The purpose of this prayer guide is to get to the core of what schemes the enemy often uses to try to “take out” our sent one. These may not be a constant threat, but they definitely are being used against our sent one at some point. If we as senders pray for our sent ones so that the enemy no longer uses these schemes against them; we believe that this would “free” them up for a more powerful ministry. It is hard to deflect the schemes of the enemy and advance (although by the grace of God- they are!). But how much easier the advance if there are not flaming arrows coming at you!?! Let us be the shields for our sent ones. This guide is meant to be used more than once. In the app, the 40 days automatically recycle so you can pray over them again. These are struggles that will continue to need to be fought against. The suggestion is to go through the guide once completely and then as you continue to pray for our sent one look at the table of contents below and ask the Lord which topic they really need prayer for right then. Or if you prefer, just keep going through it! Thank you for your partnership in the advancement of the gospel!

Disciple your children little by little. Discipling children isn't a single talk, a curriculum, or a crisis to survive. It happens little by little — in everyday conversations, gentle corrections, bedtime prayers, sibling squabbles, big questions, and the quiet shaping of your own heart along the way. Ask D.D. is a Christian parenting companion for the whole journey of discipling your children. She walks with you through the ordinary, sacred work of raising kids who love Jesus — helping you respond with wisdom in the moment, get on the same page as parents, follow each child's long-term growth, and build rhythms that keep your family rooted in Christ. You are your child's first discipler. Ask D.D. helps you take the next faithful step. DISCIPLE IN THE MOMENT When a hard question, a meltdown, a discipline decision, or a spiritual conversation comes up, D.D. helps you respond with calm, practical wisdom, Scripture, and prayer — tuned to your child's developmental stage. PARENT FROM THE SAME PAGE Think through parenting and discipleship together. Share conversations, align as spouses and caregivers, and disciple each child from a common family context. WALK THE JOURNEY OVER TIME Your child's questions, milestones, struggles, and spiritual seasons become part of a long-term discipleship path — not a string of disconnected moments. ABIDE AS YOU LEAD Simple prayer rhythms help you parent from communion with Christ instead of pressure or performance. Discipling a child begins with a parent who is being formed. Grace-filled, never anxious. No judgment, no noise — just a steady, encouraging voice that points you toward connection and toward Christ. And toward your own pastor and church community, never away from them. Parenting will stretch you. You don't have to disciple your children alone. Ask D.D. Family Membership unlocks full access.
