Can AI actually help fulfill the Great Commission?
In this episode, Jay Kranda (Innovative Tech Pastor at Saddleback
Church) discusses the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
to digital ministry. He emphasizes that AI serves as a tool to
enhance—not replace—in-person connection and ministry efforts.
This session was recorded during the Impact AI Summit, hosted by Media Impact International (MII) in Cairo, Egypt. In this talk, Jay provides practical language and frameworks to help ministry teams understand and adopt AI effectively. He specifically emphasizes the importance of discerning which tools are actually relevant to the people you are reaching and to your specific ministry calling.
In this video, you will learn how to discern relevant
tools and avoid being distracted by every new technology. Hear
practical tips on creating an AI policy for churches to ensure safe
and effective use. Discover ways to leverage AI to "redeem the
time" and upgrade your ministry team's workflow.
This episode is for anyone serious about the intersection of AI and
the Great Commission. After watching, you’ll have a clearer roadmap
for how to use AI to produce spiritual fruit in your community.
