Refuge - Christian Guidance
Help for anxiety, grief, doubt
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A truth-driven guide for the questions you've been carrying alone.
Some things are hard to say out loud — to a friend, a small group, even a pastor. The doubt you haven't admitted to anyone. The marriage that's quietly unraveling. The grief that didn't end when everyone expected it to. The anxiety that arrives at 2 a.m. with no one awake to tell.
Refuge is a Christian guidance app for exactly those moments. It's an AI guide you can talk to at any hour — built to meet you with depth and honesty first, not a verse-of-the-day and not noise, and to help you think things through in the light of Scripture, the wisdom of the faith, and sound psychological insight. You can say the true thing here. Nothing you bring is too heavy, too tangled, or too unspiritual.
What you'll find inside:
— Honest conversation. Bring whatever you're actually carrying — anxiety, grief, doubt, loneliness, a hard marriage, burnout in ministry — and work through it without judgment and without being rushed.
— Guided Journeys. Quiet, structured paths through the things that don't resolve in a single sitting: meaning, forgiveness, anxiety, grief, purpose, identity, and hope.
— A private Journal. Keep the reflections and the moments worth returning to.
— A Professional Portal. For counselors, pastors, and ministry leaders who want Refuge alongside the work they already do.
— Real privacy. Refuge never posts, shares, or stores anything outside your account. What you say stays yours.
Refuge is not a replacement for pastoral care or professional counseling, and it never pretends to be. It exists for the space in between — the long stretch between Sunday and the next appointment, when the questions don't keep office hours.
Start free, with a generous trial and an always-free weekly floor — no time limit, and no credit card to begin. When you're ready, a subscription opens unlimited conversations, every Guided Journey, and the Journal.
A still voice of wisdom in an age of noise.
