AI, Faith, & the Future: What Christians Need to Know About Artificial Intelligence

Back to Backstage
Join host Randy Phillips backstage with Pastor Michael Grayston for an eye-opening conversation about artificial intelligence, faith, relationships, and what it means to remain human in an increasingly artificial world. Michael breaks down what AI actually is, where its information comes from, and why this rapidly evolving technology can be both incredibly useful and deeply concerning. From the question “Is AI the Antichrist?” to the rise of AI companion bots and counterfeit intimacy, Randy and Michael explore what happens when a helpful tool begins replacing the relationships God designed us to have with one another. They also discuss practical ways parents can help their children navigate AI, the opportunities AI is creating in everyday life and medicine, and where believers should draw healthy boundaries when it comes to counseling, theology, and spiritual guidance. Whether you use AI every day or barely understand it, this conversation offers a practical, faith-filled perspective for embracing technology without allowing it to replace what makes us uniquely human.
