Nope. Everything is explained in plain English, with clear definition and zero jargon. If you can read a church board report, you can read this book. (Likely, this is easier.)

AI isn't a big-church issue. Your congregation (whether it's 50 people or 5,000), is already using AI daily. I think this book matters more in a small church, not less. The question isn't whether AI affects your church; it's how.

I understand the instinct. Leaders said the same thing about television, then the internet, then smartphones. Generations of church leaders have looked at the technology reshaping people's lives and hoped it would blow over (it never does). This book exists to help you lead well in this era, whatever comes next.

Good. You should read this book especially, then. This isn't a cheerleading manual. Some of the most important chapters are about the real dangers: the mental health fallout, the threat to human connection, and what constant AI use does to our ability to think deeply. Your skepticism is welcome here. I hope it can be informed skepticism with agency to make a real difference.

I get that your plate is full. That's why every pre-order comes with the executive summary (all three shifts in one sitting) and the full audiobook, free. Read it, skim it, or listen on your commute; just start the conversation.
