How to Download Your Lesson Guide

Follow these quick steps to get your free Episode 1 companion guide β€” available as a standard PDF or a fillable version you can type directly into.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Click the Download Button

On the episode page, click either "Download the Lesson Notes (PDF)" or "Download the Fillable Version" β€” whichever fits how you plan to use it.

Step 2: Choose Where to Save It

Your device will prompt you to save the file. Choose a spot you'll remember β€” like your Downloads folder or a dedicated "Love Blueprint" folder if you're following along with multiple episodes.

Step 3: Open the File

Once downloaded, open it with any PDF reader β€” Preview (Mac), Adobe Acrobat, or your browser's built-in PDF viewer all work.

Step 4: Fill It Out (Fillable Version Only)

If you downloaded the fillable version, just click or tap into any of the highlighted boxes β€” the Name/Date line, Reflection Questions, Journal Prompts, or Group Notes β€” and start typing. No printing required. (The fillable version's fields will appear lightly shaded when selected, so you'll know you're in the right spot.)

Step 5: Print It (Optional)

Prefer to write by hand? Print the guide from your PDF viewer using File then Print. It's designed to print cleanly in black and white or color.

Step 6: Use It Solo or in a Group

Pause the episode as you go and work through it on your own β€” or gather a group and use the dedicated Group Notes page at the back to track who's coming next time and jot prayer requests together.

Downloading and Writing on the Guide on iPad

You can download the guide straight to your iPad and either type into the fillable fields or write on it by hand with Apple Pencil (or your finger).

1. Download the file. Tap the download link on the episode page in Safari. It will save to your Files app (usually under Downloads or iCloud Drive).

2. Open it in Books, Files, or GoodNotes. Tap the downloaded PDF to open it, or tap the Share icon to send it elsewhere:

  • Choose "Copy to Books" to read it in the Books app

  • Choose "Copy to GoodNotes" (or "Open in GoodNotes") to write on it with more advanced tools

3. To type into the fillable fields: Just tap directly into any highlighted box (Name/Date, Reflection Questions, Journal Prompts, Group Notes) and the iPad keyboard will pop up automatically.

4. To handwrite on the guide with Apple Pencil (Files/Notes): Open the PDF in the Files app or Notes app, tap the Markup icon (looks like a pen tip in a circle), and you can write, underline, or highlight anywhere on the page β€” not just in the fillable boxes.

5. To handwrite on the guide in GoodNotes: Once imported, select the Pen tool from the toolbar and write directly on the page just like paper. GoodNotes also lets you highlight, add sticky notes, and organize the guide alongside your other notebooks.

6. Save your changes. Files, Notes, and GoodNotes all autosave, so you can close out and come back anytime.

The same steps apply on iPhone β€” the fields will just be smaller on screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this on my iPad?

Yes. You can download the guide straight to your iPad and either type into the fillable fields or write on it by hand with Apple Pencil (or your finger). See the iPad steps above.

Can I open the guide in GoodNotes?

Yes β€” after downloading, tap the Share icon and choose "Copy to GoodNotes" (or "Open in GoodNotes" if you have the app installed). It'll import as a new document you can write on, highlight, and organize just like your other notebooks.

Does the fillable version work on mobile phones too?

Yes β€” the same steps apply on iPhone. The fields will be a bit smaller on screen, so many people prefer typing on a phone but switching to iPad or a computer for handwriting.

Can I edit it after I've already started filling it out?

Absolutely. Nothing locks once you've typed or written in it β€” open it anytime and pick up where you left off.

I printed it out β€” can I still use the digital version too?

Yes, they're not mutually exclusive. Some people print the guide for personal journaling and keep the fillable version open on their device during group discussions for quick reference.

What if the text boxes look too small to type in comfortably?

You can pinch to zoom in on most PDF viewers (including Files, Books, and Acrobat) before typing β€” the text field will still capture what you type even when zoomed in.

Do I need an Apple Pencil to write on it?

No β€” your finger works fine in Markup mode too. The Pencil just gives more precision if you have one.
