📖 what this is
a place to collect spiritual reading, prayer programs, scripture notes, devotional resources, and faith-related things i want to revisit.
this is not meant to be a massive theology library. it is more like a small stack of books, apps, podcasts, prayers, and notes that help me stay connected when my brain is full of weather.
🌱 why this matters
spiritual reading gives me a way to return to faith slowly and steadily.
not everything has to become a deep study session. sometimes the point is just to listen, read a little, pray a little, and let something good settle.
🎧 ascension “in a year” programs
i like the ascension “in a year” programs because they make big faith topics feel structured, approachable, and steady.
programs i like / want to track
- bible in a year
- catechism in a year
- rosary in a year
why they work for me
- clear daily structure
- guided explanation
- manageable chunks
- audio-friendly
- low friction
- easy to return to after falling behind
- feels like having a path instead of a giant blank wall of “go be spiritually productive”
