PulpitAI

Pastors: An enormous number (majority?) of pastors (and especially professors) are very, very out of touch with normal people and families, ESPECIALLY blue collar people. So, to reach and disciple those people you are going to need to do some things that “pastor world” finds cringe (not theologically, but in things like style, tone, often emphasis), and you will be chattered about. There will be a couple moments (not in everything) when you’ll have to decide which matters more: Being in the “inside circle” of pastor-world or actually reaching and discipling real people with real jobs and real sins and real problems in a real culture. Charles Spurgeon summarized this dynamic well when he was viciously attacked by other pastors and newspapers for his jokes in the pulpit, his “vulgar tone”, and his sort of blue collar speech: "I am perhaps vulgar, but it is not intentional, save that I must and will make the people listen. My firm conviction is that we have had quite enough polite preachers, and many require a change. God has owned me among the most degraded and off-casts. Let others serve their class; these are mine, and to them I must keep." — Charles Spurgeon

What topics or ideas around “AI & the Church” are played out? What isn’t being talked about enough or at all? I feel like there’s dozens of voices all saying the same stuff in the same way… almost like AI is writing it all 😂

Boomers love to tell you what they named their AI agent.

Happy Birthday America.
