195 - Pastor A.I.

Artificial Intelligence isn’t going anywhere—and it may prove to be more transformative than any invention in human history. At the same time, the Church isn’t going anywhere either. Over the last century of rapid technological change, it has continually adapted and even expanded its ability to spread the gospel of love. So, what happens when these two forces collide? With AI now capable of processing and synthesizing information at a level far beyond any individual, this episode explores how it should—and should not—be used in ministry. Specifically, we dig into its role in Bible study, prayer, and biblical counsel. On this episode, biblical scholar, Marc Turnage, joins the podcast to unpack this concept with Jack Hoey, Lynne Story, and Joey Svendsen. Marc focuses especially on the benefits of AI—particularly how it can deepen our understanding of Scripture, which is what his new app, Ask Ezra, has great potential for.  DOWNLOAD: Ask Ezra: Your AI Bible Tutor  On this Episode | Marc Turnage | Jack Hoey III | Lynne Stroy | Joey SvendsenSeacoast Podcast is now on InstagramBe a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024. We'd love to hear from you.  E-mail Joey HERE. Producer/Editor/host: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: Katelyn Vandiver
