March 27, 2025 Put On Love And Find Unity
Todays world is so divided and I think it may have to do with us putting the world over Jesus. We enter into these situations without love and then wonder why we cant find unity. We must remember that all are made in the image of God. We must remember that all have the opportunity to be covered by the blood of Jesus. We must do everything in the name of Jesus and give thanks to God. So let us put on love and find unity. Stay salty and be kind my friends!

May 02, 2023 1984 and Today
In the book 1984, George Orwell wrote about a dystopian future where the government had become a tyrannical overlord. The strange part is, many of the things that took place in this fictional book, are playing out in real life. In the episode, I talk about the similarities between the book and our current situation as a country. For a little extra fun, I had Chat GPT write a monolog on this topic in the voice of Ronald Reagan. I then edited it to add in some more similarities.
When it comes down to preventing our government from having total control over us, two things stand in the way, our guns and our faith. Ultimately, however, the hope we have in Christ is their greatest enemy, one they would need all the tools from 1984 to stomp out. Even then, the power of Jesus will overcome. Enjoy! Stay salty and be kind my friends!

February 27, 2023 Chat GPT imitates the voice of...?
Once again, I was testing out Chat GPT. This time, I asked it to write a monolog in the voice of a radio great from the past, talking about the consequences of America turning away from God. As before, it did quite an incredible job. My impersonation of that great, however, wasn't nearly as good. His iconic voice wasn't easy to match! Pay close attention to the message, though, because even though it was written with artificial intelligence, I couldn't agree more with what was written. Just saying that is slightly terrifying. Stay salty and be kind, my friends!

February 25, 2023 Chat GPT imitates the Apostle Paul
With Chat GPT's rise in popularity, I thought I would put it to the test. I wanted it to write a monolog on the pros and cons of AI in relation to our relationship with God in the voice of the Apostle Paul. Quite frankly, I was stunned with the results! Stay salty and be kind, my friends!
