About StillWaters
The story behind the tool — and the faith behind the company.
Why StillWaters Exists
StillWaters started with a simple, honest confession: I didn't know how to pray.
My girlfriend is deeply faithful. She prays multiple times a day — naturally, beautifully, without hesitation. When she'd ask me to lead a prayer, I'd freeze. Not because I didn't believe, but because I didn't know the words. I felt like I was doing it wrong.
So I built something to help. Not to replace prayer — but to open the door to it. A tool that could meet me where I was: uncertain, willing, but in need of a gentle push.
That's what StillWaters is. It's the companion I wish I'd had when I first started trying to talk to God.
What We Believe
We believe faith is a journey, not a destination. Some people have been walking with God their entire lives. Others are taking their very first step. Both are welcome here.
We believe technology should serve people — not distract them. StillWaters uses AI not to replace the sacred, but to make it more accessible. Every prayer generated is grounded in real scripture. Every devotional is written with reverence. Every feature is designed to bring you closer to God, not closer to a screen.
We believe prayer is better together. That's why StillWaters includes couples features, a community prayer wall, and tools for church communities. Faith grows when it's shared.
Our Values
❤ Faith First
Every decision we make starts with a simple question: does this honor God? Technology is the tool, not the purpose. The purpose is always spiritual growth.
🤝 Radically Free
StillWaters is free. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no ads. We believe access to prayer tools should never depend on what's in your wallet. This is a gift to the community.
🕊 Pan-Christian
We don't belong to one denomination — we belong to Christ. StillWaters is for anyone who wants to grow closer to God, no matter where they are on their faith journey. All are welcome here.
🔒 Privacy Is Sacred
Your prayers are between you and God. Prayers with personal intentions are never shared publicly. Your journal is private. Your data is never sold. Period.
The Company Behind StillWaters
Champlin Enterprises
We engineer thoughtful software for people and communities.
Champlin Enterprises is a faith-based software consultancy founded by Kevin Champlin. We don't just build apps — we engineer solutions that matter, for people who matter.
Our work spans SaaS products, web applications, and AI-powered tools — but what ties it all together is a conviction that technology should serve the common good. We believe the best software is built with empathy, crafted with care, and offered with generosity.
StillWaters is our most personal project. It wasn't built for a client or for revenue. It was built because Kevin needed it, and because we believe others need it too. It represents everything we stand for as a company: faith-driven, people-first, and built to last.
Meet Kevin
Kevin Champlin
Founder, Champlin Enterprises
Software engineer, SaaS builder, and a man finding his way in faith. Kevin built StillWaters after moving to a new city with his girlfriend — two people from different faith backgrounds learning to pray together. He understands that faith doesn't always fit neatly into one box, and that's okay. StillWaters reflects that journey: open, honest, and always growing.
How It's Built
StillWaters is powered by Claude AI from Anthropic — one of the most thoughtful and safety-focused AI models in the world. Every prayer, devotional, and scripture exploration is generated with care, grounded in real scripture, and reviewed for theological sensitivity.
The application is built on Laravel, hosted on our own infrastructure (not a faceless cloud), and engineered with the same standards we bring to enterprise client work. It's fast, secure, and designed to be around for the long haul.
