Whether you just said yes to Jesus or you've been walking with Him for years, the Following Jesus app puts practical discipleship resources right in your pocket — devotionals, a built-in Bible with a one-year reading plan, worship music, video teachings, and more.^1
Created by pastor and author Samuel Deuth as a companion to his book Following Jesus: 7 Essentials to Following Jesus, the app walks believers through the foundations of the faith: prayer and worship, the Bible, water baptism, the Holy Spirit, church community, sharing your faith, and living for God's purpose.^2 It's designed to be a tool churches can hand to someone the moment they choose to follow Christ — and it's completely free.^1
Deuth wrote the book and built the app out of over 20 years of pastoral ministry. He pastored and taught at a Bible college in Seattle for 15 years before joining the team at Awaken Church in San Diego, where he and his wife Katie serve as campus pastors.^3 His passion is helping churches strengthen their discipleship and assimilation strategies so that new decisions become lasting disciples.
