Is artificial intelligence something the church should avoid, or is it a tool God can use for the Great Commission?

In this episode of the Missionary Profile Podcast, host Paul Douglas sits down with David Thorne, Manager of AI for Churches at Missional Marketing, to talk honestly and practically about AI in church ministry, missions, and outreach.

David shares his background as a pastor and church planter, and how that journey led him into helping churches use technology ethically and responsibly. Together, they discuss why marketing is not a dirty word in ministry, how the mission field has moved online, and why churches must think seriously about how people find churches today through search engines, social media, and AI platforms like ChatGPT.

This conversation covers:

• Why churches should care about online visibility and digital missions

• How AI is already being used, even when churches don’t realize it

• Practical ways pastors can use AI without compromising doctrine

• How missionaries can use AI for language translation and cultural understanding

• Preparing churches for the future of search, outreach, and communication

• Ethical guardrails for using AI in ministry

Whether you are a pastor, missionary, church leader, or ministry volunteer, this episode will help you think clearly and biblically about how technology can support gospel work without replacing personal ministry.
