Engaging the Biblical Reading Experience

When we talked about a definition of mobile ministry last week, one of the three observable instances of mobile ministry was described as mobile as moment. Or basically, those experiences of mobile technology which start as personally beneficial to one’s salvation/faith experience, but have the potential to connect to others through direct interactions.

We get an excellent view of this via the folks at YouVersion who have recently posted a story about a woman who was able to use YouVersion to help youth engage with the Bible.

Here, we see some of the fruits of a solid platform: there’s access, accountability, goal-setting, and then the technology comes in to thread the entire experience. It makes for a solid example of what can be done with connected spaces and technologies.

How are you using technology to engage with others’ experiences of living or reading the Bible? Do you see any areas where things can be better for your given audiences?
