Abounding Grace Radio: March 11, 2026

AI: The New Tower of Babel

Rev. Chris Gordon and Rev. Dan Borvan discuss the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence and its profound implications for the Christian life and the future of work.

In this episode, Rev. Chris Gordon welcomes Rev. Dr. Dan Borvan to the studio to tackle a topic that is rapidly reshaping our world: Artificial Intelligence. As technology moves at a speed that many have yet to fully grasp, pastors Gordon and Borvan discuss the inevitable disruptions to various industries. They explore the pastoral necessity of preparing congregations for these shifts, highlighting the potential for significant job losses and the subsequent deaconal needs that may arise within the church.

They discuss the ethical vacuum surrounding AI development, drawing parallels to the "Tower of Babel" and the secular quest for a man-made utopia. Despite the "scary" aspects of an unknown technological future, the discussion remains anchored in Reformed principles, emphasizing that God’s sovereignty and the created principle of work remain unchanged. Whether AI is viewed as a tool to be mastered or a challenge to be navigated, the message is clear: Christians must not be caught off guard but should remain calm, knowing that no technological advancement is a match for an all-powerful God.
