AI is changing everything—how we think, work, lead, create…How about how we hear from God? Without realizing it, are we letting it reshape our hearts, our habits, and our spiritual lives, too?

Today, we talk with Carey Nieuwhof about the very real tension missionaries face when using AI for ministry. From sermon prep to leadership decisions, we explore how to use this tool with wisdom, where it may be subtly weakening us, and how to stay rooted in the Holy Spirit with all of the noise around us.

This episode will encourage you to stay curious but also rooted, as we look at how to use AI in ways that align with your calling and keep your heart sensitive to God.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How AI is already influencing your ministry, whether you realize it or not
• When AI becomes a helpful tool and when it starts replacing spiritual dependence
• Why using AI without discernment can lead to “brain rot” and spiritual drift
• How Carey uses AI for sermon prep and leadership without losing his voice
• What it looks like to stay mentally and spiritually sharp in the age of AI
