In this episode, we ask a big, uncomfortable question: What does AI mean for our faith? I (Bob) have been obsessed with AI lately—not just how it works, but what it means. And Linda? Well, she’s more on the “this-freaks-me-out” side of things. So this conversation got real… fast. We dive into: The theological implications of AI (yep, we went there). Why AI can reflect human creativity but will never have a soul. How idolatry sneaks in when we rely on AI more than God. Personal stories (like when our son was sick and we turned to AI first… before prayer). The Tower of Babel, the...

You know that verse in Proverbs that says “the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous”? Yeah… we need to talk about that. For years, I heard people quoting it like a divine scratch-off ticket. Sit back, wait long enough, and eventually, poof - someone else’s riches end up in your account.

Jamie Winship is back. Kind of. We are sharing pieces of a talk he gave where he shared some powerful insights about how he thinks about money. We loved them so we wanted to share them with you! What happens when God takes away everything you thought you needed? What if the greatest financial lesson isn’t about making more but trusting more?
