Are you starting to wonder about how much AI and technology is helping us or harming us? Most of us have smartphones in our pockets and rely on digital tools for almost everything. But beyond that, are we replacing a higher intelligence or even our relationship with God with artificial intelligence? It’s a big topic, so let’s talk about it.

In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into a question that’s been on my mind lately: How are AI and technology fundamentally changing us? I’m not trying to ring alarm bells about the potential harms of technology. I want to help you build a healthier relationship with it—one that enhances your life instead of diminishing your mental and spiritual well-being. 

We’ll explore how our increasing reliance on digital tools might weaken our cognitive abilities—our memory, critical thinking, and creativity. More importantly, I’ll share insights into how technology might shape our spirituality, subtly replacing our reliance on intuition, prayer, and deep reflection with quick, convenient answers from artificial intelligence.

P.S. I’m also encouraging everyone to take the 30-Day "Less Tech, More God" Challenge. This is a simple but powerful way to reclaim your focus, reconnect with yourself, and realign with what truly matters.
