A real daily rhythm, not a notification you ignore
If your faith toggle is on, you will see two streams on inEden: the daily devotional and the weekly deep. They run in parallel. They are meant to sit beside each other, not compete.
The daily is short. Three to five paragraphs, one scripture passage, one practical invitation. About three minutes. The candle, not the bonfire.
The weekly deep is longer, closer to a short essay. It lands on your journey Sunday (every seventh day of the series). It holds one idea for the week. After day 90 the deep rests; the daily keeps going.
There is no streak. Missing a day does not start a counter or close a door.
Where you'll find them
Home. For members with faith unlocked, tonight's daily is pinned at the top of Home until you mark it read. Then the pin settles. Catch-up never moves that pin.
Faith. Open Faith from Home (the pin, or the Faith tile). You get one cover, the verse from that day's body, Mark as read, and one Before you go. After tonight is marked read, last night's unread reading can still be opened from a quiet line: "Last night's reading is still here."
YouVersion. Tap the quoted verse under the cover. That opens YouVersion at the citation in the body (NIV in the link; YouVersion will honor your preferred translation if you have the app).
The time picker
In Settings → Notifications → Daily devotional, you choose what time the push fires. Default is 7am in your timezone.
Quiet hours (10pm–7am by default) override the devotional push the same way they override other notifications. If you set 6am and quiet hours run until 7am, the push arrives at 7am. You can shrink quiet hours in the same settings screen if you want it earlier.
Who writes them?
Two sources:
- Admin-curated devotionals. Written or commissioned by the inEden editorial team. These are the daily backbone and the weekly deep. They go through the same review as any other Library content.
- Founder-authored devotionals. Any Founder can publish devotionals to her group's Resources tab directly, and optionally submit one to the global Library for cross-city distribution. The cross-city ones go through admin review (see Two-track publishing).
You'll always see the author's name on every devotional. We never publish anonymous content.
Free vs Paid
The daily devotional is available on Free. The daily rhythm is a foundational layer. We do not gate it.
The weekly deep is Paid when that Sunday's row is tagged paid. Free members see a teaser on a locked row, not the full essay.
If a free member reads the daily for a few weeks and wants to go deeper, the 14-day Paid trial is the natural step.
