The New Testament was written by the oppressed, for the oppressed. Most translations buried that. Welcome to the Liberation & Inclusion Translation — a New Testament translated directly from the Greek by Brandon Vélez Johnson, a therapist and theologian who reads scripture from the perspective of those it was written to liberate. No jargon where the Greek didn't use jargon. No shame where Jesus didn't deal in shame. A God who looks like Jesus, throughout. It's free. It's offline-first. It requires no account. And it's built to be read. THE TRANSLATION — The New Testament, translated with faithfulness to the Greek and the people it speaks to most — Footnotes from the translator, inline as you read — Glossary of the biggest word changes and a guide to the Translation Commitments THE APP — Read entire books in a continuous scroll, not tapping through chapter by chapter — Hide verse & chapter numbers and footnotes to focus on the literature — Share your hot take on a passage with cards hand-rolled for social media — Highlight passages, take notes in the margins, sync both between iPhone and iPad — Easily follow lectionary readings for the upcoming Saturday & select feast days. — Accent color changes with the church calendar, or pick your own Supported by voluntary donations to the Liberating Scripture Collective. Every word stays free, and ad-free.

Read full description

Begin each day with a quiet moment of scripture, reflection, and prayer. Bible Reflection brings you a new daily devotional built around the Gospel — a carefully chosen Bible verse, a thoughtful written reflection, and a closing prayer to carry with you through the day. DAILY REFLECTIONS Each day brings a fresh reflection rooted in scripture. Read at your own pace, save the ones that speak to you, and return to them whenever you need.
