Sanctuary — Private Beta

A note from the Founder

Thirty days ago, this idea didn’t even exist. Two weeks ago, it wasn’t even a project. In that short time, God has given me a clarity, wisdom, and vision for this that could have only come from Him.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. — James 1:5, KJV

Sanctuary is built and maintained by The Forge — and it’s yours to test first.

Sanctuary is an AI counsel tool — built for the moments you carry alone. The middle of the night questions. The hard conversations. The weight of life that doesn’t come with a manual.

Every response is reviewed against Scripture before it reaches you — not as a filter, but as a foundation. Arch, our theological review agent, checks every answer against the Word of God. It gets it wrong sometimes. That’s why you’re here.

You’re in beta. That means it’s not perfect. It may be slow. Something may break. That’s exactly why you’re here. You’re not just testing software. You’re helping steward something built for the Church.

Pressure test it with your honest feedback over the next 6–8 weeks. Use it for something real. A sermon question. A hard situation. A passage you’re wrestling with. Then tell me what you found.

This is limited to a small group. Your feedback will shape what this becomes — and I believe God will use it to reach thousands of pastors and believers across this country.

I’m grateful you’re here. Your willingness to test this, give honest feedback, and trust me with your time means more than I can say.

In Christ Alone, Michael McClanahan
