Fixes an issue with reading plan challenges.

Update 1.04 adds a Reading Plan to the Real Church iOS app. Some of the features include:

- Real Church can now begin Reading Challenges at any time. If a Reading Challenge has begun on the day that you open the app then right after opening the app a message will appear letting you know the name of the challenge and the number of days it will last.

- Stats are included with the Reading Plan. When viewing the main Reading Plan tab, press the Stats button in the top right corner of the screen and you will be presented with your Reading Plan progress which includes Consecutive Days, Weeks, and Months, as well as Total Days, Weeks, Months, and Years that you have completed a daily reading plan.

- The bottom right space of the Stats page will remain blank until there is a challenge or you have completed at least one challenge. If a challenge is active then this slot will show your progress. If you have completed at least one challenge and no challenge is active then this will show how many challenges you have completed.

- The Reading Plan is divided into Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs. Every day there will be a passage from each of these sections.


NOTE: The Vimeo page, which used to be located where the Reading Plan tab now is, can be found in a button on the info page.

Update 1.03 fixes an issue with the calendar which caused events to not display in order.

This update makes some changes to improve podcast performance and it also adds Real Church's calendar:

- A new Calendar Tab has been added to the app. Now you can view all of the events going on at Real Church and even add them to your device calendar or get directions (if an address has been included for that event).

- Before update 1.02, the sermon podcasts would not display until the series artwork was loaded. Now the sermons load with a placeholder image so you can access the podcasts much faster on a slow connection.

- When selecting a podcast to listen to, the app now loads the podcast differently which should help loading go faster and also decrease the chances of having a podcast fail to load.

Update 1.01 adds the ability to implement Videos and Prayer Requests into sermon notes.
