New Plans on Faith & Anxiety. Plus Android is back!

Hello TTW! Hope you are doing well and blessed. Pastor Kris here with a couple quick updates - including some brand new plans for you to check out on TTW. We launched a whole new series, and we also fixed and updated the TTW Android app. Check out the news below...

New Plans on Faith & Anxiety!
We just launched the first three 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) and Faith. 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 peace, 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!)

  1. Thank you so much for the TTW. I really enjoy it.
    I would love for the TTW app to be made available for The Kindle Fire. I do all my Bible studies on my 2 Fires and take notes on my phone via the 'Ond Note' app. But I have to use my phone for the TTW app so it's a hassle flipping back and forth to take notes. Any suggestions will be welcomed.
    Thanks again for the wonderful series.
    God Bless all of you.
