The Encounter

When we fall out of the rhythm of daily prayer, we feel it. Life gets noisier. We feel scattered. And slowly, we drift from the One who gives us life.

The Encounter is a free Orthodox prayer app that brings the daily prayers of the Church, Scripture readings, saint stories, and sacred hymns together in one peaceful place—so you can stay connected to God throughout your day.

Whether you’re just beginning or longing to go deeper, The Encounter meets you right where you are and helps you build a daily rhythm of prayer that draws you closer to Christ.
