Artificial intelligence is everywhere—from classrooms and workplaces to government policies and even family conversations at the dinner table. But how should Christians think about AI, and what does it mean for our faith, identity, and future?

In this episode of Words of Life, we welcome back professor, author, and podcaster- Jason Thacker to discuss the rapid rise of AI since the release of Following Jesus in a Digital Age (Jason's previous book on the subject). Together, we explore how technology is reshaping our worldview, the questions we need to ask before rushing into innovation, and why believers can approach these shifts with both wisdom and hope.

You’ll hear conversations about:

  • The hype cycle of AI and why it feels like a cultural turning point.

  • How technology shapes our view of God, humanity, and community.

  • Why slowing down matters before uncritically adopting—or rejecting—new tools.

  • Encouragement that none of this catches God off guard.

If you’ve ever wondered what it means to follow Jesus in an AI-driven world, this episode offers clarity, challenge, and encouragement for the road ahead.
