In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach reflects on a New York Times article exploring how students are turning to AI to process emotions and form pseudo-relationships. He warns that emotional “offloading” to machines is distancing young people from real intimacy and increasing anxiety, while robbing parents of opportunities to truly know their children’s hearts. Drawing from Jesus’ words in Luke 6, Pastor Zach calls parents, families, and friends to do the hard work of listening, vulnerability, and human connection that no technology can replace.
