Karl Vaters interviews Brad Hill about some of the latest findings concerning the church and technology.
Brad is the Chief Solutions Officer at Gloo, an organization that came out of nowhere a few years ago, and now seems to be everywhere.
After clarifying Karl’s curiosity about who/what Gloo actually is, they talk about some of the important findings from a recent study Gloo conducted with Barna.
If you’re not an early adopter of technology, this can help you navigate the fast-changing landscape without getting bogged down in details.
The five findings Karl and Brad discuss are:
- Christians see huge potential for churches to use digital tools effectively.
- Churchgoers want pastors to address AI use thoughtfully and wisely.
- Gen Z may live online, but they still crave in-person relationships over digital connections.
- Practicing Gen Z Christians feel uncertain about whether AI is a faithful tool.
- Pastors are intentional about using tech but still prioritize relationships and collaboration as the foundation of ministry.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
