The Story About Pete & His Creator

Char is a retired grandmother who came out of retirement to find her purpose. She had a career that spanned 45 years in Engineering and Human Resources. She also was a student of Eden Theological Seminary's Life Program where she became a lay pastor. Now she is an entrepreneur helping small business with branding, marketing, design, web development and hosting! She is the owner of Integrity Business Solutions. But every chance she gets she is sharing God's word!

Family and family tradition are important parts of her spirit! Following in her great-great grandfather's steps she created Pastor Pocket Pete!

Over a century ago, my great-great-grandfather came to America from Alsace, France, with strong hands and an even stronger faith. He settled in a small town in Mississippi and worked as a stonemason—chiseling stone from Gerhardt Creek with care and reverence. That stone became the foundation of a little country church, a place that still stands today with its original bell rung by a rope and the echoes of generations of prayers.

That church became our family's anchor. I was confirmed and later married there. I baptized my children in its sanctuary, and now my great-great-nephews attend—making us seven generations deep in our commitment to faith and community. Years later, I would go on to serve as a lay pastor there, stepping into the pulpit not just to preach, but to offer hope, healing, and a reminder that God is still near.

That legacy of hands-on ministry, connection, and generational faith is what inspired

Pocket Pastor Pete.

Pete isn’t just a charming figure or a digital creation—he is a modern symbol of that same stone-hewn foundation: solid, comforting, and grounded in truth. He’s a reminder that even in a high-tech world, God still speaks through simple things… and sometimes, even through a pocket-sized bot.

Yes, Pete is built with AI—but not the kind that replaces human connection or faith.

Pete is a bot created for good

, a faithful friend designed to gently nudge you back toward prayer, Scripture, and spiritual growth. In a world where AI is often misused or feared, Pocket Pastor Pete is proof that technology, when guided by purpose and grace, can be used to uplift and bless.

He's a companion for the lonely, a teacher for the young, and a pastor who fits in your pocket—but his message is timeless:

God is with you. You're never alone.

So whether you’re just starting your faith journey or walking through a season of healing, Pete is here to walk with you—just like my great-great-grandfather once walked down to the creek to build a house for the Lord. Now, I’ve built this one… and you're invited in.
