In this final episode of our 3-part series with Jason Thacker, we continue an important conversation about faith, wisdom, and technology in the digital age. From the rise of AI to the everyday challenges of social media, today’s discussion reminds us that these aren’t just “new problems”—they’re age-old questions showing up in fresh ways.

We talk about asking deeper questions like “Should we?” versus “Can we?” when it comes to using AI, and the importance of remembering what it means to be authentically human in a world that blurs the line between man and machine.

We also dive into the role of education, parenting, and discipleship when it comes to training the next generation to think critically, resist shortcuts, and cultivate wisdom in how they engage with digital tools. Plus, we introduce The Student’s Guide to Social Media—a practical resource designed to help teens (and parents) reflect on how online platforms are shaping their lives and faith.
