Sojourn Notes & readings

Notes

Explore the Bible like Wikipedia

Written by a human, without any AI assistance.

I really enjoy learning about a topic through Wikipedia because of how easy it is to dig into subtopics of my choosing. Often times it winds up being subtopics I never knew existed. I have always thought about reading Wikipedia as following branches on a tree. A large reason why it works is because Wikipedia links off to other topics in Wikipedia.

I pondered, what if we could do the same for the Bible? Scripture is full of cross references, prophecies and stories which connect each other to paint a fuller picture than any single verse or chapter.

The Sojourn experience really does feel like scripture unfolds around you. Every action is meant to be lightweight. When you tap on a scripture reference, we call that a peek. You choose if you want to keep reading. From there you can tap into an insight, read the entire chapter, chat about the verse or put it into action. A menu of options as lightweight as the peek.

As you explore scripture, Sojourn lays breadcrumbs which make up your trail. Your trail follows you back to the main chat when you decide to return to it. Your entire journey follows you so that every detour you took is just a scroll (up) away.

I recently used Sojourn to understand why I was feeling envious despite things going well for me. Sojourn helped me embark on a journey towards humility. It was the destination I didn’t know I needed to arrive at.
