In this episode of Abounding Grace Radio, Rev. Chris Gordon is joined by Rev. Dr. Daniel Borvan to explore the pervasive issue of anxiety in our modern age. They discuss how constant access to global news, the isolation of recent lockdowns, and the "gut-brain axis" contribute to a heightened state of fear. Rather than offering mere platitudes, they delve into how historical context—such as the Bubonic Plague—and the heavier hand of God's providence help us understand our current struggles.
In this episode, Rev. Chris Gordon is joined by Rev. Dan Borvan to tackle the sober subject of division within the church. Drawing from the Pastoral Epistles and Romans 16, they discuss how the Apostle Paul called out specific individuals who sowed discord, emphasizing that while the New Testament names names, it does so sparingly and with clear theological purpose. The conversation highlights the danger of "smooth talk and flattery" used by those who serve their own appetites rather than the Lord Christ, often capturing the hearts of the naive.

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.
