Choose a better distraction: an artistically beautiful, holistic daily Christian experience. We present to you the Christian's answer to Instagram, let Spiritual Disciplines pull you in. Freely receive new daily art, short stories, haikus, video and audio, linked with the best scripture tools out there to absorb you into the spiritual disciplines. Ancient teachers have said that Spiritual Disciplines are the voluntary habits we can do to cause the heart change that we otherwise can't seem to force into our lives. It is also what tunes our human antennas to engage in conversation with God. All this in deep, one-minute draws. A few of the features: +Use "Car Mode" to knock out your God time while doing a workout or driving. +Daily readings from the Psalms, New Testament and Old Testament (following the Revised Common Lectionary) matched with art and even AI analysis tools. +See modern street views of places mentioned in the day's scriptures (not all scriptures). +Personalize your app to do your favorite disciplines each day. +Watch music videos (often secular) to connect with God like a love story. Also, choose worship songs you'd like to listen to each day. +See sermon sketchnotes for that day's scriptures, from some of the best sketchnoters publishing today (though not every day yet). +Ponder visual art from some viral Christian artists +Read short stories: modern day parables that make us cry or mount up strength. +Listen to dramatized audio of the daily scripture readings, with sound effects and character voice acting. +Watch nature videos to remind us of God's majesty (especially for those of us living in concrete jungles.) +Practice your daily bible memory verses. +Visually assess and renew your armor of God daily, earning points for every activity completed (it's less corny than it sounds). Personalized features enabled with a sign in: +Record your daily memories (with a photo) and how God worked through them. (similar to the Daily Examen) +Keep your daily journal, with columns for both your words to God and God's words to you. +Optimize your life: screens to set in place habits to achieve goals using Stanford-proven methods. +A to-do list that automatically prioritizes the order of your tasks. +And a weekly assessment to help you strategically direct areas in your life. +Ask AI questions about trends or spiritual health it is seeing. +See the information you log day by day in a visual timeline showing your score, memories, journals, tasks accomplished, and armor earned that day!
