00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:44.480 So, for you guys were in 2026, so four years ago, you guys are in your formative years here in your like early or late teens, and so your brains are like sponges. 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:58.560 And you guys have kind of you're in formative time where you're being fooled by stuff, and so you can look at an image or video better than my generation, better than grandparents, and you can see within seconds, you're like, nah, it's fake. 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:05.279 And someone can show you their phone, and you're not even like really close to it, and you already there's like a twinge inside of you. 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:14.639 And so what happens is your generation is better at spotting AI fakes than most adults, and you're definitely better than your grandparents. 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.199 Okay? 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:21.439 Now, most of you have had these moments where grandma or grandpa, you know, they've got a video, like, have you seen this video? 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:27.120 And they're showing you, they're like, Look, look what this guy did, and you're and you're like, No, grandma, I love you, but that's fake. 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.800 No, no, look, it's a video. 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.080 He's really flying, he's got a helicopter attached to his head. 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:32.720 It's real. 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:33.600 It's a video. 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.840 Look at it, watch the video, it's real. 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.080 And you're trying to beg with grandma or grandpa. 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.440 No, like that is fake. 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:40.399 AI did it. 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:41.279 What's an AI? 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:42.240 What what do you mean? 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:42.639 What do you? 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:46.399 It's a real video, and and this is this is a real thing. 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:56.480 Because in our generation, if you were in a court case or you were had to defend stuff, you needed to get video evidence. 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:04.799 Photo or video evidence was what you were trying to acquire of, say, a crime committed or a happening, and then that could be submitted. 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:16.159 You guys are gonna grow up in a world where photo and video evidence will be so scrutinized that based on opinion, you can say whether it's real or not. 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:34.000 So imagine 30 years from now, you guys maybe are in a situation where you're called for jury duty or you're called to investigate something, maybe that's the you're gonna go into law enforcement, and people are gonna say that they have video evidence, and your automatic reaction is gonna be like, oh no, here we go. 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:46.240 Because now you're gonna have to take it to some analysts and they're gonna have to break it apart to find out, and even if they do say, no, this is really video footage, half of the jury is gonna be like, I still don't believe it. 00:09:46.799 --> 00:10:00.320 Because you guys are gonna be bombarded with so much fake content, and it's gonna get better and better and better, and the AI is getting better at generating

it, where the thing that's gonna matter is real life. 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:17.279 And so, if we talk about the court case situation, someone called to the to the stand who was there in real person, they touched it, they saw, they smelled, you know, they that that real experience is once again, it used to be before the tech. 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:26.240 If we go back a hundred years ago, in a way, you we're we're like going back in time where the real experience is going to be more important than ever. 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:37.200 And you're gonna get to the point where you're gonna go on a trip or something, and and maybe you're gonna have this unique experience, and you're gonna have to like convince your friends that you were really there and the video and photo is real. 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:43.679 You might actually, they might get to the point where they like say, No, you just you just got the robot to design that, you didn't really do that. 00:10:44.720 --> 00:11:00.559 And so, real trips, real experiences, real hobbies, the things that you can touch and see with your own senses are gonna become more important in your time than they have been in a long time. 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:18.639 And and so the only way, you know, we used to have this thing when I was a kid because we didn't have cell phones, we didn't have social media, and if if a friend missed out, he couldn't find where we were, we were, and we had this experience, and and and we had this saying was like, Man, you just had to be there. 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:20.720 It's like tell me about it, or what was it? 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:21.519 You just had to be there. 00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:22.639 Sorry you missed it. 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:27.600 We said we were gonna meet, you know, at the 7-Eleven and you weren't there, so we just left. 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:29.200 And you know, you left without me. 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.159 What was it like? 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:36.799 You guys are going to move into a time where even though you're saturated with content, you had to be there. 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.799 You had to be there in person is gonna become more important than ever before. 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:53.360 AI is gonna be able to write a song in your favorite artist's voice, it can write a poem that sounds exactly like you, it can write an essay on any topic in any style in about 30 seconds. 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.120 So there will be a temptation for you guys to fake everything. 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.240 Everything you do, everything you design. 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:07.679 When you go write a story and you're and you're struggling with an ending, you are gonna be tempted to let AI write the end of your story. 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:15.519 You're gonna be writing a poem or a song, and you're gonna get stumped on the chorus, and you're gonna be tempted to let AI just finish it for you. 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.159 But I'm telling you, 30 years from now,

