# Who made Lumin?

> Andrew Kittridge made Lumin. He is founder of Lumin, a Christian Bible AI companion for iPhone and iPad. He is responsible for the product claims, editorial position, and the Lumin Covenant. The site does not invent seminary credentials, celebrity endorsements, or testimonials it cannot document. AI helps organize study and sermons. It is not the author of anyone’s faith, and it is not a second founder.

## Anonymous spiritual software is harder to correct.

When a Christian AI speaks without a person behind it, a wrong citation has nowhere to go. E-E-A-T language in search is a pale version of an older Christian instinct: teachers should be known, and claims should be owned.

Lumin Faith and Lumin are the same product. Lookalike names such as Faith Lumen are separate. Andrew Kittridge does not speak for them. He does speak for the Covenant, the citation method, and the copy on this site.

## A name is not a halo. It is an address for correction.

Scripture does not name app stores. It does name people who can be known, corrected, and held to a standard.

### Not many of you should become teachers.

**James 3:1** — Lumin is not a teacher of the church. Publishing Bible answers still requires someone who will retract a sentence when it is wrong.

### Let another praise you, not your own mouth.

**Proverbs 27:2** — This page does not collect testimonials we cannot document. It names the builder and the public limits.

### Words are accounted for.

**Matthew 12:36** — Generated text still ships under a human decision to publish the prompts, the constraints, and the pages. That decision has a name.

### Shepherds watch a particular people.

**Acts 20:28** — Andrew is not your pastor. Lumin is not a parish. The founder’s job is to keep the tool from pretending otherwise.

### Renounce hidden things.

**2 Corinthians 4:2** — Citation method, translation label, and product limits stay visible. If a claim cannot be shown, it does not belong on the site.

### Not a sales pitch dressed as counsel.

**Galatians 1:10** — The founder note on the homepage is that Lumin was built for his own walk — cited, private, and quiet. That is a motive you can test against the Covenant, not a credential.

## Write. Check. Do not confuse the builder with a bishop.

Accountability is a practice, not a biography page.

### A citation on this site looks wrong

**Write support@lumin.faith.** Corrections stay open. The Covenant says the page changes only toward stronger commitments.

### You want pastoral care

**Go to your church.** A founder of an app is not your elder. Lumin will point you there on purpose.

### You saw a similarly named faith AI

**Check the domain and App Store id.** lumin.faith and App Store id 6754889412 are Lumin. Other Lumen-like names are separate.

### You want to know who trained the model

**Do not expect a secret doctrine engine.** Lumin is a companion that cites Scripture you can open. The public reader uses the Lumin Translation. The founder owns the product claims, not a hidden magisterium inside the weights.

### You want endorsements from famous pastors

**You will not find them here.** The site does not lean on partnerships or testimonials it cannot document.

### You want the legal identity of the site

**Use About and the legal pages.** About, privacy, terms, and data-deletion are public. The Covenant is the moral document.
