Best Apps for Your Christian Walk

Best Apps for your Phone or Tablet


I'm convinced that technology is amoral - it's neither good nor bad in and of itself. However, it can be used for purposes unbecoming of a Christian. If you are a Christian, and you use a smart phone or a tablet, there are amazing apps available to assist you in your Christian walk. Below is a short list of some I recommend.

Each of these apps are free and useful for the life of a Christian seeking to be more like Jesus Christ. While they may not all be necessarily "Christian apps" they are useful for the Christian believer.



Bible by YouVersion

Bible (iOS | Android / Windows / Amazon)

Bible by youversion is still my go-to app for Bible reading.  Follow along every week with Sunday worship at KCC by using the Live feature of Bible. Place a Bible verse on an image, either stock or your own, and share it to Facebook or other social media. Choose a Bible plan and be reminded daily to read. Social media integration allows you to create a friend list to share with one another what you are reading. Videos from major Bible-based motion pictures. are integrated right in the app. Enjoy reading from numerous Bible versions and in countless translations.

Spotify

Music (iOS / Android / Windows)

Spotify  Listen to Christian music at home or on the go with streaming service Spotify. It's free if you don't mind ads. The Premium version for $9.99 a month removes the ads and allows you to listen to music without connection to a tower or WiFi. Search for a playlist and listen to your favorite artists just like a radio station. Create your own playlist and share it! Listen to an artist and find related artist recommendations.



Memorize Anything

Bible Memorization (iOS)

Memorize Anything by Bendy Tree allows you to record your own voice reciting scripture then play it back. Depending on the setting the app will drop words as you speak allowing you to fill in the space as you memorize valuable Bible verses. Listen to it over and over at home or in your car to "hide God's word" in your heart!


Echo

Prayer (iOS / Android)

Echo Prayer Manager - Echo Prayer Manager by Echoprayer.com is simple and easy to use. It keeps track of who I'm praying for as well as allowing me to mark prayers as answered. It even sends me a push or email reminder to pray based on the settings I choose. The Interface is clear and user-friendly.

Sermons (iOS)

Overcast- This is a podcasting app for iOS. Podcasts are free programs available on the Internet to listen to live or archived. You can find a Podcast on just about any topic under the sun. Use Overcast to listen to sermons from well-known speakers and pastors like Liz Curtis Higgs, Rick Warren, Andy Stanley, Craig Groschel and so many more.
