Rage Ag[AI]nst the Machine
Artificial intelligence is changing everything…our work, our relationships, our creativity, even how we think. We live in the most connected, most informed, most curated age in human history. Yet we are more anxious, more divided, lonelier, and less sure of who we are than ever. Technology is not inherently evil, but it is also never neutral. It takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate, and use it. Every platform we touch is built by people who are very good at one thing: keeping our attention. They don't just track what we do; they also shape what we want, what we believe, how we feel, and who we compare ourselves to. The more artificial our world becomes, the more intentional we must become about living fully human.
Episode 1 - “Out of Focus”
Do you ever pick up your phone to look up one thing, and the next thing you know, twenty minutes have vanished? That's not a willpower failure. That's the system working exactly as designed. Every platform you touch is built by engineers who specialize in one thing: capturing and holding your attention. Attention is revenue. With every scroll, click, and pause, algorithms are learning what you love, what you fear, and what keeps you engaged. Then they feed it back to you in increasing doses. And this is forming your soul. This message will help you recognize what is shaping your habits, desires, and life, and show you how to refocus on what leads to peace.
Episode 2 - “Not Every Voice Deserves Your Trust”
How do you even know what is true anymore? Between deepfakes, AI-generated content, partisan algorithms, and the sheer volume of conflicting voices, the digital world has become a hall of mirrors. Everything looks real, but reality is hard to locate. This isn't a neutral side effect of technological progress. Platforms are economically incentivized to maximize engagement, and confusion or outrage often accomplish that. Jesus offers a truth that cuts through the noise and sets you free. This week, we explore how to stay grounded in a world built to deceive you.
Episode 3 - “Outrage Isn’t Accidental. It’s Engineered.”
Ever wonder why everything feels more intense, more dramatic, and more divisive than it used to? It’s because that’s the way the digital world is designed. Algorithms amplify whatever keeps us engaged. Unfortunately, outrage is one of the strongest engagement signals. They learn what triggers you, polarize your thinking, and keep feeding you content that escalates emotion. The algorithm wants escalation. Jesus wants transformation.
