Most formation tools are built for individuals but lack connection to the Church. Companion is different.
It’s delivered through your local church or ministry, shaped by real relationships and pastoral intent. Enabling formation to happen within the Church, not apart from it.
People don’t have a “digital life” and a “real life”, they live integrated lives. And they’re on spiritual journeys that require integrated accompaniment, whether they’re growing in their marriages, seeking healing, deepening prayer, or rediscovering purpose.
Our response to discipleship must meet that reality. Companion walks with people where life happens, offering practical tools that grow spirituality beyond the screen.
“The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs.” - C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Companion bridges pastoral leadership with personal discipleship. Leaders shape the content experience through themes and focus areas, while individuals set personal goals, creating a dynamic and purposeful formation experience.
Companion recommends the right next steps at the right time. It's a multiplier of your ministry that aligns discipleship with your pastoral direction, without adding to your workload.
Companion offers Pathways: structured, outcome-based collections of resources enriched by prompts for action, prayer, and reflection.
Each Pathway is crafted to support you in accompanying your people on their spiritual journeys, helping them grow through action, prayer, and pause-worthy questions that bring faith into everyday life.
Discipleship is personal, and it’s communal. Companion supports pastors and leaders in walking with their people.
People can engage anonymously or share openly in trusted settings like small groups. When leaders can’t be everywhere, Companion helps fill the gap and make presence possible.
Help individuals pursue spiritual growth through personalized formation, guided journeys, and regular engagement, meeting them right where they are in life and faith.
Empower pastors, ministry leaders, and spiritual guides with tools to accompany others and shape formation experiences, while making discipleship scalable and intentional.
Companion also makes it easy to integrate ministry partners and programs to further support your community’s growth.
See how your people are growing, where they’re engaging, and where they may have formation needs. Companion gives you insight into real spiritual movement, not just clicks or views.
It helps you identify what’s working and what’s not across your integrated discipleship efforts, both within Companion and in your broader ministry. With clearer insight, you can lead with greater confidence and pastoral clarity.
Ministries, publishers, and trusted voices from across the Church have come together as a partner community to share content that meets real human and spiritual formation needs.
Use the library as-is, tailor it to your pastoral vision, or add your own content. It’s a flexible, plug-and-play approach designed to equip resource-strapped leaders to respond to the needs of their people without starting from scratch.
The result? A trusted source of formation your people can engage with confidence because it’s delivered by you, even if you didn’t create it all.

Conflict in relationships is rarely about the surface issue—whether it’s chores, schedules, or misunderstandings—but about deeper emotional needs and fears of disconnection.

When each person understands what’s happening inside themselves and their partner, they can begin to communicate more clearly and respond rather than react.
