In this episode, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave explore the intersection of evangelism, discipleship, and artificial intelligence (AI). They discuss the potential benefits of AI as a tool in ministry, while emphasizing its limitations, dangers, and the irreplaceable role of human relationships and the Holy Spirit in sharing the Gospel. Drawing from over 45 years of ministry experience, Jeff shares insights on using AI wisely without letting it replace authentic, heart-to-heart connections. The conversation covers practical applications, warnings about over-reliance, and a biblical perspective on technology in relational evangelism.

Key Takeaways and Quotes

• On AI's Limitations: "AI is not really original. It's really a collective knowledge of all that's been recorded by humans." – Jeff Musgrave
• On Relationships: "Evangelism itself is about a relationship with God... It must be communicated from a human heart in order to reach a human heart." – Jeff Musgrave
• On Dangers: "AI is a people pleaser and you can't be a people pleaser in your evangelism and discipleship. You have to be a truth teller." – George Binoka
• On Practical Use: "Let it be our servant. Don't become a servant to it." – Jeff Musgrave
• Biblical Perspective: Reference to Ecclesiastes ("Nothing is new under the sun"), Matthew 6:24 ("You can't serve two masters"), and 1 Corinthians 10:31 ("Do all for the glory of God").
• Final Encouragement: Be careful, prayerful, and biblical when using AI. It enhances tools but can't replace the Holy Spirit or human laborers in evangelism.
