How Should Christians Talk About AI?
How Should Christians Talk About AI? In this episode, we discuss how to gracefully (in loving kindness) and truthfully (without compromise) approach conversations about AI as Christians.

Becoming Gods: Theosis, Telos, and Transhumanism, with Wyatt Graham
Should humans be like God? Of course, yes! In what way? Should we adopt new technologies for the sake of transforming our bodies into a new techno-humanity? Some call this transhumanism, and according to our guest, Wyatt Graham, to understand transhumanism we must understand Fredrich Niche. In this episode we navigate the difference between becoming God and becoming like God, receiving our humanity rather than altering it.Wyatt Graham is the editor-in-chief for The Gospel Coalition Canada and an Adjunct Professor at various schools, including Redeemer University.

TGC's AI Christian Benchmark, with Michael Graham
The Keller Center (a part of TGC) has conducted an important benchmark of seven leading AI models. These are the seven most used models in the world, and they do not give the same answers to theological questions. In fact, a Chinese model (Deepseek) had the top score.The Director of the Keller Centre, Michael Graham, joins us in this episode to share how AI models respond to theological questions and the implications for Christians. The conversation touches on the future of AI in pastoral care and the ethical considerations that arise as technology continues to evolve.Chapters00:00 - Intro01:25 - Cultural Apologetics05:51 - Evaluating AI Responses to Theological Questions20:27 - Missiological Implications of AI in Christianity for Pastors31:11 Understanding AI's Limitations and Human Involvement38:12 Engaging with Silicon Valley: A Christian PerspectiveRead the report for yourself: https://christianbenchmark.ai/Cohosted by Andrew Noble, Joel Jacob, and Austin Gravley.
