Leaving boyhood behind so you don’t live in a state of perpetual adolescence. That’s a big aim of Exodus 90 App for men looking to enrich their spiritual life according to the app’s founder/director, James Baxter. If that’s what you’re looking for, and you’d like to take a hard-core approach to seriously tackle your spiritual growth between now and Easter (or any 90-day period you choose), here’s your program.
Exodus 90 is an intense make-my-daily-routine-uncomfortable initiative that emphasizes traditional forms of mortification like various forms of abstinence, physical discomfort, prayer and meditation to get you to break bad habits and form new ones that lead to FREEDOM in Jesus Christ. And because this exercise covers 90 days, it is ideal to hitch onto Lent.
That means you can start Day One on January 13 and complete the journey on Easter Sunday. If you begin on Ash wednesday (February 26), your journey ends May 26.
A U.S. Catholic bishop is encouraging men to “embrace the sacrificial spirit” of Exodus 90 and join him in following the app’s program. Most Rev. Joseph Strickland, Bishop of Tyler, Texas, who is set to start the program himself on January 13, has Tweeted that even if you can’t go all in on the daily practices (no sweets, no alcohol, added prayer time, regular exercise, fasting/abstinence twice a week, cold showers, fast from technology, reading Scripture regularly, etc.) “at least try to adopt some of these practices.”
The app is free with additional monthly purchase to continue the program– $10 each month totaling $30.
Effects of the intense Exodus program can result in a closer relationship with Christ, appreciation of silence in body and mind, a re-orientation in how you spend your valuable time, a sense of renewed “sonship” with God, healthier body, and stronger relationships. All this, according to developers, adds up to regaining freedom, and the source of that freedom is Jesus Christ.
If you feel you may be up for this type of intense spiritual workout, check out the in-depth conversation about this app with its developer on Taylor Marshall’s podcast via YouTube. Marshall has gone through the program twice and along with Baxter, they cover the program rather thoroughly.
