Is AI the new Tower of Babel? @mattshumer_ (an AI technologist and CEO) recently published a warning about AI that has drawn more than 80 million views on social media. His basic message (in my view) is this: most people think AI is an interesting tool, helpful, and convenient. But those closest to it are sounding the alarm that we are much farther down the rabbit hole than the average person realizes, and that the world is shifting faster, and in more disruptive ways, than we fully comprehend. In other words, many people are going to be caught off guard. As believers, though, we are not called to fear. Scripture says God has not given us a spirit of fear. We are also told not to be surprised by trials. And Jesus encouraged us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. So, we need not panic in this moment. We must learn to exercise spiritual discernment and seek to understand the times we are living in. And what exactly is this moment? Is AI simply another technological leap? Or are we watching the beginnings of something deeper? Is artificial intelligence this generation’s version of a Tower of Babel? God made man in His image. Man has now made AI in man’s image. And if that is true, then man has almost certainly passed into these systems his own flaws, biases, pride, blind spots, and imperfect judgment. So, what happens when these systems begin building their own systems? In whose image will those be shaped? No one fully knows where this leads. Even the experts and insiders cannot tell us exactly how this story ends. But believers are not left without an anchor. In strange times, we cling to what we know, and more importantly, Who we know. Technology changes. Markets change. Power shifts. Culture moves. But God does not. He is the same through every generation, and He will still be God when today’s experts are proven right, wrong, or somewhere in between. So, let’s be awake (Romans 13:11). Let’s be thoughtful (1 Cor 10:24). Let’s be discerning (Philippians 1:9-10). Let’s learn what we need to learn without surrendering to hysteria. And above all, let’s be bold in our faith. Because in uncertain times, fearful people need steady believers. 🙏🏽💗🙏🏽 PS: If you are in the Boynton Beach area and would like to join with a small band of believers encouraging each other through these stressful times, please join us for our “God Help Me, I’m Stressed” workshop on March 14, 2026 (free lunch and refreshments provided).

You’re not leading, if no one is following.

Embracing oneself through faith and inner beauty

Encouraging everyone to keep praying for Jamaica. Now that we’re able to see the utter destruction left by Hurricane Melissa, it’s truly heartbreaking. I still haven’t heard from my aunt who was hunkered down in the Black River area where the storm made landfall and caused the most devastation. More to come, as our ministry is reaching out to see where we can bring some help and relief. 🙏❤️

@BethMooreLPM Agree and Agree. Noted.

This is to you Jesus followers who are also in ministry from your big sister who has seen a lot, read a lot, heard a lot and experienced a lot. I don’t believe people surrender to a calling with impure motives. They may not know what they’re getting themselves into but it’s not the kind of thing most people imagine at that point making them rich or powerful and able to manipulate and exploit and perform. But Satan uses every possible scheme to lead us “astray from [our] sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” (2 Cor 11:3) I can’t say this strongly enough. Be relentless in your protection of your own relationship with Jesus. Let no one—and I do mean no one—get between you and Jesus. This is not only for your benefit. It is for theirs. Do not let your own time of prayer and Bible reading turn into preparation for messages. If you do not have regular times of prayer and Bible reading, Saint, you are already cooperating with the enemy’s scheme to lead you astray. Return to the spiritual disciplines. Nothing replaces them and you are not the exception. Do not let what you are pouring out exceed what you have invited Jesus to pour in. In the powerful words of the apostle Paul, “having begun in the Spirit, will we now finish in the flesh??” Do not hand over your prayer life to intercessors. Let your thorn in the flesh which you no doubt have and I certainly have continue to pop the balloon of an inflated ego. That’s what it’s for. Serve with humility. One word. Jesus. Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus. This ONE is all that will matter at the end of the day. At the end of our lives. Every single one of us has the capacity to lose our way and exploit the work and the gifts God has given us to make a show of our flesh. We are quick to talk about people who fall into scandalous sins but there is something much more sinister that can go on for years and everyone see it in us…but us. There is simply falling away from sincere devotion and somewhere along the way replacing our first love. We can do this, Saints. But we will not do it by accident.

@InspiredByWayne Thank you for this reminder.

