Keynote or sermon
A focused message connecting Scripture with the questions AI raises for churches, campus groups, and Christian professionals.
Speaking
Talks and workshops on Christian faith and artificial intelligence.
I help churches, schools, and Christian professionals consider what AI means for their work, ministry, and everyday choices. Together, we explore what Scripture teaches about human dignity and how to use technology responsibly.
