Ep. 8 - AI Won’t Save Us: Technology, Humanity, and the Quiet Revival in Silicon Valley

As artificial intelligence grows more advanced—and more humanlike—how should Christians respond? In this eye-opening conversation, Rebecca Sheehan welcomes Jay Kim, lead pastor of Westgate Church in the heart of Silicon Valley and author of Analog Christian, for a timely conversation about AI, discipleship, and the sacred gift of embodied presence. Jay shares how his church uses AI thoughtfully, and how the Church can—and can’t—use AI to spread the gospel.They also explore whether there's really a spiritual shift happening in tech culture, what it means to be “formed into Christlikeness” in an age of distraction, and how Christians can reclaim attention, presence, and purpose in a world of algorithms.Jay also reflects on the subtle religious revival happening in Silicon Valley, and why intentionality is the key to staying rooted in faith amidst a world of distraction.Key Topics:How AI mimics—but can’t replicate—human experienceThe best and worst ways churches are utilizing AIWhy the future of spiritual formation is still analogA Silicon Valley pastor’s take on the so-called tech revivalGuardrails for Christians navigating the digital world📚 Explore Jay’s books at jaykimthinks.com📲 Follow Jay on Instagram @jaykimthinksAbout Fulfilled:Are you ready to deepen your faith and grow closer to God?The goal of each episode is to inspire and equip you to deepen your relationship with God and live out your faith in everyday life.
