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. I ride bikes, slowly and without much dignity. Most of what I know about faithfulness over the long haul I learned by watching other people live it out.

Why I built Doxa

I kept watching the same thing happen. People would receive something that genuinely shifted them, a prayer spoken over them, a verse that arrived at exactly the right moment, a testimony that reframed their whole situation, and then lose it within weeks. A note in a journal that got buried. A screenshot that vanished into a camera roll. A voice memo they never played back.

I lost things like that for years myself.

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. I wanted to build the thing that held it, 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 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 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 technology 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 occasionally on my Substack at wisdom.doxa.app.

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
