Should Pastors Be Scared of AI?
In this episode of The Enduring Church Podcast, Michael Davis sits down with apologist and author Abdu Murray to ask a pressing question for pastors and church leaders: What do we do with AI? They unpack how “AI mania” and the rejection of biology are reshaping culture, why letting a chatbot write your sermon or act as your “prayer partner” is so dangerous, and how over-reliance on AI can dull our minds, distort truth, and deepen loneliness.
Together, they explore how pastors can use AI as a limited tool without surrendering their calling, why hard study still matters for your own spiritual formation, and how the church can disciple people toward real community, critical thinking, and a deeper love for reality as God made it. If you are trying to shepherd a flock in an AI-obsessed age, this conversation will help you lead with clarity, caution, and hope.
