I’m new to the Bible. Where should I start?

You don’t have to understand everything before you begin.

We recommend starting with the Gospel of Luke, where you’ll meet Jesus and see how He teaches, loves, heals and cares for people. Start with just a few minutes. Ask God to help you know Him—and keep coming back.

Five minutes is enough to begin.

What can I do with the her.BIBLE app?

The app makes it easy to bring Scripture into your everyday life. Pick up where you left off, choose specific verses, save and highlight passages that speak to you, and adjust the playback speed and sound.

The goal isn’t a perfect Bible routine. It’s simply making it easier to return to God’s Word.

What if I have trouble concentrating when I read the Bible?

You’re not alone. Sometimes listening gives you a fresh way to engage with Scripture.

Try listening while following along in your Bible, taking a walk or sitting somewhere quiet. Start with one chapter—or even a few verses—and give yourself permission to begin small.

You don’t have to do it perfectly. Just keep coming back to God’s Word.

Can I listen while I’m driving, walking or going about my day?

Absolutely. That’s one of the things we love most about audio Scripture.

Listen while you drive, exercise, fold laundry, get ready for work or simply sit quietly with God. His Word can meet you right in the middle of the life you’re already living.
