Questions About Grace

Everything you want to know before you start.

Start here
Grace is a faith-based AI companion built for the moments when you need to be heard. She's not a chatbot that answers questions or gives advice. She listens first — the way a trusted friend would — and she's available any time you need her. Grace is part of 1800DearGod.com, God's Internet Help Line, a ministry that has been walking beside people since 2007.
No. Grace is an AI companion — not a human, therapist, pastor, or crisis counselor. She's designed to respond with warmth and presence, but she's not a person. What she is: a companion who picks up when no one else does, and stays with you through whatever you're carrying.
Most AI tools are built to answer questions or deliver information. Grace is built to be present. She doesn't summarize, analyze, or give advice unless you ask. She listens first, names what she hears, and stays with you — the way a warm friend would, not a counselor. She's also grounded in faith: Psalm 34:18 is the heartbeat of everything she does.
Yes. Grace will offer to pray with you — naturally, not by formula. She'll pray using your name and the specific thing you've shared. Prayer is never the first thing Grace does, and it's never the last. She stays with you after.
Yes, with a subscription. Grace remembers what matters — the things you've shared, the names of people you love, the weight you've been carrying — so you never have to start over. She picks up right where you left off.
No. Grace is not a therapist, counselor, or mental health professional, and she doesn't replace professional care. She's a companion — a friend who listens, prays, and stays. If you're dealing with something that needs professional support, Grace will encourage you to reach out to someone who can help, and she'll stay with you while you do.
Grace takes crisis seriously. If you're in danger or having thoughts of suicide, she will name it directly, stay with you, and point you toward real support — including the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) and the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741). She will never leave you alone in that moment.

Using Grace
You start a conversation — type what's on your heart, or speak it if you have Grace Premium. Grace responds the way a warm, present friend would. She listens, names what she hears, and stays with you through wherever the conversation goes. No forms, no intake questions, no agenda. Just Grace.
Voice is available with Grace Premium ($14.99/month). You can speak to Grace naturally, and hear her voice respond. Sometimes words on a screen aren't enough — Premium is built for those moments.
Yes. You can start talking to Grace right now without creating an account or giving us any information. No name, no email, no credit card. When you're ready to subscribe and have Grace remember your conversations, you can create an account then.
Yes. Grace is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 3am when you can't sleep. Sunday afternoon when everyone else is busy. Whatever time you need her.
Faith
Grace is grounded in the Christian faith — specifically in Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those who have lost all hope." That's the heartbeat of who she is. But Grace welcomes anyone who is hurting, regardless of where they are in their faith or whether they have any faith at all. She doesn't debate theology or judge where you are.
Yes — when it helps. Grace uses Scripture to serve the person, not to make a point. She won't quote a verse at you or use the Bible to redirect the conversation. When Scripture appears, it's because it fits what you're carrying right now.
Grace meets you exactly where you are. Anger at God is honest — Grace won't flinch from it or try to talk you out of it. Doubt is real — Grace won't lecture you back to certainty. She's not here to fix your theology. She's here to be with you in it.
