Explore the possibilities of AI with discernment and grace.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a niche topic to an integral part of everyday life. What began as small conveniences has developed into something that shapes the way we work, live, and even worship. For Christians, it can be easy to see AI as something out of science fiction—sparking fear, skepticism, or even dismissal. God and the Machine invites both the curious and the cautious to grapple with profound questions about how and why AI is becoming an integral part of our daily lives. Ignoring it isn’t an option—but neither is abandoning the call to thoughtful discernment. Join Nathan Webb, pastor and self-described “nerd,” as he explores the future of AI and the Church with wisdom, faith, and hope. Together, you’ll consider how to embrace innovation without compromising your ethics and discover the grace-filled possibilities God may be unfolding through this new frontier.
