The Living Word in a Digital Age: Scripture, AI, and the Next Generation

A Practical Guide for Pastors, Ministers, and Church Communicators

How can pastors preach the unchanging Word of God in a rapidly changing world?
How can churches reach the next generation without losing biblical depth or pastoral authority?

The Living Word in a Digital Age: Scripture, AI, and the Next Generation is a practical and deeply pastoral guide for ministers, preachers, and church leaders seeking to communicate the Gospel with clarity, imagination, and confidence in today’s digital culture.

In an age shaped by screens, algorithms, and accelerating language, many pastors feel torn between the weight of tradition and the pressure to stay relevant. This book shows a better way. Rather than competing with technology, it teaches pastors how to use AI as a safe, ethical, and biblically grounded tool that supports—never replaces—their calling to preach, teach, and shepherd.

Drawing from Scripture, narrative imagination, and historic Christian wisdom, this book helps you:

• Prepare sermons with renewed creativity and depth
• Engage youth and young adults without mimicking or targeting them
• Use biblical stories as the safe mirror for human tension and spiritual growth
• Explore the TRUE pattern (Tension, Relevant Story, Universal Truth, Emotional Evocation)
• Plan an entire preaching year around the rhythms of Advent, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time
• Use AI responsibly in study, devotional writing, and sermon design
• Maintain pastoral authority, authenticity, and theological clarity

You’ll discover practical prompts, examples, and a full TOOLKIT designed to help pastors integrate AI into their ministry while staying anchored in Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Whether you are a seasoned preacher or a new ministry leader, The Living Word in a Digital Age will help you speak the Gospel with confidence, engage the next generation with wisdom, and harness the creative possibilities of AI—without losing the reverence, depth, and heart of Christian ministry.

If you are a pastor, minister, preacher, youth leader, or church communicator—this book is for you.

It will equip you to preach, teach, and lead with greater impact, using Scripture and AI together to engage the next generation with biblical depth and pastoral authority.
