Many people are now turning to AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude for spiritual guidance, asking algorithms questions that used to go to rabbis and pastors. That shift raises questions religious institutions have never faced before.

In this special episode, we sit down with Rabbi Bentzi Sudak of The Centre - Chabad Hampstead Garden Suburb, United Kingdom and Pastor Tomiwa Immanuel of Celebration Church International, Ibadan, Nigeria, to discuss this shift. Both lead communities rooted in ancient traditions. Both are watching AI reshape how people connect with faith.

Rabbi Sudak explains why AI can provide information but misses the human journey that makes faith meaningful. Pastor Tomiwa breaks down why dependency on AI for spiritual guidance risks replacing intimacy with God. We also discuss whether religious people can be tech-savvy, what role faith leaders should play in shaping AI tools, and whether AI was part of God’s design all along, and much more.
