Join us on April 26th from 3:00 pm - 7:30 pm to hear from Doug Smith, software developer and speaker. Doug will share a perspective on digital technology and Artificial Intelligence that is informed by his research, experience in software development, and the Bible. The evening will be divided into two topics:
Family Discipleship in a Screen-Saturated World
Screen time is the discipleship issue of our age. Social media, video games, streaming video, and now AI dominate our time and attention. We are often discipled more by technology than the teachings of Christ. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Intentional Christian families can embrace authentic Christian discipleship, even in a screen-saturated world. Doug will offer a practical, biblical model of discipleship that every family can practice and become all God has created us to be.
Thriving in an AI Chatbot-Infested Age
Generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini have quickly become the dominant new force across almost every sphere of life: family, work, government, and even ministry. Predictions of either paradise-like salvation or apocalyptic doomsday abound. In this confusion, Doug helps us see these new technologies through his biblical and tech-insider lenses and shows us how to make wise decisions that prioritize our unique identity as humans made in God’s image and for his good purposes.
