Get your TTW Journal! Plus new plans!

Hello TTW! Pastor Kris here with some quick news and updates - including our brand new TTW Journals! Hope you guys are well. Here's the news...

TTW Journals for July Donors!
For all of you who've been asking about TTW merchandise, and for anyone who wants to start (or restart) a good journaling habit, we've got just the thing! It's our first ever paper TTW Journal - with the TTW logo imprinted right on the cover. It's the perfect place to do your Bible journaling, record a daily diary, or keep a prayer log. We're sending them out free to anyone who donates to TTW in July. If you'd like to receive one, the instructions are simple:
  1. Donate any amount at ttw.churchcenter.com/giving
  2. Complete this order form: https://ttw.churchcenter.com/people/forms/150469
Be sure to complete both steps! We can't send the journal until you complete the form. Orders will take a couple weeks while supplies last (then we'll get more!).

For any of you looking for a Sunday service to join online, you're invited to join me at facebook.com/refugelb/live - Sunday mornings at 11am PST / 2pm EST / 6pm GMT. See you there!

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).


TTW Android is back! 
TTW is back in the app store again with some essential fixes and upgrades. Recent updates to the Android OS created issues for the TTW app, so we pulled it to make necessary fixes. It's back now - but if your app still experiences trouble, please let us know at help@throughtheword.org. Thanks so much! Get Android here: TTW App in Google Play Store.

And a little more 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!)
