AI can write your emails, summarize a book, help with homework, and apparently become your girlfriend. Should Christians be excited, concerned, or maybe a little bit of both? Frank sits down with 17-year-old tech prodigy Nathan, his mom Natasha Crain, and Phoenix Hayes to discuss what AI can do, what it can’t do, and the worldview assumptions hiding beneath the technology that has taken over our lives seemingly overnight. Together, they tackle questions like: What sparked Nathan’s interest in technology in third grade, and what has he learned along the way? What are some of the worldview and moral assumptions behind many of the different AI platforms? Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Dominion…what’s the difference, and what exactly is an LLM? How should Christians use AI–if at all? What are some…

We hear that technology will set us free and that identity is whatever we choose. What we’re not being told is how these promises unravel reality itself, leaving us restless and confused in a world where we can no longer tell what is true. Embrace the Truth president Abdu Murray returns to the program to continue the discussion about his brand-new book, ‘Fake ID‘, and share practical tips for how we can navigate today’s two cultural tsanamis of artificial intelligence and identity ideology. Together, Frank and Abdu answer questions like: What does it mean to say that humans are made in the image of God? Why does humanity collapse when objective truth goes away? Why does increased digital connection make us feel more lonely and depressed? What shocking story did…
