Does AI Belong in the Church? with Matt Engel | Hot Topic Friday

Lead Time

Can AI truly transform the way ministry operates within the church? Join us on this thought-provoking episode of Lead Time Hot Topic Friday! We uncover the revolutionary potential of artificial intelligence in ministry alongside my good friend Matt Engel. We dive into the many facets of AI integration, from streamlining administrative tasks like email management and chatbots to enriching sermon content and crafting impactful social media snippets. But it's not all about efficiency; we stress the crucial importance of maintaining human connections and community engagement. We argue that AI should serve as a tool to enhance, not replace, the personal touch that is essential in ministry.
We also tackle the broader implications of AI for church leadership and governance. How can we ensure that these advanced technologies align with our theological traditions and ethical standards? Matt and I discuss the necessity of a solid theological framework and the role of church leaders in the thoughtful implementation of AI tools. Moreover, we reflect on historical shifts in technology, such as the advent of spreadsheets in finance, drawing parallels to today’s AI revolution. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and faith, offering rich insights for church leaders and communities navigating the evolving landscape of AI.
