Pete Killingley is Head of Church Engagement for CARE–Christian Action Research and Education in the UK.  He helps Christians and churches engage with politics with truth and grace, and think through the big ethical issues being debated in our public square with clarity and compassion. His first book is A Christian's Guide to AI. It’s a book designed to help readers weigh up the everyday implications of navigating life and faith alongside AI–with humility and a hopeful outlook. In this conversation Pete explains why he speaks of AI as apparent intelligence rather than artificial intelligence. And he offers up some helpful questions to ask any time you’re weighing whether or not to use AI in any particular situation.

Jen Pollock Michel is an author, speaker, and mentor in the MFA in creative writing at Whitworth University. She is the author of six books, most recently A Rule for the Rest of Us: An Ancient Practice for Making the Daily Decisions that Shape Faithful Lives, Every Monday she sends out a Substack newsletter, A Habit Called Faith. You can subscribe at jenpollockmichel.substack.com. In this episode, Jen and Jonathan Rogers talk about the Rule of Saint Benedict, and the idea that a “rule for life” has more to do with guideposts or handrails than laws or demands or even catalog of commitments—and certainly not a means of working harder or longer, but a means of simplification and clarification in the midst of of overwhelming choices and the cult of productivity. And we talk about five steps for making your own personal rule.
