You opened your Bible. Now what?

You know Scripture matters. You've heard verses in church, seen them on Instagram, maybe even highlighted a few. But when life gets hard, when you're anxious at 2am or sitting in a hospital waiting room or trying to forgive someone who hasn't apologized, you're not sure which verse to turn to. Or what to actually do with it.

That's the gap Applied Bible exists to close.

Every piece of content on this site connects what Scripture says to what you're going through. Not commentary for scholars. Not theology for debate. Just plain-English explanations and real ways to apply each verse to your actual life.

How this works

You pick a topic or a verse. We give you three things:

What it means

Plain English. No seminary degree required. We break down the context, the original meaning, and what it's saying to you today.

Why it matters

Real scenarios. Not abstract theology, but the kind of situations you actually face: stress at work, tension in your marriage, fear about the future, grief that won't lift.

What to do with it

Every page ends with something you can try today. Not a 90-day plan. One step. Something you can do before the day is over.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

Psalm 119:105 (KJV)

Our Bible Translations

We use two public domain Bible translations:

  • ✓ KJV (King James Version) is our primary translation. It is the most widely recognized English Bible and has been in the public domain for centuries.
  • ✓ WEB (World English Bible) is our secondary translation. It is a modern English translation that is also in the public domain, making Scripture more accessible without a copyright barrier.
