AI and the Bible (Part 1/3): Is Artificial Intelligence Replacing Our Faith?

About this episode
In this episode, we ask a big, uncomfortable question: What does AI mean for our faith? I (Bob) have been obsessed with AI lately—not just how it works, but what it means. And Linda? Well, she's more on the "this-freaks-me-out" side of things. So this conversation got real… fast. We dive into: The theological implications of AI (yep, we went there). Why AI can reflect human creativity but will never have a soul. How idolatry sneaks in when we rely on AI more than God. Personal stories (like when our son was sick and we turned to AI first… before prayer). The Tower of Babel, the wisdom of God, and the crazy race toward immortality. Practical ways to steward technology without losing our soul. Whether you're a tech-savvy believer or a skeptical scroller, this episode will help you think deeply—and biblically—about the tech shaping our world.
