What Is Lapsarianism? (Millicent Sedra, AI Hoaxes, and the Future of AGI)

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and guest Chris dive into a wide-ranging discussion on theology, technology, and cultural discernment. We start by looking at the viral preaching of Millicent Sedra and discuss the biblical perspectives on women in the pulpit. Then, we get into the "niche" but fascinating world of Reformed theology to answer: What is Lapsarianism? We break down the logical order of God’s decrees—specifically Supralapsarianism vs. Infralapsarianism—and why Chris finds himself leaning toward Sublapsarianism. On the tech front, Chris shares his hands-on experience with "Moltbot" (formerly Open Claw), a precursor to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that can actually run your computer for you like a real-life Jarvis. We also debunk recent viral AI hoaxes about "AI social media" and "AI religions," while discussing the real-world frustrations of rate limits and the massive computing power required for the future of AI. Plus, Chris gives a real-time update while his car navigates him to Chick-fil-A—including how the "self-driving" AI reacts when it knows you're talking about other AIs!
