Study Circles explained

Small private groups for peer review before you go public.

Study Circles are small, private groups (up to 50 members) for discussing your findings before they go public. Think of them as optional peer review — a trusted space to get feedback first.

Circles are never required. You can always publish straight to the Rooftop. Circles simply give you a smaller room to think out loud in first.

Create or join

1
Open Circles and choose Create a circle, or browse public circles to join.
2
Give your circle a name and description, and decide whether it's public or invite-only.
3
Invite members with a share link. Roles include owner, moderator, and member.

Share and discuss

From a reflection or sermon, choose Share with Circle. Your circle can read and comment on it privately.

"Suggest Publishing"

If your circle thinks a piece is ready for the world, any member can suggest publishing it. You'll be notified — but the decision is always yours. The author alone controls publication.