most people are gonna be doing that. 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.759 But if you choose in this moment, no, I will not be synthetic. 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:32.960 I am gonna write my own stuff, I'm going to design my own stuff, I'm gonna draw my own stuff, I am not gonna let the robot do it for me. 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.720 You will be the anomaly when you when you're my age. 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:44.799 The people who design stuff without AI intervention, that's gonna be like gold, that's gonna be like diamonds. 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:56.879 But you gotta start practicing now because your cognitive ability, the more you let AI work for you, the less that cognitive ability is going is going to help you in the future. 00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:01.840 So you need to ask yourself, what will you show the world when you're my age? 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:10.960 When you get to my age, will you have leaned on AI so much that your brain's just been saturated by it and you don't and you don't even know what's really you anymore? 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:14.799 And will you just be synthetic or will you be authentic? 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.759 That is the biggest question of the day. 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:19.360 So why is this important? 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.600 This is important because of who you are. 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:26.960 You, each one of you were formed, you weren't generated by AI. 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:34.399 And one of the key things that's different about you that the robots will never get is that you have a soul and a spirit. 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:35.840 Okay, look at this verse. 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:37.759 Psalm 139, 13, 14. 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.559 It says, For you formed my inward parts, you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.679 I praise you, for I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.879 Wonderful are you are your works, my soul knows it very well. 00:13:51.279 --> 00:14:03.039 They will get to a point in technology where probably at least, for sure, by the time you guys are 80, but probably more like by the time you're 40, robotics will catch up to the AI. 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.279 The robotics will never be able to generate a soul. 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.360 It'll never have a soul, it'll never be a spiritual being. 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.720 That is something that human beings alone have because of how we were coded by God. 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:20.320 So I want to talk to you about something called the Human Genome Project. 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:27.679 So this was fully mapped out, about you know, uh about three billion pieces of code to every human being. 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.440 Go back to Sex Ed 101. 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.360 Look at all you, a bunch of you just were like, wait, what? 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:32.000 Okay. 00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:45.759 Um, so uh we won't get into a lot of the details, but when when you moved from being a uh

a sperm and an egg and a little dance happened and you became your yourself as a little cell, there you are, you're very cute. 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.639 Already in that moment, the three billion codecs of you, of who you are, were already in that cell. 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:59.039 Your hair color, your eye color, your skin tone, how tall you're gonna be, even some of the things internally. 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:05.039 Some of you are really good at working with your hands and you're and and you can see something and put it together easy. 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.679 Uh others of you are able to picture things in your mind without even touching them. 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:16.960 Uh others of you are able to write amazing things, stories, poetry, songs, and and it just kind of flows out of you. 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.679 And yet others, it it takes a long time. 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.000 All of that is part of your DNA code. 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:32.240 And no matter how good the tech gets, maybe even, let's just say in a hundred years they get to the point where they're able to code out DNA and they can clone a human. 00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.679 Let's just go there. 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:39.360 They're nowhere near it, but even let's say they could, it would just be a repeated process. 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:46.480 Only God can do it in such a way where every single single cell is different. 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.080 Everyone's individual. 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.960 These are the types of scientific facts that that keep atheists up at night. 00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:55.279 Because it's it's impossible. 00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:08.639 It is impossible for some computer in the sky to be codecing three or three billion of these tiny DNA strands into a single cell, and that you form this totally independent person. 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.039 And no one's like you in the entire world. 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.240 No one looks like you, acts exactly like you, you're completely different. 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:21.600 And that every single time, every single time a sperm and an egg meet and the cell comes, it's another new, brand new being. 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:26.799 And in that being, part of that DNA code is a soul. 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.480 You were created with a soul. 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.159 And here's why that's the most unique and most important thing. 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:38.480 And if the robots get to the point where they start being jealous, they'll be jealous of your soul. 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:44.480 And they might be able to change out some parts and get an upgrade and maybe plug themselves into a wall to recharge. 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.000 That's all they're gonna get. 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:58.159 The only reason you get more than that is because your designer, your creator, created you with a soul, and your soul doesn't need the mind and body fully to exist. 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:00.879 Your

