Prayer Sparks App 2.0 Released

After the release of the first version of the Prayer Sparks app, I had a gnawing sense of leaving features undone—what was included was far short of what I really wanted the app to be.

So, after the first couple of bugs showed up, I dove back in and tried to work out the best way for the app to really become a full featured tool for cultivating a vibrant spiritual life. The result is version 2.0, available now on the App Store for iOS and iPadOS.

The app has been overhauled from the ground up to bring several major new features and tools to help you cultivate a vibrant spiritual life.

- New Journal mode allows you to reflect on your meditation and prayer times, and remember how things change over time.

- New Decks mode lets you scan through all of your spark cards and build a custom prayer session out of each one.

- New Media mode streams guided meditations and other audio prayer aids.

- New Prayer Lab introduces you to new kinds of prayer experiments, so you can grow through experience as you try new things.

Each of these new modes is designed to help you expand your capacity for prayer and meditation, and to encourage you to develop a more sustained, deeper spiritual life. And the app will grow with more content—especially experiments, prayers, and media, being added without the need for app updates.

All in all, I’m thrilled with this new release, and I hope you’ll give it a try.
