Here's my challenge for like thinking about how much you pay for this. Look at how much you pay in your worship and arts ministry. Look at how much you're paying in your kids ministry. Take one of those. One your kids should outweigh the worship and arts. I'm just going to tell you that right now because your money tells you what you value. No offense any singers. Worship and Arts is 15 to 20 minutes on Sunday. Your kids are being discipled for one to two hours every week. Are you spending more to 15 to 20 minutes or to two hours where you value? Take the price of one of your musicians and allocate that to artificial intelligence next year? I would challenge you doing your budget. Take the price of one of your musicians allocate. Because let me tell you this, you're either going to invest it now or be forced to invest hundreds of thousands in a couple of years.
