030: Is AI Sabotaging Your Ability to Make Decisions?

Show Notes

AI is becoming a bigger part of how we make decisions — from choosing what we watch to making major financial decisions. But what happens when we rely on it too much? Could we be outsourcing our ability to think critically, seek God’s wisdom, and grow through the decision-making process?

In this episode, I’m breaking down how AI is already influencing our choices and why that’s not always a good thing. I’ll share the 6 reasons I hesitate to rely on AI for decision-making and what we might be sacrificing when we let technology take the lead.

You’ll learn practical ways to stay in control of your choices, why spiritual discernment is irreplaceable, and how to use AI wisely — without losing your God-given decision-making ability.

If you’ve ever felt tempted to let technology make choices for you, this episode is a must-listen.
