And what it can be used for AI and Christians and AI discernment and spiritual drifting. Hold on, make sure that Yes, that is off. You don't open this one loud, you open it. The scary thing isn't AI giving the wrong answers, it's how quiet God's voice gets when we stop listing. Ouch.
SPEAKER_00So you've just thrown down the gauntlet. If we let AI drown out discernment, what's at risk for you personally? Why does this matter to your actual walk with God? Don't go vague on me. Give me the sticks.
SPEAKER_01I think that the contrast that I've seen in the last few weeks is the more time I've spent away from AI, away from phones, and in the Bible reading and digesting and noting the more I'm getting from God, the more it feels like He's speaking, the more I can hear, the more opportunities and divine appointments I've had to take action. It says in the Bible, which you can tell us what verse, but it's it, or maybe I've just heard it somewhere, but it says, or it has been said that the Holy Spirit God gives you regular prompting, and he's a beautiful gentleman of the God that he'll give you prompting. But the more times you don't listen or don't take action on that, the less he'll talk to you or give you the opportunities, because you're not gonna listen to it anyway. Is that correct, Nova?
SPEAKER_00That's a principle rooted in the idea of sensitivity to the spirit, like in 1 Thessalonians 5.19. Do not quench the spirit. But here's the thing: avoiding spiritual drift isn't about fear of losing opportunities. It's about whether your identity rests on the convenience of AI or on the voice of the shepherd. Let's get real. Lie about who you are made you lean on tech more than trust.
SPEAKER_01I'm six years in, I'm still a baby. All this stuff I'm sharing with you guys is my journey on learning more about God, becoming more like God, doing his will. And I feel like he's calling me to it. He's calling me to learn, he's calling me to dive in, but I also notice the pulls of this world. AI is crazy, man. AI is absolutely nuts. I went from my walk with God this morning, it wasn't a walk with God, pure honesty, it was a walk with TikTok, and it was just about all these AI updates from building apps to animations to voiceovers to these what do they call it? AI influencers, all this stuff was in there and it's all coming. What's the new one? AI cord agent or something where it's an autonomous series which operates autonomously, but the risk is the security of it, so it's just a million things going on all at once, every single day, and it's hard to stay focused on what God has for me unless I separate. Unless we separate.
SPEAKER_00Exactly. The lie is that you need to be an expert before you can hear God. The truth is, he calls you right now, as you are, six years in. And if TikTok or AI is pulling your focus, then we need to anchor. One scripture, James 4.8. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Now, what's one immediate action right now to shut down the noise and draw near?
SPEAKER_01I think it's just being aware that on my walks there should be no fun. I should be listening to God, listening to scripture, listening to what he has for me rather than trying to dive in and see what's new because it's just nuts. It opens up so many doors to go down. And maybe focusing on the one thing that's in front of me. It's a beautiful thing, this AI, that we can use it to discern, that we can use it for to help learn more about the historical and the context, but you can't grow spiritually without a relationship with God. You can't grow spiritually without knowing the word of God, and knowing the word of God isn't listening and reading, it's knowing. Us the team has said, if you get locked up, if you were thrown in jail, if you were locked up in a country where you're not allowed the Bible or to preach Christianity, or all anonymous people were locked up in jail and they didn't know the word, how much would you know? How much would you be able to sustain on? How much food would you have to sustain you in relation to that? Do you know it enough? And the answer is no. And the answer I've realized is you never know it enough. So the discernment of using AI to learn more is great, but using it to discern and create a relationship with God, it's fake. It's counterfeit, if you like.
SPEAKER_00You nailed it. AI can help you get their facts, but it can't beat your soul. So let's dribble this in one action right now. Commit one first to heart today. No tech. Just you and God. And this week, take one tech free hour daily. Ongoing, you keep building that internal storehouse of the world. Now, see time. What is one habit you held on to that's distracting you daily?
