Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Ask Scripture — its purpose, how it works, and how to use it with confidence.
Privacy & Trust
Your individual reflection is private and is never linked to your identity. Ask Scripture may collect anonymized, aggregated information — such as general topics people bring to the tool — to understand how it is being used and improve the service over time. This data contains no personal details, no names, and nothing that could identify you individually.
No individual person reads or monitors your messages. Ask Scripture may retain anonymized and aggregated data about the kinds of topics people bring to the tool, for the purpose of improving the service. No personally identifying information is stored or shared with outside organizations.
About the Responses
Ask Scripture draws exclusively from translations fully in the public domain: the King James Version (KJV), the World English Bible (WEB), and the American Standard Version (ASV, 1901). No copyrighted translations — including the NIV, ESV, NLT, or NASB — are ever used.
You are welcome to bring anything on your heart — grief, fear, relationships, forgiveness, purpose, doubt, anxiety, family, loss, and more. If a topic falls outside Scripture's scope, Ask Scripture will say so honestly and gently.
No. Ask Scripture is designed to serve all who hold Scripture in reverence, regardless of denomination or tradition. When topics are interpreted differently across Christian traditions, the responses acknowledge this honestly without taking sides.
Limitations & Pastoral Care
No, and it was never designed to be. Ask Scripture is a tool for personal reflection — a quiet space to turn to Scripture when something is weighing on you. It is not a substitute for pastoral care, the counsel of a trained minister, or professional counseling. If you are facing a serious challenge, please reach out to your pastor or a trusted leader in your faith community.
If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or harming others, please do not rely on this tool. Call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7 in the United States), contact local emergency services, or reach out immediately to a pastor, trusted person, or professional counselor. You are not alone, and help is available.
Legal & Liability
Ask Scripture quotes exclusively from The Holy Bible, a text in the public domain. Responses are provided for personal reflection and informational purposes only, and should not be treated as a substitute for pastoral, psychological, or professional counsel.
No. Only public domain translations are used — the King James Version (KJV), World English Bible (WEB), and American Standard Version (ASV, 1901). These are freely available to all with no copyright restrictions.
