Join us for a timely conversation with Holly Lazzaro, chair of the newly formed Ad-Interim Committee on Digital Discipleship in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. In this episode, we explore what it means to be a faithful follower of Jesus in an increasingly digital world. Holly shares how the Presbytery of the East brought an overture to the 46th General Assembly that led to the creation of this important committee, tasked with developing a position paper to help the EPC think biblically about discipleship in the digital age.
The conversation tackles the polarized reactions people often have to artificial intelligence, and why the church needs a more nuanced, theologically grounded approach. Holly outlines seven ethical categories the church should consider, but also highlights positive ways churches can leverage technology—when it points people toward people, removes administrative friction from ministry, and becomes a subject of discipleship itself.
