n this episode of The Whole Person Project, we launch a book club-style conversation about AI-Driven Learning and Engagement in Higher Education by Muhammad Usman Tariq.

Together with Sojourner Coles and Jason Kurian, we reflect on how AI is reshaping the student experience — and what ethical, spiritual, and institutional questions faith-based educators need to ask as we look toward 2030.

You’ll hear:

• How AI may impact student affairs, pastoral ministry, and classroom engagement
• Concerns about privacy, ethics, and human dignity in algorithmic environments
• What it means to form the “whole person” when machine learning enters the curriculum
• Why faith-based institutions must lead with both courage and caution

Whether you’re enthusiastic about AI or still on the fence, this conversation explores the tensions and possibilities that lie ahead — and why 2030 is closer than we think.
