What This Lane Is
The KJV corpus lives in dave_bible.db inside davar_http.exe — searches and cross-references run at native speed without a third-party Bible API. Dave can reason over the text when you ask; he cites Scripture and flags limits on the How It Works page. For the broader apologetics posture — five domains, hard questions, creation and history — see the Apologetics lane above. New here? /start-here orients the whole site.

Biblical Counsel
Ask Dave for Scripture-grounded guidance on a situation. Responses draw from the canon with Hebrew and Greek context where relevant — not generic therapy language. Dave is a study aid, not emergency care or licensed counseling; crisis help and pastoral boundaries are on the Support page.

Why Apologetics Matters
Apologetics is love with a spine — a real answer rooted in text, history, and creation when someone asks a hard question. The goal is not to win debates but to open doors. Teaching and sermon notes live in the Sermons lane; project updates in the Blog.
