THE REDEEMED SECOND HALF
How to use this app
What each button does, what a check-in is, and how to get the most out of the tool.
Last updated: April 24, 2026
The short version
You take an honest assessment with an AI interviewer. It generates a profile of who you are right now and a 90-day action plan. From there, you check in periodically to talk through what's working, what isn't, and what you've actually done. When real life shifts the ground under you: job change, health event, financial hit — you can rework the plan to match the new reality.
It's not therapy or coaching. Think of it as a sparring partner that knows your file and won't let you slide.
The flow
- Sign up: email and password. Verify your email.
- Take the assessment: a conversation with an AI interviewer across the domains you choose. Identity is the foundation and is always included. Body, money, relationships, faith, future — pick your areas of concern, or select all for a full, in-depth assessment. Domains you skip still get a brief inference in your profile. Plan on 9–30 minutes, depending on how deep you go. Be honest. The output is only as sharp as your input.
- Get your profile and 90-day plan: generated automatically when the assessment ends. Lives in your account from here on out.
- Check-in: short conversations about what's happening. Your progress, stumbling blocks. You can add additional action items. The AI references your plan, your action items, and prior check-ins.
- Rework the plan when your situation changes substantially. Not every week, and not every time something annoying happens. This is for when the plan may no longer fit the life you're living now.
Top nav buttons
Mouse over them for quick reference for what each one does.
Check-In
Open the action items checklist, mark what you've done, then have a conversation about how the plan's going. The AI knows your profile, your plan, and your prior check-ins. It will help keep you on track.
Rework 90-Day Plan
For significant situation changes: job, health, relationship, money — that make the current plan unrealistic. After a short conversation about what's shifted, the AI rewrites the 90-Day Action Plan section only. The AI will refuse to rework if nothing major has changed. That refusal is the right answer, not a bug. Your plan stays put until you work through it.
Expand Current Assessment
Add more depth to your profile without starting over. Useful when you skipped domains the first time, or when something new has surfaced that the original assessment didn't catch.
New Assessment
Your old profile is replaced. Download your existing profile (PDF) first. Past check-ins and action item progress won't carry over. Use this when enough has changed that a real reset makes more sense than an expansion or a rework — or if you've hit all your milestones and have something new to work on.
Download PDF
Save your profile and plan to your device as a PDF. Useful for printing, sharing with a spouse or counselor, or keeping a copy outside the app.
Copy All
Copy your full profile text to your clipboard so you can paste it into a journal, a doc, or anywhere else.
Sign Out
End your session. Your data stays put. It's tied to your account, not the device.
Profile tabs
Below the top nav, your profile is organized into tabs. Each one shows a different view of what came out of your assessment.
- Assessment: the foundation: who you are right now, in your own words, organized by domain.
- Patterns: what the AI noticed across domains. The pattern beneath the patterns.
- What Vic Would Say: the AI's read on what stood out from your assessment, written in Vic's voice from his own extensive interviews and essays.
- 90-Day Action Plan: the concrete actions to take over the next quarter to get you to the next level of reaching your goals.
- Milestone Check: what to look for at the 30, 60, and 90-day marks to know if it's working.
How a check-in works
It's an AI conversation, not a form. You won't fill out a mood slider or rate yourself one through ten.
Before the conversation starts, you go through your action items checklist. Mark what's done, add anything new, remove anything that doesn't fit anymore. Then the AI opens with what it knows about you and asks a real question. You answer. It pushes back when warranted. It tracks themes across check-ins.
The cadence the tool is designed around: roughly Day 1, 4, 10, 21, 45, 75, and 90 after your plan starts. Reminder emails will come from the system on that schedule. Until then, check in whenever the moment is right: when something happened worth processing, when you completed a milestone, or when you're stuck.
Action items
Your action items are pulled automatically from the 90-Day Action Plan when your profile is first generated.
You can check them off, add your own, or remove anything that doesn't apply. The AI references this list during check-ins: what's done, what isn't, what you added. The list lives at the top of every check-in screen so it's right there when you start the conversation.
Check-In vs. Rework — when to use which
Easy to confuse these. They do different things.
- Check-In is for the routine. The plan still fits. You want to talk through where you are with it.
- Rework 90-Day Plan is for when reality has shifted. New job. A health diagnosis, marriage falling apart or coming back together, a financial hit that changes what's possible. The plan you wrote six weeks ago no longer reflects the life you're living now. It will ask clarifying questions and generate a new 90-Day plan.
If you tap Rework when nothing material has changed, the AI will tell you so and decline to rewrite. That's not a failure. The plan is intact, no changes were made, and you can go back to your profile and work on completing your action items.
Expand vs. New Assessment: same question, different answer
Both add to or replace your current assessment.
- Expand Current Assessment keeps your existing profile and adds depth: more domains, more detail, things you didn't get to the first time.
- New Assessment replaces your current profile with a fresh one. Past check-ins and action item progress won't carry over. Use this when you've changed enough as a person that the old assessment doesn't describe you anymore.
Most people will Expand more often than they start new. New Assessment is if your goals or issues have changed dramatically, or you've completed all your previous action items and milestones and have a new issue to conquer.
Account and data
Your account is tied to your email. Sign in from any device: your profile, plan, action items, and check-in history all travel with you.
Your assessment content is stored as encrypted data. It's never sold, never shared with advertisers, never used to train AI models. The full details — including what the operator can and can't see — are in the Privacy Policy. The legal terms of use are in the Terms. If you're in active crisis, the Crisis Safety page has the resources you need — this app isn't built for that.
If you have a problem with the site or feedback on how to improve it
If a button doesn't behave the way this page says it should, the app does something unexpected, or you have a question, email support@theredeemedsecondhalf.com. Vic will read it. Bug reports help the tool get sharper.
This page covers mechanics. The deeper "why" of the framework — second-half recalibration, misdirected strengths, where faith fits in — lives at theredeemedsecondhalf.com.
