Do You Ask AI What You Can’t Ask in Church? w/ Tommee Profitt, Jon Keith & Lacy Abercrombie

Can AI replace church, pastors, sermons, prayer, or real Christian community? In this live Grown-Up Church Kids episode, Dwan Hill and Shama Mrema sit down with Tommy Profitt, Lacy Abercrombie, and John Keith for a funny and honest conversation about ChatGPT, AI-generated sermons, church hurt, hearing God’s voice, spiritual discernment, creativity, singleness, parenting, and why church still matters. From Whoop Triggers and “Pastor GPT” jokes to deeper questions about revelation, silence, worship, scandals, and healing, this conversation wrestles with what technology can help us do and what it can never replace. If you grew up in church, left church, stayed in church, or are trying to trust church again, this episode is for you.00:00 Can AI Replace Church?02:14 Welcome to Grown-Up Church Kids03:02 What Are Whoop Triggers?07:20 Church Is Not Like It Used to Be07:47 Do Christians Use AI?10:36 AI, Creativity, and the Image of God15:17 Questions You Would Only Ask ChatGPT20:04 AI Sermons vs. Holy Spirit Revelation21:36 How Do You Hear God’s Voice?22:28 Religion, Relationship, and Spiritual Practices27:16 What Kind of Church Did You Grow Up In?31:24 Growing Up Between Black Church and White Church35:10 God’s First Language Is Silence38:05 Why Church Still Matters for Families41:43 Singleness in the Church47:11 Critiquing Church From the Outside49:21 Deconstruction vs. Leaving Church50:17 Church Is Where We Practice Being Human53:24 Killing Our Critical Spirit55:29 A Word for People Hurt by Church58:06 Thank God for the Church01:02:31 The Church Is Alive and WellABOUT THE SHOW:Grown Up Church Kids is more than a show, it’s a full-circle moment where Sunday Morning Meets Real Life.
