Send us Fan Mail The biggest myth in ministry right now is that AI replaces pastoral work. Unethical leaders use it as a shortcut; smart leaders use it as a force multiplier. If you load your own research, study notes, and frameworks into the tool, you aren't passing off work you didn't do; you're training an assistant to help you answer emails, streamline visitor assimilation, and automate busywork. Pair that system with intergenerational mentorship, where young people help elders navigate new platforms, and suddenly technology isn't a threat. It's a bridge. What is stopping your team from building an ethical AI workflow this year? Let's talk in the comments! 👇 Support the show ***** Thank you for tuning in!
