## What is Burden and Grace?

The burden is real. The grace is here.

Most people don't have time for a devotional that asks for an hour. They have ten minutes before work. Five minutes after the kids are down. A drive to the office.

Burden and Grace was built for that person. The one who's tired. Who's carrying something they haven't told anyone about. Who needs Jesus more than they need another productivity system.

What's inside:
- A free 10-day "Silent Struggles" introductory track on the weights most people carry in silence.
- Ten 30-day premium tracks, each on one specific struggle: loneliness, anger, fatherhood, marriage distance, money stress, hidden sin, fatigue, and more.
- A daily devotional, fresh every day of the year, for when you're not on a track.
- A clean Bible reader (WEB and KJV) with verse highlighting and notes.
- A locking journal with zero-knowledge encryption — your words are yours.

What's not inside:
- No streaks designed to shame you.
- No algorithm tuning your scroll.
- No ads.
- No upsells inside a track.
- No hustle language pretending to be discipleship.

Built on Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."
