Why Favor
Why Favor: three ways it helps
“How can I, unless someone explains it to me?”
Acts 8:31
A man reading Isaiah on his own asked that, and begged Philip to come up and sit with him. Philip, “beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus” (Acts 8:35). Most of us have asked the same question. Favor is made for it: every chapter opens itself up as you read, and shows you where it leads.
Understand it
The meaning, built in
Every chapter opens itself up as you read: the original Hebrew and Greek, the setting, the small details that change everything. No study guide needed.
“They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.”
Share it
Your people, beside you
Friends, family, a small group, a whole church. Same chapter, same questions, and everyone's answers revealed when you meet.
“not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another”
See it whole
One story, connected
Sixty-six books that fit together into one promise, made in Genesis and kept in Jesus. You'll see the pieces connect, chapter by chapter.
“Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”
Why the name
The Bible keeps coming back to favor.
From Noah, to Mary, to Jesus himself, it's there. Favor helps you see how the whole story fits together, chapter by chapter.
“But Noah found favor in the LORD’s eyes.”
Genesis 6:8
“Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.”
Luke 1:30
“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”
Luke 2:52
Inside a chapter
A real chapter. Genesis 1.
This is a chapter in Favor: the text first, the Hebrew floating above it, a question every few verses, and a line to Jesus wherever the New Testament draws one. Everything below is taken from the app. Go on, tap things.
Guess first
Then see what almost everyone misses.
Every few verses, one question. Predict what comes next, notice what's hiding in plain sight, or tap a word.
Then the reveal. Your answer saves to your notes on its own, so by the end of the chapter you've written a study without trying.
Predict · after Genesis 1:13
1 of 3
Days 1-3 made spaces: day and night, sky and waters, dry land. What do you think days 4-6 will do?
Tap a guess. There's no wrong answer, only the reveal.
The Hebrew under the English
Words that change how you read.
The key words in each chapter float above the text in the original language. Tap one for how to say it, what it really means and where else it shows up.
No seminary required. Just a tap.
The thread to Jesus
Every chapter points somewhere. Watch it land.
As you read, Favor draws the line from the verse in front of you to the place the New Testament picks it up, across the whole Bible. Only the links the New Testament itself makes. Nothing forced.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word was there in the beginning
In the text, or not?
Some things everyone “knows” aren't there.
Favor flags what's widely taught but not in the Bible, and what's right there that almost nobody notices. Where Christians honestly disagree, it shows the main views and leaves the choice with you. Make the call:
Claim 1
“God rested on day 7 because he was tired.”
Claim 2
“Day 2 is the only day that never gets “it was good”.”
Claim 3
“The sun and moon are never called “sun” or “moon” in Genesis 1.”

Questions
Good questions.
Honest answers, in plain words.
Why is it called Favor?
Because the Bible keeps coming back to it. "Noah found favor in the LORD’s eyes" (Genesis 6:8). Mary was told, "you have found favor with God" (Luke 1:30). And Jesus "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men" (Luke 2:52). Favor helps you see how the whole story fits together, from Genesis to Jesus.
I've never really read the Bible. Is this for me?
Yes. Favor starts at the beginning and explains as it goes. The key Hebrew and Greek words are a tap away, and the questions as you read aren't marked right or wrong: you answer, then see what the text shows.
I've read it for years. Will I actually learn anything?
That's who we write for. Every chapter is built around something most long-time readers have never been shown: a Hebrew word, a pattern, a thread to Jesus, or a tradition that isn't in the text.
What can I read today?
Every chapter from Genesis to Isaiah: 745 chapters across 23 books, each one explained as you read, with its Hebrew words, questions, threads to Jesus and a short check at the end. The rest of the Bible follows book by book, in order, and every new chapter is included.
Is there an app to download?
No download needed. Favor works in the browser on your phone, tablet or computer. On a phone you can add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Which Bible does it use?
The World English Bible, a modern translation in plain English, with the Hebrew and Greek underneath where it matters.
Is it tied to a church or denomination?
No. Favor is non-denominational and works alongside any church. Where Christians honestly disagree, we show the main views and don't pick one. Where something widely taught isn't in the text, we say so, with the verses.
How do groups work?
Start a group and share a six-character code or link. Everyone reads the same chapter during the week and answers the discussion questions privately. When you meet, the leader opens discussion and everyone's answers appear at the same moment.
Can I use it on my own?
Yes. Plenty of people start alone. Every chapter still explains itself as you go, and when you're ready to bring people in, it's one tap.
Does everyone in my group pay?
Yes. It's $10 a month per person, the same for everyone, including groups and churches. There are no tiers and nothing extra to unlock.
Is there a free trial?
No. Instead, everything on this page is taken straight from the app, so you can see exactly what's inside before you join.
