Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Who's choice is ultimate in salvation? God's or man's?

This is the question we'll be tackling in the second episode of this series. We'll be taking a look, especially at Paul's teaching on the topic in Romans 8-10 and also from the lips of Jesus in John 6. We'll also consider what other relevant passages of Scripture have to say on God's and our roles in salvation. We'll then contemplate what this means for us today as we reflect on our salvation.

These are important truths for us to not just know, but also to love and to hold dear in our hearts. They are core to our assurance and comfort as believers.

How do we build God's Kingdom? What is the Kingdom? This talk explores these important topics for the Christian life with practical examples of how we can build the Kingdom strategically, incrementally, and generationally. This talk was originally delivered at Faith Baptist Muskoka to a men's group. I hope that it helps inspire and equip more Christians to seek first the Kingdom and see the LORD bless the works of our hands to disciple the nations.

What does the book of Revelation and mission work have to do with each other? Dave Forsythe is a missionary and church planter who has written a commentary based on Puritan expositions of John's Apocalypse published by Founders Press. In this episode we talk about his experience on the mission field and what role eschatology plays in mission work as well as his journey to his eschatological viewpoint. We chat about his new commentary, "Vengeance Has Come: A Puritan-Minded Exposition of the Apocalypse for the Modern Church" and why it's important for today. He also discusses why the dating of the book of Revelation matters to our interpretation.

076 | Why start Niagara Classical Academy? (ft. Ryan Eras) 59:29

منذ 38 weeks59:29

Ryan Eras, headmaster of Niagara Classical Academy sits down to talk with us about why they're starting a Classical Christian Academy in the Niagara region, what it's about and why it's important. A classical and Christian education is a method of teaching and of seeing the world. It has its origins in the classical, Greco-Roman era of history. It is a very time-tested method of education to train people to become self-governing citizens. It is interested in what makes something good, true, and beautiful, or what keeps it from being those things. A classical Christian education is a deliberate work of forming the soul of the student. The academics are rigorous, but our emphasis is on modelling and cultivating virtue rather than academics because unless virtue is being practiced, academics cannot follow. ▶️ UP NEXT: Public School vs Christian Education ✅ Niagara Classical Academy: https://niagaraclassical.com/ ✅ Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/niagaraclassical/ ✅ Check out upcoming events: https://niagaraclassical.com/about/events/ *RESOURCES* 📘 Classical Education and the Homeschool - https://amzn.to/4c2Rc4W 📘 Wisdom and Eloquence: A Christian Paradigm for Classical Learning - https://amzn.to/4aX0Uoi 📘 An Introduction to Classical Education - https://amzn.to/4bWkthZ 📘 Shaping Hearts and Minds: A Case For Classical Christian Education - https://amzn.to/4c7fPxa ----------------- ℹ️ https://www.theotivity.com/ 📩 Newsletter: https://theotivity.com/newsletter/ 💰 Donate: https://www.givesendgo.com/theotivity ➡️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theotivity ➡️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theotivity/ ➡️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/theotivity…

منذ 40 weeks1:06:28

1:06:28

Dr. Tony Costa discusses several problematic issues with Pope Francis and analyzes the various problems with the Roman Catholic doctrine of Papal Infallibility. In this episode, we discuss some of the scandals that Pope Francis has been through including changing views on divorce, universalism, the denial of Hell, being accused of heresy by Catholic theologians and more. We examine the top theological issues with Pope Francis and whether he could be legitimately considered a heretic by both Catholics and Protestants. We also look at reasons why Pope Francis has pushed leftward on many issues and consider whether the Roman Catholic doctrine of Papal Infallibility holds any weight. This is an episode we hope will help Protestants and Catholics alike think carefully about these issues and equip them for fruitful conversations. Tony Costa earned a B.A. and M.A. in Biblical Studies from the University of Toronto and earned his Ph.D in New Testament and Theology from Radboud University in the Netherlands. He is a professor of apologetics at the Toronto Baptist Seminary.

