With the continual growth of AI in our society, there can be a temptation to set it aside and remain ignorant. But is that the right approach? We are joined by Janna and Gregg, who provide sound insight into this circulating conversation in our culture. How can we think biblically about AI with good discernment and make good decisions? It's important to encourage our kids and others around us to use this tool wisely!

We are kicking off a new season here with Athey Women! Tune in to hear some exciting updates about where we are headed with the podcast, as well as our ministry in general, as we begin a new Bible study called Set Apart! Amy provides an outline of what the study is about and how we, as women, should seek to be Set Apart for the Lord's purposes!

Set Apart Bible Study

The conversation surrounding mental health today is huge...but what does the Bible say about how we are to navigate troubles and suffering? Are we to wallow in them? Should we try to find a solution as quickly as possible? In this episode, Amy talks about how the world chooses to frame mental health and suffering, and what God's Word tells us about navigating suffering and where our hope should be anchored.
