2025 Updates for AI and the Church

The Church Answers Podcast

Can anyone really provide an update on AI? It is moving too fast for most of us. Jess and Thom try to keep local churches updated on the AI issues that could most affect them.

• • The evangelistic opportunities using AI are massive.
  • The opportunity for virtual tours of your church facility.
  • The opportunity to demonstrate value in human-to-human connections.
  • The opportunity to remind people of the true Power.
  • There are seemingly unlimited AI-powered resources for greater church efficiencies, education, and administration.
  • AI plagiarism is becoming an increasingly problematic issue.
