United Methodist pastor Nathan Webb guides readers through what AI means for the church, offering clarity, honesty, and hope. Along the way, you will explore how to welcome new possibilities without letting go of your values and how God may be opening up surprising, grace-filled opportunities in this emerging world.

United Methodist pastor Nathan Webb guides readers through what AI means for the church, offering clarity, honesty, and hope. Along the way, you will explore how to welcome new possibilities without letting go of your values and how God may be opening up surprising, grace-filled opportunities in this emerging world.
