Stay awhile in scripture. Most Bible apps treat verses as footnotes. Sojourn treats them as places. Bring a question — envy, anxiety, forgiveness, anything — and be answered gently, with every verse a door into the passage itself. Sojourn is completely free. 100% private. No subscription, no ads, no account. Bring a question, a topic, or just curiosity. Sojourn's AI meets you there, listens, and surfaces the passages worth sitting with. It opens the conversation. You decide where it goes. Every verse it cites is a live link. Tap one to see it in context. Go deeper and the passage becomes a place you've been, waiting in your trail when you return. Ask a question inside a passage and it flows back into your conversation, marked with where it came from. Nothing you wonder about gets stranded. EXPLORE Every citation is a door, not a footnote. Open a verse, read the words around it, and step into the whole chapter with one gesture. CONVERSE One thread that follows you. Questions belong to your topic, not to wherever you happened to ask them. RETURN A place, not a ping. Your trail is always waiting, exactly where you left off. All scripture comes from the World English Bible, a trusted public-domain translation. The AI is the way in, never the source of the text. It points you to scripture; it never writes it for you. No notifications. No streaks. No badges. You come back because you want to. Sojourn is a quiet place to read, ask, and stay awhile.
