Should Ministers Use AI?

AI has taken over the world. While not literally, definitely figuratively. From schools to professionals, everyone is looking into how they can use it in their context. And the same applies to ministers and Churches. What should the Church and ministers do with AI? That is why Mark MacDonald is on the podcast today. Mark is a Church Branding Strategist for BeKnownForSomething.com, a national Church Communication and branding agency, coaching Pastors and 1000s of Churches to become relevant in their community. We use Mark's blog post as a reference for our discussion today.
