Ravens and Algorithms: How to Flourish in a World That's Changing Faster Than You Can Track

Chris Behnke, Prudence O'Haire

Elijah was starving in a drought, hunted by a queen who wanted him dead. God fed him. He used ravens to do it. Unclean birds. The wrong delivery system. Exactly the kind of thing a serious person would have refused to eat.


God used them anyway. He has never once been bothered by His delivery method. Only we have.


That's the tension we're living in right now. A new delivery system just showed up. The most powerful tool most of us have ever seen. And the church is doing what the church has done six times before with new technology. We panic. We denounce. We retreat. We show up late and complain about how the room got decorated while we were gone.


Chris didn't write Ravens and Algorithms to hype AI or to help you survive it. He wrote it because a CTO in a lobby in Tennessee said the quiet part out loud: pretty soon we won't be able to tell what's real. And that isn't the bad news. For a believer, it's one of the greatest opportunities the church has ever been handed.


In this LIVE conversation, Chris and Prudence go after the real question underneath the fear. Not “what do I do about the tool.” The deeper one. Who am I when my output stops being what makes me valuable? How do I hear God in a season this loud? How do I raise kids who can tell what's true? And why does it feel like I'm already behind?
