Monitors your "spiritual habits" for decline. missed church, "decreased Bible reading," "lapsed prayer times." decline triggers a "pastoral check-in." jake thought this would "catch people before they fall." jake built a decline tracker. jake doesn't know that tracking decline doesn't prevent it. jake thinks monitoring is caring. jake monitors everything. jake cares about everything. jake expresses care through monitoring. jake doesn't know another way to care.

If this project brings up something difficult, step away from the screen and contact someone you trust. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For urgent danger, call 911. deceit.world/help has more real resources.
