Leading a small group Bible study can feel intimidating — what if you don't have the training, the time to prepare, or the confidence to teach? Waha removes those barriers entirely. This free, audio-based Discovery Bible Study app facilitates the entire group meeting for you: just gather your friends, press play, and discuss.^1
Built by a nonprofit team of cross-cultural disciple makers and tech enthusiasts, Waha uses the Discovery Bible Study (DBS) format — a proven method where participants discover God's Word together through open-ended questions rather than a lecture.^2 The app walks groups through curated lesson sets covering everything from Creation to Christ, marriage, and becoming a Jesus community. Every lesson includes Scripture, audio narration, and discussion prompts so anyone can lead — no seminary degree required.^1
Waha also includes a full nine-week Disciple Making Course that trains believers to cast vision and multiply disciple-making groups of their own.^3 The latest release, Waha 7, introduced Micro Lessons — short, interactive, solo lessons for personal faith growth — alongside a redesigned onboarding experience.^4 A built-in Notes feature lets groups record commitments and follow through together, and the app also supports landscape mode for tablet users. Waha is also accessible via a web app at web.waha.app.^1
