What Bible Chat does in a crisis
When a message sounds like danger, the companion shows a crisis line first, before anything else, even past the daily free limit, and stays with you while you reach out.
What it is not
Bible Chat is not a substitute for professional help, a doctor, a therapist or your parish. For something heavy and persistent, please talk to a professional too.
Stop or erase
STOP: no more messages we send first. START: turn them back on. PAUSE: quiet for a week.
To erase everything, ask “What do you remember about me?” and choose to forget, or contact us at support@thebiblechat.com (to confirm).
