How do I use The Word Go Project?
The Word Go Project is designed to give you a variety of ways to "experience" the Word of God. The content is divided into "Seasons" and "Episodes", with one Episode available at a time. That Episode is available on mobile and desktop Web browsers in several formats.
Have 20 minutes to spare? Try the Full Experience! This is the way we recommend that you experience each episode the first time you listen to it. This version will be less than twenty minutes long, and will contain both the spoken Words and the Songs. In this experience, the Songs are intercut with the Words, so you can hear all of the materials in one sitting.
Only have 10 minutes? Check out the Words Only or Songs Only experience! Words Only contains the spoken Words version of the content. Typically it is seven or eight minutes long. The songs are used as a music bed behind the Words, so if you listen to this experience a few times and then listen to the Songs experience, the music will tie the two together for you, enhancing your understanding of both! Songs Only contains all three Songs, about nine or ten minutes' worth, played one after the other, with no speech to distract from the music. But remember - the Songs cover the same ground as the Words, so you are still learning as you listen!
Prefer reading to listening? Want to review the experience at your own page? The Read Words experience is for you! It contains the full text of the Words and Songs, for people who enjoy reading more than just listening, or who would like to read along.
Each Episode of The Word Go Project is available for a limited time - typically several weeks. Our recommendation is that you listen to one or more of the experiences at least several times a week. This allows you to absorb as much of the information as possible (it's too much to take in at one sitting!) and to learn and retain it by repetition. All experiences are ad-free, and available 24 hours a day. Please enjoy, and please let us know how the Word of God impacts your life via The Word Go Project!

Why should I use The Word Go Project?
Learning is a tricky thing. The human mind has two different ways of storing information: short-term
memory and long-term memory. Storing information in short-term memory is fairly easy—an example would be repeating a phone number over and over in your mind while you search for something to write it down on. It's helpful for things you only need to remember for a short time, because after a brief period, that memory is gone.
Storing information in long-term memory takes effort. Even for something as important as teachings from the Word of God, we often don't go the extra mile required to do so. We at The Word Go Project believe that it is worth the effort to put teachings from Scripture into long-term memory! But we also think there is an easier way for you to get truths from the Bible into your long-term memory.
Most every person who was a child in the United States in the 1970s can recite the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution from memory. The reason is a series of animated shorts called "Schoolhouse Rock" which we saw every Saturday morning, and specifically a segment called "The Preamble" which had a catchy jingle with the Preamble word-for-word as its chorus. The reason all of those kids-who-are-now-adults can still recite the Preamble is that repetition is the best way to store things in your long-term memory. Watching that cartoon every Saturday for months on end effortlessly implanted information in our minds that otherwise would have been a painful homework exercise.
Similarly, The Word Go Project is designed to facilitate repetition. Tomorrow in our "How" post we will explain more about how this works; for now just know that our goal is to make it easy for you to learn what the Bible is saying to you! We want to make learning about God's love letter to us, the Bible, as attractive an option as turning on the radio. We hope you enjoy it and make it part of your life!
That said, please attend the local church of your choice. Please make the effort to hear what God is saying to you through your pastor, and do whatever it takes to retain that information. Write it down, buy the CD, discuss the message with your family over lunch, whatever you can. But in between those times at church, use The Word Go Project to bring even more Word with you on the Go!

Why do we call it "The Word Go Project"? Well, it's easy to tell why a project centered around the Word of God would have "Word" in its name. But why "Go"?
- In the 21st century, people lead busy lives. We are always "on the go". We need the Word to "Go" with us!
- Most people carry mobile phones around with them all of the time. Because The Word Go Project is designed to be used on those devices, you can take the Word "to Go"!
- Jesus told his disciples in Mark 16:15. "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." A few sentences later in verse 20, it tells us that "...the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs." Jesus told them to "Go" and then they found that He wanted to "Go" with them!
