Start here
New to Boys of Faith Devo? This page walks you through it in a few minutes, so you can start with your group this week.
Your group’s trail
Give your group a trail of their own on the site.
Just your email. Nothing to download or set up
Send your group one link or QR code. They open it once
Students never give a name, email or phone number. Each save code is made for them automatically
Your group walks its own trail in dark green, alongside everyone else on the site
See how many students read each Tue/Thu
1Why this exists
Most students hear the Bible on Sundays but rarely open it on their own. This site gives them a short reading two days a week, so it becomes a habit that lasts.
The bigger hope: every student knows Jesus, owns their faith and can read the Bible on their own.
2How it works in 60 seconds
A new passage opens each morning, with a little context, one question and one thing to try. About 5 minutes
Each week has its own page. Days open on their date, and past weeks stay open for catching up
Students can turn on a free notification at the bottom of any week page. On iPhone they add the site to their Home Screen first
On a phone, the reading opens as a few short cards, ending with a Done for today check-off
A small count of readings in a row, saved only on their phone. Days without a reading don’t break it
A four-year path from freshman to senior year: Known (freshman), Rooted (sophomore), Becoming (junior), Sent (senior)
Why it’s built this way
The site is built so students actually want to open it. Streaks, Scroll view and the patches they earn in Basecamp make it feel familiar on a phone and give them a reason to come back. Each reading adds a little context, simple explanation and one thing to try, so Scripture feels practical. The goal is for students to read the Bible on their own one day.
3Using it with your group
Open with “Who got to Thursday’s reading?” and ask that week’s question out loud
A short nudge in your group chat
Pick one Think question from the week. That’s plenty
Notice who’s keeping up and their streaks. Keep it low pressure, missing a day is normal
