Artificial intelligence is everywhere—and it isn’t going away.

In this timely and thoughtful conversation, Chrys and Shellie take on AI and the many tools now available to all of us, with one goal in mind: understanding it well enough to use it wisely.

We don’t want to bury our heads in the sand—but we also don’t want to hand over discernment without asking important questions. If we, as adults, don’t understand tools like AI, we can’t help our children and grandchildren navigate them safely and responsibly.

In this episode, Chrys and Shellie talk honestly about the benefits, concerns, and boundaries surrounding AI. They remind us that while technology can be a gift, it never replaces relationships, wisdom, or human connection.

• The rapid growth of AI tools and what that means for families

• Why adult understanding matters before guiding kids

• Healthy questions to ask before using new technology

• The difference between helpful tools and unhealthy dependence

• Why relationships, faith, and discernment still matter most

Hospitality has taken a hit in the years since Covid. Many of us want to gather again—but the thought of opening our homes to a crowd can feel overwhelming.

In this episode, Chrys shares five practical, tried-and-true tips for hosting a large gathering without losing your joy—or your mind. After recently welcoming 75 people into her home, Chrys walks listeners through what really works, what doesn’t matter nearly as much as we think, and how to create an atmosphere where guests feel relaxed, included, and cared for.

From letting others help with the food to holding plans loosely, this episode is a gentle reminder that hospitality doesn’t have to be perfect—it just needs to be open-hearted.

God calls us to be hospitable and relational. Maybe it’s time to dust off the extra chairs, open the door, and get back to doing life together.
