Ever wish you could walk alongside Jesus during the most pivotal week in history? EasterNow sends real-time notifications to your phone that walk you step-by-step through Passion Week — from the Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday through Easter Morning — right when those events would have unfolded 2,000 years ago.^1
Each notification opens into deeper content: the scripture behind the event, connections to Old Testament prophecy, a topographical map showing where it happened, and analysis tying it all to the Resurrection. It's like having a knowledgeable tour guide in your pocket during Holy Week.^2
The app was born from something beautifully organic. In 1999, Gregory Love — a child sexual abuse attorney and student ministry leader at Christ Chapel Bible Church in Fort Worth, Texas — started texting his small group of high school students through the events of Passion Week. The response was so profound that by 2016, over 15,000 people worldwide were receiving those real-time texts. When texting became unsustainable, Love and his wife Kimberlee Norris turned the experience into an app, brought to you free by their organization MinistrySafe.^3
Why Christians Love It"The daily and time-stamped entries pulled me into the Easter story like never before. What I found most riveting was how empty I felt all day, Saturday. No notification, no verse to read and it made me think of how dark it must've been to accept what they had done to Jesus. Then bright and early, Sunday morning, HE IS RISEN!"^4
"I love the notifications at the correct time. The map showing where Jesus was is very helpful, too. Also nice that it resets each year."^5
"I've taught Bible to high schoolers in a Christian school for many years, and yet this simple app taught me a few new things that have moved me powerfully. We called it our Easter Advent time."^2
