Cage Free Theology

Episode #056: Does AI Have A Place In Sermon Or Bible Study Prep?


Listen Later

Is Artificial Intelligence a gift to the modern pastor or a threat to the integrity of the pulpit? In this episode of Cage-Free Theology, Clint Archer and Will Brannon dive into the ethics of using AI for Bible study and sermon preparation.

From the "Tower of Babel" risks of relying on technology to the practical benefits of using AI as a "digital intern" for research and illustrations, we explore where to draw the line. We discuss why the process of study is just as important as the final product and why the Holy Spirit’s work in the preacher can’t be automated.

Key Topics in this Episode:
   - Why "fetching" information is different from "creating" content.
    -The danger of losing critical thinking skills.
    -How tools like Logos are integrating AI responsibly.
    -The "dirty" feeling of AI-generated alliteration.
