// 01 · Battle Buddies
No man studies alone
You’re paired with a Battle Buddy at your rank. You both work through the same plan, day by day. Part of every mission is about him: how he’s doing, and how well you know him. When one man falls behind, his buddy knows it. No brother left behind.
// 02 · Daily missions
About 30 minutes a day
Missions run Monday through Saturday. Sunday is rest. Each mission has 3 parts: the reading, questions about you, and questions about your buddy. Only a submitted mission earns XP. Fail a week and you keep your XP and run that week again.
// 03 · Rank
Earn every stripe
Each rank is a campaign: a reading plan that starts with a few verses a day and grows until you’ve read every book of the Bible. Earn XP and levels inside each rank, then move up.
// 04 · Churches & leaderboards
Bring your church
Churches join with a code, and church leaders look after their own men. Leaderboards rank churches by successful missions, and the highest-ranked men inside each church. Men without a church get their own independent leaderboard.
// 05 · Safe for young men
Built for fathers and sons
Teen boys 13 and up can join, and anyone under 18 needs a parent’s approval. Profiles show only a username, rank and church. Report and block are built in.
