The Home and Family tabs

Home is your daily front porch: a little of everything, fresh each morning. Family is where parents follow along with their kids.

Step 1

Home starts your day with one good question

The Home tab greets you with the Question of the day — a real scenario to think through before revealing a strong answer — and your Bible reading for the day, with a streak to keep you honest.

Step 2

It keeps what you learn from slipping away

Home also resurfaces your ongoing work: classes you're in, the Weekly Challenge, and Due for review — a two-minute recall of questions from your past debates, spaced so you keep them.

Anything you left mid-stream (a debate, a training, a class) shows up here as a continue card.

Step 4

Follow each child without hovering

Each child gets a profile card: their streak, classes done, debates finished, and their learning track. A quiet week shows up too — that's your cue for a conversation, not a lecture.

Tonight's conversation hands you dinner-table prompts drawn from what they actually worked on this week.

Good afternoon, Sam.

Step 5

When your kids have questions, they come to you

Questions your kids ask in The Why: Youth can flow to your Home tab under Your kids want to talk — so the app starts the conversation, and you finish it.

If a child shares something that needs your attention, a banner makes sure you see it first.
