576:Christian A.I., Church Dropouts, & Fixing Men with Christine Emba

Published: Aug. 2, 2023, 10 a.m.

A new chatbot based on OpenAI claims to have a \u201cbiblical worldview\u201d and invites users to ask questions directly to the Apostle Paul. Is this a helpful tool, or another step closer to replacing Christian community with artificial intelligence? Then, a new article in The Atlantic says 40 million Americans have stopped attending church because our culture is addicted to work and no longer values community. But is it all the culture\u2019s fault, or does the church also carry some blame? Washington Post columnist, Christine Emba, is back to discuss her new report about the masculinity crisis. She explains why voices on the far right are engaging men with a message of misogyny and anger, while voices on the left aren\u2019t trying to engage men at all. Is there a better way out of the crisis? Also this week\u2014toxic zombie worms
