God and the Machine: Navigating Faith in the Age of AI (God and the Machine)

By Nathan Webb

Explore the possibilities of AI with discernment and grace. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved quickly from a novelty to something that shows up in nearly every part of our lives. What once felt like small conveniences now shapes how we work, connect, learn, and even worship. For many Christians, AI can still feel like something out of a sci-fi movie, stirring up worry, confusion, or distrust. God and the Machine speaks to anyone who is unsure, curious, or somewhere in between. Ignoring AI is no longer an option, yet we are still called to approach every new tool with care and discernment. United Methodist pastor Nathan Webb guides readers through what AI means for the church, offering clarity, honesty, and hope. Along the way, you will explore how to welcome new possibilities without letting go of your values and how God may be opening up surprising, grace-filled opportunities in this emerging world. A Leader Guide is available to help you use this book as a small group study.
