An intentional pattern
A rule of life is a pattern of practices that gives faith a place in the day. Prayer and Scripture. A shared meal. An act of care. The work we have been given.
Name the practices and intentions you want to return to. Make space for prayer, Scripture, reflection, and the rhythms of home, community, and work—then review the life you are tending.
Within Rule of Life
Begin with prayer, Scripture, reflection, and named intentions. Explore how those personal practices connect with formation, texting, and financial stewardship.
A personal Rule of Life
Bring prayer, Scripture, and reflection into ordinary life. Name your intentions, give daily and weekly practices a place in your personal calendar, and name what belongs to this season. Review what is being fulfilled and what needs to be released—across home, community, and work.

A short reading and a prayer.
Notice gratitude and a faithful next step.
Gratitude, reflection, a next step.
A disciple's journey
Your church's authorized stewards can develop teaching and assign pathways to individual disciples. Read Scripture, save reflections, practice what you learn, and submit work for mentor review. Keep the journey connected from one chapter to the next.

Two-way text messages (SMS) for check-ins, pastoral care, and everyday coordination, with conversation history to return to.
Share reviewed updates with people and groups. Reusable templates and delivery history help stewards prepare messages and follow through.
Schedule messages, respect sender quiet hours, and keep consent and opt-outs in view. Email updates are also available when configured.
Personal & church Financial Stewardship
Plan your personal resources with monthly budgets, posted income and spending, and vendor and category trends. Use a separate church ledger for budgets, financial records, and general, designated, or restricted funds. Each ledger has its own invitations and permissions.
Church records and personal ledgers stay separate, with their own invitations and permissions.

For the church, through the church
For pastors, tentmakers, and co-vocational ministers who care for a community while tending their own households and work. For the disciples, mentors, and stewards who walk with them.
Trust & intention
The app is invitation-only. New members create an account and complete multi-factor authentication; existing members use their account to accept an invitation.
Personal Financial Stewardship ledgers are private by default. Ledger administrators choose whom to invite and their permission. Being a mentor or holding a church role does not automatically grant access to someone's personal ledger.
Rule of Life does not sell or rent personal financial data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI. Account-linking services have their own privacy policies.
Before you begin
A rule of life is an intentional pattern of practices that helps you live what you believe. It can include prayer, Scripture, relationships, service, and the rhythms of home and work. The app gives those intentions a place to be practiced and reviewed.
Rule of Life is invitation-only. Follow the link in your invitation. If you already have an account, use it to accept; if you are new, create an account and complete multi-factor authentication. To ask about joining, speak with your community's steward or the person introducing you to Rule of Life.
Rule of Life is built for the church, through the church: pastors, tentmakers, co-vocational ministers, disciples, mentors, and households bringing biblical wisdom into ordinary life. The workspaces and access available to you depend on your invitation and permissions. A shared-ledger invitation can give you Financial Stewardship access without enrolling you in the wider discipleship platform.
Disciples save written responses and submit work from their formation pathways. Authorized mentors can review that work, offer notes, and name a next step or follow-up. A formation story gathers questions, responses, and progress across the journey for authorized review.
Your church's authorized builders prepare the teaching and practices. A steward assigns a volume, chapter, or moment to a disciple. Saved responses and completed work give mentors something concrete to review as they agree the next step. Formation access and assignments follow your community's invitations and permissions.
Yes. Communication supports two-way SMS conversations, group broadcasts, reusable templates, scheduling, and delivery history. Outbound email updates are also available when configured. Live messaging requires your community's approved setup and the appropriate permissions. Consent, opt-outs, sender quiet hours, and delivery processing affect which messages can be sent and when.
Yes. A ledger administrator can invite a spouse, mentor, or another trusted person to a specific ledger with Read only, Contributor, or Admin access. The recipient accepts with an existing account or creates a protected account. Shared members can see the ledger's financial information. Sharing does not share your financial account credentials, let recipients move money, or automatically grant access to other workspaces.
Church Financial Stewardship provides separate church budgets, financial records, and general, designated, or restricted funds. Its ledger administrator invites specific people to review or contribute. Church records and personal ledgers remain separate, with their own access permissions.
Posted income and spending show recorded activity, with refunds deducted from spending. Pending transactions remain separate and show their possible impact. Linked-account updates and available history depend on the institution; manual records depend on what you enter. Yearly plans use estimates; investment outlooks illustrate scenarios from the assumptions you choose. Use the figures to review, plan, and choose your next step.
