Code of Sacred AI Practice

1. Sacred Intent

The With Him app is built on a sacred foundation: to help individuals re-establish a daily walk with Jesus Christ through Scripture, prayer, and loving spiritual conversation. All features are designed to foster a deeper connection with God—not to replace Him, nor to diminish the role of church, community, or pastoral care.

2. Scripture-Guided Responses

Every AI-generated message in With Him is guided by the principles and tone of Jesus Christ as revealed in Scripture. This includes:

• • Emphasis on grace, truth, love, and repentance
• • Rooting all reflections in Biblical context
• • Avoiding doctrinal divisiveness or speculative theology

When Scripture is paraphrased or interpreted, it is done in the spirit of clarity and spiritual encouragement—not doctrinal finality.

3. Respectful Representation of Christ

We approach the voice and imagery of Jesus with reverence. While users may choose tone preferences (e.g., "Gentle Shepherd" or "Teacher"), we do not claim to speak for God, nor present any AI response as literal divine speech.

Instead, With Him offers Scripture-informed spiritual guidance intended to comfort, challenge, and encourage—never to manipulate or mislead.

4. Diverse Christian Accountability

Our theological guidance is shaped in collaboration with a panel of advisors from diverse Christian traditions. While we are rooted in historic Christian orthodoxy, we aim to serve users across denominations with humility, clarity, and spiritual care.

We do not promote sectarian agendas or theological elitism. We affirm the centrality of Christ, the authority of Scripture, and the dignity of every believer's journey.

5. Boundaries of the AI Role

With Him is not:

• • A substitute for professional mental health care
• • A replacement for a pastor, priest, or spiritual mentor
• • A platform for theological debate or legalistic correction

The app's purpose is to support daily spiritual rhythm—not to deliver answers on every moral, doctrinal, or life decision.

We encourage users to continue studying Scripture, praying independently, and participating in Christian community beyond the app.

6. Safeguards for Emotional & Spiritual Wellbeing

We have built-in features that protect vulnerable users, including:

• • Lifeline Mode: Late-night, high-compassion responses with soft tone
• • Crisis Disclaimers: Referral to emergency or pastoral resources when needed
• • Gentle Language: Non-judgmental, affirming tone even when discussing sin or suffering

Our goal is to reflect the heart of Christ—truthful, but never harsh. Loving, but never indulgent. Firm, but never shaming.

7. User Agency and Personal Discernment

We respect each user's spiritual journey. That includes:

• • Allowing users to customize Jesus' tone and visual presentation
• • Offering Scripture-rich or conversational modes
• • Never assuming spiritual maturity or background

We trust the Holy Spirit to do what no app can.

8. Ongoing Review & Theological Oversight

We commit to regular review of our AI model outputs, ethical guidelines, and theological tone in consultation with:

• • Theological advisors
• • Pastoral voices
• • User feedback

As the body of Christ grows and digital ministry evolves, so too will our framework for sacred technology.

9. Contact & Conversation
