FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 20, 2026
The Hidden Word Expands Beyond Launch: Free Mobile Apps, Nearly 50 Reading Plans, and Daily Bible Study for Everyone
thehiddenword.org — Since its initial public release, The Hidden Word has grown from a free WordPress Bible discipleship platform into a full web-and-mobile ministry toolkit. Churches can install the free plugin on their own sites—and anyone can visit thehiddenword.org to learn about the Bible, follow daily studies, and grow in Scripture for free, whether or not a nearby church has The Hidden Word set up yet.
Study free on thehiddenword.org—no local church required
We built thehiddenword.org so visitors are never stuck waiting for a church website to catch up. If there isn’t a congregation near you running Hidden Word Bible Lessons, you can still:
- Read and listen to Scripture in the Bible reader
- Follow guided reading plans and daily Bible studies
- Work through the verse curriculum, memorize, and use study tools
- Explore the gospel presentation and other shareable resources
- Use the free iPhone and Android apps pointed at The Hidden Word hub
When a church near you does install the plugin, you can connect to that congregation’s site through the app directory—and keep the same habits you started on the hub.
Now on the App Store and Google Play
The Hidden Word companion app is available free on:
- Apple App Store (iPhone & iPad): apps.apple.com/us/app/the-hidden-word/id6793653651
- Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thehiddenword.companion
Open the app, choose your church from the network directory, or stay with The Hidden Word on thehiddenword.org. Sign in securely through the website when you’re ready; progress stays with your account—not a separate social network. Core features include Verse of the Day, Bible reading with listen/explain/share, spaced-repetition memorization, lessons (with offline cache), Study Finder, optional pastoral AI Ask, reading plans, and small-group challenges when available.
Nearly 50 guided reading plans
The hub and plugin now offer 49 multi-day reading plans across dozens of topics, written in a consistent Open → Text → Heart → Practice study voice. The library spans:
- Life’s hard places — overwhelm, health, addiction, finances, domestic violence, doubt, loneliness, depression, suffering, and more, with crisis guidance (including 988) where needed
- Faith formation — prayer, identity, forgiveness, discipleship, anger, hope, gratitude, fear, waiting, rest, humility, joy, wisdom, and witness
- Everyday following — love of neighbor, community, peace, contentment, generosity, walking by the Spirit, Scripture hunger, worship, integrity, and conflict
- Seasons & story — Advent, Lent, kids Bible stories, new believer foundations, marriage and parenting, singleness, and a chronological “Big Story” overview of Scripture
- Shareable gospel — Romans Road and other share-ready paths for conversations that don’t require an account
Plans include progress tracking, day-by-day study (verse text, explain, journal), and topic filters on the web and in the app—all available free on thehiddenword.org/reading-plans/.
Discipleship and outreach since launch
Beyond mobile and reading plans, The Hidden Word has added major ministry surfaces since the first release, including:
- Gospel presentation pages with QR, WhatsApp, and SMS sharing, plus optional response and church follow-up
- Testimony builder with public share links when members choose to publish
- Shareable verse image cards from lessons, Bible reading, and Verse of the Day
- Prayer requests for personal use and small-group / cohort walls
- Private journaling on lessons and plan days, with pastoral AI replies and crisis-safe helpline short-circuits when needed
- Liturgical season awareness (Advent through Eastertide) and a Kids mode preference for younger readers
- Faith Formation, Life Season, and Life’s Hard Places topic hubs on thehiddenword.org
