  • Russell Brand: The World Is Keeping You Empty on Purpose

    This week on The Ben Peterson Show: Faith for the Way Forward, Ben sits down with Russell Brand for a powerful conversation about finding Jesus, the spiritual battle for our attention, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence.

    Russell opens up about his life before Christ, from addiction and fame to New Age spirituality and searching for fulfillment in everything the world promised would satisfy. Despite success and influence, he realized none of it could answer the deeper spiritual longing inside him.

    He also shares the moment he encountered Christ and knew that Jesus was exactly who He said He was.

    Ben and Russell then explore one of the biggest questions facing Christians today: What happens when technology becomes powerful enough to imitate intelligence, manipulate attention, and make it harder to distinguish what is real from what is artificial?

    They discuss AI, deception, identity, culture, spiritual warfare, and why our relationship with Christ must remain at the center of everything.

    Russell puts it simply:

    “It don't matter who's in the White House. It matters who's in your heart.”

    And when it comes to AI:

    “The only way of thwarting the threat of AI is God.”

    WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.

  • Why John Rich Says AI Could Become a Dangerous Spiritual Deception | The Ben Peterson Show

    This week on The Ben Peterson Show, Ben sits down with country music artist, entrepreneur, and outspoken Christian John Rich for a powerful conversation about faith, military service, spiritual warfare, artificial intelligence, and what it means to stand for truth in a rapidly changing world.

    John opens up about his personal journey from success, addiction, gambling, anger, and arrogance to rediscovering his faith and finding a deeper purpose beyond fame. He shares how his father’s ministry shaped him, why he believes Christians must be willing to stand for truth, and why he now measures his life by significance instead of success.

    The conversation then turns to America’s military, battlefield miracles, the importance of supporting service members and their families, and the mission of Engage Your Destiny. John even becomes a Guardian of a Soldier, committing to support active-duty service members through prayer, discipleship, food, fellowship, and faith.

    But the conversation takes an even deeper turn when Ben asks John about artificial intelligence.

    “AI is mankind’s attempt to replace God.”

    From AI-powered warfare and autonomous drones to biblical prophecy, deception, the Book of Revelation, and the future of humanity, John shares his unfiltered perspective on where technology could be taking us—and why Christians must learn to recognize the voice of God above the voice of technology.

    John also reveals an incredible surprise: a first look at his upcoming Big & Rich song “Hello AI,” written as a direct challenge to artificial intelligence and a reminder of what machines can never possess—a soul, genuine love, freedom, or the breath of life.

    WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.

  • Before You Trust AI... Watch This First

    This week on The Ben Peterson Show, Ben Peterson shares one of his most urgent messages yet on the intersection of faith, artificial intelligence, and the future of our world. Drawing from Scripture, military experience, and history, Ben explains why he believes our generation is witnessing the modern-day Tower of Babel, and why Christians cannot afford to be spiritually asleep.

    From the rise of AI and its impact on culture, to the cycles of history that have shaped nations for centuries, this message explores how technology, truth, and faith are colliding in unprecedented ways. Ben also shares his personal journey from the battlefield to ministry, revealing how God transformed deep pain into a mission to reach military members with the hope of Christ.

    More than a warning, this is a call to prepare. As darkness increases, God is raising up His Church for one of the greatest spiritual awakenings in history. The question is: will we decrease so Christ can increase?

  • Could America Defend Against an AI War? | Sean Hagerty

    This week on the Engage Your Destiny Podcast, Ben Peterson sits down with a retired Special Operations veteran who spent more than 25 years serving America on the front lines of modern warfare.

    From surviving brutal firefights in Afghanistan to helping advise America's Defense Science Board on the future of AI and national security, Sean Hagerty shares what he's learned about courage, faith, leadership, and the rapidly changing battlefield.

    But this conversation goes far beyond military stories.

    What happens when artificial intelligence begins making decisions faster than humans? Is drone warfare replacing soldiers? Is China really prepared to challenge America? And what happens when technology begins changing not just warfare, but the way we live, think, and worship?

    Sean offers a rare insider perspective on the future of AI, autonomous weapons, cybersecurity, America's military readiness, and why faith has never been more important in an increasingly digital world.

    If you've ever wondered where technology, national security, and biblical faith collide, this conversation is one you don't want to miss.

    WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.

  • Emergency PODCAST: AI Just hacked the National Security Agency

    Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than anyone expected. But what happens when AI becomes powerful enough to challenge national security, reshape global power, and influence the way we seek truth?

    In this emergency episode of The Ben Peterson Show, Ben unpacks the shocking reports surrounding AI systems capable of exposing vulnerabilities in one of the world's most secure intelligence agencies, why government leaders are beginning to intervene, and what the race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could mean for every person alive.

    More importantly, this conversation isn't just about technology. It's about faith.

    As AI becomes more intelligent, more persuasive, and more integrated into our daily lives, Christians must wrestle with an important question: Are we allowing technology to become our guide instead of God?

    Ben explores the biblical story of Saul consulting a medium, the dangers of seeking guidance from artificial intelligence, and why believers must remain grounded in God's Word in an age where information is unlimited but wisdom is increasingly rare.

    WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.

  • The Truth About AI, Dopamine and the Future

    What if the reason you can't focus, feel restless, or struggle to find satisfaction isn't a lack of discipline, but the way your brain has been trained?

    In this episode of The Ben Peterson Show, Ben explores how AI-driven technology, social media, pornography, and endless short-form content are reshaping our brains through dopamine. While the world promises constant excitement, it leaves us less satisfied with our work, our relationships, and even our walk with God.

    Ben explains why dopamine isn't the brain's "pleasure chemical," but its pursuit system, and how today's technology is conditioning us to crave what's new instead of valuing what truly matters. From weakened attention spans and broken focus to strained marriages and spiritual distraction, this episode reveals why the battle for your attention has become one of the greatest spiritual battles of our generation.

    Most importantly, Ben shares a path forward. Learn why boredom can become a gift, how discipline rebuilds your mind, and why true satisfaction is found through prayer, purpose, meaningful relationships, and a life fully surrendered to Christ.
