Most married business men with children are failing in the game called life, because they only focus on the game of Making money thinking that the answer to the money game is work harder. This trap of thought process is enslaving more and more men every day just like the creator of the CORE 4 daily game Garrett J White was for years. After losing everything in his personal and professional life Garrett, Founder of Wake Up Warrior, decided to start over from nothing. He left the religion he was raised in, the industry of business he was accustomed to, the city he lived in and his family life the way it was traditionally “supposed to be”. As a Married Businessman with Children life had become confusing and frustrating and there was an overwhelming sense of suffocation and disconnection that was slowly destroying his will to even produce and even some days to even live. Then one day he found the gateway. A system and a science to not only dealing with business but also designing himself, his Marriage, his family and his business’s to be everything he wanted and more with a simple, engaging and empowering process daily.

About

Dayspring Journal

Features
Read full description

You've been writing for years. Dayspring is the first journal that reads it back to you. Most journals are storage. You write faithfully, the entries pile up, and you never go back — not because you didn't care, but because a pile of entries isn't a story. Meanwhile the answers arrive and go unnoticed, because the asking was forgotten. Dayspring is built against that one enemy. HOW IT WORKS 1. Bring in your history. Import from Day One or Diarly in about a minute on Mac or the web, with your original dates kept exactly. 2. Write like you already do. Nothing to learn. Scripture, prayer, and what you sensed are captured on the page as you go — by keyboard, by voice, or from a photograph of a page you wrote by hand. 3. See what's been happening. Week, month, quarter, and year, in your own words. WHAT YOU'LL SEE • The Ascent — the threads of a season and the one line of the year, lifted verbatim from your own entries. • The Altar — the people, places, and matters you keep bringing to God, gathered from the prayers you laid down while writing. • The Lamp — every passage you've written, lit across the whole Bible, so you can find the verses that actually met you. • Rituals — nine contemplative forms, among them the Daily Examen, Lectio Divina, and the Prayer of Recollection, laid over the page as scaffolding and never as a script. Mac, iPhone, and the web, synced without you thinking about it. Eight themes, four writing faces, and a focus mode with nothing between you and the words. OUR PROMISES • Nothing is invented. Every reflection traces to something you actually wrote — the facts are computed in code and the quotes are verbatim. • Your entries are yours. We never train on them and we never sell them. • Your original dates are preserved exactly. Re-importing never duplicates. • You can export everything, any time, in plain markdown. • We will never score your spiritual life. No streaks, no badges, no verdict on your walk with God. Dayspring — Luke 1:78, "the dayspring from on high hath visited us." First light, and mercy after darkness. SUBSCRIPTION Dayspring is an auto-renewing subscription: • Monthly: $7.99 • Annual: $69.99 There is no introductory offer attached to these subscriptions. Choosing a plan starts it immediately: payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. BEFORE YOU SUBSCRIBE Every new account gets its first 14 days of full access from us directly — no card, no subscription, nothing to cancel. It is granted by the app, not by the App Store, and it simply ends. Nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.
