Building a Bible habit shouldn't feel like a chore — but for many Christians, the sheer size of Scripture and the complexity of ancient texts make consistent reading feel out of reach. Through the Word (TTW) meets that exact tension by pairing every chapter of the Bible with a concise audio guide (about 8–10 minutes each) that walks you through the text with clear explanation and real-life application.^1
What makes TTW different from other Bible apps is its radical simplicity. One chapter today, next chapter tomorrow. Bible on your screen, pastor in your headphones. The app organizes all 1,189 chapters into 19 "Journeys" that guide you step-by-step through books, themes, and chronology — so you never feel lost or overwhelmed. Whether you're brand new to Scripture or a lifelong reader hitting the Leviticus wall for the fifth time, TTW's teachers make even the toughest chapters accessible and engaging. With version 4.0, TTW Together lets you walk through any journey, book, or topical plan with a group — bringing accountability and community to your daily reading.^2
Founded by Kris Langham — pastor, former aerospace engineer, math teacher, husband, dad, and grandpa — Through the Word is a nonprofit ministry with one clear calling: equip the world to read the Bible, understand it, apply it, and make it a habit. Kris has been teaching through books of the Bible since 1999, and the TTW team includes missionaries and Bible teachers like Peyton Jones, TeDese Ross, Chase Acuña, Melanie Hurlbut, Sandy Adams, and Skip Heitzig.^3
Why Christians Love Through the Word: "Today we officially completed 1,288 days straight going through each chapter of each book of the Bible… we have truly become a band of brothers. We've seen miraculous answers to prayer… You have been an anchor for us." —JD Hornbacher^2 One new believer shared: "After years of wandering around the faith of my parents and the multiple philosophies of this world, I finally found God… it was at that stage that I discovered Through the Word. This was the first time that I accessed Bible-based content that explained each chapter of each book of the Bible, from the most known stories to the 'boring' name records."^4 Another listener wrote: "TTW has changed my life completely. It made the Bible come alive… Now that I listen before sleeping, I have no trouble keeping the Bible habit."^2 Families use it for homeschool Bible class, small groups rally around it daily, and listeners around the world trust TTW for their daily Bible journey more than four million times every month.^1
TTW is also a YouVersion content partner with sixty plans and more than three million plan subscriptions on the world's largest Bible app, plus a podcast and a web app for browser-based listening.^5
