What if the engineers building the most powerful AI in history don't think they're writing code?

One of Silicon Valley's most respected investors says they're not. He says they're midwifing a deity.

The church has a word for the dream of becoming your own source of transformation.

It's not a compliment.

What happens when the Pope stands next to the co-founder of the most powerful AI company on earth and together they release the most important theological document of our generation?

This isn't the start of a joke. Today that happened.

And every Christian with a smartphone needs to know what it says about faith and what it means to be human. drewdickens.substack.com

The church spent decades learning to be found. It hasn't started learning to be understood.

What if the biggest threat to the church isn't that AI gives wrong answers, but that it gives averaged ones? Vague theology disappears when AI interprets you.

Please forward this to your pastor and ask them to start listening at 13:00.

3 in 10 Christians trust AI for spiritual guidance as much as their pastor. That number is even higher among those who show up every week.
Something is discipling your people. You just haven't named it yet.

What if your church's silence on AI isn't wisdom, it's abdication?

Stress isn't the enemy. Research shows that how you perceive stress matters more than the stress itself. When you learn to meet it rightly, stress can sharpen focus, build resilience, and draw you back to what truly matters.

You're not just tired. You're soul-tired.

Caffeine doesn't touch it. A good night's sleep won't fix it. It's the weight of constant noise, fractured attention, and a soul that hasn't had a quiet moment in longer than you can remember.

Selah is how you show up to that invitation.

💙 A spiritual companion that meets you in your actual moment — not a generic devotional, but prayer shaped around what you're carrying today.
💙 Scripture read slowly, at a pace designed for stillness.
💙 Five minutes of guided practice that stays with you all day.

Not one more thing to add to your day. The thing your day is missing.

The church is writing newsletters. Silicon Valley is rewriting the world. Are you paying attention?

What if your quiet time actually felt quiet?
Not another devotional to rush through. A space shaped around you — your Scripture, your pace, your moment with God.
That's Selah. An AI companion for prayer and reflection from the team at Encountering Peace.

Your first session is waiting. 👇
