SUBSPLASH Church leaders are staring at AI with a mix of fascination and, let's be honest, a fair amount of fear. But at Subsplash, they don't see AI as a way to automate ministry, they see it as a way to accelerate it. The goal isn't to replace the minister; it's to remove the administrative noise that keeps ministry staff stuck behind their desks instead of being present with people. It's all about stewardship: helping church leaders lead the mission while Subsplash leads the technology. subsplash.com/carey Brought to you by The Art of Leadership Network
