Should AI Be Used in Church? (We Don't 100% Agree)

It’s a real conversation about efficiency, meaning, and whether some parts of being human (like faith and spirituality) should stay completely human.If you’ve ever wondered where the line is with AI… this is one of those conversations.

The Rise of AI as Your Personal Health Interface
This episode is a little different.Instead of talking about AI in theory, we’re talking about how it’s actually showing up in real life—specifically in healthcare and parenting.Maurie and Jim sit down with their daughter, Raychel, to talk about how she’s been using AI during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and raising a newborn. From uploading bloodwork to asking late-night questions, this is a real look at AI as a personal health interface.They also get into the part people don’t always want to talk about—privacy, data, and what you’re actually giving up when you use these tools.This isn’t about replacing doctors.It’s about using AI to ask better questions, faster—and knowing when to stop and verify.
