About The Bible Dare

The Bible Dare is the most creative and generous way to encourage people to read the bible. Challengers and Participants alike will be blessed through this unique and engaging experience.

The Bible Dare connects challengers and participants through a simple dashboard.

Challengers can "dare" anyone with a valid email address to participate by reading any portion of the Bible for a gift.

Participants who accept the "dare" read the selected passage(s) of the Bible and answer a short quiz at the end of each chapter to show they've done the work. After the dare has been completed, they will receive their "gift" from the Challenger.

Challengers can "gift" anything from cash to other incentives, like gift cards, coffee date, or anything else!

In a perfect world, you wouldn't have to incentivize this process. But it communicates two things: how much you care and how serious you are about the important things in life.

We believe that the Word of God is transformative. It's fun to see people who have never read the bible have their eyes opened to the power of scripture. While some may feel uncomfortable inviting a friend or neighbor to a church, we want the Bible Dare to be a tool for you to engage someone in conversations about faith, and ultimately introduce them to Jesus.

  • First thing's first. We always want and need prayers. We believe in this project, but can't go anywhere without God's direction. We'd love for you to partner with us and pray for wisdom in decision making, for the hearts of those who will hear the gospel for the first time, and that God would be glorified in everything.
  • The Bible Dare is completely self-funded. While we do have some funds set aside to help with gifts, we are always looking for partners to help us further the vision we have for this project. We have some big goals for the future that we can't wait to share with you soon, but for now, we need some help getting started.
  • Server costs, future development, and operating costs exist. Donations help us make this happen.

For Challengers

If you are gifting money, then the Participant will be paid via PayPal. It's one of the most widely used payment processors in the world, and is a secure way to send and receive money. We are currently working on options for gift cards and Venmo functionality.

If you are gifting something else (gift card, coffee date, book, etc), then it's up to you to deliver the gift to the participant. Once you hit "Submit," you're committed to following through once a Participant completes the Dare.

Nope. 100% of the gift goes to the participant.

The Bible Dare doesn't make any money off of Dares. When you create a Dare, you have the option to support the mission of the Bible Dare along with your gift.

If you are gifting money through PayPal, there will be a small charge to cover the transaction fees, but The Bible Dare takes $0.00 from any gift or fee.

If a Participant declines the Dare, then the Challenger gets a refund (less the transaction fee).

Once you hit "Submit", you're committed and an automated process begins. However, we all know that in RARE cases, the decimal can mysteriously move on its own. If it's truly an accident, please reach out to support@thebibledare.org and we'll see if you're eligible for a refund. If a Participant declines the Dare, then the Challenger gets a refund (less the transaction fee).

If you are gifting something else outside of PayPal (gift card, coffee date, gift basket, etc), it's up to the Challenger to follow up and deliver what they've promised. You put the challenge out there, be prepared to back it up!

Yes! We are set up as a 501(c)3 and your gift is tax deductible. Just make sure to save your email receipts for tax purposes.

Yes, and we know that's a possibility. We've designed the quizzes to be pretty easy (no fancy Greek definitions), and our prayer and hope is that all Participants will have integrity. If this happens, we can't issue refunds.


Participants

Someone in your life cares about you—so much so that they wanted you to hear the transformative word of God. The best thing you can do is give it a try.

Absolutely. Once you complete the dare, you get your gift. No tricks, no gimmicks, and no catches.

Our gifting system is only set up in PayPal right now.

Start with one of the gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. Then, have a conversation about what you read with someone else. This is a communal experience - scripture isn't meant to be read in isolation.