mind, body, and soul. 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:09.920 And as good as the tech gets, it might, it's mind and it might be body, a synthetic version, but it'll never, you can never synthesize a soul. 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:11.680 And so that is so important. 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.759 So in a world where everything is generated, you are formed as an individual. 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.079 So now I want to talk about the real you. 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:23.920 I want you to pull out uh that notebook, that fusion notebook, or if you have a journal with you and a pen or a pencil. 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.039 I don't know if we have any more. 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:26.880 There's a few kicking around here somewhere. 00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:29.119 Pass them around, maybe sit beside someone who has it. 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.839 And I want you to answer this question, these two questions. 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:36.400 What's one thing about you that can't be faked or generated? 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:38.799 Answer that question, write it down. 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:42.000 And then what has God created or designed just for you? 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.160 Now let's talk about counterfeit connections. 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:56.400 Believe it or not, this is kind of a creepy part of the show, but your generation is being tempted to have relationships with AI, both uh romantic, companionship, and spiritual. 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:03.279 One in three teens right now have used an AI companion for social interaction or emotional support. 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:09.359 So AI companionship has become the number one use of generative AI for many users. 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:19.599 The reality is that AI, right now, there's companies making AI programs and apps that can be your friend, be your therapist, or be your boyfriend or your girlfriend. 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:24.960 And what we're finding in colleges and universities, massive problems in colleges and universities. 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:31.839 And if you and you guys gotta pay attention because you guys are gonna be moving in uh into this stage next, it's going in general. 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:39.680 There's exceptions to the rule, but we have problems, uh very differing problems with the majority of women and the more majority of men in college and universities. 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:41.440 Uh, to talk about the ladies first. 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:46.240 So, uh, like she was saying, is there's apps that you know wants to be your AI boyfriend. 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:58.000 Now, here's the problem with your AI boyfriend is he says the right thing, affirming, romantic, all the sweet nothings, 100% of the time, all the time. 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.000 And that feels really great. 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.559 In fact, your AI boyfriend is, you know, other than he's not human, he's perfect. 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:06.880 But here's the bad news, ladies. 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:08.640 Real guys aren't like that. 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:14.960 I am going on 25 years of marriage, and first oh, thank you. 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:20.960 And yet, and yet, and and yet, you know, been together with my wife for like 27. 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:25.119 For some reason, I still can't say the right thing 100% of the time. 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:30.880 An AI husband, right out of the gate, does better than me in everything he says. 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:43.359 And so here's the problem on our college and university campuses right now with these gals, one and three, that are getting these AI boyfriends, is they're getting used to a robotic man that always affirms, always says the right thing all the time. 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:55.039 And now you're forming an addiction to that, and you can't interact with real, real guys that sometimes say the wrong things and get nervous and get awkward, and that's actually real life. 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.680 And if you talk to your parents, your grandparents, that's something that's existed throughout time. 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:07.599 Is that the dating process and and that whole thing, it's supposed to be awkward, it's weird, it's hard, it's nerve-wracking, it's supposed to be. 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:09.119 And you grow through it. 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:16.720 Now, on the guy side, it's a it's an even more dangerous process right now because the pornography industry has integrated AI into it. 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:36.480 So for guys on college and university campuses that are that have come in addicted to pornography, and now AI is a component of it, they are not only getting an a disgustingly inaccurate view of what women are, uh, the AI is acting in such a way that's that's forming terrible patterns inside of them. 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:49.119 So now en masse, you have women with online with uh AI boyfriends that always say the right thing and uh according to what they want, and you have AI girlfriends with the guys that do anything they want. 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:55.200 And you can imagine we're set over the next decade to have massive relational breakdown. 00:20:55.359 --> 00:21:10.240 And you guys are gonna be going into college campuses and university campuses where this foundation is already being laid, and you're gonna go in the dorm rooms, your parents are gonna be there, your youth pastors are not gonna be there, your youth leaders are not gonna be there to be like warning you saying, watch out, and there's gonna be temptation, and it's gonna be normal. 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:15.920 What do you do if you're the only friend that doesn't have an online boyfriend or girlfriend or an AI boyfriend or girlfriend? 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:16.880 What will you do? 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:25.440 See, the decisions you make now are going to set the trajectory for your life, and it is extremely dangerous. 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:43.680 And I would suggest to you when you get to the point where you're ready

to date a guy or date a gal and then move to kind of get engaged and get married, if it feels awkward, if it feels nerve-wracking, if it's embarrassing, if if you're full of anxiety, praise God. 00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:45.519 That's what it's supposed to be like. 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.359 It's like that for everyone. 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:49.359 That's how real relationships start. 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:51.039 Awkward and embarrassing. 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:54.000 But you grow through it and you get better for it. 00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:59.839 The AI will never give you the awkward or embarrassing, it'll always give you whatever you want, whenever you want, however you want it. 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.039 And that's not real life. 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:05.599 But now, here's where it gets worse is we actually have artificial spirituality. 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:13.920 So 48% of practicing Christians, these are Christians that go to church every week, they'd say they'd trust an AI with their spiritual growth. 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:20.400 For Gen Z, 39% of Gen Z say AI spiritual advice is just as trustworthy as their pastors. 00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:30.079 See, because it's difficult, it's difficult to ask a question to your youth pastor or your youth leader, or it's difficult to talk to a parent. 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.880 Again, that awkwardness, the embarrassment. 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.359 It's way easier to talk to the AI. 00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:39.039 And what happens is you're getting fake content. 