A parent-first Bible app
Awaken Biblical Imagination.
The home was always God's design as the center of faith formation. Awaken equips parents to lead it with confidence, one guided passage at a time, as the primary disciple makers of their children.

Why Awaken exists
Discipleship was never meant to be outsourced.
A gap in parental discipleship
Most parents want to disciple their kids in the faith. Few have a simple, consistent way to actually do it in the middle of an ordinary week.
Biblical illiteracy despite access
This generation has more access to Scripture than any before it, on every phone, in every translation, yet biblical literacy keeps declining.
Discipleship outsourced
Churches and schools have quietly picked up a role God designed for the home. An hour on Sunday was never meant to carry the whole job.
What if discipleship didn't depend on finding the right program, but on empowering the parent God already placed in the home?
The experience
One passage. Six ways in. A few minutes a day.
Awaken guides families through one passage of Scripture at a time, in short segments of 2 to 5 minutes. Progress saves automatically, streaks and scrolls keep kids coming back, and the whole experience is designed first for ages 6 to 12, with a parent alongside.
Watch and Listen
A short, story-driven walk through the passage that pulls kids into the scene.
Read and Text
The passage itself, presented at a level a 6 to 12 year old can actually read.
Game
An interactive challenge that reinforces what they just watched and read.
Truths
The core doctrine of the passage, distilled into a truth kids can carry with them.
Liturgy and Prayer
A short, guided family liturgy and prayer that closes the passage together.
Chapter Recap
A quick review that locks the story in before the next passage begins.
The family rhythm
A rhythm any family can keep.
One passage at a time
Families journey through a book of the Bible, like Jonah, one passage at a time, instead of trying to cover everything at once.
Six short segments
Each passage is broken into six segments of 2 to 5 minutes, so the whole journey fits into a single sitting at the kitchen table.
Parents lead, no prep needed
Built-in prompts and a short family liturgy do the work of lesson planning, so parents can lead with confidence instead of a curriculum guide.
