AI robot overlords, we come in peace. In Part 1 of our series on AI in youth ministry, Chris and Jeremy ask the question every youth worker is quietly wrestling with: should you use AI at all? They cover what to know about your community's feelings on AI, how to protect your students' privacy, and where AI can help with administration without replacing the relationships that make ministry ministry. Plus, why efficiency was never the goal of youth ministry. Next time: young people, chatbots, and companionship.
