We can accurately represent Christ and we will
The scriptures are clear
No friend of God is a friend of the world
Loving righteousness will make you HATE every expression of unrighteousness
Jesus will help us.
Also, don’t get too comfortable with the idea that AI won’t replace designers.
The future is clear: you either learn to control the model, or the model ends up controlling your relevance.
And when that happens, you’re replaceable.
So gird up.

This is how AI fits into my workflow right now.
We’ve moved past building on guesswork.
Request → Prototype → Feedback → Iterate
What used to take days now happens in mins and both parties are happy 🤝
Built this with Claude.
Design → implementation in real time.
What I've realized building this, is that everything looks perfect in Figma…until it hits real constraints.
I work at a growth-stage edtech company in Ireland. Our product is live, but every day is about iteration.
We run structured product experiments tied closely to marketing. The team goes directly into schools, speaks with administrators, teachers, and parents, and brings back qualitative feedback. At the same time, we track behavioral data through Mixpanel to see how the product is actually performing in the wild.
So we’re constantly balancing two signals:
What users say.
What users actually do.
Some days it’s bug fixes uncovered by real usage. Other days it’s refining flows based on drop-off data. Sometimes it’s building new features driven by feedback loops from schools and parents.
A live product isn’t “done.”
It’s a continuous cycle of listening, measuring, adjusting, and shipping.
That’s what we do every day.
MINISTRY... YOUNGER PEOPLE
Every year, during MiS, we invite an elder to teach and minister to us. We seek to learn from their experience acquired over decades of walking with the Lord. We expect them to tell us a lot of how they've seen God's word play out. Experience.
I see younger ministers trying to do the same a lot these days. I see people starting out in ministry focusing on 'firing people up' to make an impact, or to pray prayers, or to be disciplined. It is very effective, short-term. It may even be some form of spirit-coated motivational exercise unto good works. I get it. But I think it is inappropriate. Leave that work for elders. And do it very sparingly. If you are young, bury your life in the scripture. Exegesis. Hermeneutics. These should be your obsession.
Teach the scriptures. Expound it. Teach it raw. Let stories and illustrations be scanty in your delivery. Aim for naked mastery of the word. No toppings, no garnishing. If you are young, you don't have the breadth and the luxury for that sort of unhinged, even if fiery protocol. Yrs, i know that it is tempting to go that exciting route, because it usually sparks prayer. Young audiences go ga-ga at such deliveries and it might even make you popular. But your soul, your soul, o man of God, will be lean. Your asernal will have petrol, but not rocks. Your word-store will be emasculated, and your doctrine will be flippant and emotional.
You will start to depend on 'inspiration' a lot, and you will start to commit doctrinal blunders frequently.
You may have fire. But you will lack wood to keep that fire burning. Your ministry will spark people, but will hardly ground them. We build with doctrine, unembelished doctrine.
If you are young, leave the elders to 'speak', leave 'talk' for them. If you are young, labour in the word, in doctrine. Let those who hear you be burdened with untempered excavations from the word. Be meaty. Just keep at the word. Stay with scriptures. Let most of your statements be clear explication of the text of scripture before you.
I will say more later. And when I do, I will still end with this paraphrase from a wise man: learn to read the lines before attempting to read between the lines. Till then, stay with the 'lines'.
