his week on the Engage Your Destiny Podcast, Ben Peterson shares a powerful update on where we’ve been and where we’re going next.

After months behind the scenes, Ben reveals the mission God has placed on his heart preparing the Church, the military, and families for the coming wave of Artificial Intelligence.

From smartphones to social media, we’ve already seen how technology reshaped culture and we weren’t ready. Now AI is advancing faster than anything before it. It won’t just change jobs or warfare. It will change how we think, how we relate, and whose voice we listen to.

We believe the most elite fighting force in the world must also become spiritually prepared for what’s coming. And we refuse to let the Church miss this moment.

WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.
