If AI can step into the role of a therapist, pastor, or friend—why turn to a person? In this conversation with Jay Kim (@practheway), our Partner for Theology & Culture @ahc reflects on the rise of AI and its promises—contrasting them with what only persons, filled with the Spirit, can offer: trust, forgiveness, and love.

I was asked this question recently, and I had the same reaction. It’s not a primary word I would attribute to him as relating to his missional strategy. But he did use it twice here: thegospelcoalition.org/about…

“You want a horse, but only a good one. You want a farm, only a good one. You want a house, only a good one. You want a wife, only a good one. You want a shirt, only a good one. Boots, only good. It’s only your soul you accept bad.” —Augustine, sermon on Psalm 118

One of the most comprehensive investigations of Canada's euthanasia program was written by @AlexanderRaikin in @tnajournal. It makes for a chilling read. It's really a remarkable piece of long-form journalism. Make time for it. thenewatlantis.com/publicati…

Everyone on both sides of the political aisle agrees that boys growing up apart from their fathers are more likely to drop out of school, be addicted to drugs and alcohol, commit crime. But the problem of father absence began earlier than most of us think. It started after the Industrial Revolution, when fathers had to leave home all day to work:

On the train to Yale to tell students to have more children, earlier. What do we say no to, when we say no to children? -No to hope/futurity -No to need/dependence -No to particularity -No to the idea that the world can exceed our plans/control
The Yale Political Union is excited to host Leah Sargeant on Monday, January 29 to discuss the resolution: Have More Kids. The event will begin at 7:30PM EST. Meet us in SSS 114 to debate!

Do people who oppose legalized suicide think it’s better for a person to shit the bed for 3-5 years in a state of dementia? What exactly is your worldview?
