How to Use Daily Ripple
Daily Ripple is designed to help people start their day through a frame of faith. It is meant to be a ritual, a practice we do with intention.
You’ll see there is a structure to Daily Ripple. A scripture passage to guide the day, a brief reflection (generally no longer than 150-words), and a coaching question. All of this is intentional.
We wanted to place texts that are sacred at the forefront.
We wanted our reflections to feel like someone left you a voicemail message, conversational and brief.
We wanted to guide practice beyond reflection. Our questions are designed to challenge you to commit to something different today.
We felt there is enough devotional literature out there that guides our reflection, and very little that seeks to push us to act in faith. That’s where Daily Ripple fills a void.
Our authors are diverse in their experience, contexts, and intersectionality. We want everyone to hear something from a voice that doesn’t travel in their circles. We don’t grow in echo chambers.
Suggestions on Using Daily Ripple:
You can use it personally, kind of a guided meditation over breakfast to start your day. That’s perfectly fine. We’d love to add your voice to the growing community, so when you’re ready, add a comment (or a commitment) based on the prompt. Even if you’re not feeling it that day, make the space your own.
Create a group and meet regularly. Build a community or small group of people around you who want to see their corner of the world be a little better. Meet regularly over coffee, beers, a meal, a walk, a game, or whatever binds you together. Make Daily Ripple a part of your practice and conversation as a community. Love it, hate it, engage it, whatever, just be together in relationship.
Start a small group at your church or faith community. Use ReFrame as the source of reflection and conversation. Support and encourage each other in your practice of faith.
Ask us questions. We aren’t perfect, we’re authors and practitioners trying to find our voice and our place in the world. If we can, and it’s appropriate, we’ll direct your questions to the authors of particular frames. We want to encourage conversation and flatten our ability to connect.
Ask one of us to speak to one of your groups. If you find something particularly engaging, reach out and we’ll try and make a connection. All our authors are paid independent contractors, if there is a fee for service they’ll be upfront about it. We’re a donation run organization, so any help you can provide helps us all.
Have another idea? Feel free to share it. We want to know how you imagine expanding, shifting, and building communities in your local spaces. Reach out and we’ll do our best to create a conversation.
