Churches Urged to Guide AI with Faith
Faith Facts
- Christian leaders at the World Evangelical Alliance General Assembly emphasized the need for a biblical approach to artificial intelligence.
- Panelists highlighted both the dangers and opportunities presented by AI, insisting on theological clarity and ethical action.
- Experts promoted the idea of “faithful innovation”—engaging technology with wisdom rooted in Scripture.
At the World Evangelical Alliance gathering in Seoul, respected Christian voices called on churches to shape the future of artificial intelligence by applying biblical truth rather than reacting in fear or passivity. AI was described as a powerful tool that must be approached with wisdom, discernment, and a commitment to honoring God’s design for humanity.
Panelists outlined how the church can offer a much-needed moral compass: addressing challenges to human identity, the spread of misinformation, economic injustice, and stewardship of God’s creation.
These leaders noted the potential for the church to influence technology for the good of families, communities, and the vulnerable.
Quintin McGrath presented a “trust framework” for using AI that evaluates whether technology aligns with loving God and others, strengthens real relationships, meets needs justly, and maintains accountability and stewardship. He called for moving beyond statements to hands-on action informed by faith.
Chris Watkin urged believers to evaluate AI in light of the whole biblical story, focusing on the people affected rather than on policy or culture alone. He encouraged a “people-first” ethic anchored in Scripture.
Dr. Sam D. Kim drew on the biblical pattern of “rupture and repair,” advising Christians to view technological disruption as a chance for redemption and innovation under Christ’s lordship.
“The lordship of Christ is not just about discipleship; it is lordship.”
He warned against relying on AI as a replacement for incarnational living and encouraged the church to maintain its spiritual distinctiveness.
Speaking from experience in the technology field, Nick Kim emphasized that AI reshapes human life by outsourcing intelligence itself, urging churches to respond with faithful, biblically grounded engagement rather than withdrawal.
Faith-driven innovation is essential for navigating our rapidly changing world and honoring God’s purpose in every generation.
Now is the time for Christian leaders, families, and communities to approach technology with prayer, wisdom, and boldness grounded in Scripture.

- Adam Christopher Sheafe, 51, charged with first-degree murder for pinning 76-year-old Pastor William Schonemann’s hands to a wall in crucifixion pose.
- Sheafe sought guilty plea and immediate death sentence in court to deliver quick justice for victims’ families.
- Crime part of alleged plot targeting 14 pastors nationwide due to their Christian faith.
This heinous attack on a devoted shepherd of New River Bible Chapel echoes biblical persecution of the faithful, demanding swift divine justice in our land.
Authorities linked Sheafe via burglary evidence, backpack items, and stolen truck after responding to the April 2025 scene.
Prosecutors filed charges including burglary, kidnapping, theft, trespass, and three attempted murders, vowing to pursue capital punishment.
“It’s an undisputable fact that the victim, Pastor Bill Schonemann, was over 70 years old. It’s an undisputable fact that the crime was heinous in nature. I intended it to be heinous,” Sheafe declared in court.
“From day one, I’ve said I did this. These are the reasons why I did this, and I’m not contesting anything,” he insisted.
In a confession, Sheafe admitted crafting a crown of thorns for the pastor and plotting assaults in cities like Las Vegas and New York while avoiding bystanders.
Believers must rally in prayer for protection over pastors, upholding America’s godly heritage against Satanic assaults on faith and freedom.

- Shannon Bream endured years of 10/10 chronic corneal pain, reaching suicidal despair yet clinging to God’s presence.
- Prayer led to her ideal doctor within 48 hours; surgery brought 98% pain relief and unprecedented clear vision.
- New book weaves her trial with biblical heroes like Jonah, urging perseverance and sharing mercy universally.
Fox News anchor Shannon Bream faced a rare genetic eye condition that caused unrelenting agony, testing her limits profoundly.
Through fervent prayer, she sought divine guidance to the right healer.
“If you’re not going to heal me,” she prayed, “please at least lead me to somebody to help guide me through this and lead me to the right doctor.”
Her ordeal deepened intimate knowledge of Scripture’s promises, transforming intellectual faith into lived reality.
Today, she marvels at simple sights like individual leaves, a miracle post-surgery.
“I’m literally looking out the window at the leaves on a tree, and it’s a miracle that I can see them individually,” she shared.
Bream’s ‘Nothing Is Impossible with God’ profiles figures like Moses and Peter.
It highlights triumphs over doubt, failure, and enmity through divine restoration.
Jonah’s reluctance to extend grace mirrors human biases, yet God pursues all souls relentlessly.
“God is the God of the universe. That means He wants relationship with every single human being, even those you may see as enemies.”
Embrace trials as pathways to bolder faith, bringing doubts directly to the Lord who redeems fully.
Draw from Peter’s denial to leadership, proving God’s mercy endures.
