#388 AI 101: What Every Christian Should Know About Artificial Intelligence | Ryan Pauly
The Alisa Childers PodcastShow Notes
AI is already shaping the way we search, learn, create, and even think. The question isn't whether Christians should engage with AI, it's how.
In this conversation, Alisa sits down with Ryan Pauly to wrestle with questions like: Can AI think? Does it have a mind—or does it just process information? Why does it so confidently get things wrong? And how can Christians avoid letting technology shape their worldview instead of allowing Scripture to shape the way they use technology?
They discuss: Why AI is never truly "neutral" The crucial difference between a mind and a machine How technology quietly forms our habits and worldview AI's tendency to hallucinate—and why that matters Biblical principles for stewarding AI without becoming mastered by it Practical ways to use AI while protecting wisdom, discernment, and human flourishing
Whether you're enthusiastic about AI or deeply skeptical, this conversation will help you think biblically about one of the most influential technologies of our time.

Decades ago, Christian philosopher and apologist Francis Schaeffer warned that evangelical Christianity was heading toward what he called “The Great Evangelical Disaster.” He believed that as Christians increasingly accommodated the spirit of the age, compromised biblical authority, and abandoned objective truth, the consequences would be devastating.
