What does it look like for Christians to wisely engage with artificial intelligence? Is there a place in our discipleship to mobilize AI as we spread the good news of Jesus? Is AI a neutral tool that can be leveraged for good, or is it inherently evil or dangerous?

What is God’s will for my life? It’s one of the most common—and most important—questions Christians ask. In this episode, Tripp Almon from Stand to Reason joins Dr. Jeff to tackle this profound topic. Together, they explore what Scripture reveals about God's will, how to discern it in daily life, and why our understanding of God's character is essential to the process. Whether you’re facing a major decision or simply seeking to live more faithfully, this conversation will encourage and equip you to walk with clarity, confidence, and trust. Let’s dive in!

Tripp Almon serves as the Outpost Coordinator and a speaker with Stand to Reason. He is from Newnan, Georgia (just south of Atlanta) and now lives in Colorado with his wife, Megan, and their kids, Neely and Rogan. Tripp’s passion for educating students of all ages in the areas of Christian theology, worldview, and apologetics is driven in large part from growing up in a Christian home and then struggling profoundly with the tidal wave of cultural ideas that engulfed him as he entered a secular university. Thankfully, his experience taught him that Christianity not only stands in the marketplace of ideas — it soars.

Before joining Stand to Reason, Tripp, a former elite gymnast, coached gymnastics for more than two decades. He served as a pastor for 10 years, and was the Gap Year Director at Summit Ministries for 7 years. He and his family love the outdoors and adventure sports, particularly off-road motorcycling. Tripp is also a rally car co-driver with Almon Brothers Racing Team. He and his brother were 2017 champions of the NASA Rally Atlantic Cup Series. Tripp loves when he and his wife, Megan, get to speak and serve at events together. If you'd like Tripp to speak at your church, conference, or event please contact him at Tripp@str.org
