AI and the Future Church

After studying AI deeply for the last two years, I believe it’s sending people running toward exactly what the church offers: real community, unchanging truth, and a connection that means something.

A world growing more artificial by the day is going to produce people starving for what’s real. And the church has been answering that hunger for two thousand years.

My book, AI and the Future Church, walks you through three shifts every church needs to make now to be prepared for whatever change AI brings.

Joni & Friends

Joni and Friends exists to bring Gospel hope and dignity to people living with disability—and they do it in a real, hands-on way.

Over 250,000 wheelchairs delivered internationally, tens of thousands of special needs families served at Family Retreats every year, and Bibles put into the hands of people who’ve never had access to one.
