AI, Truth, and the Christian Mind with Rob McDole
from The Heidi St. John Podcast · host Heidi St. John
Should AI be your tutor? Your counselor? Your kid’s shortcut? Today we’re asking the hard questions about artificial intelligence and faith. My guest, Rob McDole of Cedarville University, explains why discernment matters more than ever, how closed AI systems work, and what it looks like to prepare students spiritually—not just technologically—for the future.
