Abstract: Over the years, an increase in the need and want for spiritual guidance has increased in college students; the spiritual development they seek yields positive outcomes. College students turn to educational institutions for tools that provide spiritual guidance; therefore, we decided to find an alternative way of providing spiritual guidance to college students. The spiritual conversational agent, Reverend Claudia, was used for college students to turn to and seek spiritual guidance because there are situations that may cause embarrassment for students when they seek guidance from a live person. Reverend Claudia was compared to a text-only, spiritual website to assess which would provide more spiritual guidance for participants.
