TheologosLast updated 28 October 2026
A Theologos profile is not a scoreboard. Its metrics say what you have read and what you have brought to the study of Scripture with others — nothing is ranked, and no number ever goes down because of what someone else did.

Connections and “Reading since” sit beside your name; Circles shows on other people’s pages.
Chapters of the Bible you have read yourself.
Every chapter you open and read counts once — whichever Bible you read in, on your own (“Just me”) or with a circle as your reading lens. Reading a chapter again does not count it twice.
This is your reading, not your circle’s. A circle marking a chapter as read or discussed changes nothing here.
Reflections you have asked in your circles.
A reflection is a question or thought you add to a chapter in a circle — what your circle then explores together. Every reflection you have written counts, whatever its status: Open, Exploring or Resolved.
Conclusions you have written.
When a circle reaches an answer to a reflection, someone writes it down as the conclusion. This counts the conclusions you wrote — on your own reflections or on anyone else’s in your circles. It is the closest thing to “answers” on Theologos.
Amens other people have left on what you shared.
Amen is the one reaction on Theologos. This counts the Amens others left on your posts and on your milestones in the Community feed. Your own Amens on your own posts are not counted.
It is a thank-you count, not a score: there is no ranking, no leaderboard, and nothing that takes it away.
Circles you are a member of.
Reading circles you have joined or created, public and private alike. Only the number is shown; which circles they are stays between you and their members — except the ones you have in common with the person looking.
People you are connected with.
A connection is mutual: one person asks, the other accepts. Church pages are different — you follow a church, and that is counted on the church’s page, not here.
The month you joined Theologos.
Simply when your account was created. It is the same whether you signed up with Apple, Google or an email address, and it does not change if you started as a guest and saved your account later.
Weeks in a row your circle has read or discussed a chapter.
The flame on the Read home and on a circle’s home is the circle’s streak, not a personal one. If a week is missed the streak starts again — with one week of grace, so a quiet week does not break it as long as the week before had something.
It is not shown on your profile. Your own reading has a streak too, counted the same way from the chapters you read yourself: when it reaches a new high, a small milestone appears in the Community feed for the people who may see your progress.
Until 28 October 2026 a profile showed the reading of whichever circle you had chosen as your reading lens, not your own. If your Chapters went up or down that day, that is why: it now counts only what you have read yourself. Reflections, Conclusions and Amens have always been your own.
