Navigating AI with Hope with Dr. Drew Dickens & Trusting God’s Love with Greg Dempster

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, “End Times Week and AI,” with Dr. Mark Hitchcock, Dr. Drew Dickens, and Greg Dempster. Dr. Mark Hitchcock joined us to discuss spiritual warfare, how to resist it, and how to find victory in Christ. Dr. Hitchcock serves as Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary and Senior Pastor of Faith Bible Church in Edmond, Oklahoma. He has authored more than thirty books on end-times Bible prophecy, including “The End Times Survival Guide: Ten Biblical Strategies for Faith and Hope in Uncertain Days.” We then spoke with Dr. Drew Dickens about navigating global uncertainty and the rise of AI while staying grounded in hope and truth as believers. Dr. Dickens is a visionary leader, AI expert, and scholar who has contributed significantly to the intersection of technology, spirituality, and faith-based engagement. His dissertation explored the impact of generative AI on spiritual direction, and he is the founder of the Encountering Peace app and the Encounter Podcast. We also spoke with Greg Dempster about moving away from shame and self-reliance into a deeper trust in God’s love and acceptance. Greg Dempster is the founder and director of ChristLife Ministries. He has served in full-time pastoral ministry for over two decades and has experience as a senior leader, elder, and ministry director.
