Faith in the Machine: Can AI Help You Grow Spiritually?

Something interesting is happening in the faith world right now. Millions of Christians are opening their phones and asking AI chatbots spiritual questions. Need a quick prayer? Ask the bot.

But it's not all good either. So let's talk about what's really going on when faith meets the machine, and wh

Can AI Really Help You Grow in Faith? Here's the Truth

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or should I say, the algorithm in the sanctuary? AI is everywhere now. It's writing emails, answering questions, and even helping pastors draft sermons. So the big question everyone's asking is: Can AI actually help you grow spiritually? The short answer? Yes. But not in the way you might think. AI isn't going to replace prayer. It can't take communion for you. And it definitely won't stand in for the Holy Spirit. But here's what it

It makes sense, everywhere you turn, there's another app promising to help you pray, study the Bible, or even "chat with Jesus." As someone who's passionate about using technology to reach people for Christ, I'm excited about innovation. But I'm also deeply committed to truth. So let's talk honestly about what AI can and cannot do for your spiritual life. The Short Answer: No, a Chatbot Can't Lead You C

Fox News Review: Is the Turning Point USA Halftime Show the Future of Christian Entertainment?

Let me ask you something that's been on my mind: When did we stop having entertainment options that don't make us cringe or feel like we need to explain ourselves to our kids? The Turning Point USA "All-American Halftime Show" that aired opposite the Super Bowl halftime show got people talking: and not just because it was different. It got 5-6 million live viewers on YouTube, which tells us something important is happening in how believers are choosing to spend their time and
