Your Personal Assistant for Relationships Between busy schedules and long days, expressing love can sometimes fall by the wayside. We forget to give gifts “just because,” offer compliments, or linger in our embraces. The things that say “I love you” seem to either not get said or not get through. As a result, our relationships can easily erode and the spark can fade. Love Nudge is a fun, habit-forming app that helps you intentionally express love in ways that are most meaningful to your partner. Designed for real-life connection, Love Nudge takes the concepts of Dr. Gary Chapman’s #1 New York Times best-seller The 5 Love Languages® to the next level. You and your loved one can learn each other’s love languages, exchange encouraging and playful nudges, set and track activity goals, and monitor the levels of each other’s love tanks for better communication and intimacy. It’s like having a personal assistant… for your relationship. The 5 Love Languages® by Dr. Gary Chapman has helped millions of couples strengthen their relationships… one language at a time. For almost two decades, The 5 Love Languages® has stood unrivaled as a top resource for love and relationships. NOTE: Love Nudge relies on a consistent internet connection. If you’re not connected when you launch the app, or if you disconnect while you’re using the app, Love Nudge will not perform as it should.

About

Apprentices

Features
Read full description

Apprentices is for the small group that wants more than a weekly meeting. It gives your group a way to walk one person at a time down past the behavior they keep confessing, to the lie underneath it, and to stay with them while it heals. At each gathering the app runs a guided workshop, and your group handles follow-up and prayer in whatever order suits it. The workshop walks five layers together: Behavior, Emotion, Idol, Gospel Truth, and Commitment. Discernment cards help the group decide when to move deeper, when to stay, and when to step back.
