As of 2015, reports show over 1.5 million apps are available for
download from both Google and Apple. That, my brothers, is a lot of
apps!
Over the last month, I started making my way through those
apps (on the Apple Store) in an effort to find the very best apps
available to men, more specifically Christian men.
I want to be
honest with you, I reviewed nearly 20 different apps, but found that
most hadn't been updated in months or you had to spend too much money in
order to access the content.
With that in mind, ALL of the apps listed below appear to be updated often and are FREE!
Listen,
guys, if you're too busy or if you feel like you simply don't have the
time to maintain your walk with Christ, then I highly suggest you review
the app options listed below, pick at least two and start engaging with
them on a daily basis.
My goal with this post is not only to
expose the best apps available to Christian men, but also to feature the
best part of each app.
I'd encourage you to go through each one and
choose which one you think will suit you best, based on what sets it
apart from the crowd.
I'll let the apps speak for themselves now,
and pray that your walk with Christ and the relationships around you are
re-established or transformed by at least one of the powerful apps
listed below.
Here are the five best apps available for Christian men:
1. Man Up God's Way
Unique feature: The interaction
The
possibilities to meet and interact with other men on this app are
endless. After sign-up, you'll find the Home Screen & Navigation
Screen friendly and easy to use. From there you can dig into the latest
challenge, read the latest resources or post a hurdle. The "Hurdles"
section is a powerful place where you can share your heart anonymously
and get replies from real brothers supporting you and sharing their
advice. Man Up and download it today! (Download Options Here)
2. Giant Slayers
Unique feature: Daily notifications
This
app is unparalleled if you are looking for daily notifications on
Scripture and hard questions every man needs to answer. These
notifications are picked and built just for you after you sign-up and
take a short assessment based on your current spiritual walk. From
there, you can set up "My Tracks." My Tracks offers you multiple choices
from daily or weekly notification plans, and also offers you timed
plans (7-14 days) for specific topics such as pornography and human
trafficking. You pick the Track and you pick the notification times.

3. Uncommon Men
Unique feature: The challenges
Once you sign up for the Uncommon Men app, you'll be immediately
faced with a handful of challenge options. From being a better father or
role model, to offering fun ways to improve your marriage. The "U Can
Lead" challenge was my personal favorite because it impacts every man
who joins the app. This challenge hit me with hard questions such as who
I could count on during an emergency and how to spend some real time
thinking about my purpose in life. Jump on this app today and pick the
challenge that best suits your needs now! Finish it like a man and move
onto the next one! (Download Here)
4. Live Bold
Unique feature: The resources
Get
ready to set up camp, guys! Once you sign up for free, you'll find the
app easy to search and loaded with tons of great resources. Click on the
"Campfire" tab and you'll find the latest video and article
specifically relevant to men. If you're not sure what a Christian man
is, then scroll down the menu where you'll find resources specifically
built to answer your questions about the Christian life. And one of the
best parts of the app is the Daily Kickstart. This is a great way to
start your day off with a quick word of encouragement and Scripture.
Grab some kindling and set up camp today! (Download Here)
5. He Reads Truth
Unique feature: The reading plans
If
you have some extra time before work or are looking to grow a deeper
relationship with Christ, then this is the devotional app you've been
looking for. From the menu, you'll find full access to the Bible and
great-looking Lock Screen images which are perfect for your phone. But
the real power of this app is the reading plans. Once you choose your
plan, you'll engage in a great journey. Each plan offers a tab for
relevant Scriptures, then you'll be challenged with devotional
questions, and at the end you'll have a chance to share your personal
thoughts about the devotional of the day. Download this app and
experience real growth in your faith! (Get more info here, visit your App Store to download)
Guys,
I strongly encourage you to check out these apps this week and download
a few of them. These all contain powerful content that can help you get
back or stay on track in your daily walk in life and in your faith.
No more excuses!
If
you have one of these apps already, please share your thoughts about
it! If you download one and try it, please share your experience with
us!
(Also, please feel free to add a link in the comments to an
app I might have missed. Please make sure the app is up to date and is
meant to serve men.)
