3 Cautions for the AI Revolution | Doug Ponder | Grimké Chapel

AI can write your sermon, find your verse, and answer a counseling question in seconds, but should we let it? Preaching from Genesis 4, Dr. Ponder hands pastors a framework for living faithfully in a world where, as in the days of Cain, the unbelievers keep inventing first. He presses the uncomfortable truth that no technology is ever neutral, because every tool you adopt is quietly reshaping you and then offers three principles for plundering the world's gold without melting it down into a golden calf. You'll come away slower to grab the next shiny tool, clearer on what only a flesh-and-blood shepherd can do, and reminded that God called you to pastor his people, not Grok or ChatGPT.
