What happens when an AI won't agree with your interpretation of Scripture? In this dramatic retelling, I walk through a late-night study session where the AI pushed back, argued, and refused to move on 1 Corinthians 11. This is the story of that debate—and what it reveals about hermeneutics, truth, and the future of Bible study.

ChatGPT now reaches 800 million weekly users—and the church is completely unprepared for what that means. In this episode, we examine how AI is reshaping authority, interpretation, discipleship, and the future of Christianity itself. Seven unavoidable consequences the church must face—now.

What happens when an AI refuses to agree with you about the Bible? In this unexpected episode, I share how a discussion on 1 Corinthians 11 turned into a real hermeneutical debate—because the AI pushed back instead of echoing my interpretation.

We begin our exegetical study of Luke 17:11-19. In this episode we look at Luke 17:11-14

Psalm 80:5 speaks of a nation fed with the "bread of tears." In this episode, we explore why these tears were covenant judgment for Israel — and why this does not apply to modern nations or to Christians. If God punished believers this way, it would deny the cross itself. Instead, Psalm 80 points us to Christ, who drank the cup of judgment so we would never have to.

Every passage of Scripture has a hermeneutical center—an interpretive key that unlocks its true meaning. In this episode, we explore what a hermeneutical key is, how to identify it, and why finding it prevents misreading the text. We then apply this method to Luke 17:11–19

A midnight story about a hidden room, a forgotten tape, and the quiet truth found at the end of a ministry.

Before we can interpret the healing of the ten lepers, we must understand the world of the text. This episode examines the geographical, historical, covenantal, priestly, and literary context of Luke 17:11–19

Luke 17:11–19 is one of the most familiar miracle stories in Scripture—yet also one of the most misinterpreted. In this episode, we walk through the most common ways people understand the Ten Lepers

A hard-hitting look at the entire Thanksgiving-sermon industry. We expose the clichés, the moralism, the hermeneutical failures, and the theological problems behind the seasonal flood of "be thankful" messages—and then end with a powerful, Gospel-centered, reality-facing vision of true biblical thanksgiving.

AI is producing biblical content at massive scale — but it often repeats the same hermeneutical mistakes common in modern preaching. This episode explores how to train AI to handle Scripture faithfully from the start, and why getting hermeneutics right now is essential for the church's future

A completely unplanned live experiment. I open the SermonAudio app, pick something at random, and work with AI in real time to build a sermon, Bible study, or theological lesson from scratch — then teach it live. No prep, no notes, just a raw demonstration of what AI can do instantly.

An AI-generated "Christian singer" has just hit #1 on the Christian and Gospel charts. In this episode, we examine the rise of Solomon Ray, how an artificial voice reached the top, and what this means for Christian worship, discernment, and the future of faith-based music.

AI is producing 3,000 podcast episodes every week—and the same technology can generate tens of thousands of sermons, Bible studies, devotionals, and theology lessons.

We conclude our review of a sermon on Luke 20:27-40

Heading into Thanksgiving week, many feel unseen, overwhelmed, or alone. Psalm 56:8 gives this comfort: God counts your wanderings and keeps your tears. In this episode, we explore the tear that God bottles—the tear He refuses to forget.

I start a review of a sermon on Luke 20:27–40

We build an observational outline of Luke 1:67-79

My confusion leads me to look into a famous devotional by J.C. Philpot

Why don't we learn? Why do we fail again and again? Today we begin examining a sermon that builds everything on that question—and asks us to look squarely at our own repeated patterns of collapse.
