The degree to which you are awed by AI is perfectly correlated with how much you use AI to code.

It’s amazing how god-like Claude coding is. You can literally speak things into existence. People who have experienced this firsthand become completely different. Their minds open up to what is now possible, things they never imagined.

@sukh_saroy This was interesting to watch. Will creativity loss be the equivalent of forgetting everybody’s phone number with cell phones?

🚨BREAKING: If you've used ChatGPT for writing or brainstorming in the last 6 months, your creative ability may already be permanently damaged. A controlled experiment just proved the effect doesn't reverse when you stop using it. 3,302 creative ideas. 61 people. 30 days of tracking. Researchers split students into two groups. Half used ChatGPT for creative tasks. Half worked alone. For five days, the ChatGPT group outperformed on every metric. Higher scores. More ideas. Better output. AI was making them better. Then day 7. ChatGPT removed. Every creativity gain vanished overnight. Crashed to baseline. Zero lasting improvement. But that's not the bad part. ChatGPT users' ideas became increasingly identical to each other over time. Same content. Same structure. Same phrasing. The researchers called it homogenization. Everyone using ChatGPT started producing the same ideas wearing different clothes. When ChatGPT was removed, the creativity boost disappeared -- but the homogenization stayed. 30 days later, same result. Their creative range had been permanently compressed. Five days of use. Permanent damage 30 days later. A separate trial confirmed it. 120 students. 45-day surprise test. ChatGPT users scored 57.5%. Traditional learners scored 68.5%. AI reduces cognitive effort. Less effort means weaker encoding. Weaker encoding means less creative raw material. You're not renting a productivity boost. You're financing it with your originality. The interest rate is permanent.

@David_Fairchild @lsanger Always remember that 30-part series on faith & philosophy we watched by Sproul.

@lsanger As a former atheist and philosophy buff, I couldn’t agree more. Sometimes philosophers have a way of saying things theologians struggle to say.

Many Christians secretly worry: “If I read real philosophy, will it wreck my faith?” I spent 35+ years as an unbeliever for exactly that reason. Now I think the opposite is true. New: “Why Christians Should Read Philosophy” 👇 larrysanger.org/2026/03/why-sh…

@David_Fairchild I’ll go with you!

For 35 years I've wanted to visit #Iran. I pray that day comes and I can see that beautiful country with my own eyes.

@David_Fairchild @JoshuaBarzon Love it, such a non-church church name.

Today we’re excited to share the official design for Cross + Crown. Huge thanks to @JoshuaBarzon Design for taking a handful of deep convictions, half formed ideas, and big theological vision and turning them into a clean, compelling visual of who we are and who we’re becoming. He didn’t just design a logo. He helped give visible form to the heart and identity of this church. Grateful for his excellent work that serves a great mission.

@David_Fairchild You are early! Giving Tuesday is coming up. We still have more shopping and Cyber Monday! 😜

🚨 Black Friday Deal 🚨 Want the only investment that can’t crash, won’t get recalled by a congressional hearing, and will outlive crypto, AI, and most of your New Year’s gym habits? Give to the Cross & Crown church plant today. It’s a tax write off. The IRS calls it “charitable giving.” Jesus calls it “a treasure in heaven.” Same receipt, different reward. Is it an investment in the kingdom? Absolutely. The real ROI is souls, disciples, families renewed, and Ellis County getting a church that loves Jesus and people more than itself. Yoyr giving is one of the thousand miracles needed to get a church plant off the ground? Noah needed a boat. Moses needed a staff. Paul needed generous donors. And we…need like 997 small and shockingly generous miracles before we launch. So think of your giving this Black Friday as joining our startup phase. Every dollar says: I believe God is wealthy. I believe God is generous. And I believe the gospel can take ground in Ellis County. The needs are great. The gospel us greater Help us reach the spirituality homeless and reconnect spiritual orphans to the Father and His family. Message me if you’d like to give. Then give what you can. Pray like a maniac. And tell someone Jesus is better than idols, cynicism, and small ideas. He reigns. His church rises. And honestly, that’s a better deal than anything Amazon can ship you today. ;)

Each week I speak with many successful entrepreneurs, and it’s striking how AI creates one of two reactions: some see it as an extraordinary opportunity, while others view it as an existential threat to their business. They both aren’t wrong.

@David_Fairchild Congrats!

It's official! We're planting Cross & Crown in Waxahachie, Texas. This wonderful little city, about 30 minutes south of Dallas, has captured our heart. The needs are significant. But our God is able. Once more into the breach! More to come...

@colinCOBRAjones Done!

@dgoodmanson Pay for a guide. Well worth it to have someone who knows all the little details.

Heading to Peru for 8 days. Lima, Nazca, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Starlodge, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins and more. What recommendations do you have that we must do?

@ClayTravis Should they put your Iron Tribe workouts on ESPN?

This is a long read, I know, so it’s hard to summarize the tease and discuss it all there. If you guys have smart or interesting questions below, pop them in here. Favorite the ones you like the best and I’ll hop in later and try and respond to some of them.

ESPN has lost 40 million cable subscribers in the past decade, that’s $10 billion a year in lost revenue. The Hail Mary solution? A new $29.99 a month streaming @espn. But is there a market for it? Nope. A deep dive on the collapse of cable sports & ESPN: outkick.com/sports/what-ta…

@BobPritchett 100% this is a problem and source of huge passenger frustration.

Do airlines have a stats reason to not update delayed boarding times? Repeatedly arrive at gate at boarding time to find they’re just starting to deplane arriving craft. Why not update boarding time when they know it’s 20-30 minutes delayed?

I think happiness is more of a choice than we like to admit. If you wake up hunting for reasons to be miserable, you’ll never come up empty. But if you decide to go looking for what is good and beautiful, for blessings and gifts, you’ll find those too. The truth is, we tend to find what we’re looking for because we’re only looking for what we want to find. What you look for has a way of shaping what you see.
