About Halo Heuristic
A faith-rooted space helping churches think wisely about technology and AI.We are a free resource hub rooted in historic Christian teaching, designed to be practical for everyday ministry. Whether you are a pastor, volunteer, or parent, we help you navigate the digital age with biblical clarity.
Our Mission
Technology is moving faster than ever. For pastors and ministry leaders, the rise of AI brings valid questions: Is this safe? Is this ethical? Does this honor God?
We believe the Church should not retreat from these tools, nor should we adopt them blindly.
Halo Heuristic is a research collective dedicated to vetting tools, creating policy frameworks, and exploring the theology of technology so that you can lead your congregation with confidence.
Why We Exist
In the last decade, the landscape of discipleship has shifted dramatically. The rise of AI, algorithms, and immersive online platforms is not just changing how we work, but how we think, relate, and worship. Pastors and ministry leaders today feel a distinct tension: the exciting opportunity to reach more people through technology, balanced against the very real risks of privacy, distraction, and the erosion of embodied community.
Too often, the guidance available is either purely secular—ignoring the spiritual dimension—or overly technical, leaving church leaders overwhelmed. Halo Heuristic was created to bridge this gap. Our mission is to equip the Body of Christ with trusted, accessible, and non-technical guidance for ethical tech and AI use.
— 1 Corinthians 10:31
Our Core Commitments
Scripture is our primary lens. We do not view technology as neutral, but as a power that requires active discernment. We refuse to conform to the patterns of the digital world, but seek to be transformed by the renewal of our minds.
Ref: Romans 12:2We prioritize people over products. In an age of data mining, we uphold the truth that every person is created in the image of God. Technology must serve human flourishing, never reducing congregants to mere data points.
Ref: Genesis 1:27We speak in plain language and operate with honesty. As a free resource supported by affiliate links, we pledge full disclosure and never recommend a tool that compromises pastoral integrity or Christian digital ethics.
Whether you are a rural congregation with one laptop or a multi-site church with a full media team, our resources are free and written in everyday language to ensure church tech discernment is accessible to all.
