Technology has always shaped how Christians share the gospel—from the printing press to podcasts. But artificial intelligence is different. AI isn’t just a new tool… it’s positioned to change the very basis of how human beings live life. In this conversation, Dhati, Missie, and Sho Baraka sit down to wrestle through the ethical, spiritual, and practical implications of AI for ministry leaders and everyday disciples.
We talk about:
- the ultimate ambition of AI and what's at stake for humanity • How AI is changing writing, leadership, creativity, and spiritual formation
- Whether pastors should use AI for sermon prep, discipleship, or storytelling
- Where the line is between “productive tools” and “spiritual shortcuts”
- Why the call of the Christian is not simply production but abiding
- Why the church has historically been slow to adopt new technology — and whether that’s good
- The difference between ethical use and unhealthy dependence
- Otter.ai, Siri, Alexa, deep learning, automation & more
- Could AI replace human creativity? Should Christians be worried?
- And of course… some classic Sho humor along the way
This episode isn’t about fear-mongering or blind excitement — it’s about wisdom. How do we live faithfully in a world shaped by AI while still depending on the Spirit, not the algorithm?
