    There Is No One Christian View of Technology

    A Christian Perspective on the Neo Robot

    The first big consumer humanoid robot is here! It's called Neo and it is equally impressive as it is frightening. This provokes the big question - how should we as Christians respond?

    How Should Christians Talk About AI?

    How Should Christians Talk About AI? In this episode, we discuss how to gracefully (in loving kindness) and truthfully (without compromise) approach conversations about AI as Christians. We must seek to be thoughtful, be human, and be like Jesus.

  6. Becoming Gods: Theosis, Telos, and Transhumanism, with Wyatt Graham

    OCT 28

    Becoming Gods: Theosis, Telos, and Transhumanism, with Wyatt Graham

    Should humans be like God? Of course, yes! In what way? Should we adopt new technologies for the sake of transforming our bodies into a new techno-humanity? Some call this transhumanism, and according to our guest, Wyatt Graham, to understand transhumanism we must understand Fredrich Niche. In this episode we navigate the difference between becoming God and becoming like God, receiving our humanity rather than altering it. Wyatt Graham is the editor-in-chief for The Gospel Coalition Canada and an Adjunct Professor at various schools, including Redeemer University. Follow him on his Substack: http://wyattgraham.com/ Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Transhumanism and Theosis 02:33 Understanding Theosis 03:27 Defining Transhumanism 06:05 The Intersection of Technology and Humanity 10:20 Restoration vs. Augmentation 14:09 The Role of Death in Human Existence 19:13 Theosis vs. Transhumanism 23:27 The Nature of Love and Humanity 28:30 Cultural Implications of Transhumanism 33:11 The Future of Technology and Humanity Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WWJT Our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatwouldjesustech/ Our Discord: https://discord.gg/NVtkqDN9 Cohosted by Andrew Noble, Joel Jacob, and Austin Gravley.

    The AI Bubble: Reality or Hype?

    This AI moment isn't exactly the dot com boom, but is it close? Many think so, including people working at leading at AI companies. In this episode, not only do Joel Jacob and Andrew examine the reality of our AI Bubble, and how valuation is outpacing reality, but also the deeper values driving this bubble.

  8. TGC's AI Christian Benchmark, with Michael Graham

    OCT 8

    TGC's AI Christian Benchmark, with Michael Graham

    The Keller Center (a part of TGC) has conducted an important benchmark of seven leading AI models. These are the seven most used models in the world, and they do not give the same answers to theological questions. In fact, a Chinese model (Deepseek) had the top score. The Director of the Keller Centre, Michael Graham, joins us in this episode to share how AI models respond to theological questions and the implications for Christians. The conversation touches on the future of AI in pastoral care and the ethical considerations that arise as technology continues to evolve. Chapters 00:00 - Intro 01:25 - Cultural Apologetics 05:51 - Evaluating AI Responses to Theological Questions 20:27 - Missiological Implications of AI in Christianity for Pastors 31:11 Understanding AI's Limitations and Human Involvement 38:12 Engaging with Silicon Valley: A Christian Perspective Read the report for yourself: https://christianbenchmark.ai/ Cohosted by Andrew Noble, Joel Jacob, and Austin Gravley.
