How does A.I. play a role in grief, immortality, and digital resurrection? Where do we draw the lines and how can God help guide The Church as we navigate these new waters? Join us as we discuss these topics and more with Derek Schuurman, a noted professor, author, and engineer who is also one of the organizers of the Wisdom in the Age of AI Conference to be held at Calvin University from October 8-10, 2026. #TheNewGardenPodcast #FaithAndTech #AIandTheology #ArtificialIntelligence #TechAndFaith #ChurchAndAI #SpiritualityInTech #BigQuestions #HumanConnection #PodcastLaunch #FaithInTheDigitalAge #YouTubePodcast

How do we preserve the image of God in human-to-human love in a world of A.I. caregiving? What happens to the spiritual growth that comes through the struggle of caring for others? Could A.I. actually deepen human relationships by handling logistics and freeing us for deeper connection? We explore these questions and more in this episode, featuring guest Christine Rosen, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

From Bible-reading apps to habit-tracking software, technology can shape our spiritual practices and even nudge us toward more “Christ-like” behaviors than our natural human nature allows. But is digital discipleship the same as true spiritual formation? In this second episode of The New Garden, we talk with Rev. Canon Lorenzo Lebrija as we explore the implications of A.I. on faith formation.  #TheNewGardenPodcast #FaithAndTech #AIandTheology #ArtificialIntelligence #TechAndFaith#ChurchAndAI #SpiritualityInTech #BigQuestions #HumanConnection #PodcastLaunch #FaithInTheDigitalAge#YouTubePodcast #ArtificialIntelligence #HumanConnection #YouTubePodcast

Can God be found in the algorithm? How far should our powers with A.I. extend, and how should the church respond? What does artificial intelligence mean for human connection and the way we love? These questions drive The New Garden, a podcast at the crossroads of theology and technology. Each week, co-hosts Tony Sundermeier, Senior Pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, and Brent Macon, Atlanta-based tech entrepreneur and thought leader, sit down with theologians, academics, and innovators to wrestle with the spiritual and ethical implications of A.I. In this first episode, we begin by setting the stage with the central issues and questions that The New Garden will unpack in future episodes. New episodes drop every Thursday on all major podcast platforms, with video versions available on YouTube and at firstpresatl.org. #TheNewGardenPodcast #FaithAndTech #AIandTheology #ArtificialIntelligence #TechAndFaith #ChurchAndAI #SpiritualityInTech #BigQuestions #HumanConnection #PodcastLaunch #FaithInTheDigitalAge #YouTubePodcast
