God does not intend His people to be caught unaware, but to recognize the challenges AND opportunities He has allowed and orchestrated. Blinders are good until they blind us to the dangers staring us straight in the face – dangers to our families, friends, and fellowships. God has purposefully birthed and positioned us for this kairos moment. #iamjustthepen #inLightConsulting

From a Christian perspective, the Metacrisis represents the cumulative effect of mankind’s rebellion during the Enlightenment, Modernity, and the Information Technology Age. Regrettably, the church’s conformity with the world has left it equally vulnerable to the Metacrisis. To be God’s instrument of salt and light to the world, we must first get over our own deluded state.

The big “R” Reality of God is bigger on the inside than it appears from the outside. For those familiar with The Last Battle (the seventh book of the Chronicles of Narnia): the further up and in you go, the bigger it gets. For those who prefer something more sci-fi, think Dr. Who’s Tardis. Moreover, every redeemed Christian is now infinitely bigger on the inside than on the outside. We have become vessels of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Shepherds are responsible to their Master for the spiritual, psychological, and emotional safety of His people. Can you imagine a pastor, preacher, teacher, or leader of any kind ignoring the dangers that lie ahead in the digital world? The current damage will be increased – perhaps exponentially – with the advent of AI and the use of LLMs. AI is not going away; it cannot be unplugged; and those entrusted to our care are mostly unaware of the danger it poses for individuals, families, and fellowships.

Reading this, you will experience a challenging irony: the enchanting power of an LLM to summarize a 300-page MIT study on the dangers of its use. AI and LLMs are not going away. Many will be caught up in the enchanting power of AI LLMs. Those of us with Godly wisdom must step up and forward to warn everyone entrusted to our care. We must become like the Sons of Issachar, “who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do (1Chronicles 12:32).”

The perspectives we take into the storms of life are critical, make-or-break paradigms. If we think like the world, we will seek worldly solutions. This is the only option for most of mankind. Christians, on the other hand, have the perspective of heaven (Ephesians 2:6). We would be foolish to set our minds on anything else.

We are living in exciting times. For reasons beyond my paygrade, God determined to put us on this planet during this critical time for both church and society. Our families, fellowships, friends, and neighbors desperately need the sons and daughters of God to reveal themselves, step into the breach, and create some space for triage-level mitigation, barrier building, and restoration.
Restoring (Some of) What Has Been Lost to Digital Age Technology Read More »
Every parent wants their kids to have things – particularly the things other kids have; and so, collectively, we gave our kids smart phones and access to social media platforms. We now know that those digital age technologies have harmed more than helped and continue to endanger and make their lives less rich. Consequently, we must work together to implement spiritual and practical barriers against them and the increasingly destructive effects of their Artificial Intelligence (AI) empowered offspring.

Over the years, I have developed what most would consider a rigorous devotional practice. Rigorous is not for everyone, but I can testify that every bit of time and attention invested into God’s kingdom receives a King’s reward. He is ever faithful; and ever present. As we’ve been known to say: The Father loves speaking with His children.
