Hey TTW – Pastor Kris back again with news and updates. Here’s what’s going on…

Journals Going Out – & Last Day to Order!
We had a great response to our TTW Journal giveaway in July. In fact, we ran out! So we decided to order another batch and give you just a few more days to order. So here’s what that means: 
  • If you already ordered: We’re putting them in the mail this weekend. 
    • Some orders (made after Aug 6 & some multiple orders) will have to wait a couple weeks until we restock. 
  • If you want to order: The last day to order is TuesdayAugust 10. 

How to order:

  1. Donate any amount at ttw.churchcenter.com/giving
  2. Complete this order form: https://ttw.churchcenter.com/people/forms/150469
Be sure to complete both steps! We can’t send the journal until you complete the form.

New Plans on Faith, Peace & Anxiety!
We just launched the first four plans in a brand new series of topical plans called Bible Basics Explained. We’re kicking it off with plans on Anxiety (parts 1 & 2), Faith, and Peace. These plans have been in the works for a long time now, and I am so excited to finally see them launched! You can find the new plans on the Browse page under “Bible Topics & Extras” (see the screen shot below). 

And there are more BBE plans in the works – on essential topics like forgiveness, the Ten Commandments, science, and more. Part one on the Anxiety plan was a labor of love for me, as I had the opportunity to work together with my young-adult daughter who has wrestled with anxiety issues for most of her life. I was so thankful for the time together as we got to open the Word and talk through our experiences and trials and find God’s love and understanding. The plan walks through Daisy’s favorite Psalm, and in it I share much of what God taught me – through Psalm 139, through my daughter’s trials, and through my own experience with anxiety. I hope that the plan will be an encouragement to you. You can find it on the TTW app (see screenshot) and also on the YouVersion Bible app here: https://bible.com/reading-plans/20472 (the YouVersion plan also comes with the text and follow up questions for discussion).
TTW Android is back! 
TTW is back in the app store again with some essential fixes and upgrades. Recent updates to the Android OS created issues for the TTW app, so we pulled it to make necessary fixes. It’s back now – but if your app still experiences trouble, please let us know at [email protected]. Thanks so much! Get Android here: TTW App in Google Play Store.

And a little more other news…

iPhone App Update = Lots of Player Fixes
We just launched a major update to our iPhone app with a bunch of great fixes and upgrades to the audio player. The Android update is in the works now, so please pray for our programmer Zach as he makes progress there. Here is a list of the upgrades you’ll find:
 – Bluetooth: Works great in your car, on Alexa, etc.
 – Lockscreen Audio Player: Now you can pause, ffwd, etc from your iPhone lock screen
 – Autoplay: Now the autoplay keeps going when your screen is locked or dark.
 – PreAudio: Won’t keep playing repeatedly on the same plan.
 – Get the TTW update in the iPhone App Store
(And while you’re in the app store, please rate and review TTW! Every 5-star rating helps us reach more people – so thanks!)

  1. Hi Kris,
    Love that the Android app works now. I really connect to God's Word when it gets explained in clear terms. I feel like I'm connected to you now thru God. Have a great week!

  2. Hi. My name is Tricia and I have just downloaded your app. I have been following Revelation explained through YouBible app and I liked the way you presented and explained Revelation. I want to learn more.

  3. Just joined!! Very excited to start using this app. Our Pastor challenged us to a media fast, you know the ones where you can't tell the truth from untruths! Anyway, I was searching for something else to look at instead of Facebook 😉 and found TTW…so like Jesus to lead me here!!!

  4. I love what my journal has done to help me remember what God has done in my life so any time I want to worship I have pages upon pages of things to thank and worship him for. Thank you for all the hard work on this product and I am praying for Zach.
