Whenever there is a significant change in the world, the Church responds. It is one of the jobs of our leaders to guide us through uncharted waters. Today we find ourselves in need of direction when it comes to artificial intelligence. This tool has the potential to reshape every aspect of life at every level of society. How do we proceed forward using this tool to better the world? Joining us for this episode is Fr Ricky Manalo C.S.P., who has been on the cutting edge of this research, participating in the Vatican's effort to understand this world changing tool and its ethical applications. Nicholas sits down with him to discuss how we, as Catholics, can approach artificial intelligence.

All of us are called to be active in our faith when it comes to dealing with the world. This world we live it can often be hostile to our beliefs and we might find ourselves needing to explain our doctrine. There are also those who might be curious about the Church and have a desire for a deeper understanding. In order to better communicate the message of Christ, we must go beyond the surface, seeking to find those pearls that lead to inspiration. Here we find the concept of apologetics, a philosophical method of grounding our faith in Truth so that we might evangelize more effectively. Dr. Eric Hall of Carrol College joins Nicholas to discuss our call to engage in apologetics with the world at large, whatever comes our way.

When we have publicly dedicated ourselves to Christ, we become His ambassadors. We are given a great opportunity to show the love and patience of Jesus as we go about our virtual lives. However, there are dangers to this. Social media can contain prejudice and hatred that we must deal with because of our faith. Misinformation can lead us down false paths. The constant bombardment of information can be overwhelming, and it can distract from what we strive for as Christians. However, there are safeguards and guidelines for successful navigation of the treacherous waters of the web. Sister Nancy Usselmann, of the Daughters of St. Paul, knows well how to keep our sanity and spirituality intact while still being positive representations of the Church. Nicholas has the honor to sit down with Sister Nancy to discuss how to be Online Ambassadors.
