570: Hello AI Sermons, Goodbye Saddleback, & H…

Christians in Germany are using ChatGPT to create liturgies and even preach sermons. Is the rise of AI different from previous technologies, and how should the church respond? Meanwhile, the South Baptists voted overwhelmingly to prohibit women from being pastors and banned any churches that disagree. How did an issue that even John Piper argued was not essential in 1991 become grounds for excommunication in 2023? Then, a new documentary by author and pastor, Rasool Berry, introduces the history and meaning of Juneteenth. While some MAGA conservatives are condemning the holiday as “woke,” Berry says it actually has deep connections to Christian theology and the church. Plus, Christian is searching for a castle in Belgium.

John Stott’s differences between fundamentalism and evangelicals

I made a chart of John Stott’s differences between #fundamentalists & #evangelicals. He always went to great lengths to avoid mischaracterizing others or arguing with them in bad faith. For more on this, I recommend his book, Evangelical Truth. https://t.co/5YMARhxeRt pic.twitter.com/b6NNnPNMDF
