AI in Christian Life

The biggest buzzword out there today is AI. AI or Artificial Intelligence is more popular than ever. It's also the fastest growing technology in the history of the world, outpacing the growth of personal computers, smart phones, and even the Internet.  When you hear talk of data centers, computer chips, and NVIDIA, these are all related to the ascent of AI. AI seems to be used by all aspects of life today, but how can you use AI in your Christian life? That's the question I have. 

• Ask it to create a Bible reading plan. Specify the Old or New Testament or which books you want to read. Tell it how frequently you plan to read. 
• Ask it to create a Bible study over a topic. Make a lesson. Add an outline and even a quiz at the end.
• Start a prayer list and allow it to provide ideas for prayer. Add or update items as you go. Ask AI to read it back to you. 
• Give AI a topic and ask it what the Bible says about it. Starter topics could include: money, marriage, drinking, sex, etc. 
• Do historical research on Christianity, church, christians, etc. Ask about the beginnings of the denomination or church you currently attend. 
• Ask AI how it can help you in your Christian walk. This step alone will produce a great amount of content. 

What are some AI tools I can use? 

• ChatGPT by OpenAI
• Claude Code
• Google Gemini

This technology is in its infancy so we have yet to see its full potential. Like any technology it is amoral with no bent towards good nor bad. Let's use the tools available to deepen our faith and our commitment to Christ and His church.
