In this timely Lenten episode, host Christina Sabo welcomes back Theresa Payton CEO and founder of Fortalice Solutions, cybersecurity expert, and the first female White House Chief Information Officer under President George W. Bush. 

The two have a wide-ranging conversation on navigating faith, technology, and truth in today's digital world. The conversation covers how Catholics can respond faithfully to the Nancy Guthrie disappearance case amid a flood of AI-generated misinformation, how AI scams are specifically targeting the faithful and what to do about it, and how the three Lenten pillars of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving can shape the way we engage with technology and media.