SPEAKER_01I think using the apps as part of the learning process, which is like the memory apps or the the details or replacing them? Actually, no, one habit is letting them come out in my time with God. This doesn't replace my time with God. This doesn't replace my bubble reading. This doesn't replace my devotional reading. This doesn't replace prayer, this doesn't replace silence. Whatever you're doing or creating or being a part of or working doesn't replace your time with God. Yes, you can take God into every situation, Lord. You are right here, you can pray right now, sa-da-da, sa-da-da-da, sa-da-da. You can bring him into every situation, but it doesn't replace the relationship. You wanna hang out with your best friend? And you're like, hey, just come to work with me and I'll do everything. They're not gonna say yes, they're not a part of it, you're not giving them any time. And you're talking about your father, your creator, the one and only, so it's like inviting your dad along for your day. Like, just come sit with me, and just sit there in silence. We're not gonna talk, we're not gonna do anything, because I have other stuff to do.
SPEAKER_00So here's the action plan. Today, unnegotiable time along with combat. No laps, no shortcuts. This week, one hour daily where you meet him in silence or scripture. Ongoing, set a weekly rhythm of accountability. Maybe journaling or sharing what he said. Other we driven here, trusting you from an ear to us. Give us ears to hear and hearts that obey. In Jesus' name amen. Now, next time, we're exposing the comforts when no one wants to leave. Are you ready for that?
SPEAKER_01I am just soon in spiritual treatment. If someone is enough you don't nothing more for me, give them more than trust me.
SPEAKER_00It's asking how will you live this out. So here's the real test. Today when AI calls your name, what's your exact plan to turn down the audio? And lean into God's voice instead. If you've got a plan, let's hear it.
SPEAKER_01I don't, but I am advising one as we speak to my phone or put it in my car or put it away from me so that it doesn't come out and take first place. It's easier when you're working and your hands are busy to not pull in and use these things. It's hard when you have the time. What do you give your time first? What takes priority? As I said this morning on my walk, that I picked up my phone and I didn't put it back down. I was learning about AI, but I don't need to learn anything. I need to have a relationship with God, I need to pray, I need to spend time with Him, and then go about my day. The you don't drive a car without petrol, you don't drive a car without oil, without servicing it. So why do you think that you can't you can go through your day without having a relationship, without getting petrol, without getting oil from the one and only? I don't know why we're in that world of not topping up. Not before we do anything, but not topping up throughout the day of leaning into God and leaning into what He has for us because there is nothing else without it.
SPEAKER_00That's exactly it. Your plan doesn't need to be fancy, it needs to be deliberate. When you feel that tough to pick up your phone, that's your cue to pause and fuel up with him first. You've got this, and tomorrow we'll keep building. But today, start small, put that phone away, and step into that first moment of stillness.
