George Whitefield Tried to Kill Me

I expect there’s a good number of pastors (and non-pastors) who would benefit from reading this one.

AI is Here: The Precocious Adolescence of Artificial Intelligence

“AI is here. We knew it was coming, but it feels too soon. Like when your little boy’s voice breaks and you suddenly realize he needs deodorant and a shave.” Clint has quite an interesting reflection on AI and ChatGPT here.

The Blessing of Forgiving Our Parents
