Guardrails
AI & Scripture Guardrails
Cruciform may use technology to support reflection, organization, and recommendation features, but Scripture remains central.
What AI may help with
- Summarizing themes
- Suggesting Scripture categories
- Generating reflection questions
- Organizing prayer/journal prompts
- Ranking media recommendations
- Offering gentle next steps
What AI must never do
- Claim "God told me"
- Speak as God
- Replace Scripture
- Replace pastors, counselors, doctors, emergency services, or the local church
- Diagnose conditions
- Promise outcomes
- Shame users
- Make absolute salvation or spiritual standing claims
Human responsibility
Users should test guidance against Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, and local church community.
Sensitive information
Raw private prayer, journal, and custom struggle text should not be sent to third-party providers unless explicitly opted in.
