17-Year-Old Tech Prodigy Explains What Every Christian Needs to Know About AI with Nathan & Natasha Crain
I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEISTShow Notes
AI can write your emails, summarize a book, help with homework, and apparently become your girlfriend. Should Christians be excited, concerned, or maybe a little bit of both? Frank sits down with 17-year-old tech prodigy Nathan, his mom Natasha Crain, and Phoenix Hayes to discuss what AI can do, what it can't do, and the worldview assumptions hiding beneath the technology that has taken over our lives seemingly overnight. Together, they tackle questions like:
What sparked Nathan’s interest in technology in third grade, and what has he learned along the way? What are some of the worldview and moral assumptions behind many of the different AI platforms? Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Dominion...what’s the difference, and what exactly is an LLM? How should Christians use AI--if at all? What are some crazy examples of AI not telling the truth but what the user wants to hear? What are AI "hallucinations" and what problems are they causing out in the real-world? What was GPT-4o, how did it affect people’s perception of reality, and why was it ultimately shut down? How has AI negatively affected the world of education, creativity, and critical thinking for both children and adults? How do we become better disciples in an AI world, especially when some young men are forming romantic “relationships” with AI? How can Christians ultimately use AI for good?
If you've been struggling with the moral implications of AI and are looking for a rational and down-to-earth explanation of its strengths and weaknesses, this is the episode for you!

Why is Ken Ham picking a fight with Frank about the age of the universe? We all know the Word of God is inerrant, but is Ken’s interpretation of the Bible inerrant? Tune in as Frank responds to Ken's recent video that criticizes what Frank teaches about creation and answers questions like:
Have you ever heard a pastor say, "I just want to preach the Gospel," or "Christians shouldn't get involved in politics"? It sounds spiritual, but is staying out of politics really the biblical thing to do?
What's going on at Baylor University? After exposing the administrative roadblocks that led to the cancellation of a recent college tour event, Frank returns to address some anticipated objections and dig even deeper into his concerns about the university. He'll address questions like:
What happens when a university that claims to stand for Christianity makes it nearly impossible to host an event defending the truth of the Christian faith? And could it possibly involve extortion? That's exactly what happened to us earlier this week (for the first time in 20 years of college visits!), and Frank is bringing the receipts!
