Admins and teachers can create a season with its own name and dates, opening
invitation, covenant prompt, closing reflection, and practice guidance.
Prayer, rest, work, and generosity remain represented, while churches can
rename practices, make them optional, and add practices for their own context.
Members begin with the church’s invitation, then write their own covenant and
commitment for each practice. They can save a draft, covenant it when ready,
revise it during the season, and close it with a private reflection.Those words are encrypted and visible only to the member. Staff see the
reusable template, not who started it or what anyone wrote.
Rule of Life follows church seasons, not daily completion counts. A new season
starts as a fresh invitation, with no score or streak carried forward.Read the Discipleship product guide to create a
seasonal Rule of Life.
