God reveals himself to be a thinking, speaking, and creating God. He made us in his image and calls us to use his gifts to grow in likeness to him.
Jesus Christ did not disciple his followers through detached prompts, but through embodied presence, sacrificial love, correction, suffering, touch, communion, and covenant relationship.
The more humans begin to think of themselves (or act) as machines, the further we drift from our true identity. Even more concerning is the possibility that society may begin to value artificial or humanoid intelligence over actual human beings.
The best messages come from an intense struggle with the text in the heart, where the teacher is as convicted by the Word as his or her hearers. Merely memorizing words conjured up by an algorithm won’t produce the same result.
Believers gain wisdom through an abiding relationship with God, and children glean it from being in the presence of wise company. Stewarding God’s wisdom for our children begins with parents.
We were created for relationship with God and with one another. Human relationships are one of the primary ways we reflect God’s character to each other. AI cannot do that.
We don’t disciple from fear but from confidence that Jesus is at work in the hearts of our children. Even in this rapidly changing world, he remains the source of true wisdom and lasting identity.
