We continue this new season of Critical Conversations with insightful discussions that educate, empower, and inspire! These dialogues concentrate on critical issues and concerns of clergy, the community, and beyond, focusing on those that impact us most in their breadth, scope, and relevance. TONIGHT, we explore Artificial Intelligence in the faith community. How Does AI Impact Us, and How Can It Help Our Faith Communities? It's been in the news. It's been on social media. It's BEEN social media. It's gotten so precise that it is difficult to determine whether or not you can believe your eyes... Is it real? Is it true? Can it be trusted? Can you, your faith communities and organizations benefit from artificial intelligence (AI)... and if so, how? Join in on the conversation. Our guest is pastor, author, educator and strategist, Rev. Dr. Justin R. Lester, who serves as the Senior Pastor of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Vallejo, CA, and is known online as @ThatTechPastor. Dr. Lester is a national voice at the intersection of faith, AI, and Black futures and is also the creator of PastorGPT, an AI platform built to serve pastors and churches.
