What Churches Are Getting Wrong About AI Right Now

About this episode

This episode discusses the common mistakes churches are making with AI and how to use it effectively in ministry.

AI is here and it is not going anywhere, but the way many churches are using it right now is doing more harm than good. In this episode we are getting honest about the most common mistakes church leaders are making with artificial intelligence and what it is actually costing their ministry in trust, authenticity, and effectiveness. We are strong believers in the power of AI as a ministry tool, but only when it is used with the right strategy, the right boundaries, and the right understanding of what it can and cannot do. This conversation is not anti-AI. It is pro-wisdom, and it is for every pastor and church leader who wants to use this technology in a way that genuinely serves their calling and reaches their community. Walk away from this episode with a clearer picture of how to make AI work for your ministry instead of against it.
