Students lose paper handouts but never lose their phones. Here is how to share your youth group lesson as a short phone page they can open, keep and come back to.

Cards

Short answer: put the lesson's passage, big idea, three discussion questions and one challenge for the week on a phone page. Share the QR code at the start and send the link in the group chat after.

Students already live on their phones. A lesson handout that opens there gets read more than a sheet of paper.

What to include

  1. The passage, written out.
  2. The big idea in one sentence.
  3. Three discussion questions.
  4. One challenge for the week.
  5. Any event or trip details.

Keep it short

Students will read five short cards. They will not read a page of text. One idea per card, and plain words.

Build it in Epyst

  1. Create a deck for the lesson.
  2. Add a Scripture card for the passage and text cards for the rest.
  3. Publish and show the QR code at the start of youth group.
  4. Send the link in your students' group chat after the meeting.

Students who use the Epyst app can keep private notes on the lesson. Leaders never see them.

Loop in parents

Send parents the same link. They see what their students heard and can ask about it at home. Making and sharing decks is free, so you can make your first deck free.

Common questions

Will students read a handout on their phones?

They are more likely to open a link on a phone than to keep a printed sheet. Keep it short and send it the same day.

Can students take private notes?

Yes. Students who use the Epyst app can keep private notes on the deck. Leaders never see them.

Do students need an account to read?

No. The lesson opens in any browser from the link or QR code.
