2. Spotify

Surprised? Streaming's favorite green is also great for Listen and Read the Bible—yes, it displays the lyrics along with the audio on many tracks!

Advantages: complete collections in Portuguese and English, listening plans (Genesis → Revelation), devotional podcasts and themed playlists (psalms for sleeping, motivational proverbs).
Availability: Android, iOS, smart-TV, web player and desktop. The free version has ads, but nothing that gets in the way of binge-watching episodes.

Ninja tip: save chapters to “Your Library” to listen to offline even without Premium.

3. Apple Music

If you live in the Apple ecosystem, Apple Music delivers crystal-clear narration and syncs everything via iCloud.

Advantages: spatial audio in some translations, option to speed up/slow down speech, letters scrolling on the screen (ideal for “reading while listening”), automatic integration with Shortcuts – create a command “Hey Siri, play John 3”.
Availability: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Apple TV and CarPlay.

The 1-month trial is free; after that, you have to pay, but many operators offer a subscription included. Even so, it's worth trying out the top quality recordings.

4. Google Podcasts

Minimalist and lightweight, Google Podcasts is perfect for those who just want to press play and focus on the message.

Advantages: episodes organized by Bible book, history that syncs between devices and speed control up to 3x for quick reviews. No frills, just content.
Availability: Android, iOS and web. Free, no paywall, and unlimited downloads for offline listening.

Combine with the “Read full below” feature on Chrome Mobile and have the text in the same tab – faith productivity!

5. Amazon Music

In addition to gospel playlists, Amazon Music offers complete audio Bible reading projects, narrated by well-known voices.

Advantages: simplified “car” mode, integrated Alexa (“Alexa, read Romans 8”), and internal equalizer to adapt to Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
Availability: Android, iOS, Echo Devices, Fire TV, and web. The Free tier has ads, but Bible audios play smoothly.

If you already have a Prime subscription, you get an extra bonus: you can download and listen without the internet. Ideal for trips or retreats where 4G is not available.
