n recent years, we’ve seen tremendous shifts in church attendance, engagement, and operational efficiency. As pastors and church leaders, we face the challenge of keeping our ministries vibrant and impactful in a rapidly changing world. I firmly believe that one of the key solutions to this challenge lies in embracing artificial intelligence (AI). This is not about replacing human connection but enhancing it in ways that free us to focus on what truly matters—prayer, people, and the mission of the church.

It's crazy how fast AI is moving these days, right? I've been keeping tabs on the latest news, and I wanted to share three big AI developments from this week that I think are pretty important. Let's dive in!

AI gives us a chance to lead well! Here is a blog post of the merging of the two and how we can apply this to lead well

ts mental health month. Whether you know it or not, i’ve attempted Suicide twice in my life. I don’t wear it as a badge of honor, rather I wear it as a reminder of Grace.

I tried killing myself. Twice.

If it weren’t for blood and a hospital, the second one would have worked. (I’m sure a lot of people wish it did. Trust me, I tried to help you!)

Since then I’ve sought to bring awareness to it and practical steps for people who are connected to friends and family like me.

Today this blog addresses three things.

1-What are some ways people self harm
