Follow a discipleship plan and memorize scripture

Discipleship helps you grow one step at a time. Each plan is a short run of scripture readings with a question to sit with. Work through it at your own pace; your place is kept. Nothing here replaces your church or a spiritual director.

Start a plan

1. Sign in and go to /discipleship.
2. Under Choose a plan (or More plans), open one that interests you.
3. Click Start this plan. You'll see You're in. Start with the first step.

Plans you've started appear under Your plans, with Continue to go back.

Work through the steps

1. Each step names a passage. Read it in your own translation.
2. Think about the question. If you like, write in Your note (private to you, optional) and click Save note.
3. Click Mark complete. Changed your mind? Click Mark as not done.

Use All steps to jump around. Pause plan sets the plan aside with your place kept, and Resume plan picks it up again. Leave plan removes it from your plans; your progress is kept if you start it again.

Set your goals and reminders

On the Discipleship page:

• What you want to grow in: pick Your goals, such as Prayer, Forgiveness or Parenting, and a Reading level. Only you see your goals. Plans that fit your goals then suggests plans.
• Daily practice reminder: off unless you turn it on. Choose a Time, Time zone and whether to get it In the app or By email, and tick the weekly summary if you want one. Click Turn on reminders. You can Pause, Resume or Stop them any time.

Memorize scripture

1. Click Scripture memory on the Discipleship page.
2. In Add a verse, enter the Reference (for example John 3:16), your Translation and the verse as it reads in your translation. Click Add verse. We check that the reference is real; the words are yours and stay private.
3. Verses come back under Ready to practice when they're due. Choose a Practice mode: First letters, Fill in the blanks or Full recall.
4. After each try, answer How did that go? with Again, Hard, Good or Easy. That decides when the verse comes back.
