    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.

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

    28 OCT

    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. We are also joined by a special guest at the end of the episode, who tells us we did an excellent job.  Chapters: 00:00 Intro 03:27 Understanding Market Bubbles, Dot Com and Railroads 12:34 Circular Investments 15:47 Spiritual and Existential Inflation 18:40 Evaluating AI's Real Value and Potential Value 32:10 Moving Fast and Breaking Things 36:46 Yes, It's Kind of a Bubble 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.

    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.

  5. Altman, Musk, and Belief in God

    29 SEP

    Altman, Musk, and Belief in God

    Do tech leaders believe in God? What are the reasons why they tend to believe in what is material, but not what is immaterial? Is there anything beyond matter to an engineer in a secular age? When you've been trained on analyzing the nature of things, you struggle to consider a thing of supernature. Perhaps this is what has happened. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (ChatGPT), says he views the world as a tech-nerd, and therefore, in his own logic, he does not believe in spiritual things. Elon Musk is similar, as a clip in this episode shows. And just wait till you hear what Steve Jobs said! We all need God. And he's more real than we realize. 00:00 - Intro 3:00 - Why enchantment? What secular age? 14:00 - Sam Altman's lack of belief 20:45 - Elon Musk and the sensus divitatis 31:29 - Steve Jobs, "there must be more" 35:12 - We are NOT less enchanted We're hiring!

  6. Psychedelics: a Christian Evaluation, with Phil Cotnoir

    18 SEP

    Psychedelics: a Christian Evaluation, with Phil Cotnoir

    Is this trend something to be happy about? Many are seeing psychedelics as an "on-ramp" to pagan spiritualism *and* to Christianity. Psychedelics include LSD, psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms), DMT (found in ayahuasca), and mescaline (found in Peyote and San Pedro cacti). While various ethical concerns may be noted, there are also some apparent medicinal benefits. Is there room for nuance here? Or should we, as Christians, reject psychedelics completely? Phil Cotnoir is a husband, a father of four, an avid reader, and a freelance writer and editor. He recently wrote: - The Coming Psychedelic Moment at Mere Orthodoxy - The Psychedelic Renaissance: A Story of Hype and Hubris at The Gospel Coalition Keywords: psychedelics, technology, spirituality, Christianity, mental health, conversion stories, tech culture, ethical research, medicinal use, recreational use.

    Demons Can Use AI, Within Limits

    Yes, there is talk of demons controlling AI. Why wouldn't they? Why wouldn't they use Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude to influence humanity? And yet, we shouldn't go too far when thinking about their control. They are subordinated and limited by God. In this episode, we explore the intersection of spiritual warfare, demons, and artificial intelligence. We get into some personal experiences with demonic influences, and the theological framework needed when thinking about AI demons. 00:00 Intro 01:02 Yes, Demons in 2025 03:06 Limits and Influence of Demons 10:02 Physical Objects 13:51 The Nature of Idols, Demons, and AI 17:39 Cultural Phenomena and Spirituality 23:29 Power and Providence 35:33 Rebuking Demons Support the show at patreon.com/WWJT Please send your ideas and feedback to the cohosts, Andrew Noble, Austin Gravley, and Joel Jacob, at whatwouldjesustech@gmail.com.
