A Spiritual Growth App Built on Scripture Selah is a Bible-based spiritual growth companion designed to help you: • Reflect honestly • Grow intentionally • Pray consistently • Anchor yourself in Scripture Unlike passive Bible apps, Selah is structured around spiritual formation. Your Digital Mirror As you complete assessments, Selah builds a living spiritual-formation profile — your strengths, growth areas, how you're wired, and the biblical figures your design resonates with. It refreshes as you grow. Automatic Formation Journey Once your anchor assessments are complete, Selah builds personalized 7-day devotional plans drawn from your Digital Mirror — focused on the areas you most need to grow. On day 7 a short Glance Back asks how the week went, and your next week is built from your answers. Daily Rhythm Selah centers your day around: • Devotion • Scripture Reading • Bible Memorization • Prayer Training Your Today Page brings everything together in one focused daily hub. Spiritual Self-Assessments Explore biblically grounded assessments including: • Spiritual Disciplines (all 36) • Temptation (Lust of the Flesh, Eyes, Pride of Life) • Armor of God • Gratitude • Pride • Anger Awareness • Love Languages • Temperament • Emotional Intelligence • Decision-Making …and more. Track your growth over time and receive Scripture-based reflection, encouragement, and practical next steps. Your Growth Story shows plainly what has changed. Built Around the Word • Read daily Scripture in multiple translations, including the ESV • Compare translations • Tap verses for context • Listen to audio • Generate Bible study insights • Bookmark prayer training passages Even without an active plan, Selah provides a "Scripture for Today." Journal Timeline & Prayer Wall Your Journal is the story of your journey: devotion reflections, Scripture notes, practices and answers gathered on one timeline you can revisit and edit. Track prayer requests and answered prayers with daily Scripture-guided intercession prompts. Memorize Together Hide Scripture in your heart on a personal memorization journey, or learn a Family Verse together — in the language each of you knows best. Lifelines Care for the people God has placed in your life with clarity and prayer — a relationship timeline with a core question, biblical anchor, and prayer prompt at every stage. Synced Across Your Devices With iCloud Sync, your journals, prayers, test results, and memorization follow you across iPhone and iPad — kept private in your own iCloud. Multi-Language Support Fully localized in English, Romanian, Spanish, and German. AI reflections support additional languages. Selah is not about information. It is about transformation. Pause. Reflect. Grow. Support the Mission Selah offers optional donations and optional subscription-based enhanced AI reflection features to support continued development.

About

Grounded Men

Features
Read full description

A brotherhood for Christian men who refuse to drift. Grounded Men is more than an app. It's a real brotherhood of men drawing close to Jesus and sharpening each other through daily Scripture, honest prayer, and live group meetings called huddles. If you've felt the weight of doing life alone — work pressure, marriage strain, fatherhood, doubt, the quiet sense that you've been left out of something you were made for — there's a seat at this table for you. WHAT YOU GET - Daily Grounded Note — A short devotional lands every morning. Scripture, reflection, and one question to carry through the day. Built to ground you before the world pulls at you. - Men's Bible Reader — Multiple translations (ESV, CSB, KJV, and more), men-focused reading plans, audio Bible for the commute, highlights and notes that connect to your prayer life. - Private Prayer Journal — Praise. Request. Confession. Answered. Tag your prayers, search them, watch God answer over time. Confessions are encrypted and private — no one sees them but you and the Lord. - Live Huddles — Join 6 to 10 men who meet live twice a week (morning and evening). We open the Word, share what life is doing to us, and pray for each other. Real brothers, in real time, on video. - Prayer Wall — Share a request with your huddle. When a brother prays for you, you get the notification. Real brotherhood. Real lift. - Brotherhood Messaging — Direct messages, group chats with your huddle, and a private channel for your accountability partner. Built for honest conversation. - Book Club — Every huddle works through one book at a time. We're currently reading Understanding the Purpose and Power of Men by Dr. Myles Munroe. - Partner View — When you're ready, invite your wife or accountability partner into your rhythm. They see what you choose to share — your engagement, your growth, your shared prayers. Transparency without surveillance. - Emergency Prayer — Need prayer right now? One tap pings your brothers. They show up. WHO IT'S FOR Grounded Men is built for Christian men in every season — single, dating, married, fathers, divorced, widowed, mentors. Every life stage. Every burden. No performance, no pretense. WHY WE BUILT IT Founder TR Burns started Grounded Men after watching his wife and her best friend pray together every morning. He kept asking — where is that for men? Too many of us are doing it alone. Scripture says iron sharpens iron. We weren't meant to walk this alone. So we built it. PRIVACY FIRST - Your prayer journal is encrypted and private — even our team can't read it - No ads. No data sold. No tracking outside the app. - Confession entries get extra protection - Your data is yours — export or delete anytime FREE FOREVER Grounded Men is free for any man who needs it. We sustain the brotherhood through generosity from brothers who can give, so the next man who walks in finds the door open. JOIN US Step in at getgroundedmen.org or download the app and join in under 60 seconds. Your huddle is waiting. — TR Burns, Founder Rooted in Christ. Sharpened by brothers.
