What if Bible studies helped friends follow Jesus… and that’s it?
Short Bible studies you pull up on your phone and talk about with friends.
No homework. No workbook. No video to watch first. Completely free.
One passage, clearly explained, a few honest questions, and one thing to try together.
I asked thirty highly respected Christians one question: What helped you grow?
They didn’t name a book or a program. They kept talking about people. A friend who showed up. A mentor who told the truth. Someone who stuck around when things got hard.
It was just a part of Christianity that I never even knew existed, but having someone intentionally care about you and pour into you really exemplified Christianity to me really well.
— MarkAge 20–25
The Bible study is the excuse to get together. The friendship is where God does the work.
As long as you need. Talk about what’s going on in your life.
Read it out loud together. Talk through the questions. Send the text, make the plan, take action.
Read the study once. Pray for your friends. Take a step of faith to follow Jesus.
That’s it. It takes about ten minutes.
Show up and be yourself. That’s the point.
You don’t need to teach. You don’t need extra research. The point is to share life—not notes—together.
If we want people to be real, we have to be real.
Friendships develop over time.
Ten seconds of quiet means people are thinking. That’s good.
Ask questions, and point to the text.
Same thing that makes a good friend.
Listen more than you talk. Admit what you don’t know. Share your own stuff before asking others to share theirs. It works best if the ‘leader’ rotates each meeting.
(This never applies to abuse. Always get help.)
Their presence is enough.
“Thanks for that. [Name], what do you think?”
“How does following Jesus help us grow?”
You can say: “A few of us read a short Bible passage together each week and talk about it. You read the study on your phone. We meet for about an hour. No homework. Want to come?”
Anyone can join anytime you want to add a new friend to the group. That’s the point.
I have so many teens and young adults who ask me what daily devotional they should start with. I’m excited to send them to such an accessible and trustworthy resource.

A short Bible study. In your inbox, every morning.
Read it on your phone over coffee. Text it to a friend. Talk about it when you see each other.
It’s the easiest way to build a habit of following Jesus together.
Same time, same place, every week. The routine matters.
Text each other. Be there for each other. Hang out.
When the group gets too big, start a new one.
Jesus called his disciples friends. He’s inviting you and your friends to be like him.
He calls you his friend, too.
