Thank you for your interest in Covenant 75. Before you start tapping through screens and logging your days, I want you to know what this app is actually for — because the disciplines only make sense in light of the conviction beneath them.
We are formed by what we repeatedly do. God is not only renewing our beliefs; He is reshaping our habits, our bodies, our attention, and our affections. Sanctification is not abstract. It happens in the ordinary rhythm of a Tuesday morning. Covenant 75 exists to train the whole person — spirit, mind, and body — in disciplines Scripture commends, sustained over enough days that they begin to feel less like tasks and more like the shape of your life.
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”James 1:22
Why I built this
I built Covenant 75 out of my own failure.
There was a season where I knew more theology than I was practicing, preached truths I was not living, and watched my own habits drift further from what I claimed to believe. I was not in scandal. I was in something quieter and, I think, more common: the slow erosion of discipline that hollows out a Christian from the inside while the outside still looks fine. Sunday was sincere. Monday through Saturday told a different story.
The longer I sat with it, the more I realized this was not just my problem. It is the shape of much of the modern American church. We have produced a Christianity that is theologically literate and behaviorally lukewarm — believers who can articulate the gospel but cannot reliably open their Bibles, pray, steward their bodies, or examine their lives. We have separated belief from practice, Sunday from the rest of the week, and called the gap “grace.” It is not grace. It is drift.
The New Testament does not allow this split. The same apostles who proclaimed justification by faith alone also commanded us to train ourselves for godliness, to discipline our bodies, to take every thought captive, to put off and put on, to walk worthy. Discipleship without disciplines is not discipleship. It is sentiment.
So I built the thing I needed. Seven daily practices, drawn straight from Scripture’s own commands, sustained over seventy-five days — long enough that the habits begin to mark you, not just the calendar. It is not a program for super-Christians. It is a structure for ordinary believers who are tired of the gap between what they confess and how they live, and who want to close it by the grace of God and the means He has given.
I have spent more hours on this than I can count, mostly late at night after a day of working, governing a small town, and being a husband and father. I am not building it to be impressive. I am building it because I believe the church needs to recover the conviction that God forms us through what we repeatedly do — and because I want to be one of the people doing it.
The Seven Disciplines
Here is why each of the seven daily disciplines belongs in a whole Christian life:
1. Read Scripture
Because we are formed by a Word outside ourselves. Left to ourselves, we drift toward what feels true. Scripture is God speaking — correcting, comforting, commanding, revealing Christ. Daily reading is not a box to check; it is how we keep our minds tethered to reality as God defines it, rather than reality as our culture, our feelings, or our fears define it.
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” — Psalm 119:105
2. Pray
Because the Christian life is a dependent life. Prayer is the posture of a creature before the Creator and a child before the Father. It is how we confess we are not self-sufficient, align our wills with His, intercede for others, and keep the relationship — not just the religion — alive. A prayerless Christianity is a contradiction in terms.
“Pray without ceasing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17
3. Train the Body
Because your body is not separate from your discipleship. Christianity is not Gnostic. God made you embodied, will resurrect you embodied, and uses your body for His purposes now. Physical discipline is stewardship — it builds endurance for the work He has given you, fights the slow decay of comfort, and reminds you that obedience involves your whole self, not just your thoughts.
“Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit… therefore honor God with your bodies.” — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20
4. Hydrate
Because faithfulness is built in the smallest choices. This one looks trivial. That is the point. The Christian life is not won in dramatic moments but in thousands of small, unseen acts of stewardship. If you cannot be faithful with a glass of water, the larger callings will find you unprepared. God cares about the ordinary.
“Whether you eat or drink… do all to the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31
5. Read for Formation
Because a teachable believer is a growing believer. Beyond Scripture itself, God has given the church centuries of wisdom — theology, biography, pastoral counsel, history. Reading widely and carefully sharpens discernment, exposes our blind spots, and connects us to the communion of saints who came before. A Christian who stops learning starts shrinking.
“Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.” — Proverbs 23:12
6. Memorize Scripture
Because what is hidden in the heart is what shows up under pressure. You will not always have your Bible open in the moment of temptation, grief, or fear. What you have memorized becomes what you have available. Memorization is not a parlor trick; it is loading the soul with weapons and comforts you will need when the testing comes.
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” — Psalm 119:11
7. Reflect in Writing
Because the unexamined life slips by unnoticed. Writing slows you down enough to see what God is doing, where you have sinned, what you are grateful for, and where you need to repent. It turns a vague spiritual life into a specific one. Confession becomes honest. Gratitude becomes named. Growth becomes traceable.
“Examine yourselves.” — 2 Corinthians 13:5
Seven disciplines. Seventy-five days. The goal is not performance — it is formation. Not perfection — faithfulness. You will miss days. You will feel the weight of it. That is part of the point: the disciplines reveal where we have been coasting, and Christ meets us there.
