The Lifeway On Demand app is designed to provide an intuitive and seamless experience as you engage with your discipleship resources, studies, and events.

All Studies
In the "All Studies" section, you will see all the studies you have acquired or redeemed. Each study is displayed with:

Library Search
The Library now includes a helpful Search option at the top of the screen. As you type, the app will suggest results that match your studies, events, and eBooks. You’ll see titles, authors, and contributors that match your search appear in real-time.
To view full results, press search or tap a suggested search result. From there, you can:
Scroll through a list of matching results
Filter by content type (Study, Event, eBook)
Select any result to jump right in
Search is designed to help you quickly find the content you’re looking for so you can stay focused on the study or event that matters most.
Selecting a Study
You can scroll through your available studies or use the Sort feature (default: “Recent”) to organize them alphabetically (A-Z, Z-A). Once you select a study:
You’ll see all the available sessions.
You can view a session by selecting it, which will open the player at the top of the screen with the first session queued to play.
You also have the option to Download individual sessions for offline viewing.

View the progress bar for each session, showing how far you've progressed.
Select a session to open it in the player.
Remove a study from your device once you no longer need it by selecting the "Remove" option.
While downloading, you can see the progress and choose to Cancel if needed.
eBook Engagement (Beta)

When you select an eBook:

The All Events section is where you can browse Past, Upcoming, and Current Events.
