EXCITING NEWS: yesterday, I submitted the manuscript for my first book to Baylor University Press. Tentatively titled “Intellectual Disability and the Christian Life,” this book is an attempt to give language to the ongoing Christian witness of people with intellectual disabilities.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

There are few theologians I respect more than @joncoutts.bsky.social, and he helpfully navigates some very tricky conversations around AI and LLMs from a theological perspective. Take and listen, friends!

“AI is inevitable” is a really weird claim for Christians to be making.

Yeah, he develops that line in his inaugural address to the World Council of Churches, published in God Here and Now. Essentially, he’s taking about the event of the church, taking the church back from the Nazis, prioritizing the work of the Spirit in the body of believers.
