A short round-up of what has shipped in Jesus Entered The Chat, and what we are building next.
Bible reader with offline support
The full reader is available at /bible on the web and in the app. Chapters you have opened are cached, so a dropped signal on a commute no longer ends your reading. Verses stay linkable and shareable.
Four journaling templates
- SOAP — Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer, with prompts pre-filled.
- Prayer journal — requests and answers, so you can look back at what God has done.
- Gratitude — a short daily list, deliberately low-friction.
- Freeform — a blank page for the days that need one.
Reading plans
Structured plans with day-by-day passages and progress tracking, so "where was I?" stops being the thing that ends a habit.
Daily verse notifications
One verse a day at a time you choose, with the reflection attached. Opt-in, and adjustable or off from settings at any time.
What is next
- More devotional series published here on the blog.
- Deeper study tools around cross-references and word study.
- Small-group features connected to the B-Side Bible Study.
Requests and bug reports go to support@jesusenteredthechat.com — a real person reads them, usually within a business day.
