Like any email, you can always forward the email to your intended recipient(s). However, we do NOT recommend doing this regularly, especially if you don't know whether the person you are forwarding the devotional to wants to receive it.
We frequently hear from subscribers who are being unsubscribed from the daily emails by people that they regularly forward the message to. This is because some recipients may not want to regularly receive the forwarded devotional, and when the recipient clicks the unsubscribe button in the forwarded message, it manipulates the sender's email subscription.
Alternatives to forwarding the devotional:
- The best way to share, is to send the Email Subscription Sign Up form with your friends and family members who may be interested in regularly receiving the devotional:
- For the written devotional, use odbm.org/about-us/email-subscription
- For the daily video devotional, use odbm.org/about-us/video-email-signup
- Download the Our Daily Bread mobile app, and share the devotional from the app. Sharing this way sends a link to the online devotional. This ensures that you still have daily access to the devotional, and can share the devotional without the potential of losing your access to it.
- Forward the email, but delete the "unsubscribe" verbiage from the bottom. You will need to make sure that you do not click unsubscribe while you do this though!
- Save a "print" view of the devotional email and share that document with your friends.
