Feastward
Missionary prep
Know the passages cold.
Not "I read it once." The kind of knowing where the verse arrives when you need it, in the middle of a conversation, without a search bar.
Free. No account needed to start.
The problem isn't reading. It's recall.
You can read a chapter a night for a year and still blank on the reference when it matters. Reading builds familiarity. Answering builds recall, and they are not the same skill.
Feastward makes you produce the passage instead of recognise it — assemble it from a word bank, supply the missing phrase, name where a doctrine is taught. That is the motion you'll actually need.
Forgetting is the real opponent
Everything you learn starts fading almost immediately. The fix is well-established and boring: see it again right before you'd lose it, a little further apart each time.
Feastward does that scheduling for you. Every passage you touch gets a due date. Miss one in review and it comes back sooner; get it three times running and it backs off for weeks. You never build a deck, never set a reminder, and never decide what to study — you open the app and today's work is already there.
What's in it
Twelve foundational units
The Godhead · prayer · the Book of Mormon · life before this one · this life · the Atonement · what comes after · faith · repentance · baptism · the Holy Ghost — plus feasting on the word itself.
Ninety-four lessons
Two to four minutes each. Enough for a few months of daily study before you ever repeat one, and the review layer keeps working after that.
Verified text
Every quoted verse is checked character by character against public-domain scripture before release. A typo cannot ship. And no unit is marked released until a named reviewer signs it off — that review is still under way, so today's units are drafts.
What this is, and isn't
- It's a study aid, not a program. Feastward is independent. It doesn't follow, replace, or claim to prepare you for any official course of study, and it isn't a substitute for the scriptures themselves or for the people teaching you.
- It won't grade your readiness. There's no score on how prepared you are, no percentage of worthiness, nothing that reads as a verdict. Getting an exercise wrong means the phrase needs another pass. That's all it means.
- It won't guilt you into opening it. Miss a day and it says so once, kindly, and then stops. There's a free rest day every week that never breaks your streak.
- Nothing gates the scriptures. No hearts, no timer on sacred text, no paywall in front of the word — not now and not later.
For parents
Feastward is quiet software. It collects an email address and learning progress and nothing else — no location, no contacts, no photos, no advertising, no third-party analytics or tracking of any kind. Written reflections stay on the device and are never uploaded.
Social features are opt-in, leaderboards default to off, and there is no chat, no feed, and no comments anywhere in the app. The whole of it is in the privacy policy.
Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man. Doctrine and Covenants 84:85
