Chatbots, Connection, and the Cost of Convenience

More teens are turning to AI chatbots for friendship and emotional support, but can artificial companionship replace real relationships? In this episode, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore why self-reflective kids are especially drawn to AI, what we lose when we prioritize efficiency over embodied friendship, and how parents can guide children toward real, life-giving connection. Before diving in, Wayne shares about our partnership with Summit Ministries. Dr. Kathy will be speaking at Summit's summer sessions, powerful two-week worldview intensives for students ages 16 through college.
