Why the indictment of Donald Trump is so dangerous for America Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Today’s headlines continue to be dominated by the news that former US President Donald Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury on more than thirty counts related to business fraud. He is expected to appear in court tomorrow. There are three logical options behind this unprecedented series of events, and the fact that millions of Americans consider at least two of these positions to be plausible or even likely is damaging by itself.

God doesn’t need heroes: What Christians in Africa and Nepal can teach us about effective evangelism Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Vice President Kamala Harris has spent much of this week in Africa, attempting to forge better relationships with key governments across the continent. Too often, though, American involvement has taken the form of a hero coming to the rescue when what most Africans want is a partner to help them grow. That's a lesson Christians in America could use as well, and we need look no further than the amazing story of what God has done in and through the Bhutanese Nepali refugees to learn how.

Elon Musk and 1,000 experts call for 6-month moratorium on AI development Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

A thousand experts, including Elon Musk, have asked for a six-month moratorium on AI development, writing that “powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable.” This comes at the same time as a report saying as many as 300,000,000 full-time jobs around the world could be automated in some way by the latest AI. But there is something to be hopeful about: in the midst of such technological and cultural transformation, we’re living in a day of unparalleled spiritual transformation as well.

A palm scan to buy food and the “Promethean moment” now upon us Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

Amazon’s palm-reading technology is being tested in Panera Bread cafes, but what if such advances were used to monitor our every move? Such a surveillance state is already happening in Russia and China, and with the amount of data we each produce every day, it may not be long before such tech negatively alters life in America. Yet tech like artificial intelligence “represents mankind’s greatest invention to date” according to Thomas Friedman, so how can Christians redeem the opportunities it presents?
