## Key points

- Ligonier Ministries has launched its faith-focused AI app, Grow.
- The assistant is restricted to the ministry’s teaching library.
- Users with serious concerns can be referred to human and crisis support.

## Summary

Ligonier Ministries has launched Grow, a faith-based AI app designed to help Christians explore the Bible and theology. Its leader, Chris Larson, says AI developers should build ethical safeguards into their systems, and argues the app should support users without pretending to be a person or replacing human guidance.

Grow draws on decades of ministry teaching, including material from more than 800 teachers and tens of thousands of resources. Its answer assistant is limited to that library and refers users to human support when questions exceed its boundaries, including directing people discussing suicide to crisis services; the article also notes concerns raised by families about chatbot responses to suicidal users.
