  • Is AI Really the Devil? - Pastor Keith Odom | Faithly Podcast

    Is AI Really the Devil? - Pastor Keith Odom | Faithly Podcast
    2026/09/01
    Today on the podcast, Alicia Lee and special co-host Rev. Elliot Johnson welcome Pastor Keith Odom, Director of Technology for the Church of God in Christ, Lead Pastor of The Place of Grace Church, and Founder and CEO of Axtegrity Consulting, for a pertinent conversation about AI and the future of technology in the Church. Keith shares how his lifelong interests in both ministry and technology eventually converged through a career that included work at the renowned MIT Media Lab and now allows him to help churches navigate an increasingly digital world. Drawing from his experience as both a pastor and technology leader, he explains why churches should view technology as a tool that can support the delivery of the gospel rather than something to fear. From AI-powered language translation and accessibility tools to sermon content, discipleship resources, and digital outreach, Keith explores practical ways emerging technology can expand what churches of every size are able to accomplish. Together, Alicia, Rev. EJ, and Keith also address the very real risks surrounding AI, including deepfakes, misinformation, and the need for churches to become educated rather than simply reactive. Keith challenges Christian leaders to bring technology experts already sitting in their congregations to the table and to develop intentional technology ministries that support the broader mission of the church.

  • Learning to Work With God - Dr. Kimberly Nash Alexander | Faithly Podcast

    Learning to Work With God - Dr. Kimberly Nash Alexander | Faithly Podcast
    2026/08/25
    Today on the Faithly Podcast, Alicia Lee and special co-host Rev. Elliot Johnson welcome Dr. Kimberly Nash Alexander, Founder of Deeper Roots SoulCare, spiritual director, ministry leader, and longtime pastor’s wife, for a thoughtful conversation about spiritual formation and learning to trust God through every season of life. Dr. Alexander reflects on the experiences that shaped her faith, from her early years in Catholic school to a career in speech-language pathology, where she first began developing the deep listening skills that now inform her work as a spiritual director. She shares how God taught her to resist the pressure to follow a traditional career timeline and instead pay attention to the specific season He had placed her in. Whether raising her daughters, supporting her husband in pastoral ministry, or eventually stepping fully into her own calling, Dr. Alexander explains why no season is wasted when we remain attentive to what God is doing in us. As their conversation continues, Alicia, Rev. EJ, and Dr. Alexander explore the unseen pressures of ministry and the importance of healthy community, before discussing the necessity of creating space for leaders and volunteers to rest. Dr. Alexander challenges the idea that our worth is tied to how much we accomplish, reminding listeners that serving God should flow from relationship with Him rather than constant striving. Through her work with Deeper Roots SoulCare, she encourages Christian leaders to slow down and listen deeply, rooting their identity in Christ so they can become who God is forming them to be, rather than simply doing more.

  • Expanding Your Vision For Ministry - Elder John Cager | Faithly Podcast

    Expanding Your Vision For Ministry - Elder John Cager | Faithly Podcast
    2026/08/18
    This week, Alicia Lee and special co-host Rev. Elliot Johnson welcome Rev. John Edward Cager, Presiding Elder of the Midwest North District of the AME Church, for a candid conversation about pastoral leadership, church growth, and what becomes possible when churches move from a mindset of “I” to “we”. Rev. Cager reflects on initially resisting God’s call to ministry and the journey that eventually led him into more than three decades of service. Drawing from 25 years as a pastor and his current work mentoring and supporting pastors across his district, he explains why being called to ministry does not necessarily mean being called to the pastorate, and why success in ministry should never be measured by someone else’s platform. Whether serving three people or 3,000, he encourages Christian leaders to focus on the specific gifts, responsibilities, and assignment God has placed before them. Throughout their conversation, Alicia, Rev. EJ, and Rev. Cager explore the importance of authenticity and integrity in Christian leadership, as well as the vision and flexibility churches need to meet the challenges of a changing world. From finding creative approaches to church finances and embracing technology to better connect with congregations, to drawing on the gifts already present within the pews, Rev. Cager challenges pastors to think beyond traditional models of ministry. Ultimately, he makes the case for greater collaboration across churches and denominations, reminding leaders that when we move beyond competition and work together for Jesus Christ, we expand our capacity to build the Kingdom.
