The WithYou Story

WithYou didn’t begin with a big launch or a clear roadmap. 

It began with a question.

“What if people really just did what they were made for?”

That thought—scribbled into a consulting website back in 2007—never quite left. It was written to name something most people feel but rarely say out loud.

Over time, it started to look like something: A way to walk with Jesus. A way to help others do the same. Something small, transferable, and alive. It’s one piece of something much bigger—what God is already doing in homes, cities, and communities around the world.

WithYou just helps people step into it—clearly, simply, and together.

WithYou started as an internal tool—something to help teams stay focused on Jesus while walking with others in all kinds of places.

It took root inside Multiply, a global mission network shaped by everyday obedience and shared mission.

The name stuck. The tool spread. And what was once “just for us” is now available to anyone.

The roots trace back to multiply.net. The fruit? It’s showing up in living rooms, group chats, team debriefs, and unexpected friendships.

Where WithYou grew from

The people shaping it

No staff bios. No org chart. Just people who couldn’t leave the idea alone.

Doug was the first. Not because he had all the answers—but because he couldn’t stop asking the questions. The kind of questions that don’t go away. The kind that eventually shape things.

Others joined in—with pushback, prayer, ideas, and a lot of waiting. Some stayed up late. Some just kept showing up. Thanks for that.

And over time, those questions turned into something clear enough to carry—and light enough to share. Now it continues to grow—through a team that’s still building, listening, and making room for others to walk.

Wondering About WithYou?

Is this for people in churches? Or outside?

Yes. Some use it in small groups or teams. Others use it over coffee, across the street, or across the world.

What’s the difference between WithYou and a regular messaging app?

Think of it like texting with a compass. WithYou helps conversations move toward something—faith, growth, purpose.

Do I need to lead a group to use it?

Nope. You can start with a friend, a question, or a verse.

Is it really free?

Yes. Using and sharing Pathways is free. Creating and publishing your own comes with a small cost.

Do I need to be tech-savvy?

Not at all. If you’ve ever sent a message or scanned a QR code, you’re good to go.
