AI in Faith: Strengthening Our Faith With AI
Welcome to the first episode of the "AI in Faith" podcast where we cover what this podcast is all about. Can artificial intelligence actually help us grow spiritually? Or is it just another distraction competing for our attention? In this conversation, we explore how AI can be used as a tool for deeper Bible study, better questions, stronger community, and more intentional discipleship, while also addressing the risks and blind spots Christians need to be aware of. We share why we started this show, what we believe about technology and faith, and what you can expect in upcoming episodes, from practical tools and workflows to big theological questions about wisdom, truth, and the future of the Church. This is not about replacing prayer, Scripture, or the Holy Spirit. It is about stewarding powerful tools well. Welcome to AI in Faith.
