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

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.
