You trusted Jesus. Now learn to follow Him.
THE WAY is a free discipleship app created to help new Christians learn the Bible, understand the foundations of their faith, build daily spiritual habits, and begin a lifetime of following Christ.
THE WAY
An Outdoor Crusade discipleship resource
What do I do now?
Someone can trust Jesus Christ and still have a lot of questions about what comes next. THE WAY provides a clear biblical place to begin without assuming a new believer already understands Christian terminology or knows how to navigate the Bible.
- ✓Tell someone that you have trusted Jesus Christ.
- ✓Begin talking honestly with God through prayer.
- ✓Start reading the Bible for yourself.
- ✓Find a faithful local church.
- ✓Talk with a pastor about baptism.
- ✓Begin THE WAY one step at a time.
Required Bible Basics Lessons Before Day 1
Before THE WAY asks a new Christian to regularly open Scripture, it teaches the basics of how the Bible works and how to find the passages used throughout the journey.
Bible Basics must be completed in order before Day 1 unlocks.
Learn how to use the Bible before the journey begins.
THE WAY does not want participants to become dependent on an app for their Bible knowledge. Bible Basics prepares them to open Scripture for themselves and continue learning long after the 40-day journey is complete.
- What the Bible is
- One Bible, 66 books

A biblical foundation, one day at a time.
The journey is intentionally sequential. Each day unlocks as the previous day is completed, helping the participant move through a connected introduction to Christian belief and Christian living instead of a collection of unrelated devotionals.
What Happened When I Was Saved?
Grace, sin, the cross, the resurrection, and your new identity in Christ.
Knowing God
God as Creator, His holiness, His love and justice, God as Father, and the Trinity.
Knowing Jesus
Who Jesus is, His sinless life, His teaching, salvation through Christ, and His Lordship.
Understanding Your New Life
Assurance, grace and works, sin after salvation, spiritual growth, and the Holy Spirit.
Walking With God
Prayer, learning to pray, worship, biblical guidance, and what to do with doubts.
Living Like Jesus
Loving God, loving people, forgiveness, temptation, and a growing life of obedience.
You Are Part of the Church
Christian fellowship, choosing a church, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, serving, and giving.
Your Mission Begins
Your testimony, sharing Jesus, perseverance, Christian hope, and lifelong discipleship.
Built to be simple for someone who is just beginning.
The interface stays focused on the next step. Home, the 40-Day Journey, Bible Basics, the private Journal, and the Question Library are easy to reach, while progress, installation, backup, restore, and settings stay available without cluttering the experience.
Every day teaches, applies, and points back to Scripture.
The daily format remains familiar from Day 1 through Day 40 so the participant can focus on learning rather than figuring out a new format each day.
Open Your Bible
Each day begins with a specific passage to find and read in Scripture.
Learn
A clear teaching section explains the day’s biblical truth in understandable language.
Think About It
Reflection questions move the lesson from information toward understanding.
Your Next Step

Journal
