LifeWay Research asked unchurched Americans how often they wonder about their eternal destiny. The answer should change how every congregation thinks about outreach.
“If I were to die today, do I know for sure that I would go to heaven?”
More than 1 in 3 unchurched Americans wonder about their eternal destiny. 1 in 10 wonder every single day. These aren’t hostile critics — they’re your neighbors, your coworkers, the parents at your kids’ soccer games. They are quietly, privately, asking the most important question a person can ask.
But they’re asking it alone.

The hardest part isn’t curiosity.
It’s the front door.
Modern media has spent two decades telling the unchurched that churches are hypocritical and judgmental. So they wonder — in private. They will not walk into a building they don’t know to ask the questions they’re afraid to voice. Tracts feel cheap. Door-knocking feels invasive. Mail-in courses feel like a museum piece. You Can Know removes the building, the awkwardness, and the social cost — without removing the local church from the picture.
Twelve carefully crafted lessons walk a seeker gently through the evidence for faith and the path to Christ. The seeker chooses how they engage — and when.
Clear, thoughtful narrative text for every lesson. The seeker can sit with it as long as they want.
Professional audio narration of every lesson. Plays during the commute, at the gym, while folding laundry.
A two-host podcast conversation per lesson — for the seeker who learns by overhearing the conversation.




Completely anonymous to start. No account, no email, no awkward conversation. The seeker explores at the speed of their own questions — and decides if and when they want to involve a person.
You Can Know was written from a Churches of Christ perspective. The 12 lessons reflect the convictions and emphases of our fellowship — the gospel presented in a way our congregations recognize as their own.
Independent Christian Churches and other Restoration Movement congregations will find it a natural fit for their evangelism work as well. You’re welcome here.
Every seeker who scans your church’s QR code is connected to your congregation — not to a generic ministry, not to us. When they’re ready for a person, that person is one of yours.
Print it on outreach cards, lawn signs, bulletin inserts, business cards, food-pantry flyers — anywhere your community sees you. One scan, and the seeker has the app.
The app downloads, opens, and silently links that seeker to your congregation. No form. No login. No barrier.
The seeker can explore all 12 steps anonymously, at their own pace, in whichever format works for their life that week. No one is pressuring them.
When the seeker is ready for a real person, they tap a button. Your church gets the request and assigns one of your members as their study Companion.
The Companion has been walking with them through the study and the chat. The first Sunday they walk through your doors, they’re not greeting a stranger.
Every church gets an Admin dashboard. Your minister, elders, or outreach team can see at a glance how the work of evangelism is unfolding in your community.
Spam filters eat real emails. Carriers silently drop SMS messages. The relationship between a seeker and their Companion is too important to lose to an algorithm.
You Can Know includes a private, in-app chat between every Seeker and their assigned Companion. The conversation lives inside the app — stable, reliable, and untouchable by spam filters or carrier rules. The Companion can walk with the Seeker the whole way through.
You Can Know is built to cross language and cultural lines. English is live today. Spanish is in development. Farsi and Arabic follow — deliberately chosen to reach communities where the gospel is hardest to hear.
— Matthew 28:19
The seekers in your community pay nothing. Your members who serve as Companions pay nothing. The fee covers Bible translation licensing, ongoing development, and infrastructure — nothing more.
Everything your church needs to run a modern evangelistic outreach.
Cost shouldn’t decide whether your community gets to hear the gospel. If $49 a month is a barrier for your congregation, please write to us — we’ll work it out together. That’s a promise.
There are plenty of devotional apps. There are plenty of Bible apps. There are plenty of evangelism tracts on the internet. As far as we know, You Can Know is the only app specifically designed to enable a local congregation — and its members — to reach the lost in their own community through the technology those people already carry every day.
It’s the mail-in Bible course, reborn for the smartphone era. The same conviction. The same gospel. A delivery system the modern seeker will actually use.
Email or call us and we’ll have your custom QR code, admin dashboard, and first Companions ready within a few days. No long contracts, no setup fees.
