The Future of Soul Care: How Technology & A.I. are Being Used to Strengthen the Church with Chief Solutions Officer at Gloo and a Pioneering Leader in Church Technology, Brad Hill, Ep. 165


Listen Later

People are searching for help, hope, and encouragement now more than ever. With the influx of mental health issues riddling our country today, people are struggling to find solutions to their problems. And think about it, where do most people go when they have questions and seek a quick answer in today’s culture and society? You guessed it - ‘Dr. Google.’ However, one thing we know is that those answers may not always be accurate or the most faith focused, which leads to so many people within the church forming negative views of things such as technology and artificial intelligence. But that sparks the question and frames our conversation today: Can technology and artificial intelligence be used in a way that helps strengthen and develop the church rather than tearing it apart? And what is the Church doing to address the challenges facing today’s generations? 

Thankfully, our guest today, Brad Hill, is a man who has been deeply involved in solving technology challenges for the church for over 20 years. Brad serves on the executive team at Gloo, which is known for being the trusted platform that releases the collective might for the church, and he is responsible for marketing, sales, success, and all facets of growing and serving Gloo’s network of churches, networks, and faith partners. Prior to Gloo, our guest co-founded Ministry Brands, which is the world's largest church/ministry technology company. As President, he completed over 40+ roll-up acquisitions and led the company to win Private Equity deal of the year for 2017. In addition to his experience starting, building, and coaching companies for Kingdom and business impact, Brad has also served in lay leadership at several churches across multiple denominations, and he currently lives in the Denver, CO area with his wife and two kids. 

Our prayer throughout today’s podcast is two-fold: (1) if you are a person who is exploring online for help, you are not alone. There are people doing everything in their power to provide you with best resources possible to navigate in these challenging, often overwhelming times. (2) To affirm those who are skeptical of technology and A.I. to understand that although many use those things to do a world of bad, there are some people today using tech to do a world of good! Pray that God would continue to lead the way and guide their skill sets to do His work so that His will would be done.
