What This Was For You is — and what it isn't.

We want to be completely honest with you about what This Was For You is — and what it isn't. This page is that honesty, written plainly.

Encouragement, not professional advice

This Was For You provides faith-centered encouragement. Nothing on this website, in our videos, emails, or resources is medical advice, mental-health treatment, legal advice, or financial advice — and none of it is a substitute for care from a qualified professional who knows your situation.

If you're struggling with your physical or mental health, addiction, or anything that's affecting your life, we genuinely encourage you to talk with a doctor, licensed counselor, therapist, or another qualified professional. Faith and professional help are not opposites. They can coexist.

Not a crisis or counseling service

This Was For You does not provide counseling, therapy, or crisis services, and our inbox and social accounts are not monitored around the clock. If you are in crisis, please don't wait on us — free, confidential help is available right now on our Need Help Now? page, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988).

Faith content

Our content reflects our Christian faith and our honest understanding of Scripture. It's shared as encouragement — a word for the season you're in — not as a promise of specific outcomes in your life. God's timing and your story are between you and Him.

How our content is made

In the spirit of the same honesty: AI tools may assist with production elements such as imagery, narration, motion, editing, research, or organization. Emotional truth, theology, pastoral judgment, and the final message remain human-authored. When realistic or meaningfully altered AI content is used, we use the platform-appropriate disclosure tools. AI is a production tool — not the source of testimony, doctrine, or spiritual authority.

Outside resources

Where we point to outside organizations — including the crisis resources on our Need Help Now? page — those are independent services. We share them because they can help, but we don't operate them and can't guarantee their services.
