Send your teen scripture rendered as short casual messages that sound like a friend, not a lecture. One a day, in English.
Teens get a thousand messages a day telling them they're not enough. I wanted them to get one that says they are. That's the whole idea. One text every morning. I get it myself, and I'm not ashamed to say I need it too.
Iain Deckard, FounderAs a mother, I was thrilled to find It's God, Yo! for my daughter. Teenagers have too many apps to remember to use that a daily text delivered every day when she wanted it was exactly what we needed. Her first day, she told me how much she loved the positive message from the DM From Him on top of the Bible verse. Thank you It's God, Yo!
I'm 18 now but started getting It's God, Yo! texts when I was 17. I wish my mom had signed me up sooner. It's really cool how they take a real Bible verse and put it in the words we use. The best surprise was that mom got me the DM From Him also. Sometimes I'm having a hard day and the text always has a positive message framed like it's coming directly from Him to me. This was the best gift ever!
I can't see my granddaughter every day. I worry about her faith and losing focus of what's really important in life. She's under so much pressure at school with her friends and social media telling her what to think. I'm so thankful for It's God, Yo! For under $10 a month, I know my granddaughter will at least see one positive message daily. The DM From Him is the best part. Plus, there's nothing to download and she carries her phone with her everywhere. One text per day and she can't 'forget' to check her devotional app. This was the best gift I could give her. I'll renew every year for sure!

I’m Iain Deckard. I live in Wichita, Kansas. I spent thirty years in law enforcement and public safety, and I’ve seen what the world throws at kids.
Social media tells them a thousand times a day they’re not enough. Not pretty enough, not popular enough, not perfect enough. I built It’s God, Yo! to be the one message that tells them they are. A real Bible verse, in words they’d actually read, on the phone that’s already in their hand. No app to download. No account to remember. Just one honest text every morning.
This is a teen ministry for every young person with a mobile device. I get the text myself. I need it too.

The same voice they’d get on their phone. No signup, nothing to enter.
Text VERSE to 877-519-4777 and we’ll send you the same kind of message your teen would get: a sample verse, plus a quick look at DM from Him. Free, no signup, no card.
We will send your sample now, and one follow-up text tomorrow in case you want to get started. That is it. Reply STOP anytime to opt out, or HELP for help. Msg & data rates may apply.
You went from ‘Mom’ to ‘Bruh’ and didn’t even notice it happen. Somehow you’re supposed to talk to your teen about faith in a language you don’t speak anymore. So we skipped the lecture and sent a text instead. That’s the one language they never stopped checking.
Full transparency: every English message is grounded in the King James Version. Every Spanish message is grounded in the Reina-Valera 1909 revision. Both are public domain texts, so there’s no copyrighted translation being licensed or infringed here, and there never will be.
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. No charge until your teen replies YES.
Every generation gets its own slang. The Bible wasn’t written in ours. It was Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Old English, whatever the moment called for. Somebody was always translating the delivery, never the message. We’re doing the same thing, just for right now. Teens who need the Word but don’t always take to how it’s usually said deserve the same shot at hearing it as anyone else. That’s the whole point of It’s God, Yo!™
