Ten Honest Minutes: Introducing Compass Apps
Be honest with me for a moment. When did you last open the Bible during a working day — not before work, not after work, but during it, right in the middle of the meeting you were dreading or the decision you couldn't quite make?
For most of us in business, the answer is “hardly ever.” Not because we don't want to. Because nobody has ever handed us something short enough, honest enough, and practical enough to actually use between calls.
That's exactly the gap Compass Apps was built to fill.
What Compass Apps actually is
Compass Apps is a small family of Bible-based tools for Christians in business — built by Compass, for the messy, pressured, wonderful reality of running or working in a company. No jargon, no thirty-page workbooks, no “just have more faith.” Just Scripture, a real business question, and ten honest minutes.
The first part of the family is now live: Personal Devotions — twelve separate devotional series, each one a focused journey through a single part of business life. Money. Leadership. Strategy. Hiring and firing. Hard seasons when cash won't come in. Character, when nobody's watching.
You don't buy the whole set and feel obliged to work through it in order. You pick the one that speaks to where you are right now, work through it at your own pace — roughly ten minutes a day — and come back for the next one whenever you're ready for it. Each series costs €2.95.
A taste of what's inside
A few of the twelve, to give you the flavour:
When the Stream Runs Dry — for the weeks when cash flow tightens and provision seems to have dried up. Nine honest questions, and the slow, real freedom of learning to trust God in the drought rather than just gritting your teeth through it.
Leading Like Jesus — servant leadership stripped of the buzzwords: humility, courage, wisdom, and a genuine commitment to the people you lead flourishing, not just performing.
Bribery and Extortion — a subject most devotionals politely avoid. This one helps you tell a bribe apart from a legitimate gift, and extortion apart from bribery, using two real business stories of people who stood firm.
Discovering Your Strategy — the ICHTHUS model, pictured as a living fish: vision, values, vitality, resources, momentum, capability, and marketplace, walked through one session at a time.
Ownership — on career, business, and assets, and the surprising freedom of discovering that none of it was ever really yours to begin with.
Twelve doors in, each one built the same honest way: a real dilemma to start, a Scripture passage that actually speaks to it, a business insight that doesn't dodge the hard bits, and a question that asks what you're going to do about it — not just what you think about it.
Why ten minutes, and why now?
We built these to fit into a working day, not to compete with it. Ten minutes is short enough that “I don't have time” stops being a real excuse, and long enough to sit with a question honestly rather than skim past it. That's deliberate. The aim was never to add another guilt-inducing habit to your morning. It was to give you somewhere to bring the actual pressures of Monday, and let Scripture meet you there.
Because here's the conviction underneath all twelve series, and underneath Compass itself:
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men. Colossians 3:23 (ESV)
Your work isn't a separate compartment from your faith, something to be squeezed around it. It's one of the main places you actually get to live it out. Compass Apps exists to help that connection feel less like a theory and more like something you do, ten minutes at a time.
Getting started
Head over to Compass Apps and browse all twelve Personal Devotions. Pick whichever one meets you where you are today — a decision you're wrestling with, a season that's stretching you, a character question you'd rather not look at too closely. Buy it for €2.95, and start whenever you're ready.
And keep an eye out: Team Discussions, a set of group Bible studies for leadership teams covering Finance, Sales & Marketing, and HR, is on its way. If you'd like to know the day it launches, drop us a line and we'll tell you first.
Ten minutes. One honest question. A Bible passage that actually applies. That's all it takes to start.
