Faith, Community, and Ministry Beyond AI

B2Upper-intermediateSeptember 25, 202644 min

Steve Guerra talks with Pastor Lance Ralston about how Christian teaching, ministry, and community are changing in an age of abundant digital content and artificial intelligence. They discuss the authority of teachers, the value of in-person church life, responsible uses of AI in research and sermon preparation, the limits of machine-generated ministry, and why human dignity cannot be reduced to productivity. Their conversation asks how churches can embrace new tools without losing relationship, spiritual discernment, and the gospel's account of what it means to be human. https://post.enduringword.com/author/lance/ #HistoryOfThePapacy #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEthics...
