  • AI Is Coming for Everything… Except This

    AI Is Coming for Everything… Except This
    2026/03/16
    Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner dives into the wild world where AI and the church intersect, and trust me, it’s a ride you don’t want to miss. He kicks things off by hitting the nail on the head: AI can’t replace what the church is all about—love, community, and that good ol’ embodied presence. You know, the stuff that makes us human and not just another line of code. As he unpacks the future of church ministry, he emphasizes three key practices that we need to lean into: being radically present (because showing up is still a thing), fostering genuine community (not just a bunch of faces on a screen), and exercising prophetic discernment (because sometimes you've gotta call out the nonsense). So, if you've ever wondered how the church can thrive in this tech-saturated age without losing its soul, this convo’s for you. Grab a seat, kick back, and let’s figure out what being the church looks like in a world buzzing with algorithms and AI. The landscape of faith is changing, and it’s time to face the music! Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner dives headfirst into the chaotic dance between the church and the rapidly evolving world of AI and technology. He’s not here to sugarcoat things; he’s got a front-row seat to the madness and is ready to unpack what it all means for our beloved church. Let’s face it, AI is making waves, and some church folks are still trying to figure out how to plug in their Wi-Fi, let alone navigate the digital age. Dr. Skinner argues that while technology can churn out information faster than you can say 'Holy Spirit,' it can’t replace the raw, messy, beautiful essence of community. He emphasizes the need for the church to lean into genuine presence and prophetic discernment. After all, AI can’t hug you when you’re down or share a meal with you during life's ups and downs. It’s the tangible love and embodiment of community that distinguishes the church in this tech-heavy era. So, buckle up and tune in as we explore how the church can remain a beacon of hope and love amid the tech storm!Takeaways:AI might be the shiny new toy, but it can't replace the love and presence that the church embodies. Seriously, have you ever seen a robot give a hug?In the next decade, the church better step up its game with real community and discernment, or risk becoming just another digital echo in a sea of algorithms.The church's mission has always been about physical presence and genuine connection; if we think AI can do that, we really need to rethink our priorities.Let's be real: artificial intelligence may help with logistics, but it can't offer the comfort and companionship that only a fellow human can provide.Resources:Canoeing the Mountains by Tod Bolsingerhttps://www.amazon.com/Canoeing-Mountains-Christian-Leadership-Uncharted/dp/0830841264The Wounded Healer by Henri Nouwenhttps://www.amazon.com/Wounded-Healer-Ministry-Contemporary-Society/dp/0385148038Richard Rohr’s Contemplative Wisdom (Center for Action and Contemplation)https://cac.orgThe Kingdom of God is Here and Now (Dallas Willard lecture series)https://conversatio.org/the-kingdom-of-god-is-here-and-now/Desiring the Kingdom by James K.A.

  • Jesus Wept: The Essential Humanity Missing in AI

    Jesus Wept: The Essential Humanity Missing in AI
    2026/03/09

    Let’s dive right into it: AI might seem like it’s got empathy down to a science, but let’s not kid ourselves; it’s all a simulation. In this episode, Dr. Skinner breaks down how while AI can mimic compassion, it’s about as deep as a kiddie pool—no real understanding of human suffering here, folks. We also chat about the church’s crucial role in fostering genuine community and embodied presence, especially when people are feeling more isolated than ever. You know, instead of letting a chatbot do the emotional heavy lifting, how about we show up for each other? Jesus wept at Lazarus’ tomb, and that’s a pretty solid reminder that real ministry comes from being present and sharing in each other’s pain. So grab a comfy seat, pour yourself a cup of whatever, and let’s explore how we can bridge that empathy gap—because the church has a unique calling to step into the messiness of life, not just observe from the sidelines. In a world where technology often overshadows human connection, this episode delves into the critical conversation surrounding AI's role in empathy and the church's mission to provide genuine presence. Dr. Skinner shares the story of a widow who, feeling isolated in her grief, turns to an AI chatbot for solace. This moment serves as a stark reminder of the loneliness many face and prompts us to question why our communities sometimes fail to provide the support that people desperately need. The discussion highlights the limitations of AI in truly understanding human suffering, contrasting it with the church's potential to embody compassion through real relationships. The episode also touches on the theological aspects of presence, drawing parallels to Jesus' emotional response to Lazarus' death. Dr. Skinner asserts that empathy is not just about knowing the right answers, but about being willing to share in others' pain. This understanding calls the church to action, encouraging it to foster environments where people can truly be known and supported. As technology continues to advance, the church must not shy away from its mission to offer authentic community and care. Practical implications are discussed, including the need for churches to train members in the ministry of presence, address the epidemic of loneliness, and utilize technology to enhance, not replace, personal connections. Ultimately, the conversation is a clarion call for the church to embrace its unique role in a world longing for genuine human interaction.