@InspiredByWayne Today is a day to remember freedom isn’t free. Great reminder Wayne

“I Chose This Country” — The Story of Madeleine Albright She wasn't born American, but she chose to be. And then she helped shape it. Madeleine Albright was born in Prague. Her family fled the Nazis. Then the Communists. By age 11, she had already been a refugee twice. Eventually, they arrived in the United States as strangers in a strange land. She learned the language and studied hard. She earned a Ph.D. and raised a family. In 1997, she became the first female U.S. Secretary of State, the highest-ranking woman in the U.S. government at the time. A Czech refugee became America’s top diplomat. She once said, “America is not just a country, it’s an idea, and it’s an idea that has inspired people around the world.” And she never stopped fighting for the ideas of democracy and freedom. She stood firmly for the belief that where you come from should never limit where you’re allowed to go. Here’s the lesson: This country’s promise has always been this: You don’t have to be born here to rise here. This July 4th, let’s remember that no matter how stuck you may feel, you have the power to change your situation, in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

@InspiredByWayne Wayne Gill, accent bias can be subtle. People may not come out and say it, but they comment on how fast you speak or to constantly repeat yourself. For years, this held me back from accepting speaking engagements, until I embraced my uniqueness which includes my natural voice 😊

Arianna Huffington – From Greek Accent to Global Media They said she didn’t speak English well enough to make it in journalism. She proved them wrong. Born in Athens, Arianna Huffington moved to the UK, then the U.S., where she battled through accent bias, academic snobbery, and political backlash. She wrote bestsellers. Ran for governor of California. Then in 2005, she launched a quirky news blog: The Huffington Post. It exploded into one of the world’s most influential digital media brands. Here’s the lesson: Don’t wait to be accepted. Build your own table. And if necessary, build your own network to sit around it. Where are you being underestimated today?

@InspiredByWayne Powerful story Wayne Gill. As you know, our leadership journey is all about #purposecenteredleadership. This CEO is a picture of what that means. Leadership that marries profit with purpose; success with grace and compassion. Thanks for the share!

Hamdi Ulukaya – From Goat Farmer to Yogurt King He didn’t inherit a factory. He bought one nobody wanted. Hamdi Ulukaya was born into a Kurdish dairy-farming family in Turkey. He came to the U.S. to learn English. Barely spoke the language. He slept in his car. In 2005, he found an old, shuttered yogurt plant in upstate New York. It was falling apart because Kraft had abandoned it. But Hamdi had a vision beyond yogurt. He wanted to build a company people would be proud to work for. He hired displaced factory workers. He gave them equity. He donated a chunk of profits to refugees. And oh, he created Chobani, a billion-dollar brand. Here’s the lesson: Business can be more than profit margins. It can be a vehicle for tremendous good in the world. Kindness scales. Empathy sells. And people follow leaders who remember the human side of the hustle. What would your business look like if generosity were built into its DNA?

@InspiredByWayne I have always loved the Iman story. She was an inspiration for many young Black girls all over the world. I first heard about her in my early teens while living in Jamaica🇯🇲. I was excited and proud when her makeup came on the market. That was such an inspiring accomplishment!

Iman – Not Just a Pretty Face. She escaped war in Somalia and was discovered in Nairobi. But she wasn’t “found.” She already knew who she was. Iman arrived in America and redefined what it meant to be a supermodel. Regal. Bold. Unapologetically African. She refused to be exoticized. She pushed for darker foundation shades. She launched her own cosmetics line for women of color decades before the mainstream caught up. Here’s the lesson: Identity is not a weakness to hide. It’s a platform to lead from. And when you own your story, the world eventually adjusts. What part of your heritage makes you stronger?

Maybe the thing you think you’re supposed to be doing is not the thing you will become known for.

@InspiredByWayne Great ideas will find you when you’re open to the possibilities. Tunnel vision closes you off.

Levi Strauss – The Immigrant Who Built America’s Toughest Brand. He didn’t come for glory. He came for survival. In 1847, a 17-year-old German-Jewish immigrant named Levi Strauss arrived in America with little more than a dream and rolls of dry goods to sell. He was supposed to sell canvas for tents and wagons during the California Gold Rush. But one miner had a different request: “What we really need are pants that don’t fall apart.” Levi listened. He partnered with a tailor and started producing rugged trousers reinforced with copper rivets. The world’s first pair of blue jeans was born. From there, the Levi’s brand exploded into American folklore, not because of fashion, but because of function. He created gear for workers, not runways. But somehow, he ended up dressing the world. Here’s the lesson: You don’t have to invent something flashy. You just have to solve a real problem, and listen when your audience tells you what they need. Levi Strauss didn’t start out trying to build an empire. He started by being useful. Ever had to build something from the ground up?

the years until I wrote my own. Thank you Beth for being an obedient servant of Christ. All the best to you my sister🙏🏽❤️

at 27 who was born prematurely weighing 2 pounds. At that point I sought the Lord, started visiting a small Baptist church, and discovered Beth Moore's Bible studies. The first one I took was "A Woman's Heart, God's Dwelling Place", changed my life forever. I taught several over

@BethMooreLPM As I sit here contemplating the faithfulness of God, my thoughts turn to you and here is why. I have loved the Lord since I was 12 years old and walked firmly in that love until I was about 18. I dipped my toes into more worldly endeavors until I had my first child
