🎙️ This week on Chasing Faith with Dorothy Lucey, Dorothy and Jason kick things off with a lively conversation about Botox, plastic surgery, Ozempic, vanity, Lent, meditation, and the challenge of becoming more authentic.
Then they welcome Greg Cootsona, Executive Director of AI & Faith, for a fascinating conversation about the intersection of technology, Christianity, science, and truth.
Greg shares his unlikely path from a nonreligious upbringing in Silicon Valley to becoming a Christian at UC Berkeley, a Presbyterian minister, and now a leading voice in the conversation around faith and artificial intelligence. He explains why science and religion are not necessarily in conflict, how neuroscience can deepen our understanding of love and community, and why the church should engage AI instead of simply fearing it.
Dorothy and Jason also ask the questions many people are wrestling with right now: How will we know what’s true in the age of AI? Should pastors use AI to write sermons? Can technology be used in ways that actually support faith rather than undermine it?
It’s a smart, thought-provoking episode about truth, authenticity, human connection, and where God fits into a fast-changing world.
