Understanding the AI Bible, assisted suicide, congressional term limits & free speech

Dr. Mark Turman sits down with Conner Jones and Micah Tomasella from the Culture Brief podcast, as well as Dr. Ryan Denison, for a thoughtful roundtable on some of today’s most pressing cultural issues.

Together, they explore how artificial intelligence is shaping the way we encounter Scripture—including the rise of an AI Bible—and what it means for people of faith seeking truth in a digital world. They also wrestle with the complex topic of assisted suicide, comparing global approaches while reflecting on the biblical call to uphold life and compassion in suffering.

From there, the conversation turns to questions of leadership and governance, like whether congressional term limits could help restore trust in American politics, and the ongoing tension between protecting free speech and practicing biblical wisdom in public life.

It’s an honest, wide-ranging dialogue that helps listeners think clearly, live faithfully, and engage today’s culture with both courage and grace.
