## What is The Way?

The Way helps you grow as a missionary disciple of Jesus Christ — in your prayer, your friendships, and your mission.

Built by FOCUS, The Way brings together the daily rhythm of a Catholic life and the community you're walking with, in one place.

GROW IN PRAYER • Build your own plan of life — Mass, adoration, the rosary, Scripture, the examen, or fully custom practices, each with its own rhythm • A gentle daily check-in gathers the ways you met the Lord today, and ends looking forward with one small intention for tomorrow • Daily Mass reading reflections on your home screen • Intercessory Prayer Mode — pray through your group's requests and your own intentions one at a time • Coming back after time away is a welcome, never a broken streak

WALK WITH YOUR PEOPLE • Keep the people you're investing in close — notes, important dates, and gentle reminders when it's time to reach back out • Share prayer requests with your group and pray for each other with one tap • Group chat with replies, reactions, photos, and pinned messages

LEAD YOUR GROUP • Run Bible studies from custom content or the full FOCUS Equip catalog, or discipleship groups built on Foundations for Discipleship • Live meetings with real-time step sync — your group follows along as you lead • Scheduling, RSVPs, attendance, calendar integration, and shareable invite links • Share study guides, files, links, and notes with your whole group

SHARE YOUR FAITH • A faith-sharing trainer — build your testimony in four simple parts and learn the Gospel in five movements • Practice out loud and get warm, encouraging feedback (recordings are never saved or shared) • Group challenges to put faith into action together

Barnabas is your AI encouragement coach, formed by FOCUS materials, Church documents on evangelization, and Scripture. He knows your rhythm of life and your groups, and offers encouragement that lands personally — while always pointing you to your priest for the guidance that matters most.

The Way is free to use. Anyone can use it to grow in the habits of a missionary disciple.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 4.4.0 — 2026-08-07

Pause a prayer request instead of deleting it — mark one as no longer actively prayed for and it moves to its own section on the group page, ready to pick back up whenever you want
Your own prayer intentions can pause too — a paused intention steps out of Prayer Mode but stays on your list, so you never have to delete something just to stop praying for it right now
Barnabas is now off by default — turn the coach on anytime under Settings → Barnabas Coach
Improvements to the logic that determines which three people get surfaced in the authentic friendship checkin
You can now dismiss recommended commitments at the end of the daily check-in
Optional reminder on the day a commitment is due, showing what you set — turn it on and pick your time under Settings → Notifications → Check-ins
The Sunday weekly recap has been retired
Improvements to the formatting of Responsorial Psalm in the Daily Reflection
Deleting your account now works even if you lead a group — your own data is removed while the group's shared history stays for the members who remain
Rejoin a group you'd left and your original join date comes back with you
Behind the scenes: significant database improvements for reliability and data safety

### 4.3.1 — 2026-07-27
