New · Our eBook
We Turned Our Podcast Into an AI eBook We selected the top 40 episodes of our podcast, transcribed and summarized them (with the help of AI), to give you the best insights for living like Jesus in a technological age.
No Christian should figure out AI, social media, or any other technology alone. Technologists, theologians, and pastors must learn from each other. We believe Christians can lead the technological age through imitating Christ. Such an approach is neither anxious nor naive, neither nostalgic nor futurist, but based on the gifts of God’s Word and the church. Each page of this ebook is packed with biblical wisdom, theological depth, and practical suggestions for building and using technology in ways that honor God and love our neighbors.
Don’t be used by technology. Use it. Master it. Rule it to the glory of God.
