Artificial intelligence can answer theological questions, draft sermons, automate difficult work, and increasingly imitate human conversation. But can it form a Christian, embody the love of Christ, or replace the church?
Tim sits down with Mark Junkans—author of *The Return of Mystery: Faith in the Age of Machines*—to examine the deeper spiritual questions surrounding AI. They discuss transhumanism, the dream of a “digital god,” AI-generated faith, the loss of critical thinking, and why instant access to information is not the same thing as spiritual formation.
