  • Resumen

  • Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how some pastors write sermons, lead meetings, and care for people—but what are the theological and ethical boundaries for its use in ministry? In this wide-ranging conversation, Mike Neglia speaks with Dr Paul Hoffman about the promises and perils of AI for preachers and church leaders. Together they explore the difference between narrow and general AI, how it can streamline administrative work, and why it should never replace the Spirit-led work of sermon preparation. This thoughtful exchange offers both caution and clarity for pastors navigating technology in a rapidly changing world.Together, they explore the difference between general and narrow AI, where it can be useful in pastoral ministry (meeting prep, research, organising sermon notes), and where it poses serious spiritual and ethical concerns (outsourcing sermon writing, shortcuts in discipleship). Paul makes a passionate case for the irreplaceable role of the preacher’s soul in interpreting and applying God’s Word—and warns against any technological solution that would diminish that.Mike and Paul also talk about the pastoral and educational implications of AI use, including issues of plagiarism, critical thinking, spiritual formation, and the need for deep wisdom in an age of endless information. You’ll hear reflections on how AI can help—and how it might hinder—our calling to shepherd people toward Christlikeness.If you’re a pastor, Bible teacher, student, or church leader wrestling with how to navigate new tech wisely, this episode will offer clarity, caution, and encouragement.👤 About Dr Paul HoffmanDr Paul A.
