Frequently asked

 

What is BelieveWell4Life?

Well-made tools for practising a faith, with the research printed alongside: Voices of Faith, the Wisdom of Faith deck, The Sanctuary membership and the course Flourish Through Faith. It is part of a family of wellbeing brands created by Dr Alten du Plessis and runs on the FlourishIQ platform.

Do you teach doctrine?

No. We do not adjudicate between traditions or denominations, and nothing here claims to improve anyone’s standing with God. We offer tools for practices your tradition already holds.

Will this help my anxiety or depression?

We do not promise that. The research shows that the religious form of a practice deepens spiritual experience; it does not show it lifts mood more than a secular form. If you are struggling, please speak to a doctor or counsellor as well.

Why do you publish the studies that went against you?

Because a believer deserves to be told the truth about what a practice can and cannot be expected to do. When we say something does work, you then have reason to believe us.

What is Voices of Faith?

A free collection of passages from scripture, the classic Christian writers and modern voices, each checked against its source and arranged by the themes of an ordinary life. You draw one at a time.

What is the Wisdom of Faith deck?

A personalised card deck and ebook drawn from Voices of Faith, with your name on every card, emailed as PDFs within minutes of payment.

What are the five editions?

The same deck and ebook in five looks: Light & Landscape, Watercolour, Stained Glass, Symbolic and Illuminated. Each has its own set of 91 pictures, with no faces and no depictions of God, Christ or the saints.

Is the forgiveness module safe?

It begins with a screening step that asks whether it is safe for you to start — for example, if someone is still able to hurt you, the course points you to help first instead of to forgiveness exercises.

Which tradition is it for?

The first edition is Christian. Editions for other traditions follow in time, each built inside its own tradition.

What are Church Editions?

The Wisdom of Faith wrapped in pictures of a church, such as the Moederkerk in Stellenbosch or Canterbury Cathedral, with your name on the cover, for R249. Most use real photographs shared freely on Wikimedia Commons and credited in the book; A Church Family uses AI-generated images. None is made or endorsed by the church shown. A church with its own photographs can ask for a Congregation Edition.

Can my church have its own edition?

Yes. See Congregation Editions or ask for a quote.

What is The Sanctuary?

The BelieveWell4Life membership: your own journal on the Voices of Faith passages that speak to you, a practice journal for the week you are actually living, and short guided reflections to think a season through. No streaks, no scores. See The Sanctuary.

What does The Sanctuary cost?

R99 a month, or R999 a year. PayFast bills it automatically; the charge appears as FlourishTalk on your statement.

How do I cancel The Sanctuary?

Log in, open your Sanctuary page and press Cancel membership. PayFast stops the subscription at once and you are not billed again; you keep full access to the end of the period you have paid for. You can also email us.

Who can see what I write?

Only you. Your journal, practice journal and reflections are kept in your own BelieveWell4Life account and are not shown to other members. Because what you write can reveal your faith, we treat it as special personal information; see our privacy policy.

Is the course part of The Sanctuary?

No. Flourish Through Faith is a separate course on the FlourishIQ platform, with annual access. See Courses.

Can I get a refund?

If something has genuinely gone wrong (charged twice, charged in error, or you cannot use what you paid for), we put it right. A personalised deck that has already been made cannot be returned, and part of a membership period already paid is not refunded. The details are in our refund policy.
