## What is Eremos?

Most formation apps are built for streaks, not depth. Eremos is a quiet space for disciples who read Scripture seriously, pray with intention, and lead others from a place of formation — not performance.

BIBLE READING

Read the Berean Standard Bible (English) or Thai King James Version (translated by Philip Pope) with flexible formatting, highlight verses in 4 colors, write study notes, look up Greek and Hebrew definitions, explore cross-references, and read translator notes from the Eremos Translation — a fresh translation growing chapter-by-chapter (currently: Mark and Matthew complete, Luke in progress). Share what moves you.

SERMON BUILDER
Walk through a guided discovery process — teach your heart before you teach. Exegete your passage, develop a Big Idea, build key points, and add gospel application. Export polished notes as Markdown or PDF, then present live to a TV via AirPlay with full slide control from your phone.

PRAYER JOURNAL
Write daily prayer entries anchored in Scripture. Track your spiritual mood, reflect on past entries, and see how God has moved over time.

SMALL GROUP STUDY
Lead or join a group session. Members answer questions together, the leader sees all responses in real time, and everyone leaves with a shared record.

DESIGNED FOR THAILAND
The full experience — Bible reading, sermon building, and TV presentation — is available in both Thai and English. Thai leaders can prepare and present entire teachings in their own language.

### 5/5 — Helpful guidance for your time in scripture

I’ve been using this app for a while now.  This app helps me slow down, and really think about what I’m reading and learning.  I would recommend this app to anyone looking for a deeper relationship with God.

### 5/5 — Under the radar bible app

*2026-04-26*

Eremos, a rising underground Bible reading app, helps readers in discipleship and consistency—by helping people be spiritually formed much like the desert fathers of early Christianity. Go rest, step aside, enter the desert mountain, remove distractions, and sit at the feet of Jesus.
