About this episode

Dr. Tony Evans and Dr. Drew Dickens discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence and Christian faith, exploring the implications and responsibilities of using technology wisely.

Dr. Drew Dickens is a theologian, author and speaker who explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, spiritual formation and what it means to be human.
