FISH BAG PODCAST

Have you ever SHOT Yourself in the Foot ?!


Listen Later

JP is back, Fish Baggers. After grinding through finals and officially finishing his university classes, he’s returning to the mic with a big life update and an even bigger question: are we quietly shooting ourselves in the foot with how we use AI? This episode blends story, theology, creativity, and future-of-work talk in a way that feels raw, hopeful, and super relevant for anyone navigating faith in a digital age.

Big Life Update & YWAM Barcelona News

JP shares what it feels like to wake up on a Monday and not have class for the first time in years, plus how his wife is celebrating the end of this long season of study. He gives an inside look at ongoing YWAM Barcelona rhythms, including Monday night and Friday morning gatherings where people dig into Scripture and learn simple ways to actually walk out their faith in community. There are interns on the way, a “Let There Be” art intensive in the works, and the possibility of Creative Nights returning now that his school schedule has opened up.

From “Shooting Yourself in the Foot” to AI Habits

To frame the episode, JP tells a hilarious and slightly painful family story about his dad literally shooting himself in the foot as a kid. That personal moment becomes a parable: in our excitement over new tools, we can rush ahead, pre-cock the “gun,” and end up sabotaging our own mission. JP then applies this image to personalized AI and asks whether our everyday habits with tech are quietly undermining the very creativity and depth we’ll need for the future.

Gen Z, Digital Natives, and the Future of Work

JP’s capstone research focuses on Gen Z, the first truly digital-native generation to grow up with unsupervised internet, social media, and now AI. He explores how their largely self-taught patterns with technology may shape their role as future leaders and workers. Millennials, Gen X, and Gen Alpha all show up in the conversation as he reflects on how each generation relates differently to tech, formation, and responsibility. At the core is one question: are current AI habits building creative scaffolding or slowly eroding deep domain expertise?

Creativity, Mastery, and a 10,000-Hour Calling

Inspired by the idea of mastery and the 10,000-hour journey toward expertise, JP shares how business school unexpectedly steered him toward HR, development, and the science of creativity. He now feels called to spend the next decade helping individuals, teams, and ministries design environments where creativity can thrive. From YWAM Barcelona to the global Church and even places like China, his long-term vision is to equip people to solve real problems with Spirit-led, skill-rich innovation.

Best Length for Your Description

For episode descriptions like this, an optimal range is usually around 350–500 words, which fits comfortably under a 4,000-character limit while still being SEO-friendly and skimmable on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
