Make Your Ministry Irreplaceable in a World of Artificial Everything
AI isn’t just changing what people do. It’s changing how they think about truth, identity, community, and God. It’s changing the economy and mental health. Most church leaders aren’t ready for what’s coming. My new book, AI and the Future Church, is for the ones who want to be.

The AI era may be the greatest disruption the church has ever faced, and its greatest opportunity to reach more people.
A world growing more artificial by the day is producing something no church growth strategy ever could: people desperately hungry for what’s real.
Work is changing fast. Mental health is declining. Truth itself feels up for grabs. And people are searching for something real.
That something is Jesus. And your church is where they’ll find him.
The church has been answering what it means to be human for two thousand years, which means you’re more prepared for this moment than you think.
In AI and the Future Church, you get the three shifts every church leader needs to make — not to survive the AI era, but to lead through it:
- Make Sundays Non-Downloadable — Create a community AI will never replicate.
- Build the Shock Absorbers Now — Increase capacity for the financial and mental health crises before they arrive.
- Fortify Your Integrity — Decide what you stand for before AI exposes what you’ll fall for.
You don’t need certainty to lead through the age of AI. You need clarity.
AI is changing our world by the minute and most church leaders I know are asking the same two questions: How do I use this wisely? And how do I prepare my church for what’s coming. If you want to learn how to leverage AI to reach more people and help your church navigate what’s coming, grab this book for you and your whole team.

A concern I carry for followers of Jesus is that AI has become a new gateway for sin. People are going to AI instead of prayers, instead of turning to the Holy Spirit or Scripture. We need a guide to help us navigate this massive change. Carey Nieuwhof is the most trusted voice I know in this space. I’m so excited for this book!
