In this thought-provoking episode, Pastors Matt and Nathan are joined by special guest Mike Pentz to explore some of the most pressing questions in our rapidly changing world: What does it mean to be human as AI continues to advance? 🤖 How will the integration of technology impact our faith, and what are the spiritual ramifications for Christians?

We dive deep into the role of AI in the future, discussing the ethical boundaries of technology, the concept of digital immortality, and how these developments challenge our understanding of humanity from a Christian perspective. Whether you’re curious about AI, concerned about its implications, or just looking to deepen your faith in a tech-driven world, this episode is for you!

Plus, we share a humorous story about a pastor who claimed God created time zones to manage global prayer traffic (spoiler: we definitely don't agree). 😅
