The News
The Gospel Coalition recently featured a conversation between Christopher Watkin and Michael Keller exploring how artificial intelligence shapes spiritual formation and the loves that drive human behavior. The discussion centered on which habits keep us authentically human in an AI-saturated world.
Why It Matters
Your congregation doesn't just consume content—they're being algorithmically shaped by it. If we're serious about discipleship, we need to understand how AI influences what people desire, what captures their attention, and ultimately what they love. This isn't about rejecting technology; it's about recognizing that spiritual formation now happens in competition with intelligent systems designed to captivate human affection.
The Takeaway
Start a leadership conversation this month about how your church's discipleship process can intentionally counterbalance algorithmic formation with practices that anchor people in Christ-centered love.
