Question 1

Is FaithLens a Bible app?

Accepted Answer

FaithLens is not a traditional Bible reading app. While it includes Bible verses, FaithLens connects current news events with relevant Scripture, Christian reflections, prayer prompts, and calls to action. The goal is to help Christians process today's news through the lens of faith.

Question 2

What does FaithLens do?

Accepted Answer

FaithLens pairs current local, national, global, and space-related news with relevant Bible verses, Christian reflections, prayer prompts, and calls to action. It uses AI to analyze news stories and generate reflections that help you see current events through Scripture.

Question 3

Is FaithLens free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The daily national, global, and space reflections are free forever for every account, and your city's local reflection is free for your first 7 days. Every reflection includes the full content: Scripture, pastoral reflection, prayer, reflection question, and call to action. No credit card is required to start.

Question 4

What do paid plans add?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans add breadth, not the core experience. Seeker ($3/month or $30/year) keeps your city's local reflection after your free week and adds the family format and hopeful tone. Lightbearer ($5/month or $50/year) adds all formats, all tones, and all news categories. Prices are in US dollars, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Question 5

How is FaithLens different from YouVersion?

Accepted Answer

YouVersion is primarily a Bible reading app with reading plans and devotionals. FaithLens focuses on connecting current news events with Scripture so you can engage what is happening in your community and the world right now through a biblical lens.

Question 6

How is FaithLens different from The Pour Over?

Accepted Answer

FaithLens focuses on local news from your specific city and provides personalized reflections tailored to your preferences. The Pour Over offers broad news summaries with brief faith perspectives, while FaithLens goes deeper by matching stories with Scripture, a fuller Christian reflection, prayer prompts, and practical calls to action.

Question 7

How is FaithLens different from Hallow?

Accepted Answer

Hallow is a meditation and audio-prayer app, primarily Catholic and contemplative. FaithLens is a daily reading practice grounded in current events, ecumenical Protestant-leaning but usable across traditions.

Question 8

Does FaithLens use AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FaithLens uses AI to analyze news stories, select relevant Scripture, and generate the pastoral reflection, prayer, and call to action in each reflection. Scripture itself is canonical and unchanged; AI is used in the application of Scripture to the news, not in the Scripture text. Editorial guardrails, including the Trauma-Aware Pledge, apply to all AI-generated content.

Question 9

What does FaithLens do with my data?

Accepted Answer

FaithLens asks for your name, email, and city so it can personalize your reflections. There are no ads and no selling of user data, and tracking pixels load only after you accept them in the cookie banner. You can delete your account and its data at any time.

Question 10

What denomination is FaithLens for?

Accepted Answer

FaithLens is not tied to one denomination. Reflections are written to be usable across Christian traditions, including Catholic, Orthodox, mainline, and evangelical readers. Scripture is the lens; reflections avoid denominational point-scoring.

Question 11

Is FaithLens political?

Accepted Answer

No. FaithLens avoids left and right framing and does not offer political opinion through a Christian lens. Each reflection starts with Scripture and applies it to a news story to support your own discernment; it does not tell you which policy to support.

Question 12

What languages does FaithLens support?

Accepted Answer

FaithLens supports multiple languages so users can receive news and reflections in the language they prefer.

Question 13

Can I use FaithLens on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FaithLens works as a Progressive Web App, so you can use it in a mobile browser and add it to your home screen for an app-like experience. An Android app is also available.

Question 14

How do I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer
