So I stopped asking.</p> <p>But the questions didn't go away.</p> <p>So I built Sanctuary Faith — a free app for people exploring their spiritual journey.</p> <h2> What it does: </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Jesus AI</strong> — ask anything, no judgment</li> <li> <strong>Worship music</strong> — to lift your spirit</li> <li> <strong>Daily devotionals</strong> — short reads to start your day</li> <li> <strong>Prayer wall</strong> — share and support others</li> <li> <strong>Community</strong> — connect with people on the same journey</li> </ul> <h2> Why I built it: </h2> <p>Not everyone feels safe asking hard questions in traditional spaces. I wanted to create a place where people could explore, doubt, and grow — without fear.</p> <h2> The tech: </h2> <p>Built with React Native, Node.js, and AI integration. Fully free to use.</p> <h2> Try it: </h2> <p><a href="https://dev.tourl">sanctuaryfaith.org</a></p> <p>Launching on Product Hunt this Tuesday (Jan 13). Would love your feedback!</p> <p>What's a question you've always wanted to ask but felt you couldn't?</p> ai startup spirituality opensource
