Can Chatbots Pray? with Josh Liem

Being Human (in an AI age), Can Chatbots Pray? with Josh LiemMatthew 6:5-13; Romans 8:22-27What makes a prayer a prayer? This Sunday, in our Being Human (in an AI Age) series, we turn to Jesus’ teaching on prayer in Matthew 6 and Paul’s words about the Spirit’s “inexpressible groanings” in Romans 8. We’ll look at why prayer isn’t a way of controlling God, what Jesus shows us in Gethsemane, and why being prayed for by a friend is irreplaceable. For reflection & discussion: What’s the difference between a chatbot saying they’ll pray, or writing a prayer, or speaking a prayer through text-to-voice, and a human praying? What are your questions about prayer? (consider sending them to the Q&R) Discuss unaddressed gaps or questions or previous assumptions about prayer that may have been brought up in the sermon. What have been or are some of the hardest (un)answered prayers in your life? What is your current rhythm of prayer? Or, what keeps you from a rhythm of prayer? Who is someone you feel called to pray for? Consider reaching out to them if they’re not in this room.
