God's Word, seen through
the prism of your life.

I was in the middle of treatment for cancer. Every weekday I was strapped to a table for radiation, my head held still while the machine moved around me. Every other week I sat through three days of eight-hour chemotherapy. I was on a feeding tube. I could barely drink. I couldn't lie flat without pain, so for months I slept in a recliner, when I slept at all.

One night, a little past halfway through treatment, I decided I was done. I was sick, I was exhausted, and I believed I was going to die anyway. At 2:01 in the morning, I decided to end my life.

I picked up my phone, and there on the screen was a Bible app I had forgotten I installed. I thought, this is it. This is God telling me not to do it. I opened it.

The verse of the day was about tithing. About giving ten percent to the church.

It made me angry. Here I was at the edge, and the words that greeted me had nothing to do with where I was. Nobody could have known what I was going through that night. But I kept thinking: the right message, at the right moment, could save someone.

What if technology could act like a prism, taking God's Word and bending it toward each person's life?

A 16-year-old boy doesn't need the same message as a 24-year-old woman. A teenager who loses his father needs something different from a 66-year-old man facing the same loss. What someone needs in Chicago is different from what someone needs in Hanoi. People deserve to see how the message applies to their lives, without having to work it out alone in the dark.

I thought about that until the sun came up. The crisis passed, and I never thought about suicide again. But I never stopped thinking about the idea.

Over the last few years, AI has finally caught up to it. Today Life Stages AI delivers scripture that makes sense for teenagers, young adults, parents, retirees, and everyone in between. Same Word. Your life.
