Have you ever pulled a favorite verse—like Jeremiah 29:11—out of context and claimed it as a personal promise? You’re not alone. In this episode, we expose the #1 mistake believers make in Bible study: treating verses in isolation. Discover how God’s message to Israel in exile reveals His faithfulness in hardship, not quick fixes for success. With a simple “co-text” method, you’ll learn to read before and after a passage, unlock deeper meaning, and grow in confidence that Scripture is for you—even when it’s not about you.

The digital landscape is rapidly changing how we encounter spiritual messages, and not always for the better. Deepfakes, AI-generated content, and manipulated media are creating a troubling new frontier where false teachers and prophets can appear startlingly authentic—all without saying a word themselves.

Our exploration of this phenomenon reveals how easily AI can now mimic trusted voices in Christian circles, creating scandalous narratives and distorting biblical messages for clicks and views. From the Garden of Eden to Jesus's temptation in the wilderness, the enemy has always twisted truth, but now does so with unprecedented speed and convincing realism.

Ready to strengthen your digital discernment? Listen to this episode for practical wisdom on protecting yourself from AI deception without falling into paranoia.

Have you ever been fooled by something that looked real but wasn't? As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly sophisticated, Christians face new challenges in discerning truth from deception online.

In this thought-provoking episode, I share my own encounter with an AI-generated video that attempted to portray a church leader in a controversial situation. The experience highlighted how easy it can be to fall for digital fakery if we're not equipped with proper discernment. We explore what AI actually is—a computer's ability to learn patterns and make decisions like "a fast learner who never sleeps, but without wisdom or morals." Unlike humans with souls and the Holy Spirit's guidance, AI simply processes what it's been fed without moral judgment.

For believers, the implications are significant. While technology itself is neutral—a tool like the printing press that can spread both truth and falsehood—our approach to it must be grounded in biblical wisdom. James 1:5 reminds us to ask God for wisdom, which becomes especially crucial as we navigate content that appears to offer spiritual teaching but may be artificially generated. In this episode I provide practical guidance for developing digital discernment.
