Artificial Intelligence is no longer a concept of the future—it’s a present-day reality transforming society and even impacting the church. In this episode, we unpack the rapid development of AI and the opportunities and challenges of the gaming world and what it means for church leaders and other committed Christians today. From evangelism through gaming and sermon prep tools to ethical dilemmas and deepfake risks, the AI revolution presents both remarkable opportunities and serious challenges for ministry.

David Beatty is the Senior Pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in New Braunfels, Texas. He has also worked at high tech companies and is passionate about creating immersive and engaging experiences that connect people and communities across the world. And he maintains an expertise on the metaverse, gaming, and developing technologies.

In this episode, we explore how pastors and other Christian leaders can steward this technology wisely, equipping their congregations to think biblically in a rapidly changing digital age. What are the opportunities and proper safeguards when it comes to gaming? How can churches leverage AI and other developing technologies for kingdom impact? And how can the church both leverage these technologies while remaining the conscience of our society as we face this technological frontier?
