Preaching

AI and God

Not fear. Not hype. Wisdom.

A Poor Culture sermon series on faith, technology, Scripture, and culture. It treats AI as a way of revisiting ancient questions about wisdom, work, truth, and what makes a human being sacred, and begins from the premise that intelligence is not divinity.

The series is the pulpit version of questions explored in The AI Covenant, an essay on what we owe one another when intelligence is no longer ours alone.
