*** A couple of corrections real quick!

• Barry says episode 6 at the beginning but this is episode 7.
• Barry wanted to correct the dates he brought up. Boethius wrote in the 6th century not the 1st. He wrote the book in 522. 

Often you will hear criticism of worship leaders when they try to talk about Theology. Why is that? Maybe it is because a lot of our modern worship music is missing a very important component. Barry and Alyssa will talk about all of that and more! Also, Dennis and Melanie will review Night to Shine and Barry will be doing a book review. Check out this weeks COREcast!

We promise! AI did not write this episode... Well... Not all of it. Today the guys and Alyssa discuss the use of AI in ministry. Should Christian leaders use AI? What are some of the dangers? Or some of the benefits? Following the discussion, we invited AI to come share some of its' thoughts. And finally, let's chat about the results of the SuperBowl on our returning segment, "Christians talk about stuff."
