Living the Faith
Like Duolingo, but for Living the Faith. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
A short one: 26 levels across 3 sections, about 52 minutes end to end, roughly 10 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Walking the Talk, Reading the Map, and The Roots of the Tree. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in Living the Faith
- The Golden Rule requires proactive initiative rather than just avoiding conflict
- The Golden Rule uses one's own desires for well-being as the standard, not the other person's behavior
- Doing 'unto others' means taking the same helpful action you would want for yourself
- It requires a shift from judgment to active empathy
- Passive behavior focuses on what NOT to do (avoiding sin)
- The role of empathy and self-reflection in responding to difficult people
- Active behavior focuses on what TO do (seeking well-being)
- Distinguishing between passive 'harm avoidance' and active 'well-being seeking'
- Prayer can be an honest expression of current feelings rather than a performance
- Starting with simple gratitude or a 'status report' of your day is a valid entry point
- Listening in prayer often involves quiet reflection on thoughts, scripture, or sudden insights
- Silence is a tool for aligning one's own perspective with a higher purpose
- The role of silence and listening in a prayer practice
- Prayer moves from external noise to internal honesty
- How to initiate prayer without relying on pre-written scripts
- The goal of prayer is often to shift the pray-er's perspective, not just to ask for things

Tomo gives Living the Faith the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
