As a Christian, I Went Down the AI Rabbit Hole. Here Are 12 Things I Discovered
If you read anything at all about AI, this would be a very good candidate. “Over the last few weeks, I’ve taken a deep dive down the AI rabbit hole, listening to podcasts, reading books, taking courses, and testing it myself. And let me say, it’s been a roller coaster ride of emotions, from dread at how this AI might eventually take our jobs and possibly even our freedom, to optimism about what AI could do for us.”
Different Uses for Different Questions
“When we observe a text, we collect all the raw materials for interpretation. And that which drives interpretation forward is the asking of questions.

Here are some things that we do – that might well be replicable – that may help you as you seek to encourage your church into service.”
Flashback: The Path to Glory
The road is narrow and perilous, often rough underfoot and steeply inclined. But if we are in Christ, we have the assurance that none of the struggles along the way are meaningless, that none of the trials are wasted and none of them unseen by God.
We want Christ’s power to be made perfect through us weak moms. So we will boast all the more gladly of our weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon us.
