We are entering an era where artificial relationships are being marketed as emotional solutions. In this episode of Breaking Through the Noise, I respond to recent developments in AI, including Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement of customizable AI “friends”—and explore what this means for the future of human connection, dating, marriage, and parenting.

What does it mean to be truly human in a world flooded with synthetic interactions? As the line between real and artificial continues to blur, the Church must rise as the last pure example of Kingdom relationships.

This episode is not just a warning—it’s a roadmap. It’s time for the body of Christ to set the standard for meaningful connection in a disconnected world.
