Walk With God turns your walk into time in the Word. Pick the chapters you want to hear and the app builds a playlist of Scripture sized to the exact length of your walk — then you go walk, and listen. Dramatized audio plays back-to-back, in the background, with full lock-screen and Apple Watch controls, so it keeps going with your phone in your pocket and your screen off. It's the walking app that's a Bible, and the Bible app that walks. LISTEN WHILE YOU MOVE • Build a walk from any books or chapters — the app sums the audio so you know exactly how long it runs • Dramatized audio Bible, free to listen • Background playback with lock screen and Control Center controls • Pick up right where you left off WALK, TRACKED • Live steps, distance, pace, and your route on a map • Apple Watch workout with heart rate; walks save to the Health app • An evidence-based step goal that meets you where you are and ramps gently (no fake 10,000-step myth) GUIDED PLANS • Read the Bible in a year — in the format that fits you: blended daily, chronological, two-testament, by genre, or a 52-week rhythm • Shorter journeys and seasonal walks • Each day's walk sized to that day's reading, paired with your step goal UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HEAR • A short "listen for" primer before you start • Selah — a two-minute reflection after your walk: a summary, a gentle self-check, and a question to sit with • Study any chapter on its own SEE YOUR JOURNEY • Coverage of the whole Bible, chapter by chapter • Streaks framed by grace, never shame • Stones of Remembrance and Sacred Pilgrimages — walk the real distance of the Road to Emmaus and more • A lamp that stays lit as you keep walking GRACE, NOT GUILT Built on the research that rewarding the comeback beats punishing the lapse. Miss a day and nothing is taken from you — the return is what counts. FREE & PREMIUM All Scripture audio is free. Walk With God Pro unlocks the full library of guided Plans, deeper progress analytics, and Pro extras — it never puts the Bible behind a paywall. Scripture audio courtesy of Faith Comes By Hearing.
