Getting Started
What is FaithWise?+

Features & How to Use Them
How does FaithWise AI work?+
FaithWise AI lets you ask questions about Bible passages, theology, prayer, or anything on your faith journey. Go to the FaithWise AI section, type your question, and receive a scripture-grounded response. The AI remembers context within a conversation.
Limits:Seed: 30 messages/mo · Vine: 500 messages/mo · Harvest: Unlimited
Tip:Be specific — “How can I apply Philippians 4:4 to anxiety?” gets a better answer than “what's this verse?”
How does the Prayer Journal work?+
The prayer journal is your private space to write prayers, track answered prayers, and reflect on your prayer life. Tap New Prayer, choose a category (Praise, Petition, Thanksgiving, etc.), write freely, and optionally set a follow-up reminder. Mark prayers as "answered" when God responds.
Privacy: Your prayers are 100% private — only you can see them unless you explicitly share with a study group.
Limits:Seed: 20 entries/mo · Vine/Harvest: Unlimited
What Bible features are available?+
All tiers include the complete KJV Bible with full text search, highlighting (color-code verses), bookmarking, personal notes, and cross-references. After downloading, you can read offline.
Use Reading Plans to read systematically. Seed: 1 active plan · Vine: 5 · Harvest: Unlimited.
How do Study Groups work?+
Study Groups are communities organized around Bible passages, topics, or shared interests. Browse and join groups from Community > Study Groups. Groups can be public (join instantly) or private (requires admin approval).
Limits:Seed: Join up to 2 groups · Vine: 10 groups + create your own · Harvest: Unlimited
How do Daily Devotionals work?+
Devotionals are short daily scripture reflections with a focus passage, reflection question, and application. Open Devotionalsto read today's, save favorites, or share to your study group.

Limits:Seed: 1 per day · Vine/Harvest: Unlimited