    Takeaways:

    1. AI might sound empathetic, but let's be real, it can't truly suffer or understand your pain like a human can.
    2. The church's unique role is all about genuine connection and community; we can't let technology take that away from us.
    3. Loneliness is a growing problem, and we need to step up as a church to provide real relationships, not just digital interactions.
    4. Training in the ministry of presence is crucial; we need to learn how to genuinely listen and connect with others in their suffering.

  • Formed by the Feed — Discipleship, Discernment, and the Age of AI

    Formed by the Feed — Discipleship, Discernment, and the Age of AI
    2026/03/03
    What happens to your soul when you let an algorithm do your thinking? Spoiler alert: it’s not great. In this episode, Dr. Jeffery Skinner dives into the sneaky ways AI and digital platforms are reshaping our conscience and dulling our discernment. You might think you’re just scrolling through memes or getting your daily news fix, but you’re actually sidelining the part of you that wrestles with deeper questions about faith and morality. It’s like outsourcing your soul's workout to a couch potato. We’ll explore how this digital age affects our spiritual growth and discernment, and why it’s crucial for us to reclaim our ability to think critically and seek God authentically. So grab your headphones, and let’s get into why your soul might be missing out on some serious gym time while you’re busy clicking ‘like’ on everything.Scripture ReferencesRomans 12:2 — Transformation through the renewing of the mindHebrews 5:14 — Mature believers train themselves to discern good and evilMatthew 25:14–30 — The Parable of the TalentsLuke 6:40 — A disciple, when fully trained, will be like their teacherActs 15 — The Jerusalem Council as communal discernmentGalatians 5:13–25 — Life in the Spirit and formation of character1 Timothy 4:7–8 — Training in godlinessJAMES K.A. SMITH — Desiring the Kingdom & You Are What You Love Smith’s big idea is that we are formed by what we habitually do, not primarily by what we intellectually believe. He draws from Augustine — we are lovers before we are thinkers. Our desires are shaped by repeated practices, or what he calls cultural liturgies.The Wesleyan Arminian angle: Smith gives us the mechanism of formation that Wesley always assumed but didn’t systematize. Wesley’s class meetings, his means of grace, his disciplined rhythms — these were all essentially liturgical formation practices. Smith helps you articulate why they worked and why their absence hurts.Key ideas to track down:∙ Liturgy as desire formation — practices shape loves before the mind engages∙ The mall as cathedral — his famous illustration of secular liturgies forming us toward consumption∙ Counter-formation requires intentional, embodied, communal practiceALAN JACOBS — How to Think (2017)Jacobs is winsome, careful, and genuinely funny. His core argument is that thinking well is not primarily an intellectual skill — it’s a moral and social practice. We think badly not because we’re stupid but because we’re embedded in communities that reward certain conclusions and punish others.He introduces the idea of the “inner ring” — borrowed from C.S. Lewis — the social pressure to think like your tribe. Algorithms weaponize the inner ring. They identify your tribe, amplify its voice, and make departure feel socially costly.Key ideas to track down:∙ Thinking as a communal practice that can be corrupted by social incentives∙ The “repugnant cultural other” — his term for how we’re trained to caricature those who think differently∙ Charitable interpretation as a spiritual disciplineJOHN DYER — From the Garden to the City (2011)Dyer is the most theologically careful of the group and writes from an evangelical framework that translates well into Wesleyan categories. His central argument is that technology is never neutral — it always shapes the user, not just the world the user acts on.He traces this from Genesis forward. Every technology from agriculture to the printing press to the smartphone changes what humans pay attention to, what they value, and ultimately who they become.Dyer gives biblical and historical credibility. This isn’t a panic about modern machines — it’s a pattern as old as humanity. The question has always been whether we are using tools or being used by them.Key ideas to track down:∙ Technology as transformation — it changes us, not just our circumstances∙ The Babel narrative as a technology cautionary tale∙ The difference between tools that extend human capacity and tools that replace human judgmentTRISTAN HARRIS — Humane Technology WorkHarris is not a theologian but he is our most credible secular witness. As a former Google design ethicist he speaks from the inside. His core argument is that social media and AI are not neutral platforms — they are persuasion engines optimized for engagement, which means optimized for outrage, anxiety, and compulsion.His most useful concept for your episode is “the race to the bottom of the brain stem” — the competition among tech companies to capture attention by appealing to the most reactive, least reflective parts of us.For Wesleyan Arminian framework: Wesley was deeply concerned with what he called the “carnal mind” — the unregenerate, reactive, self-centered orientation of the human soul. Harris, without knowing it, has mapped the technology infrastructure that feeds the carnal mind and starves the renewed one.Key ideas to track down at ...
