▪️In 2026: I’m following Christ—and I’m calling you to come with me!
We’re reflecting together on John 1–4:
The Word dwells among us,
living water flows eternally,
the eternal Home stands wide open.
From childlike wonder to profound knowing of the Creator.

What if worship looked nothing like what you expect? I mean, no rituals, no fancy ceremonies. Would it still honor God? Jesus said worship must come “in spirit and truth.” That’s a lot heavier than just going through the motions. I’ve wrestled with this—sometimes I wonder if I’m just ticking boxes. But true worship asks for more. It wants your heart, not your habit. So how do we hold on to tradition without losing what really matters? I’d love to hear how you’ve figured this out.

“Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors.” (Psalm 119:24)

In a world of loud, changing opinions, there is profound rest in returning to the Counselor who never changes. After 50 years of ministry, I’ve found that delighting in His Word isn’t just a duty—it’s what keeps the soul steady when the storm hits.

Sometimes there’s no logical solution. God is going to supernaturally turn it around. If we take matters into our own hands, we’re going to be frustrated. Don’t try to change things that only God can change.

Pope Leo XIV just teamed up with Anthropic AI. They want to build a Global Ethics Framework together. Today, the Vatican dropped its first AI-focused encyclical called Magnifica Humanitas. It's a rare clash of old faith and new tech. The letter says human dignity must guide AI, not profit or convenience. But here's where it gets tricky. Can the Church lead on AI without losing its spiritual way? I'm torn on this one, honestly. What do you think this means for faith and technology going forward?

[Paul Delashaw @pastorpld]

When the co-founder of Anthropic, Chris Olah, stands on the same stage with the Pope presenting an encyclical on artificial intelligence, it’s worth pausing to reflect.
A man who is building systems capable of surpassing human intelligence is now helping the Church define what “Magnifica Humanitas” — the greatness of man — truly means.
But Scripture speaks clearly:
“Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28)
The true greatness of man is not found in technology or artificial intelligence. It is found only in Christ.
Can the Church bless what may potentially replace the image of God in man?
This is not merely a partnership. This is a serious spiritual choice.

[Paul Delashaw @pastorpld]

Pope Leo XIV said today that humanity must choose between a new Babylon and a city where God dwells with man.
But here’s the real question:
When the Church officially forms a partnership with a company building artificial superintelligence — is she entering Babylon to change it… or has she already begun building it from within?
“You cannot serve both God and money.” (Matthew 6:24)
Or does this rule no longer apply to technology?
Where does true authority lie today — in the Word of God, or in partnership with Anthropic?
What do you think?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Paul Delashaw @pastorpld]

Pope Leo XIV just partnered with Anthropic — the company behind Claude AI — to "guide humanity through artificial intelligence."

Let that sink in.

The same institution that once condemned Galileo for science now embraces the most powerful technology ever created.

Is this wisdom? Or is this the Church aligning with the very system that could replace the need for faith altogether?

I want to hear from you:

Should the Church partner with AI companies — or stand apart as a prophetic voice warning against them?
