The News
The Gospel Coalition recently published an article exploring how AI forces us to reconsider what human dignity actually is. The piece argues that if human worth rests on intelligence and computational ability, then machines win—but if human dignity is a "crowning gift from God," then no machine can automate it away or diminish it.
Why It Matters
Your congregation is living through the fastest technological shift in human history, and they're scared. People fear replacement, job loss, and meaning-making in an AI world. This is a pastoral moment. Churches need to help their people think biblically about what makes humans bearable image-bearers—not our productivity, IQ, or economic output, but God's design. This also opens conversations about tech sabbath, screen time, and preserving human connection in your church community.
The Takeaway
Preach or teach on human dignity grounded in Genesis 1:27 before your people absorb Silicon Valley's answer to the question "What am I worth?"
