Bobby Gruenewald on the hidden dangers of ChatGPT


Hi Reader,

Can you really trust ChatGPT as a Christian? That’s the question I asked Bobby Gruenewald, founder of YouVersion, the Bible app that just hit one billion installs.

In this episode, Bobby and I talk about what that milestone really means—and why it signals a growing global hunger for Scripture. But, we also go deep on the new frontier of technology: artificial intelligence.

Bobby shares why, despite AI’s incredible potential, he’s urging church leaders to slow down, stay discerning, and protect what’s true. He tells one story that will make you rethink how you use AI tools in your own ministry. It’s fascinating, a little alarming, and deeply hopeful.

Because while the world races ahead with algorithms, Bobby reminds us that the Bible’s accuracy and trustworthiness are more vital than ever. In an age of confusion, God’s Word remains the one place you can count on truth.
