Should AI Be Used in Church? (We Don't 100% Agree)

About this episode

The episode features a debate on the use of AI in church settings, discussing its implications for faith and spirituality.

This episode started with a church visit… and turned into a full debate about AI. Maurie and Jim talk about where AI is already showing up in religious spaces—from AI-generated visuals to the idea of using AI to help prepare sermons. And then they ask the bigger question: Should it? This isn’t a clean answer episode. It’s a real conversation about efficiency, meaning, and whether some parts of being human (like faith and spirituality) should stay completely human. If you’ve ever wondered where the line is with AI… this is one of those conversations.
