10 Favorite Bible Study Apps for Christian Women #biblestudy #bibleapps @thankfulhomemaker
My Favorite Bible Study Apps for Chrisitan Women

My smartphone has made it convenient to read and study God’s Word at home or on the go. My husband and I travel frequently, and I have appreciated the ease of Bible study apps to take my home library with me without packing three extra suitcases ;). 

Below are listed my top used apps to spend time digging into God’s Word. Some of the apps I use daily, others weekly, and some on occasion when the need fits. I’m an IOS user, so I appreciate being able to sync between my iPhone and iPad.

The majority are free, but a few may need to be purchased. Several helpful apps that I didn’t add to the list are my Kindle, Audible, and Podcast apps.

These are some great options to open over a social media app when you find yourself with some downtime. Put your favorites on your home screen so you can access them quickly and easily.

10 Favorite Bible Study Apps:

ESV Bible app

ESV Bible App by Crossway

This is my favorite app to take in God's Word. I did make some in-app purchases so I have the ESV Study Bible and Gospel Transformation Study Bible accessible on the go.

ReadingPlan App for iPhone/iPad

If you are an IOS user this is a wonderful app to customize your faorite reading plan to open in your favorite bible app for daily reading. I use the 5 Day Reading Plan and the app opens in my ESV Bible app to read it.

Dwell Bible App

Dwell Audio Bible App

A lovely way to take in the Scriptures. It has beautiful optional background music and you can choose your voice (Rosie is my personal favorite) and there are several bible versions available.

Blue letter bible app

Blue Letter Bible App

Blue Letter Bible is an app and website that provides you with the tools for in-depth Bible Study. It has a Greek and Hebrew Lexicons, multiple commentaries, dictionaries, cross-references, a Strong's concordance, devotionals and other tools.

Literal Word Mobile App

Simply the Word. The Bible in NASB, free and fully functional offline too. You can read the Word without distraction or search the Hebrew and Greek lexicon or do a quick cross-reference search. This is coming in a strong favorite right under my ESV BIble App. This one is a must download.

Prayer Mate App

PrayerMate Christian Prayer App

I came across this one several years ago and it took me a bit to set-it up and now I can't imagine keeping track of my prayer list without it. I can quickly add prayer requests, utilize the special prayers inside the app and create my own lists and schedules to customize my personal daily prayer list.

Bible Memory App

Bible Memory App

If you want to memorize and hide God's Word in your heart this would be my number one pick. I've tried others and always end up coming back to Bible Memory. You can customize it and set your own schedules up. (Formerly known as Scripture Typer.)

Sermon Audio

Sermon Audio

This has always been my go-to website for online sermons and my church uploads their sermons here so it's super handy. I like the app for portablity and sermons on the go. My downloads queue gets loaded with what I want to listen to next.

Spurgeon's Morning and Evening

Spurgeon Morning and Evening

Charles Spurgeon's most well-read devotional and it's free (I did purchase the ad-free version - I love supporting good resources).

YouVersion Holy Bible App

The Bible App

YouVersion has put out a great resource and one we all use. I appreciate the different translations, audio bible options and mulitple reading plans. You can even read along with a group. It's free and there is no advertising.

Honorable Mentions:

Sharing a few more that have been a blessing and help to me in various seasons of my spiritual walk. 

Truth for Life

Truth for Life

Alistair Begg's ministry is one I'm grateful to have access to from afar. You can access all her sermons and sermon series here along with the morning reading from Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotional.

Ligonier Ministries App

Ligonier Ministries App

All the resources from Ligonier Ministries available at your fingertips. Sermons, conference messages, Renewing Your Mind radio show, blog posts and TableTalk magazine articles.

The Study Bible App by Grace to You

John MacArthur's study notes in the palm of my hand - that's why I have this app. Visit the website for all the insights on this app.

Bible Broadcasting Network

This is my weekly binge listen to Elisabeth Elliot. They are from her Gateway to Joy Radio show. Each week's messages go away so I try to listen in weekly when I can. I use the On Demand feature on the app.

Prayer Prompter App

Prayer Prompter

A Christ-centered app to help you pray God's Word. It's fully customizable but I honestly love the simple way to pray God's Word over various prayer requests.

