About

FORGE

Features
Read full description

FORGE is an operating system for intentional living that helps you align with reality as God designed it, so you can faithfully participate in becoming who you were created to be. Life continually presents formation moments: conversations, decisions, opportunities, pressures, celebrations, temptations, and ordinary responsibilities. FORGE helps you become present to those moments and respond intentionally. Use three lifelong practices: • Align — prepare for what is before you. • Reorient — regain direction when pressure, drift, or uncertainty appears. • Reflect — receive wisdom from what happened. FORGE does not assume something is wrong. It begins with what is always true: God is present in this moment. Inside FORGE you can: • Pause before important or ordinary moments. • Recognize the external and internal invitations within a decision. • Examine what your response may require and what it may form in you. • Choose a faithful next step. • Return later to reflect on the fruit of your response. • Save only the moments you intentionally choose to keep. • Set optional reminders at times you choose. • Explore the principles, process, and biblical foundation beneath the experience. Your practice responses remain on your device. FORGE currently requires no account, contains no advertising or behavioral analytics, and does not transmit your private answers to a FORGE server. FORGE is not a replacement for Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, a local church, professional care, or the work of the Holy Spirit. It is a tool for participating more intentionally in God's transforming work.
