4 Apps for a More Focused NINE/30

The NINE/30 is quickly approaching, and we want to give you as many tools as we can to help you focus in on who God is and what He wants to do in your life through this time of prayer and fasting. 

YouVersion
Bible Reading
Odds are that you probably have this one already, but there are some features in here that can take your Bible reading to the next level. There are tons of reading plans (we'll recommend a few at the bottom of this section) that are focused towards prayer and fasting, but the options are pretty much endless if you keep digging. There's also an option in the app to do these reading plans with other friends who have the Bible app, which is a great option for accountability and starting conversations around what you're reading.

Our Daily Bread - 30 Days
21 Days of Prayer
Knowing God: Prayer and Fasting

Echo
Prayer
This is a super helpful prayer app where you can write down your prayer requests, set up reminders for those requests, and share with others. This is an awesome option for you to use personally or for your J-Group, family, and friends to connect on the things that you're praying for throughout the NINE/30 and even beyond that. Setting up prayer requests and reminders for yourself is fairly intuitive, though setting up groups is a bit more involved.

Dwell
Bible Listening
This is a super new app with a very specific ​focus - Bible listening. This is a great option for your commute, your workouts, or any free time you want to sit and listen to Scripture. Unlike YouVersion's somewhat robotic voices, Dwell has nailed a passionate, enjoyable reading that pretty much anyone can enjoy listening to. This is a great change of pace from your typical reading.
Currently this is an Apple-only app (sorry Android users) though they will be rolling this out for Android sometime this fall. 

Verses
Bible Memorization
This app is a great way to make Scripture an even bigger part of your life. Verses uses quick memory games to help you familiarize, memorize, and recall your favorite passages. You can use it for personal use or memorize with other friends who have the app.
