Daily devotionals plus a library and 24/7 streaming of Dr. Charles Stanley's In Touch sermons and teaching.
In Touch Ministries puts nearly five decades of Dr. Charles Stanley's teaching in your pocket, entirely free. At its core is a daily devotion you can both read and listen to each morning, but the app is really a broadcasting hub: streaming TV and radio programs, and a 24/7 Charles Stanley Radio station serving up his messages around the clock. For listeners who grew up on his steady, expository preaching, it is a deep and generous archive with nothing behind a paywall.
The app is thoughtfully practical. Content comes in English and Spanish, you can create a profile to save favorite devotionals, sermons, and Bible readings, and the mix of text, audio, and video means you can read at your desk or listen on a commute. Because it is donor-funded, everything is free, a real strength in a category where the most polished apps increasingly charge a monthly fee. If you want sermon-driven devotion rather than bite-sized inspiration, this delivers.
The honest limitations are focus and finish. This is a single-teacher app built around Dr. Stanley's ministry, so the theological voice is consistent but singular; you won't find the variety of a multi-author devotional. The design feels more functional than modern, community features are essentially absent, and it leans toward listeners who already appreciate his style. But for accessing a trusted teacher's lifetime of work at no cost, few free apps offer this much.
