This app is awesome if you wanna have a better relationship with God and/or Jesus!! My dad had paid for the family plan and I had never started using it until this week actually. I wanted to improve my relationship with God, because I was scared of demonic possession and stuff involving that. I was questioning God’s protection over me and that got me really worrying. I realized that God will always protect me from evil things. So, I have been listening to a little podcast on this app, narrated by Jonathan roumie who played Jesus in The Chosen TV show. I have started with the beginning sessions and I really like them so far, and plan to keep listening to them every single day. I want you all to know that God is there for all of you! A lot of people tell me they need to see things to believe them, but that’s not true for God. Just because you can’t see him doesn’t mean he isn’t there. Same with Jesus . You can’t see him but he’s there just like God is. It’s called faith, and you should have it for God and Jesus. There is this poem about a guy who is walking on a beach and going through a hard time. He feels as if God isn’t there with him, but he quickly sees that’s not true. All of a sudden there is another set of footprints and it’s God carrying him. That’s just an awesome story to show you that God is there for everyone. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Download this app if you need God and Jesus!

A less significant feature of the Hallow app is that your profile will tell you how much time you’ve spent using it. After a 3-month trial and one year of subscription, I have used Hallow for 30,152 minutes. That’s 502.5 hours, somewhwere just north of an hour a day. Much of that time I spent completing Catechism in a Year and Bible in a Year with Father Mike Schmitz, but I have also learned to pray the rosary, learned about saints and other people who struggle just like me with living a life of faith, listened to daily mass readings, and learned anout the gospel through exegesis. At the annual sunscription rate, this has cost me under 14 cents per hour. That’s the accounting side of it. What I can’t quantify is how much this has helped my spiritual formation. I signed up for a trial because I was in RCIA and found myself wanting more. This app, like many other blessings we receive, was much more than I asked. Little chunks of time here and there - 10 minutes in the car between my daughter’s school and my office, 20 minutes on the drive home, 30 minutes before bed with the Bible or the Catechism - it adds up to 30,152 minutes of time, but so much more - ears that can hear, eyes that can see, and a heart that can feel the Holy Spirit. Hallow has helped me along my journey home, and that is a pearl beyond price.

Before Hallow, my spiritual life was unorganized and reactive. I'd attempt to have quiet time with the Lord, but would be interrupted by my children or my own thoughts. 30 minutes would go by and I'd feel so defeated that I couldn't even make it through one prayer without becoming distracted. My husband gifted me a subscription 2 years ago and it's now a recurring Christmas gift from him (I can't imagine anything better). Now, my thoughts and prayers are cohesive because the guidance from the app keeps me on track. I've learned so many new prayers that I never knew before, and I can "whip them out" in the middle of whatever chaos might be going on in our day. If my toddler comes in the room during my quiet time, he doesn't have to leave. He understands quiet time now and loves to listen and pray with me. He even requests Hallow in the mornings now! The "Kids" feature has been such a blessing. If you're a busy mom or a busy anybody, Hallow is an amazing app you won't regret. I've recommended it to everyone I meet who mentions a struggle with their prayer life. It has truly helped change my life for the better. Thank you, Hallow!
