I had a wonderful conversation with James Catford, one of the most significant people in my life, on the nature of obedience and where the life of formation begins. Listen to the conversation on the @renovare podcast, Friends in Formation. renovare.org/podcasts/frien…

This @CCPublicLife panel with @cjimmylin and @Mollykinder moderated by @iamnotabiv (Alex Arnold) was such a joy to be a part of!

Unknown fact: MLK was already doing philosophy of technology about “thinking machines.” He saw what happens when machines advance but our moral formation shrinks. Read his insights. brandonrickabaugh.com/what-would-mlk… #MLK #MoralFormation #AIEthics #AI

AI companions aren’t just a tech trend. They’re a formation technology. See the research and MLK's prophetic voice on technology in my new essay. brandonrickabaugh.com/popular-writin…

This year has been disorienting and troubling in many ways. Scientific and technological acceleration proceeds without the moral and spiritual development to keep pace, and our public square regularly displays hatred and antagonisms that erode trust and community. In light of all of this and more, the Christian practices of silence and solitude have much to offer to Christian communities, and to the broader public. Today, joined by a number of national partners and organizations, we are issuing A National Call to the Christian Practices of Silence & Solitude. Read the Call: silenceandsolitude.org Watch CCPL's President @MichaelRWear discuss the Call at our annual summit: youtu.be/eQM5oCY6oNw We invite you to join us in the regular practice of silence and solitude through Advent and into the coming year.

We fear AI is becoming too much like us. But @BRickabaugh, 2025 CCPL Public Life Fellow and Founder and Research Scholar at NOVUS, argues the deeper danger is that we are becoming too much like it. In “Becoming Like AI,” he examines how our pursuit of efficiency, optimization, and frictionless convenience is hollowing out the habits that make us human, and why Christians must recover a vision of wisdom, formation, and the public good in an automated age.
