About

DiscipleDeck

Features
Read full description

DiscipleDeck is a Bible study companion. Not a library you browse — someone to study with. STUDY WITH SOMEONE Ask about any passage in your own words. Answers are drawn from Matthew Henry's commentary on every chapter of the Bible and more than 600 classic sermons, and they say which source they came from. When there's nothing in the library on your question, it says so rather than guessing. TYPE A REFERENCE, READ IT John 3:16, Rom 8:28-30, Ps 23. Straight back, no searching. Or describe what you half-remember — "the verse about the mustard seed" — and find it that way. BRING YOUR OWN MATERIAL Photograph a sermon note and it becomes text you can keep and study from. The photo is read on your own phone and never uploaded. Every scripture reference in it becomes somewhere to go. PREPARING TO TEACH Work through a passage one question at a time: what it's about, your big idea, the structure, where it lands. It won't write the sermon for you — it helps you find what you see in the text. READ THE BIBLE The full text offline, with commentary on every chapter, cross-references and topics. DAILY READINGS A devotional each day, and reading plans to follow. New to the Bible? Start with an orientation to what it is and where to begin, before anyone hands you a passage. READ TOGETHER Two to five people who already know each other, reading the same thing. You see whether the others showed up — never what they wrote. No feeds, no likes, no follower counts. SPEAK AND LISTEN Talk instead of typing. Dictation runs on your own device — your audio is never uploaded, only the words you decide to keep. Listen instead of reading, with lock-screen controls for the commute. YOUR NOTES Write as you read. Every scripture reference in a note links straight back to the text, a note can be read aloud to you, and you can share one with someone if you want to. Free to use.
