Join a class as a student

Classes are led by a person, not by the app. Your leader sets the pace; the coach supplies the daily material. Here is what joining one looks like from the student side.

Step 1

A code, or the class name

Open Groups & Classes and tap Join. There are two ways in: the 8-character invite code your leader sends you, or a search by name if your leader made the class findable.

If the search comes up empty, check the spelling and ask your leader for the code — that always works.

The Reliability of the Gospels

COACHING

Led by Sam · 12 of 30 seats filled

Six weeks on why the Gospels hold up — genre, eyewitnesses, manuscripts, and the objections you will actually hear.

Join

Confirm your age — classes are for adults 18 and over. The Why: Youth is the version built for kids.

Step 2

See the class before you commit

Type the full code and the class appears: its name, who leads it, and how many seats are taken. A full class says so instead of failing at the last tap.

Classes are for adults 18 and over — you confirm that once. The Why: Youth is the version built for kids.

Step 3

If the class has a seat fee

Some classes carry a seat fee set by the leader. If yours does, you are told the price before anything is charged, and payment happens securely on the web.

Once it completes you are added to the class automatically — no code to re-enter. Churches and schools can also cover seats in bulk, in which case you will never see this at all.

Step 4

What your leader can and cannot see

The welcome sets the terms plainly. Your leader guides the class and can see that you completed a day — they cannot read your debates. Only the debriefs you choose to share become visible.

You can leave a class at any time, and nothing you did in it disappears from your own history.

Step 5

Placement first, then day one

Before the class opens you take a short placement — a real exchange, not a quiz — so the material starts where you actually are rather than where the average student is.

After that it is one prompt a day: coursework to work through, debates to argue, and a summary at the end of the week. Your leader does each day too, and you read their debrief next to your own.