    Agree with Stephanie, Logos is a great app! I also enjoy Verses. You choose passages or a verse to memorize – a suggested one or one of your choosing. Verses gives you different ways to work on it – Type Out, Reorder, Word Bank, etc. Makes it fun and challenging as I hide God’s word in my heart!

      I’ve never heard of Verses – thank you for sharing Dodie. So fun to find new apps to take in the Word.

    I love the first 5 app, it’s short and sweet with out being shallow. It’s helped me understand what I’m reading in my Bible so much more.

      Jessica I need to check this one out. Love finding new resources. Thank you for sharing xo

    I like the Logos app. They offer a free book every month, so I’ve been able to build up a library of interesting resources that I might not have chosen otherwise.

      Stephanie – so good. I use it on my laptop and honestly forget about the app version. Thank you for sharing.

What do you think of when you hear the word discer What do you think of when you hear the word discernment? The dictionary defines it as making a distinction between good and evil and truth and falsehood. As believers, we all desire to be discerning and wise in our choices. As we mature and grow in our knowledge of the scriptures, the hope is we will use that information to make choices in line with God's will.⁣
⁣
We become discerning people by not just knowing what to think but how to think. Being spiritually discerning is an ability to see the world the way God does. This comes about as we grow and mature spiritually into the likeness of Christ. It is about seeing “All That's Good.”⁣

“Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench i “Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench into our coping mechanisms. It brings us to the end of what we can control and forces us to cry out to God. God doesn’t waste our waiting. He uses it to conform us to the image of his Son.”⁣

As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding mysel As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding myself in a waiting room on the Lord, and it’s been a long one, and I don’t see an end near.  It has reminded me that when I gave myself to Him, I gave up my “right” to be in charge. The reality is we never were in charge anyway; we just came to that understanding when the Lord opened our eyes to His sovereign control over our lives.⁣
⁣
Even though it is a truth I know or we know, how many times do we want to think that somehow we can effect change in our life situations?⁣
⁣
Waiting is hard because there is no guarantee that my waiting will end in this lifetime. One thing I have learned – my waiting has deepened my trust in the Lord and has helped me to develop patience, perseverance, and endurance.⁣
⁣
It’s also given me different eyes to see with compassion others who are in a season of waiting.⁣

Six questions I have written in my Bible that have Six questions I have written in my Bible that have been a help to me over the years may be a help to you, too, to be prayerful and slow to speak. These are helpful questions not just in our friendships but in our marriages and with our children, and truly any of our relationships:⁣
⁣
1. Is this the time to say this?⁣
2. Am I the person to say this?⁣
3. Is it necessary?⁣
4. Is it true?⁣
5. Is it kind?⁣
6. Do I need to say this?⁣

We all know that fostering true biblical friendshi We all know that fostering true biblical friendship isn’t easy – it takes work. Jesus told us in John 16:33 that we’re going to have trouble in this world, and trouble does touch all our lives in various areas, but this includes our friendships too.⁣
⁣
We’ll be hurt; we’ll be the ones hurting others; selfishness is a battle; jealousy and envy raise their ugly heads; we have our fears and insecurities, failed expectations, the damage our tongues do to one another, not appropriating the gospel and these all come from hearts that are still battling sin. ⁣
⁣
So when these threats to our friendship with one another in Christ come up, it shouldn’t surprise us that we have these issues, but what we need to keep at the forefront of our minds is how we respond and deal with them when they do come up. ⁣
⁣
I want to walk us through some of these threats, and this list I’m working with isn’t exhaustive – there are many more threats than what I am addressing today – but these are areas that stood out to me that have been a battle within some of my friendships over the years. Sadly, it is often the sin I’m battling in my heart, and I need to get my thinking, attitudes, and actions lined up with God’s Word.⁣

Listen in to EP 24: Dealing with Our Grumbling & Complaining at the link in my profile @thankfulhomemaker (click on the link under the blue arrows and then this image)
Why does it seem grumbling and complaining is so t Why does it seem grumbling and complaining is so tolerated within our Christianity? Sometimes I think we tolerate it because we don’t always think of it as a sin since it is so commonly practiced among us.⁣
⁣
We grumble about the weather, our government, our churches, our circumstances, and so many other things that truly are trivial in light of eternity.⁣
⁣
Our human nature tends to dwell on the negative more than the positive. Complaining is a spiritual problem and one I hope to tackle today and help guide us in the truth of the Word to spiritually defeat it.⁣
