Ligonier Ministries Launches Grow AI App With 800 Teachers and Human Guardrails

Summary
Ligonier Ministries unveiled Grow, a faith-based AI app built on 50 years of teaching from more than 800 teachers to answer Bible and theology questions.
The Florida ministry said the tool is confined to its own library and is designed not to act like a person, pastor or parent, limiting answers to trusted theological material.
Sensitive prompts trigger human escalation: Grow deflects users beyond its boundaries and directs suicidality discussions to the 988 hotline or other real-world support.
Chris Larson said AI developers broadly need ethical self-regulation, arguing companies wield powerful systems without clearly disclosing the worldview behind their judgments.
