Does the world actually feel more unstable than it used to, or does every generation feel this way?

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, we talk about growing up in a seemingly simpler time, the Cold War, COVID, social media, nonstop news, algorithms, anxiety, and why today's constant stream of information can make it feel like everything is falling apart.

But what does Jesus actually tell us to do when the world feels frightening?

We look at what Scripture says about fear, anxiety, the end times, where we focus our minds, and what it means to remain faithful when the world around us feels uncertain.

Jesus never promised us a trouble-free world. In John 16:33 He said, “In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

Maybe the question isn't whether we can figure out everything that's happening around us.

Maybe the better question is: Are we living afraid, or are we living faithfully?

Join us as we talk honestly about fear, faith, information overload, and learning to keep our focus on Christ in an anxious world.

Should Christians use artificial intelligence? And when does a useful tool become something we're relying on too much?

In this episode of Faith is a Journey, we have an honest conversation about AI, Christianity, and where believers should draw the line.

We talk about using AI for work, research, Bible study, and even questions about dreams. But that leads us to a much bigger question:

Are we beginning to ask AI questions we should be bringing to God?

AI can provide an answer almost instantly. But a confident answer isn't necessarily a true answer, and it certainly isn't automatically a biblically sound one. That's why we believe AI can be a useful tool without becoming our authority.

We also talk about prayer, Scripture, discernment, distractions, our desire for instant answers, and the importance of slowing down enough to seek God rather than expecting technology to answer every question we have.

AI can be a tool. But it should never become our God, our Bible, or our spiritual authority.

As always, this is simply our personal conversation and understanding. We encourage you to open the Bible, study Scripture for yourself, pray, and come to your own conclusions.

Question for you: Do you use AI? Where do you think Christians should draw the line?

After 26 years of marriage, we've learned that lasting relationships aren't built during the easy seasons. They're forged through loss, hardship, forgiveness, and ultimately by putting Christ at the center.

In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, we share our story of building a Christ-centered marriage through raising a family, building a business together, walking through grief, years of spiritual wandering, and discovering how returning to Christ transformed our lives.

Our prayer is that our journey encourages you in yours and points you toward Jesus.

Scriptures referenced: Matthew 7:24-27, Ecclesiastes 4:12
