Today, I’m excited to announce the public launch of Sanctified Code™: Discerning AI.
For the past several months, I have been asking a simple but important question:
How do we use AI without surrendering our voice, our values, our theology, our ethics, or our human responsibility?
Sanctified Code™: Discerning AI was created to help answer that question. Thank you to those who participated in beta testing.
We made several modifications based on your observations and experience with the tool.
The app guides you through a process called Discern & Define, where you identify how you want AI to assist you and where you want human discernment to remain primary.
You define things like:
• your vocation and the communities you serve
• your theological and interpretive commitments
• your writing and communication style
• your research and citation expectations
• your ethical boundaries
• your preferred language for God
• the kinds of work AI may assist with
• the work you want to remain explicitly human
• how you want AI to challenge, question, and collaborate with you
The app then generates YOUR AI DISCERNMENT PROFILE, a reusable set of instructions you can use with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or other AI tools. You simply copy and paste your profile into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or other tools.
Because we do not speak, write, preach, teach, lead, or create in exactly the same way in every context, you can create different profiles for different kinds of work, including a Preaching Profile, Academic Profile, Business/Leadership Profile, or Grant Writing Profile.
The goal is not to make AI sound more human.
The goal is to help AI become more accountable to the human using it.
If you are a preacher, pastor, chaplain, theologian, scholar, educator, writer, nonprofit leader, spiritual entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to engage AI with greater clarity and integrity, I created this with you in mind.
I want you to try it.
Create your profile. Put it into the AI tool you already use. Then pay attention to what changes.
Does the response sound more like you?
Does it respect your boundaries?
Does it understand your theological or professional commitments?
Do you spend less time correcting the AI?
Does it become a better assistant without becoming the authority?
That is the work.
AI assists. You discern. You decide.
Sanctified Code™: Discerning AI is now live.
Trust Your Knower.
