Andy Crouch on What AI Can (and Can't) Do: Sacrifice, Love & Being Human, Part 1

What does artificial intelligence mean for Christian faith, human relationships, spiritual formation, and the future of what it means to be human? In this conversation, Scott Rice and Greg Fung talk with author and theologian Andy Crouch about AI, faith, technology, and the surprising importance of friction in our lives.

Andy argues that a life without resistance may sound ideal, but friction is essential for developing strength, wisdom, emotional maturity, and deep relationships. As AI increasingly removes friction from work, thinking, communication, and even relationships, what might we lose?

They explore AI and emotional companionship, AI-generated sermons, whether pastors should use AI to write sermons, how Christians can use AI wisely, and why AI may actually be helping us ask deeper theological questions about God and humanity. Andy also explains why Christians should not fear AI—and why our neighbors may need Christians to articulate why human beings matter.

A thoughtful conversation about artificial intelligence, Christianity, technology, human flourishing, and spiritual formation.
