AI is already shaping the way we search, learn, create, and even think. The question isn't whether Christians should engage with AI, it's how.

In this conversation, Alisa sits down with Ryan Pauly to wrestle with questions like: Can AI think? Does it have a mind—or does it just process information? Why does it so confidently get things wrong? And how can Christians avoid letting technology shape their worldview instead of allowing Scripture to shape the way they use technology?

They discuss:

Why AI is never truly "neutral"

The crucial difference between a mind and a machine

How technology quietly forms our habits and worldview

AI's tendency to hallucinate—and why that matters

Biblical principles for stewarding AI without becoming mastered by it

Practical ways to use AI while protecting wisdom, discernment, and human flourishing

Whether you're enthusiastic about AI or deeply skeptical, this conversation will help you think biblically about one of the most influential technologies of our time.
