The three guys are back this week with special guest Nathan Leamer (CEO, Fixed Gear Strategies) to discuss artificial intelligence (AI). As CEO and Ruling Elder (PCA), Nathan navigates the intersection of technology, public policy, and the kingdom of God in this insightful and engaging conversation. Of note, Barry learns what LLM means and also drives a truck (not a car) throughout the episode.
Kyle tees up the topic of artificial intelligence, highlighting its impact on the perception of truth, discipleship, and what it means to be human. Nathan Leamer introduces himself, focusing on how the Lord maneuvered him into his present roles. Kyle asks Nathan to share why he believes that AI is something that needs to be discussed by Christians. Nathan gives a helpful definition of AI and also explains how it works. Kyle invites Nathan to speak about the healthy perspective Christians can hold when engaging the topic of AI. Nathan shares why the church can be hopeful in the conversation, rather than being filled with dreadful woes of “doom and gloom”. The guys discuss how Christians might leverage AI for the kingdom of God. Nathan covers various benefits of AI, pairing these cautiously with safeguards for AI engagement. Kyle asks Nathan to help listeners consider what virtues will be most needed as AI becomes a part of everyday life. Nathan shares beginner resources for exploring AI and also gives advice for Christians who might be navigating AI for the very first time. Nathan encourages the church to get involved in public policy and to be an essential part of this significant conversation.
Are you curious about artificial intelligence? Are you fearful of this cultural quantum leap? Do you have questions about how the church can wisely navigate such an exciting and complex development? Tune in this week for an encouraging and faithful conversation. While this episode may not answer all of your questions, it will certainly leave you filled with hope in God’s sovereignty for the days ahead!
