Here are the six huge value points Christians love about this platform: Exclusive biblical resources, free speech for Christians, topic based groups, weekly Courageous Parenting podcast Q&A’s, helpful and safe community, and it supports the 10 million legacies movement. It takes more intentionality and courage for marriages to thrive and to equip confident Christian children during unprecedented times. While Isaac and Angie Tolpin are active here, the value of this resource goes far beyond them. Let's face it, it’s not comfortable to communicate biblically on big-tech platforms and ask the questions we really need answers to, while also helping others with biblically based wisdom and encouragement. Finally, there’s a place where we can authentically grow stronger together and encourage one another! Exclusive biblically based resources to help you and your family; there’s an ongoing commitment to add resources only found in this app produced by becourageousministry.org. This already includes both the “Courageous Marriage” and “Redeeming Childbirth” video series, the podcast Q&A where the Tolpins answer your questions from that weeks Courageous Parenting podcast episode, the Courageous Kids podcast, LIVE’s and so much more! Get app notifications, so you never miss LIVE’s and valuable content. All content is also recorded to build resource libraries you have access to. There’s a main feed that everyone is a part of, however you can join topic based groups and those posts will be added to your main feed, but you can also go into the various groups too. Groups include: marriage, parenting, homeschooling, pregnancy/birth/postpartum, homesteading, book club, courageous mom, and resolute man. Pricing Information: Accessing this app requires a monthly subscription of $8.99.
