    How Should the Church Respond to AI? | AI & the Church Ep. 1

    In this first episode of AI & the Church, Michael Whittle — VP of AI at Subsplash and founder of Pulpit AI — introduces the series and lays out the convictions behind it. He shares the story of building Pulpit AI, the surprising backlash from pastors and seminary professors when it launched in 2023, and how dramatically the conversation has shifted since then. This episode answers questions like: • Should the church use AI in ministry? • How are pastors actually using AI today? • Is AI a threat to the calling of the pastor? • What is the difference between what AI can do and what only a pastor can do? • How should church leaders think about AI tools for sermon prep, discipleship, and communication?
