Short YouTube video (promo-style) by Justin R. Lester arguing that AI and modern technology can and should be used by churches to support discipleship, sermon prep, outreach, and follow-up (examples: automated texts, emails, voicemails, TikTok). The creator promotes a blog about infusing AI into ministry and invites leaders to comment for a link; also promotes his social handle “Tech Pastor.”

The Bible says go and make disciples of all nations, right? So why are we still acting like technology is the enemy which could help us do this more efficiently, faster and better. So think about how you used to do follow ups. You had to sit there, print out the letters, write them down, forget, and just hope people come back to your church next week. How we could do follow ups? Artificial intelligence. Sending a personalized welcome text. Sending automated emails. Following up with automated voicemails and phone calls. See, AI can help you with sermon preparation, outreach and discipleship. Jesus used parables. We can use TikTok. It's the same mission, but new tools. If technology spreads the Gospel, isn't that biblical? So you want to know how AI can help serve the church without replacing the church? I have a new blog I wrote on how AI can actually be infused into your ministry and how you can overcome resistance in the process. So to all of you disruptive innovative leaders, comment blog below and I'll send you a link to my blog in your DMs. And don't forget, follow at the Tech Pastor for more daily tips and tricks how to infuse faith and technology.
