Wow Barbara.. great idea! Did you come up with this idea and have it developed or did you find it from someone else?
It was my idea – I’ve been using questions like these with my local Bible studies for a long time. They really help to change desires, as do the Bible verses obviously. I had it programmed by my oldest son who is an iPhone app programmer.
Wow… sounds great. I’ve been considering a couple of Iphone apps… would you mind putting me in touch with your son to see if what I’m thinking is #1 – doable, and #2 – affordable? Thanks! You can send to my email if you still have it.
Hi Barb,
The application concept is great. I am sure it would really help deal with the many questions that plague ones’ mind. Have you considered to do an android version of the application as well? I love it. Great work Barb. God bless you.
I probably won’t unless I get a sudden influx of money as they’re so expensive to make – but I’d be happy to e-mail you the questions if you’d like. Just click on the “About” tab to find my e-mail address and e-mail me with your e-mail and I’ll send them to you.
Thanks so much. I will do that.
I love this app but would love see two more emotions added to it : grief and fear. I love your thought provoking questions and sure could use them with these two emotions that are threatening to overwhelm me this morning.
Having the app on phone is just such a blessing, and thank you for making it accessible to Android users. So many only make their stuff available to apple products.
Again, the app is a blessing to this struggling food addict beyond words to express.
I’m so glad it’s helpful, Red. I’ve actually made some grief questions but have never posted them – I’ll try to find them (not sure where they are) and put them in a blog post. The thing with grief is that it’s not one of those emotions that the Bible tells us to let go of – because of that my questions were more focused on what we’re doing to cope with grief rather than taking off lies – you might try the discontentment questions and see if they help. For fear, I couldn’t really tell a difference between worry and fear so I just had worry. I do have fear of failure and also fear of condemnation questions and Bible verses in my new book, The Renewing of the Mind Project. Also, thanks for your comment – I love suggestions. If you see something else needed as far as fear goes (something I don’t address in the other questions), please let me know!
Would you please consider making the i deserve a doughnut into a King james authorized version ?
I really love the app but it would be perfect to have it in the bible kjv
thank you also maybe the icon to be a shield not a donught so people look at it not tenped by
Hi Sherry, I was thinking how nice it would be to be able to have the Bible verses in different translations as well as it’s nice to be able to use the one you’re used to. Unfortunately, it’s so expensive to make apps that the cost would be prohibitive since each verse would need to be looked up, typed out, and then coded into a new app. Sorry about that! Also, thanks for your insight on the donut picture – I’ll think about changing that if I ever update the app. Thanks for your input.
Wow!! It’s a great App. and i like this site. What a wonderful job you’re doing. There have many tips on this article, I read carefully and so that there have good suggest. Have you considered to do an android version of the application as well? I love it. Great work Barb. …
Hi Stephanie, There is already an android version available. If you look right below the video at the top of this post, you’ll see the link to it!
Thank you, so much! Am looking forward to seeing results in using this app! I like all the questions, and scriptures, to help me keep it real, about my weight issues. God bless you! ⚘💜💯
God bless you too, Linda! Praying God will use the app for your good!
