44% of practicing Christians now use AI often or very often in their personal lives. Only 16% of pastors do, and 45% of pastors say not very much or not at all.
(Barna Group with Gloo, "New Barna Data: Practicing Christians are Adopting AI Rapidly," Faith & AI / State of the Church series, July 21, 2026. Surveyed November-December 2025. Gloo owns Barna and sells AI tools to churches.)
1 in 3 practicing Christians want their pastor to guide them on AI. Only 12% of pastors feel comfortable teaching about it. Only 5% of churches have established any AI guidelines.
(Barna Group + Gloo, "Christians View AI as a Gift and a Threat," April 17, 2026.)
The best AI models misquote Scripture at least 15% of the time. Some models misquote as much as 60% of the time.
(Bobby Gruenewald, YouVersion founder and CEO, interview with Christian Daily International, March 16, 2026.)
Don’t walk in the fear. Don’t be swept up in the panic. Don’t be swept into blind adoption either. Let God be the anchor. That’s what this class is about.
It is built on a simple conviction: you cannot steward what you don't understand.
We don't hand someone a chainsaw without showing them how it works.
And yet millions of people are using AI tools every single day with no framework, no guardrails, and no biblical lens to evaluate what they're receiving.
That's the gap we're here to close. – LETS PRAY