منذ 43 weeks1:02:14

1:02:14

Author and Pastor Zachary Garris talks about the problem of the feminization of the Evangelical Church and the need to recover the masculine nature of Biblical Christianity. We discuss some compromises of Complementarianism, how feminism crept into the church and how God's design for the sexes extends beyond just the home and church. Complementarianism, which started off as a movement with good intentions to preserve the distinction of gender roles in response to Evangelical Feminism in the 1980s fell short in many ways of the older, more Biblical understanding of Patriarchy. We also tease out some of the related problems with Radical Two Kingdoms Theology (R2K) and how it may be symptomatic or a contributing cause of the feminization of the church. Lastly, we touch on some issues of cultural engagement and political theory.

منذ 1 year1:26:08

1:26:08

Building strong Christian Communities is even more important in the troubled times that we live in. With a rising anti-Christian sentiment in much of our culture, Bible-believing Christians are facing more discrimination in the workplace, schools, entertainment, culture and even legally. Everything from DEI to ESG to BLM and CRT, and all the other ominous 3-letter acronyms for ungodly ideologies creates a cultural atmosphere where many conservative Christians feel more and more pressured to compromise their faith. When we're isolated we're vulnerable and weak, so robust communities where Christians learn from, support and build up each other are vital. In this episode, we sit down again with Josh Ankenmann, the founder of Algonquin Digital Media Co. to discuss the importance of building strong Christian communities and how that can radically impact our lives and the community and culture around us for the glory of God. We talk about what it takes to build strong families, churches, businesses and the importance of Christian education in establishing strong and lasting Christian communities that can be a refuge in dark times but also serve as a city on a hill to shine the light of the Gospel to a world in need.

068 | A Christian View of Economics and Wealth💰 ft. Jonathan Wellum 1:03:33

منذ 1 year1:03:33

1:03:33

With economic recession, inflation and increasing national debt, how are Christians supposed to think about their money and building wealth to leave an inheritance? In this episode, we interview Jonathan Wellum from Rocklinc Investment Partners Inc. on how God's Law helps us understand economics from a Christian perspective. He talks about how the Bible's economic principles help build strong economies, the problems with inflationary fiat currency, and what's the better (more Biblical) alternative. We also talk about how Christian entrepreneurs can build thriving businesses even in a time of economic hardship and how Christians in full-time ministry can build equity and wealth. Finally, Jonathan exposes some of the most common misconceptions about economics and gives some advice on how pastors can help equip their flocks to think Christianly about economics.

Secularism has failed and it is doomed to run its course. Big words, but our guest today, Dr. Tony Costa thinks he can back it up. We interview him about his forthcoming book, "No King But Christ" and how Christians today need to fully embrace and live in accordance with the total Lordship of Jesus Christ in all spheres of life. He unpacks how the failure to realize the totalizing nature of Christ's Kingship has led to many of the issues and weaknesses the church faces today. He also explains how secularism and the ideologies it has spawned have brought ruin and are destined to collapse due to their own inconsistencies. Dr. Costa is a respected apologist and professor, and I know that you will greatly enjoy this conversation!

In this episode, we sit down with Pastor Alex Kloosterman from City Hill Baptist Church and Dominion Press in Peterborough, Ontario to discuss an open letter to the churches of Canada in April 2023 written at Dominion Press concerning the issue of the response to the lockdowns. We talk about the effort to recast the situation in a different light and why that's concerning. We also touch on why this issue is still relevant and the proper relationship between forgiveness and repentance. In the conversation, we talk about the sinful idolatry that took place and whether or not these issues are serious enough for a Christian to consider leaving a church. Ultimately, we talk about the desire for real dialogue to happen and reconciliation between these different parties within the Reformed Evangelical world. That should be ours, and every Christian's desire, that we would see true unity happen - not due to compromise, but rather through Spirit-wrought conviction of the truth. ----------------- 🔗 Links Mentioned: 🔹 https://www.dominionpress.ca/p/an-open-letter-to-the-churches-of 🔹 https://ca.thegospelcoalition.org/tgc-canada/canadian-pastors-forum-covid-19/ 🔹 https://www.dominionpress.ca/ 🔹 https://www.hillcitybaptist.com/ ----------------- ℹ️ For more info on THEOTIVITY, please visit: https://www.theotivity.com/ 📩 *Sign up for the newsletter*: https://theotivity.com/newsletter/ 🎙 *Subscribe* to the podcast: https://theotivity.com/podcasts/ 💰 *Donate* at: https://www.givesendgo.com/theotivity ➡️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theotivity ➡️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theotivity/ ➡️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/theotivity…
