If you've ever wished your quiet time felt less like a checklist and more like a conversation, the Jesus Calling app might be exactly what you need. Based on Sarah Young's beloved devotional — now with over 50 million copies sold worldwide across more than 35 languages — this app brings her 365-day reflections to your phone with audio narration, journaling tools, and Scripture readings built right in.^1
The devotional is written from the perspective of Jesus speaking directly to you, drawing on Scripture to offer daily words of comfort, encouragement, and peace. Sarah Young, a former missionary who lived in Japan and Australia before settling in Nashville, spent years pouring over her prayer journals before shaping them into what would become one of the bestselling devotionals in Christian publishing history.^2
Premium subscribers get access to Sarah's full devotional library — including Jesus Listens, Jesus Always, and Jesus Today — along with companion audiobooks, exclusive content like the Living Hope devotional, and the quarterly Jesus Calling Magazine. In March 2026, the app added Spanish-language support with eight devotional titles, including Jesús te llama, Jesús escucha, and content for children.^3
