In this episode, host Bidemi Ologundesits down with Preston Zeller to explore what it looks like to build technology that supports, rather than replaces, real human connection at the intersection of faith, grief, and emotional wellness. From Preston's 15+ years in tech leadership and business exits to his work on Psalmlog, an AI-driven tool designed to help Christians access Scripture-grounded guidance without losing the human touch of discipleship, they unpack the promises and pitfalls of "faith-tech." How do you design AI with privacy, safety, and spiritual integrity in mind? Where's the line between helpful support and unhealthy dependence, especially when someone is lonely or grieving? And what practices can help all of us develop a healthier relationship with technology in everyday life?
On the Bid Picture Podcast, I talk about big ideas, and Lembrih is one of them. Born from Ghanaian roots, Lembrih is building an ethical marketplace for Black and African artisans: makers of heritage-rich products often overlooked online. The vision is simple: shop consciously, empower communities, and share the stories behind the craft. Lembrih is live on Kickstarter now, and your pledge helps build the platform. Visit lembrih.com, or search “Lembrih” on Kickstarter.