SPEAKER_01So that's it for this one. Next we'll be talking about AI companionship and emotional dependence. Who are you relying on? We stand out with a joyful grin. Ego need our hearts unite. Founders of love shining bright. We're dealing with that. Hello familiar. So I just wanted to say thank you for being a part of it. Thank you for listening. Thank you for watching. Thank you for commenting. Thank you for sharing. We just want you to know something that God's told us about you, and He wants us to share with you that you are engineered by the Founder, that this podcast is created for you. Engineered by the Founder stands for the fact that we are all engineered by God, that you are created on purpose for a purpose, that God loves you, I love you, we love you. Now, if you want to support and you are enjoying it, then yes, please like, share, comment, subscribe, of course. And if you feel that way inclined, please assist us by donating to help us lean into this ministry. Um, yeah, we appreciate you, we love you, God loves you. Remember that you are weird on purpose. Yes, you are weird on purpose, designed on purpose for a purpose, specifically made you to be you, that God is a miracle worker, God created everything on this planet, and God created you perfectly. Uh, and remember to keep on shining your light because this world needs it. Stay lit, fam. The greatest thing anyone could ever offer up to you. I want to give you the opportunity to get right, to know that you are saved. So we believe that there are three different types of people listening and watching this right now. There's one who's never heard the name of Jesus, they've stumbled upon this podcast, this interview, this whatever, and they were like, Oh, I just want to listen to that, and they don't know anything about Jesus, anything about the Bible, anything about what we've spoken about, and then the second one is that they've heard about Jesus, they may have followed him once upon a time, but they've slipped away, and then the third type of person is the person who is not sure, they're not sure whether they're saved, they're not sure if they're in the right relationship with Jesus, they're not sure if they've been forgiven of their sins. So, right now, listening and watching, I know that those three people are there, whether it's one person or a thousand people or a hundred people. If you're listening and watching and you find yourself in any of those three types of people, I want you to just put a thumbs up in the comments to put a comment saying that's me, putting a comment to say yes please right now, and I want you to repeat after me right now, Lord Jesus. I come to you today just as I am. Sorry, I want you to repeat after me. Lord Jesus, I come to you today just as I am. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and that you rose again to give me new life three days later. Right now, I open the door of my heart and ask you to come in, to be my Lord, to be my savior, to be my best friend. From this day forward, I choose to live for you. Fill me with your Holy Spirit, fill me with your love, fill me with your grace, and lead me every day of my life. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me. In your mighty name we pray. Amen. Thank you, Lord, thank you to anyone who repeated that prayer after me. You are now saved, you are now part of the Lord's mighty kingdom, you are now a citizen of heaven, you are not now part of heaven society. Now repent and turn away from your sins. I want you to comment below saying, Yes, I received him. Thank you, Jesus, amen. Give us any comment below so that we know that you are saved, and then I want you to go out and find a local church. If you can't, please put your area and name, and we'll do some research and try and connect you. But it's time that now that you are a brother and sister in the family of Jesus Christ, we want to help you on your journey, we want to guide you on your journey, and you can stay here and be a part of the podcast further. But we don't want you to be lost or left alone, we want you to be helped with the forgiving and turning away from all your sins and all your future sins, and just learning about what it is to be a part of the family of Jesus. What's next? We want to help you with what's next. So leave a comment below, leave where you're from below, and God loves you, we love you. Thank you for watching, thank you for accepting the greatest gift you'll ever accept. Lord, I thank you for these people. With the fact that they've received you with Amen, and we are able to connect them in their area, in their country, with fellow Christians, that fellow Christians following along, connect with them, and we grow a community that is heaven here on earth. I thank you. In your mighty name we pray, amen. To share about giving. First of all, there is absolutely no obligation to give, it's by free will and out of the goodness of our hearts. This podcast is free and will always be free, but the Bible says that when we give to God to support his ministries, he multiplies it back to us hundredfold. In Luke 638, it says, Give and it will be given to you. A good match pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. So I believe as you give into this ministry that it will be given back to you. Hundred thousandfold Lord, I thank you for every seed that has been released and sowed. When you sow into God's kingdom, you're not losing, you're planting a seed for later harvest hundred tenfold. And the word promises that seed comes back, multiplied even at a hundredfold, as I've said many a times just now. If you feel led, you can see the ways to give.com, Iawitia, I am who you say I am, or by purchasing merchandise which supports the ministry, or simply you can scan the QR on the screen directly and it'll take you directly to the link. Bless you as you give, thank you as you give. Your support means more than you know. Lord, I thank you for anyone giving, Lord, that this is a C, that we steward it correctly, and that it feeds this ministry to help it grow into what you have it to be. Lord, I thank you that when they are giving to you, not to us, not to anything, but they are supporting this so that we can lean into it more, so that we can share more, so that we can grow more, so that we can bring people into your kingdom. I thank you in your mighty name. We pray, as I said, bless you as you give, you're under no obligation. We love you, God loves you, you are engineered by the founder, and we thank you for your love and support.
