Official Guidelines & Terms of Participation
The 7 Days Closer challenge is a 7-day commitment to consistent Bible reading and reflection. The challenge is completely free — no card required and no subscription.
After signing up, you must complete 3 onboarding questions within 24 hours.
The moment you finish onboarding, your Day 1 passage is sent and your challenge begins. Your reflection is due by midnight that night in your timezone. If you finish setup after 8pm, Day 1 arrives at 8am the next morning instead so you get a full day with it.
Every day for 7 days, your Bible passage arrives via text at 8:00 AM in your timezone (you can choose a later time in My Account). The text links to your passage page, where you read the passage and find that day's reflection question.
Each day, write your reflection on the passage page and press Submit before midnight (11:59 PM) in your timezone.
You get one text a day: the passage (plus one if you miss a day and can still save it). There are no reminder texts, so the deadline is yours to keep. Supporters get one reminder at 7:00 PM in their timezone if the day's reflection is still open. Never more than one.
Your challenge ends if:
Beyond the one save every 30 days, there are no extensions and no exceptions.
Your first 7 days include everything: audio readings, the narrated explainer, up to 25 Passage Q&A questions, and your passage by text. After Day 7, a monthly subscription keeps all of it, plus Passage Q&A (up to 30 questions per month) and a 7pm reminder text on open days. Members who gave before October 26, 2026 keep the audio and Q&A they already unlocked.
If you fail, you can restart for free. The restart follows all the same rules as your original attempt.
Completing all 7 days earns your certificate — and the challenge simply continues. Your daily passage keeps arriving every morning, your streak keeps counting from Day 7, and milestone rewards unlock at 30, 180, and 365 days. After Day 7 there are no hard deadlines: miss a day and your streak resets (members can save one missed day a month), but your membership never ends. Continuing costs nothing; support is optional, and every streak reward is earned by showing up.
