Where is faith.tools going?
One weekend, I was deeply surrendering to the Lord faith.tools, not knowing the direction of where it should go. I surrendered and asked a simple question: “Lord, what do you want faith.tools to be?”
When listening, I wrote down everything that came to my mind:
A marketplace. A gathering place. A training ground for believers in tech. I want to grow it beyond your imagination. That my people who are called by my name would be in unity. Apps would talk to other apps. Friends and brothers revealed who were once competitors. A lifestyle of joy in linking arms and seeing the best revealed in one another, surrendered to My will and My heart. That no man would lack from tools to help encourage and enhance their faith journey. That no one would do it alone. Community is the key for the success, not finances, numbers, or rapid growth. Grow at the pace of relationship and see My hand of blessing over this. Have I failed you before? Will I fail you now? Don't fear "messing up". You cannot mess this up, because I won't let you. What I began, I can conclude. And what I began, I can put fuel to the flame. I am putting fuel to the flame. I am growing this. Not because of your passion or any crazy things you've done. I see your heart for unity, and it matches Mine. Go after the one. Go after the hearts of the one just like you. Those who create, code, design, and dream. I will be with you. I will support you. You will not be in lack. My plans for you are good. My desires for you are good. You cannot squander them.
Currently faith.tools is part of the 4th Missional Labs Accelerator cohort to gain relationships and wisdom.
What's the criteria for submission?
Here is the criteria for app and tool submission.
What do I mean by "best" or "top" Chrisitan apps?
"Best" or "top" christian apps is honestly a keyword to help people discover faith.tools on Google or other search engines.
What I don't mean is to demean any apps or app makers. And to be frankly honest, "best" or "top" are very subjective terms that are hard to prove. So, I have created selection criteria to help curate apps that are beneficial for Christians and their walk with God and community and are up to date and maintained.
faith.tools is all about unity amongst Christian creators. It's about uniting Christian developers and designers to collaborate and build something together. It's about showing the world the love and work of the Christian creatives in tech. While the keywords "best" and "top" may confuse a few, using those words will help reach many Christians and unreached people to discover apps that can help them grow in their walks with God and community.
This approach has proven to be effective, as faith.tools ranks in the top 10 on Google in many searches, such as:
I get what an app is, but what classifies as a tool?
In theory, almost all apps are tools to get a job done. What I mean by tool is something that's not on the App Store or Google Play store but is a digital product or service helpful towards equipping Christians and advancing the Kingdom of God. Think of tools like Tether for discipleship and VidAngel for video streaming content filtering on your favorite shows. A tool can also be a physical product like the Techless WisePhone II, which helps protect Christians from distractions and temptations modern smartphones afford.
faith.tools supports multiple types of platforms:
- Web, desktop, and mobile apps.
- Digital-only services, like a church website builder.
- AI tools, like a Bible study chatbot helper.
- Even physical tech products, like a simple, focused phone.

I see apps and tools, but what about the Christian creators?
I'm praying and asking the Lord what the next best step is for Christian community in tech using faith.tools. Is it highlighting creators stories? Is it creating a public directory of Christian creatives in tech? Is it creating a forum or Discord for them to connect?
You see. There are ministries doing things like that. I don't want to re-create the wheel, but rather link arms with existing communities.
There are some great Christians in tech communities available now that I encourage you to check out.
I will do my best to be your advocate.
