Can AI Disciple You?
Episode 1
Friday, 30 May, 2025
In this episode, Nathan and Cameroon dive deep into the rising tide of AI in theological education, especially its implications for seminaries, spiritual formation, and the future of pastoral training. Drawing from Cameron Schaefer’s provocative article on Mere Orthodoxy, they discuss how AI may soon outpace traditional online seminary models and why Christian institutions must shift from being sources of information to curators of formation. Join as they explore the irreplaceable value of embodied ministry, human mentorship, and habitual wisdom in the digital age. Is AI a tool, a threat, or a catalyst for rethinking how we form Christian leaders? Listen for robust theological dialogue, real-world applications, and a hopeful vision for a hybrid future. 📚💻🧠🔍 Topics Covered:AI in higher education & seminariesThe limits of digital discipleshipSpiritual formation vs. information downloadHybrid models of theological trainingPastoral presence in an AI worldThe value of embodied wisdom and habits📧 Interested in the Backyard Seminary cohort?
