Richard Dawkins is proposing the idea that Anthropic’s Claude (AI) is conscious. How does this fit in with his atheist worldview? Where does God fit into the equation of consciousness? Why should Christians care about this issue? With years spent behind the tech curtain, Doug Smith will challenge us to think biblically about the advances in technology and deal with the temptation to trade God for a machine.
Join us this hour as we take a look at some of the stories making headlines before Karen Covell joins us to share specific prayer requests for those who work with the largest group of influencers in the world – the entertainment industry. Then, we turn our attention to the Persecuted Church as Todd Nettleton gives us an update on how to pray for our brothers and sisters who are paying a price for following Jesus. Get ready to lengthen your prayer list.
