You see your people on Sunday. The heavy stuff doesn’t wait for Sunday. Box of feels is somewhere for them to name what they’re carrying, bring it to God, and work through it during the week, and it’s free.
Dave BoltI’m a community chaplain, and I’ve sat with a lot of people who were carrying more than they could say. Most of us box things up so we can keep going. The boxes pile up, and one small thing sets them all off.
Box of feels helps people notice the boxes, name what’s in them, and open them on purpose, one at a time. It’s free, there are no ads, and nobody is watching it. Their boxes stay on their own phone.
There’s a Bible look built in. Name a feeling and a verse comes up for it. Instead of burning a box, you can hand it to God.
A three-minute tour that follows one box all the way: catching it, naming what’s in it, working it through on the conveyor, and putting it on the bookshelf.
Each one about a minute, on a real phone.
Three things the church has always done, already in the app.
Parchment, burgundy and gold, with faith words on every room. The dock becomes the altar, the basement becomes the wilderness, and the incinerator becomes the mercy seat.
“Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.”
A free tool you can point people to from the front, so what they hear on Sunday has somewhere to go during the week.
Emotions and faith over four or five weeks, with the app as the take-home. I’m happy to come and speak for one of them.
A short course for home groups: name it, put it down, keep going. Each week has something to try before the next.
Teen mode, with straight talk and real-life quests that get them off the phone. A great night for a youth leader to run.
When someone comes to you with something heavy, they leave with a way to keep working on it until you see them next.
Pastors carry everyone else’s boxes. Use it for your own. The leader health check is a good place to start.
Have a play first, then let’s find an hour. Bring the hardest questions your people are asking.
