See how it works

Say you search envy.

Here are the four questions that come back, and the passages behind each one.

01

Why is there a disconnect between knowing God provides and still wanting more?

  • 2 Samuel 12:8
  • Psalms 73:13
  • Numbers 11:5
  • Luke 12:15
  • Hebrews 13:5
02

Is it a sin to feel envy, or only to act on it?

  • Genesis 4:7
  • Exodus 20:17
  • Matthew 5:28
  • James 3:14
03

Why does someone else’s good news land like my loss?

  • 1 Samuel 18:8
  • Matthew 20:1–16
  • Luke 15:25–32
  • Romans 12:15
04

What actually loosens its grip?

  • Psalms 73:17
  • Philippians 4:11–13
  • 1 Corinthians 13:4
  • Galatians 6:4

Numbers 11 is Israel missing the fish they used to eat in Egypt. Luke 15 is the older brother standing outside the party. Both are about envy without ever saying the word.

The real text

Sojourn works out which passages answer you. The words come straight from the World English Bible built into the app.

Honest when it’s empty

If a passage doesn’t check out, it gets dropped. So does a question left with too little behind it.

Somewhere to go

Open a question and read your way through its chapters, or talk it over in a thread that starts with an answer.

Try it with whatever is sitting heavy today.

Search sits in Sojourn, beside chat and your church’s sermons.
