AI and Faith: Navigating the Future Together

The Tension Between AI and Faith

Have you ever felt uneasy about how fast artificial intelligence is growing? Many Christians are asking the same question. Technology promises efficiency, but it also raises deep ethical and spiritual concerns. As someone who studies both Scripture and cultural trends, I see both the promise and the danger. At the heart of this conversation lies a critical question: Can AI and faith walk together without losing sight of God’s truth? That is exactly what the “AI for Humanity” summit at Colorado Christian University will tackle this October.

Why This Matters Now

Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic idea. It is here, shaping how we communicate, learn, and even worship. According to the State of the Church Tech 2025 report, AI use in ministries has grown by 80%. Most of this growth centers on communication, emails, social media, and creative design. However, sermons and devotionals remain largely human-led.

This shows both wisdom and caution. Christians recognize the usefulness of AI tools, but they also understand the sacred weight of preaching and teaching God’s Word. The summit aims to help believers draw clear lines and ask tough questions about what AI should and should not do.

Who Will Be There

The event will feature influential voices from technology and faith. Pat Gelsinger, former Intel CEO and now Gloo AI’s Head of Technology, will speak alongside Christian Post leaders and educators. Their message is clear: we need a Kingdom-minded approach to innovation.

CCU President Eric Hogue explained it best. He said the goal is to “equip the next generation of Christian leaders in technology” and ensure faith remains central in a digital world. That mission matters because the church must not only react to technology but also shape how it serves humanity.

What the Church Can Learn

Events like this remind us that technology is not neutral. AI reflects the values of the people who build it. If Christians do not engage, others will decide how AI influences our culture, ethics, and even spiritual life.

For example, One Community Church in Texas recently held its own AI summit. A speaker from Google DeepMind said AI may humble humanity by revealing spiritual emptiness. That perspective shows why Christians must enter these conversations, not with fear, but with wisdom and hope.

Moving Forward with Faith

So, how should everyday believers respond? Start by staying informed. Ask questions about how your church uses technology. Encourage leaders to seek God’s wisdom before adopting new tools. And above all, remember that technology may change, but God’s Word never does.

This summit is not just for scholars and experts. It is for all of us who want to honor God while living in a world where AI keeps growing.

The future of AI is being written now. Will faith be part of the story?
