How it works

One path, from the Word to your life.

ODBC is a Bible companion for the life you are building together. Here is how a couple moves through it.

The seven steps

  1. Discover

    Learn something about yourself and each other.

  2. Scripture

    Start with what the Bible actually says.

  3. Understand

    Read it in context.

  4. Love

    See how truth shapes the way you love each other.

  5. Talk

    Have the conversations worth having.

  6. Pray

    Take it to God together.

  7. Apply

    Live what you’re learning.

Scripture says. Your profile helps. You apply.

The order matters.

ODBC starts with Scripture. Your Couple Profile only helps personalize how you understand and apply what the Bible says. It never decides what is right.

Private where it should be. Shared where it matters.

Some things are just yours: your journal, your private prayers and your personal study notes. Other experiences are built for the two of you: your revealed Discover Us results, Our Prayers and Our Journey. ODBC is for a couple who chose to use a Bible companion together.

Discover Us, then Reveal

Each of you answers separately. When you have both finished an area and you are both ready, you Reveal it together.

Safety comes first

Nothing about danger is ever shared automatically. Read how ODBC thinks about safety.

The Couple Profile showing where a couple aligns and differs in qualitative groups, without scores.
Where you align and where you see things differently, counted only as areas explored. A sample couple.

Stages

For dating, dating seriously, engaged and married couples.

Your stage changes the application, not Scripture. ODBC keeps the biblical distinction between dating and marriage in view.

Start with the Word, and take it into the life you are building together.
