Who I am
I'm Garth. I built Doxa, the personal prophecy app. It exists to help believers remember what God has said to them, weigh those words against Scripture, and come back to them when life gets heavy.
I live in England with my wife and my family. I imagine a world where no prophecy ever got forgotten, no believer ever got discouraged on their journey, and where God's rule and reign comes to earth as it is in Heaven as we follow the way of recording, testing, remembering and being encouraged until we see the full fulfillment of each word. I think of this as The Doxa Way.
Why I built Doxa
Doxa started with a simple conviction. God speaks. He has been speaking for a long time. Most of us have no durable way to hold on to what He has said. We have bank accounts for money (some still have wallets for cash), but we have nothing for the treasures of personal prophecies. I wanted to build the thing that held them, searchable, private, and tied to Scripture and to the testimonies of people who have gone before us.

What I believe about AI and faith
I build with AI for believers, and I take that seriously.
I have written at length about where I think the industry has gone wrong in AI Companions in Faith Apps. The short version: AI is a powerful technology and a tool. It is not a pastor. It is not a prophet. It is not a companion. The moment a faith app lets its AI pretend to be a person, it stops serving people and starts replacing the things that make them human.
Good faith AI does not claim to hear, sense, feel, or perceive. It does not pray, prophesy, or worship. It refers to itself by name, not by "I," because personhood is not something software gets to fabricate. And in crisis, it does what good technology ought to do: it gets out of the way and points to a real human being.
I think faith tech can be better than what most of the industry is shipping right now. That is what I am trying to build.
What I write about
I write on The Doxa Way, and on Substack at wisdom.doxa.app, and also post short-form video content on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.
Topics I come back to:
- Remembering what God has said, and building the habit that holds it
- Joy under pressure, perseverance, and the long haul of faith
- Personal prophecy and the weight of words spoken over a life
- What the church actually needs from technology
- How to build AI that serves rather than replaces
