What Happens When AI Becomes Your Spiritual Guide?

In "Silicon Sanctuaries," host Drew vulnerably shares how AI guided him through grief over his grandson's death. The episode explores AI's emerging role in spiritual counseling—available when humans aren't, yet lacking authentic connection. Drew proposes the "Silicon Boundary": use AI as a spiritual supplement, never a replacement for human community and shared presence.
