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.

How Should Your Church Talk About Charlie Kirk's Murder?
In this sobering episode, we explore how pastors and church leaders can shepherd their congregations through the national grief surrounding the murder of Charlie Kirk. We discuss the deep spiritual need for God in moments like this, the real danger of civil war rhetoric escalating into action, and the urgent reminder that vengeance belongs to the Lord. We also unpack how to disciple believers toward a kingdom-first worldview—one that isn’t shaped by fear, rage, or tribalism, but by the cross of Christ. Stay with us as we challenge the Church to be a place of healing, clarity, and Gospel-centered perspective in an increasingly fractured culture.
