journey #'s are Changing by One!
As of last Tuesday, all Journey numbers just went up by one number. That's because we added a new Journey #1! Well, technically we split the old Journey #2, and moved half of it to Journey #1. So now there will be a total of 19 Journeys instead of 18. Now the new 19 Journeys start like this:
Journey #1 | Start (Mark & Colossians. Formerly part of Foundations).
Journey #2 | The Big Picture (Overview the Bible. Formerly Journey #1)
Journey #3 | Foundations (Genesis, Daniel, Romans)
- Note that Daniel was added and Mark & Colossians moved to J#1.
Journey #4 | Law & Grace (unchanged)...
The rest are the same as before, just bumped up by one number.

If you were subscribed to Foundations... your progress should be saved, but your plan has now been split into two parts (the new Journey #1 | Start, and Journey #3 | Foundations).
Note: If you don't see those plans on your Home page, go to the Browse page and subscribe again. Your progress will still be there, but the app may have unsubscribed you by accident when the update was made.

If you were subscribed to any other Journey... you don't need to do anything. The journey number will automatically go up by one.

Here's why we made the update: After much prayer and careful consideration, we decided that brand new listeners should start their Bible journey with the story of Jesus - before they get an overview of the whole Bible. The change will also bring the app Journeys onto the same plan that we are now launching on YouVersion and our new Bible Audio Guide Podcast, so that all platforms have the same plans. We do apologize for any confusion, and appreciate your understanding as we take this important step moving forward. Please let us know if you experience any frustration or confusion as the change moves forward. Email us at help@throughtheword.org.
