A personal reflection on how embracing technological change mirrors our walk of faith, transforming challenges into divine opportunities for growth and ministry.

“Then the Lord said to me, ‘Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.'” – Habakkuk 2:2 (NLT)

The Digital Highway Before Us

Recently, I found myself captivated by Jensen Huang’s interview comparing AI to the interstate highway system. As a Christian technology enthusiast, this analogy resonated deeply with my spirit. Just as those highways transformed America’s landscape, AI is carving new pathways in our digital world. But what truly excites me isn’t just the technological advancement—it’s the divine parallel I see in this transformation.

Think about it: when the interstate system was built, it wasn’t just about faster roads. It sparked a complete reimagining of American life. Communities grew, businesses flourished, and new possibilities emerged. Similarly, AI isn’t just about automating tasks—it’s about opening doors we never knew existed.

Divine Innovation: Seeing Through Heaven’s Eyes

“For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?” – Isaiah 43:19 (NLT)

In my prayer time, I’ve been reflecting on how God often works through innovation to advance His kingdom. Those early visionaries who imagined an interconnected highway system remind me of biblical characters like Joseph, who prepared for future challenges with divine foresight. Today, we’re called to exercise similar vision with AI—not seeing it as a threat, but as a God-given tool for kingdom advancement.

The elimination of mundane tasks through AI isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about stewardship. When we’re freed from repetitive work, we can invest more time in relationship-building, creative problem-solving, and ministry opportunities that truly require the human touch.

From Fear to Faith: Embracing the Change

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” – 2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)

I’ll be honest—I initially approached AI with trepidation. Questions about job displacement and ethical implications weighed heavily on my mind. But through prayer and reflection, I’ve come to see that fear is not from God. Just as the interstate system didn’t eliminate jobs but transformed them, AI is reshaping how we work while creating new opportunities for human creativity and connection.

In my own work, I’ve witnessed how AI tools can enhance rather than replace human capability. They’re like the modern equivalent of the printing press—a revolutionary technology that ultimately served to spread God’s Word more effectively.

A Heart of Gratitude: The Technology Stewardship

Living in this era fills me with profound gratitude. We have unprecedented tools at our disposal to serve others and share the Gospel. Like the highways that connected distant communities, AI can bridge cultural and linguistic gaps, making the Great Commission more achievable than ever.

I’m particularly excited about how AI can help us:

• Translate biblical content into numerous languages instantly
• Create personalized discipleship resources
• Reach unreached people groups through innovative methods
• Enhance church administration and community engagement
• Develop more effective teaching and learning tools

Summary: The Road Ahead

As we navigate this AI revolution, let’s approach it with faith, wisdom, and holy excitement. The same God who guided His people through previous technological and social transformations remains sovereign over this new digital frontier. Let’s be like the men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what to do (1 Chronicles 12:32).
