Scripture and trust

Scripture is always quoted, never generated.

Scripture always comes from a verified library, never from a language model. Here's how passages are chosen, how context is shown, and the claims we're careful never to make.

Where the text comes from

Every verse you see comes from a stored Scripture library, exactly as it appears there. Software reads what you've written and suggests which passages might be worth sitting with — it never produces the words of Scripture themselves. If we can't verify a reference against the library, we simply won't show it to you.

Which translations you'll see

We're starting with public-domain translations: the World English Bible, the King James Version, and the American Standard Version. The translation is named everywhere a passage appears. We'll add more as we're able to license them properly, and each one's licensing notice lives on the Scripture copyright page.

Context always comes with it

A verse lifted out of its setting can be made to say almost anything, and we don't think that serves you. Any passage can be opened up to show who was speaking, who they were writing to, what surrounds it, and the bigger story it belongs to. Where a passage is often misapplied, we'll gently say so.

How reflections are written

You'll notice careful, unhurried language — “this may speak to”, “you might consider”, “some have found”. That's on purpose: a reflection is something offered for you to weigh, not a verdict handed down. We won't claim to know what God is saying to you, we won't tell you what to do, and we'd never read your circumstances as reward or punishment.

Where we stand, and where we don't

Everything here stays within historic Christian belief, and we happily stay out of secondary denominational debates. You're welcome to tell us your tradition so the language feels familiar — that shapes how something is framed, never what Scripture says. Where Christians genuinely differ, we'll name the difference rather than settle it for you.

If we get something wrong

We will sometimes, and we'd genuinely like to hear about it. You can dismiss any reflection, and report anything that feels misapplied, insensitive, or theologically off in a single tap. Real people read those reports, and they change how the app behaves.

What we're careful not to claim

We don't describe the app as end-to-end encrypted, because we haven't built and independently verified that, and we'd rather be plain with you than sound impressive. And we don't call reflections spiritual direction, counselling, or pastoral care — they're not a substitute for any of those, and we hope you have all three.
