Should Christians use artificial intelligence to write books, prepare sermons, study Scripture, or create ministry content? Dawain Atkinson and George Sisson tackle one of the growing debates within Christian and Reformed circles: how believers should think biblically about AI. They discuss authorship, plagiarism, theological accountability, sermon preparation, AI-generated error, and the difference between using technology as a tool and allowing it to replace the work God has entrusted to people. The question is not simply whether AI works. It is whether Christians can use it faithfully, responsibly, and with discernment. Subscribe to The B.A.R. Podcast and share this episode with someone thinking through AI and ministry.
