Five years ago, back in Episode 29, Misty Phillip joined me to share her incredible freedom journey, her ministry, and the Bible study that God had placed on her heart. It has been amazing to watch how God has continued to guide her steps, and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome her back to the podcast!
This time, we’re talking about a topic that affects every single one of us—Artificial Intelligence.
Misty’s newest book, The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age: Why Christians Must Discern AI, challenges believers to think critically about the technology we’re using every day. AI isn’t going away, so how do we use it wisely while remaining firmly rooted in God’s Word?
In this conversation we discuss:
- Misty’s unexpected journey from ministry into cybersecurity and AI.
- Why AI is a powerful tool—but should never replace biblical wisdom.
- The importance of protecting your personal data and digital footprint.
- The growing concerns surrounding AI, surveillance, and data collection.
- How AI is impacting children, education, mental health, and relationships.
- Why parents need to understand how their children are using AI.
- Deepfakes, misinformation, and learning to recognize truth in a digital world.
- The importance of community, discernment, and walking closely with the Holy Spirit.
- Practical ways Christians can use AI responsibly to save time while continuing to seek God first.
One of my favorite reminders from this conversation is that AI can be used for good or for bad—just like many other tools. The key is not fear, but discernment.
As technology continues to advance, we must stay anchored in God’s Word so we can recognize truth, guard our hearts, and wisely steward the tools He’s placed in our hands.
Misty reminds us that no artificial intelligence will ever replace the wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit.
