Forming Digital Disciples in the Age of AI

In this episode of Called to Lead, Dr. John Rinaldo is joined by Meaghan Crowley-Sullivan, Curriculum and Professional Learning Developer for the iDEAL Institute at Loyola Marymount University.As technology—and specifically Artificial Intelligence—reshapes the landscape of education and social interaction, Meaghan reflects on how Catholic schools and parishes can move beyond "tech management" toward true digital formation using her Catholic Companion Framework. The conversation explores how we can empower young people to use technology with creativity, critical thinking, and a grounded sense of Christian ethics, ensuring that our digital tools serve the mission of the Gospel rather than distracting from it.
