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.

From Fellowship to Fallout: Why Church Unity Is So Hard
Disunity is more than disagreement—it’s what happens when conflict turns into division. In this episode of The Enduring Church Podcast, we unpack what disunity really is and what it isn’t. We explore how pastors and church leaders can spot the difference between healthy tension and harmful division, and how to respond when relationships start to fracture. More importantly, we discuss the challenging yet hopeful path toward reconciliation—and how the church can lead the way in restoring unity without compromising truth.
