Relying on God’s Power for Freedom & Using AI for Spiritual Reflection with Dr. Drew Dickens

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off the week with conversations about creating New Year’s resolutions in God’s power. We, as followers of Christ, need to be reliant on God because without Him we can do nothing, but when we rely on Him, He helps us overcome. We turned to Titus 2:11-12, which states that the grace of God gives us the freedom, strength, and discipline to say ‘no’ to ungodliness and worldly passions. We also had Dr. Drew Dickens join us to discuss how we can prompt Artificial Intelligence to ask thought-provoking questions that prompt spiritual reflection, and he shared updates on the world of AI. Dr. Dickens is a visionary leader, AI expert, and scholar who has significantly contributed to the intersection of technology, spirituality, and faith-based engagement. His groundbreaking dissertation on the impact of generative AI on spiritual direction has positioned him as a leader in the emerging field. He is also the founder of the Encountering Peace App and Encounter Podcast, which provide biblical meditations, resources, and dialogue. Drew has also authored the book “Whispers of the Spirit: A 40-Day Guide to Intimate Prayer.” We then asked listeners, “What do you want to see God change in your life this year?” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
