Artificial Intelligence is changing the world as we know it, but are we ready for what comes next?

This week on It's Just Not That Black & White, Doc and Rev dive into the rapidly evolving world of AI, sharing their thoughts on its potential, its risks, and what it could mean for the future.

From healthcare to religion, they explore how AI could transform their own professions, the ethical questions it raises, and whether technology can ever truly replace the human touch.

Is AI the key to a better future, or are we opening a door we can't close?

Two perspectives. One conversation. Zero easy answers.

In this raw and vulnerable episode of It’s Just Not That Black and White, Dr. Salerno shares his personal battle with Cyclospora, the microscopic parasite that has been making headlines. He breaks down the medical reality of the infection, how it spreads, and the practical steps everyone can take to prevent getting sick from contaminated food and water.

But that is only half the conversation. Dr. Salerno and Rev. Owens dive deep into the emotional and spiritual fallout of severe illness: why humanity is so deeply terrified of death, how we cope with our physical fragility, and whether it’s ever truly okay to express anger toward God when suffering strikes.

Welcome to the premiere episode of It’s Just Not That Black and White!

In this pilot episode, hosts Dr. Alexander Salerno and Reverend Dr. Dana Owens share the story of their unlikely 20-year friendship and the experiences that inspired this show. From medical school and seminary to the frontlines of healthcare and the pulpit, they reflect on their personal journeys and the perspectives that shape their conversations.

Together, they dive into the pressing challenges facing modern healthcare, discuss what America desperately needs more of right now, and share their candid takes on the growing cultural obsession with GLP-1 weight-loss medications.

And this is just the beginning! Join Dr. Salerno and Reverend Dr. Owens for thoughtful conversations that challenge assumptions, explore different perspectives, and tackle the issues that aren’t always black and white.
