Michael Bothwell, one of the show’s new speakers, wrote his paper for Andrew’s technology course on gluttony, and joins the hosts to define it. Calorie trackers, Strava, a smart scale and a keto diet; whether the drive-thru is really the problem; why churches that fast also need to feast; and how two of the hosts changed their minds about Ozempic and GLP-1 drugs.
Andrew and Joel sit down with Scott Hurst, a self-described 'average' Toronto pastor, to hear how the AI conversation actually sounds between pastors. Less 'should AI write your sermon' (nobody is) and more rental agreements, meeting minutes, the capacity for mystery, and the pain points a shepherd should never automate away.
