    My heart goes out to Brother Brooks.

I’ve been yearning for you to address any subject matter that maybe related to race in the church.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How God Makes Us Strong
Q: Why do some Christians get sick or face illnesses despite strong faith?
Susie explains that healing and suffering operate within a mystery; faith is not merely about outcomes, and the example of Hebrews 11 shows many believers were faithful without receiving earthly promises. The emphasis is on trusting God and finding identity beyond illness, not on blaming faith.
AI: Getting Ahead of the Gathering Storm
Q: Is this AI a creation of God or a creation of the goddess world?
Drew responds that AI, like the printing press or Gutenberg, is created by God and can be used for good or evil; the key is discernment and alignment with biblical principles within a community.
Reaching Generation Alpha
Q: What is Gen Alpha's worldview and how should parents and churches respond?
Gen Alpha has a syncretic worldview formed by constant interaction with technology; the panel emphasizes equipping parents and churches to provide wisdom, discernment, and a relational gospel that engages kids where they are, rather than relying on big events.
A.I. in Ministry
Q: Can AI be used to aid Bible study and evangelism without replacing personal spiritual discipline?
Yes, AI can assist as a research tool and conversation starter, helping with context and cross-referencing, but it should never replace the Spirit's work or the essential human act of sharing the gospel in person.
A.I. in Ministry
Q: What does 'missional AI' look like in practice for pastors and church leaders?
Missional AI means building AI that serves human flourishing within a Christian worldview, using tools that reflect biblical values, training to help pastors be more effective in ministry, and participating in the broader conversation to shape technology for good.
