Here at Moore College, we’ve been thinking about the rise and spread of generative AI and what it means for education—for our students and lecturers. One thing we’ve been determined to do is not just use AI pragmatically (i.e. asking “How can we make the best use of this new technology while avoiding its pitfalls?”), but also think about what generative AI means theologically and morally. How does AI relate to what we believe human personhood, intelligence and mind is on the basis of God’s revelation to us of what all these things mean in Christ? In this episode of the Centre for Christian Living podcast, hear Tony Payne chat to writer, lecturer and podcaster Alastair Roberts about the theological and moral meaning of AI and its rise. https://t.co/9T6ee6BC14

Is it ever okay to lie? The Bible’s answer isn’t always as straightforward as we might expect. In this episode of the CCL podcast, Tony Payne speaks with Moore College OT Lecturer Jack Day about deception in the Old Testament and what it means for Christians today.

How should Christians engage with politics? Some of us keep our distance. Others engage closely. Yet many of us feel we don’t quite belong—neither Left nor Right. Join us for “Left right out: The strange position of the political Christian”, an interactive workshop from the Centre for Christian Living, as we reflect on what faithful Christian engagement looks like in the public square. Wednesday 20 May 2026 7:00–9:00pm $15 (or $12.50pp for groups of 4+) This workshop will not be livestreamed, but portions will be recorded for future CCL podcast episodes. Find out more and register: https://t.co/xRpqHzUDyv

As headphones become part of everyday life, it’s worth asking what we might be tuning out—not just noise, but people, and perhaps even God’s voice. A thoughtful reflection on listening, isolation, and the call to hear more deeply. Moore College student Paul Rajkumar reminds us that listening is a choice in this brief article.

In Part 1 of our series, we explored the extraordinary power and usefulness of the smartphone, as well as the powerful effects and consequences that follow from its widespread usage—the way that the phone, in fact, shapes the way we think about our lives and the way we act as humans. In this episode—Part 2—we’re going to think about what God says about all this—what he says about what it means to be human, and how human technology and manufacturing relates to God and to the purposes he has for humanity. How do the Scriptures shape our understanding of technology in general and the smartphone in particular? We’ll find it does so in surprising and disturbing and liberating ways. (Please note: Part 3 will be published in a fortnight’s time.) Listen Now: https://t.co/J0nfw8gkyp
