Berea is in open beta
The Bible app that follows along with the sermon is now open to testers on TestFlight — free, no waitlist, and no account to create.
Read the post01
It finds the passage before you can.
One tap when the preaching begins. Berea recognises what is being read, whether the reference is announced or buried in a sentence, and turns the reader to it in time with the message. Your eyes stay on the page instead of a search field.
- Catches quotations, not just chapter-and-verse
- Runs on the phone, so a basement chapel with no signal is fine
- Quiet by design — nothing flashes or buzzes mid-sermon
| What the preacher says | What Berea does |
|---|---|
| “Turn with me to the eighth chapter of Romans” | Opens Romans 8 |
| Quotes the verse without naming it | Matches the wording, opens it anyway |
| Quotes the King James while you read WEB | Recognises the older phrasing |
| Alludes to a passage in passing | Lists it so you can decide |
| Preaches for fifty minutes | Keeps every reference in order |

Sunday, still legible on Thursday.
When the service ends, the message becomes a document you would actually re-read: a transcript set in sections, the big idea, the main points, every passage cited, and questions to carry into the week. Berea titles it and attributes it for you.
- References sit inline, marked, exactly where they were said
- Key points, application questions, and a recall quiz
- Export as PDF or Markdown for the small group

Pastor James Okonkwo · Sunday
- The verdict has already been given
- Law could not do what the Spirit does
- Living as people no longer condemned

Ask about what your own pastor said.
The study companion is grounded in the sermons you have actually sat under. Ask how your church has taught on suffering, or what was said about Romans last month, and it answers from your own library rather than the open internet — quoting the preacher from the transcript, never from memory.
- Search by topic, speaker, or passage
- Runs on-device with Apple Intelligence
- It sends you back to the preaching and the text, not away from them
You ask
What has our church taught about suffering this year?
Answered from your library
Three messages touched it directly. In “No Condemnation” the point was that suffering is no longer evidence of a verdict against you — Romans 8:1 was the anchor.

A reader worth staying in.
Poetry set as poetry, the words of Jesus in red, section headings where the translators put them. Choose your typeface and your paper, then mark what matters in five inks and three pen styles. Notes and bookmarks sit beside the text, and all of it works with the phone in airplane mode.
- Georgia, Gentium, or Lexend — on light, sepia, or dark paper
- Highlight, underline, or box, in five inks tuned to each paper
- Notes, bookmarks, reading plans, and shareable verse cards
