What is a Person in the Age of AI
Philosophy – apologetics
The rise of artificial intelligence is a game changer for how we relate to technology. AI raises practical and ethical questions about our future-questions that are currently generating a great deal of anxiety and hope. But AI also raises deeper metaphysical questions about selfhood and humanity. What does it mean to be a person? What gives human life value? Are human beings truly unique? If so, how? Though these questions are increasingly unavoidable, most people are underprepared to answer them.
What is a Person in the age of AI? This is a topic that must be addressed head on. The implications are far-reaching and increasingly relevant. As we consider the reality of personhood, we come face-to-face with the most fundamental questions of life: who we are, and where we find meaning.
Author, apologist, and respected theologian Gavin Ortlund offers a foreword that frames What is a Person in the Age of AI? as a timely and theologically grounded guide to human identity in a technological era.
Internationally known pastor, author, and speaker on identity Sam Allberry provides an afterword that anchors What is a Person in the Age of AI? in Scripture and highlights its cultural and spiritual relevance.

Deconstructing a Disciple’s Doubt
This book is for those who ask the questions: why does existence exist at all? Is there a point and a purpose to the universe being the way it is? What is the true nature of truth? Why is there so much evil? Is there such a thing as evil if there is not purpose? Is there a difference truly between the world’s religions that connects to ultimate reality?
Devotions for Deconstructors, Disciples, and Doubters
“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief… is the most natural and most human and most agonizing prayer in the gospels, and I think it is the foundation prayer of faith.”
~Flannery O’Connor
O’Connor described the famous prayer in this passage as the most human. I think this is in no small part because it wreaks of desperation. We humans are often desperate. Doubt and desperation pair together like wine and cheese (or peanut butter and jelly if you are Baptist). It is what we do with our doubt that matters.
“One Last Thing is a spiritual-infused journey with no confections, the God messaging is finely tuned & on this collection, it’s actually smartly woven. Nothing is bombastic, or too clinically catechism oriented. The messages get through & they get there with enthusiasm & likability.
