Bible Journey — Community Guidelines
Last updated: August 27, 2026
Bible Journey's community spaces (your reading circle's prayers and comments) exist to accompany Bible reading and to pray for one another. They are private spaces for your circle — not public social networks. These guidelines keep them healthy.
1. What we expect
- Dignified treatment. Speak to others as you would at your congregation: with respect, even in disagreement.
- Confidentiality. What is shared in the circle (especially prayer requests) stays in the circle. Do not copy or share it outside without the author's permission.
- Your own requests. Share what is yours; if you share a third party's situation, do it with their permission or without identifying details. Anonymous posting is available.
2. What is not allowed
- Personal attacks, mockery, harassment or discrimination of any kind.
- Sexual, violent or illegal content.
- Spam, sales, chain messages or deceptive links.
- Impersonating another person.
- Exposing third parties' personal data (phone numbers, addresses, other people's diagnoses).
- Using these spaces for hostile debate; doctrinal disagreement is discussed with respect or taken to pastoral conversation, not to the circle's board.
3. How moderation works
- Automatic filter: when you post, an automated system may hide content that clearly violates these guidelines and send it for human review.
- Reports: any member can report a prayer or comment from the app. Reports are reviewed by the circle leader or your institution's administrator.
- Blocking: you can block a user and stop seeing their content.
- Decisions: content that violates these guidelines will be hidden. Repeated or serious behavior may result in removal from the circle or suspension of community spaces. The biblical text and your personal reading are never affected.
4. A pastoral note
If you share something sensitive (health, family crisis, grief), thank you for your trust — your circle is there to pray with you. If someone shares that they are in danger or thinking of harming themselves, tell your leader or pastor immediately: the app is no substitute for personal care.
