    Made for More Than Efficiency: A.I. and Its Empty Promises - 005
    2026/08/04
    What is the good that we are actually after? Every time we agree to a promise of efficiency – from adopting the use of machines in farming environments to wearing devices on our bodies that collect data – we submit ourselves to something much larger than what we can immediately see. The question is, how are those promises actually delivered, and what are their unintended costs? Part 2 of this AI series looks behind technology’s curtain, seeking to better understand how trust and honour ought to be built into the considerations we make when it comes to engaging with technology and Artificial Intelligence.SummaryCentral to this discussion around the use of Artificial Intelligence is the notion that virtue is not intrinsically baked into the technologies that are currently available to us. Given this fact, how do we – as consumers of all this technology – begin to consider how to use tech responsibly, with honour, and oriented towards the good? Further, how can we peel back layers of all that is bright and shiny in front of us so that we can see, with clear eyes and clear minds, the ulterior motives behind Silicon Valley’s technological masterminds? Pete and Jason continue to unpack their thoughts regarding what honourable use of technology can look like, urging listeners not to lose sight of the good, and not just for ourselves but for our neighbours as well. They paint a picture of what we might actually be after: a society filled with thriving human beings, unmastered by machines, humbly living embodied experiences. Pete and Jason round out the discussion by making a case for the type of environments that we need to foster in order to engage with technology with carefully discerned intentionality. Speakers BioPete White is the founder of Vocatio, an organization focused on restoring character and calling to the center of human life. Drawing from a wealth of life experiences – from his work as a carpenter in blue-collar environments, volunteering in homeless shelters, to nearly two decades as a therapist in private practice – Pete encountered the deep brokenness of the human experience in lives oriented away from the heart of God. He witnessed firsthand the fractures caused by addictions, poverty of mind, body, and spirit, broken relationships, and crises in identity and authenticity. His encounters have ignited in him a deep desire to see healing and wholeness, steeped in love, to the world around him. Today, Pete accompanies individuals and organizations in the process of clarifying purpose and life-calling, recovering their vocation as life-as-craft.

He has set the tone for radical pursuit of the way of Jesus in every area of our business, leading with vulnerability, intentionality, and pursuit of the human heart.

    Called to More: One Therapist's Unexpected Journey. (Vocatio Launch Conversation) - Special Episode
    2026/07/28
    While some colleagues and friends were already considering retirement, Pete found himself at a crossroads asking, “What am I going to do when I grow up?”. In this vulnerable conversation, Jason invites Pete to share his unexpected journey as he stepped away from nearly two decades of work in psychotherapy into an unchartered calling that carried with it various uncertainties. Pete dives into the movements of courage into the unknown, staring at fear in the face, and moving forward nonetheless into the direction of growth.SummaryJoin Pete and Jason as they mark the momentous occasion of the digital launch of Vocatio – an organization focused on restoring character and calling to the center of human life. This candid conversation takes listeners through Pete’s recounting of the internal battles he faced as he began to grapple with the idea that he was being called away from his private practice as a psychotherapist and into a different calling, for which he did not yet have a clarified idea as to how such a calling can practically take shape. Pete and Jason chat through the considerations around vocation and calling, and what it may look like when you come at a crossroads of considering a reiteration of your calling. Pete describes the nascent threads that have always been there throughout the different jobs he has held in the past that have all pointed to this vocational change decades down the line. Meanwhile, Pete also heralds the various people that have been put in his path – the heroes of the story, as he’d often describe them – and makes an offering of the various puzzle pieces that have come together to bring this heart-dream and aspiration into fruition.

  • The Cost of Convenience: AI, Humanity, and What We're Losing - 004

    The Cost of Convenience: AI, Humanity, and What We're Losing - 004
    2026/07/09
    ‘Look up. Who owns that camera?’This episode kicks off a new series on the movement of technology, the influence of AI, and the impact it all makes on our humanity. With unprecedented widespread access to technology, how many of us have taken pause and taken the implications of this “upward movement” into humble consideration? Most of us – knowingly or not – are hopping into the machinery that claims to move us forward, but where are we actually headed? SummaryThe movement of technology has long made a massive contribution to the progress of humanity throughout history, but the unprecedented advances of the Internet and widespread access to Artificial Intelligence in recent years have unarguably changed the course of how humans interact with machines. With the promise of Utopia on the horizon, what is the price that we pay, and what do we give up of our humanity? Jason and Pete enter into an honest discussion about their own discernment over the use of AI and how they wrestle with appropriating knowledge and accumulating information. Using ‘Biltong’, a South African cured meat, as an example, they dive into the intricacies of using technology to accrue information and how knowledge can then be weaved through stories in culture. They talk through the fallout that stems from the loss of sacred space, and how technology has changed the way we tell and transmit stories throughout generations. They lead the discussion into a consideration of when technology can become evil, when we become disconnected from transcendence, and what we need to do to stay vigilant in an era of rapid progress.Speakers BioPete White is the founder of Vocatio, an organization focused on restoring character and calling to the center of human life.
