Bible study you can just listen to. Whether you're finding your way back to Scripture or preparing for this week's Bible study, Rebind brings trusted Christian teaching into your everyday life. Build a study around what you're reading, follow the seasons of the church year, and ask questions along the way. Listen on a walk, on your commute, or at home. Follow the words as you listen, or read at your own pace. BUILD A STUDY Bring what you're already studying. Tell Raia a book of the Bible, a passage, a theme or a question in a sentence, choose how many days, and Raia drafts a study from Rebind's library. Close the app while it drafts; Rebind lets you know when it's ready. Every day shows its passage, its teacher and the book it comes from, with the teachers you haven't heard yet marked as new to you. Change a day's teacher, move it, or remove it; try other teachers across the whole study; add an episode Raia found along the way. When it reads right, start it. Working through Romans with your group? Exploring forgiveness on your own? Build a study you can listen to whenever you have a few minutes. Hear how Christian teachers illuminate the text, explore its context, and bring more to your next conversation. You can also choose a ready-made study and follow it a day at a time, with your place kept. SEASONS OF THE CHURCH Want a place to begin or a simple way to return? Open Today for the day's Scripture, a psalm, and an audio episode drawing on a trusted teacher's work. Follow the church year from Advent through Easter, Pentecost and beyond. Let the day give you a starting point, then explore as far as you like. Come back whenever it fits. There's no streak to keep. ASK Your questions belong here. Tap Ask to talk with Raia, Rebind's study companion, about what you're reading or what you've always wondered, and get answers that quote trusted Christian teachers, with every source named. What does this verse mean? Who were the Samaritans? What does forgiveness ask of us? Explore historical context, the meaning of biblical words, and questions of faith and everyday life, with answers drawn from real scholars' work. Raia draws on Rebind's library of 1,000 curated, licensed books by over 600 Christian scholars and teachers. When Raia quotes a teacher, you see the author and the book, so you can follow the answer back to its source. 1,000 BOOKS. TRUSTED CHRISTIAN TEACHERS. Go deeper with N. T. Wright, Walter Brueggemann, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, William Barclay, Barbara Brown Taylor, Henri Nouwen and many more.
