The Upper Room vs Branches

Join millions of Christians around the world in prayer, reflection, and scripture reading each day. The Upper Room app offers access to two beloved devotional experiences—The Upper Room daily devotional and The Upper Room Disciplines, our year-long lectionary-based devotional. Each subscription can be enjoyed on its own or together in one convenient app. Grow closer to God through daily meditations, scripture readings, prayers, and thoughtful reflections written by believers from around the world. Every day, readers of The Upper Room share in the same story, scripture, and prayer—uniting a global community of faith. And with Disciplines, you can engage the Revised Common Lectionary through weekly themes and daily readings from trusted Christian writers and leaders. With your digital subscriptions, you’ll enjoy: • The Upper Room daily devotional – Daily meditations, prayers, audio recordings, and author insights. • The Upper Room Disciplines – Weekly and daily readings based on the Revised Common Lectionary, plus audio lectio recordings of each week’s Gospel. • Access your devotionals anytime via app, website, or daily email delivery. • Explore author bios, bonus content, and audio reflections to deepen your time with God. Whether you subscribe to one or both devotionals, The Upper Room app helps you stay grounded in prayer and connected to a worldwide community seeking daily life with God.