00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:48.000 And maybe it'll answer your question, but there's nuances of how spirituality works and how it lives out in real life that the AI can't do. 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:51.839 It can't feel things, smell, teach, taste, sight. 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:53.119 It can't do any of that. 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:57.200 It's simply robotic cerebral energy that it's trying to give to you. 00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:58.319 It won't be enough. 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:03.359 And so no matter how good AI gets, it will never equate to a divine connection with God. 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:10.559 Because here's the thing: God, right, the same God that knit all that wiring, that DNA code, he's like a good father. 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.799 And a good dad sometimes says no. 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:15.200 A good dad sometimes gives you boundaries. 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.440 A good dad sometimes doesn't give you an answer right away and makes you wait. 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.240 Sometimes a good dad wants you to figure it out on your own. 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.000 That's how God is. 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.759 And so you might pray, you go down on your knees, God, I really need an answer. 00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.799 And God stays silent on purpose. 00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:35.200 Because he loves you and he knows he wants you to wrestle with it. 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.640 He wants you to wait. 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:45.119 Maybe he does want to give you the answer, but he's like, oh, I'm looking down the timeline and I see what the AI can't see, and I need you to walk through this, and then the answer will come. 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:53.359 But if you immediately, if you pray and it's like, oh, God didn't give me the answer, I'm gonna go ask ChatGPT and I'm gonna do what Chat says, you missed it. 00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:55.519 Chat doesn't love you like a good father. 00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:57.839 Claude doesn't love you like a good father. 00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:02.240 He's just gonna give you whatever you want, however you want, and you're gonna turn into a spoiled brat. 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:07.200 Mentally, you'll turn into a spoiled brat that gets what they want, when they want, how they want it, whenever they want it. 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.519 But that's not how spirituality works. 00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:11.519 God wants you to wrestle with it. 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:20.480 He wants you to work with it because in the long term, when you become an adult, when you are in your 40s, you're gonna be a better version that you would have been. 00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:23.519 And if we keep going in this way, you're gonna be the minority. 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:28.160 And there will be people, when you're in your 40s, and they'll be asking, Lou, how do you wrestle through this? 00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:29.440 How do you get through this? 00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:36.319 Well, I went to this conference called Fusion, and this guy said I shouldn't fully depend on the AI, so I stopped doing it. 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.519 And here I am. 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.559 And they're gonna say, Man, I wish I had done that when I was a teenager. 00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:43.599 I wish I hadn't become addicted to AI when I was a teenager. 00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:44.960 I would have been so much different. 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.079 See, it's not a matter of not using AI. 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:49.920 That's gonna be a part of your life. 00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:54.319 But every time you use it, make a decision, say, is this taking a part of me? 00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:56.480 Is it is it gonna take something from me? 00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:07.599 Because according to Paul's letter to Ephesians, we are his workmanship, God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:15.599 So AI can give you a list of good deeds, good things to do, but you were created to do something special in this world. 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:27.119 Maybe some of you in your teenage years are going to achieve that, but most of you it'll be in your adult years that there's something that God created in advance, again, when you were first formed, and there's something that you're supposed to do. 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:31.119 There's a reason God put you on this planet in this time. 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:32.880

And you could say, okay, why God? 00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.880 I'm in this hinge moment of like this massive technological revolution. 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:38.079 Why am I here? 00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:39.680 And this is what you need to ask. 00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:41.200 This is what you need to write down next. 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.720 What's one good work God is calling you to do in your life? 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.559 What's the purpose and calling that God has prepared just for you? 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.400 Now I want to talk about uh what Wes talked about last night. 00:25:52.559 --> 00:26:02.319 He's talking about the power of the Word of God, for the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit. 00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:08.079 There's those words again: soul and spirit, and joints in a marrow and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:10.640 Well, the Bible is the most trustworthy document. 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:17.599 In 1946, in an area in the Middle East called the Caves of Qumran, they found what's called the Dead Sea Scrolls. 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:20.319 And this was an amazing archaeological find. 00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:28.079 Uh one they found all sorts of, like just thousands of pieces of papyri or ancient writings of biblical texts. 00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:33.440 And one of them that they found was the book of Isaiah, a whole, a whole copy of Isaiah. 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:40.640 Now, this copy that they found was 1,000 years older than the one they had previously. 00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:46.720 So they immediately started studying it and researching to find out whether it was different. 00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:55.119 Because the skeptics, some of the atheists at that time, were pushing back and they said, Oh, the one you have now, it's been changed, it's been edited. 00:26:55.279 --> 00:27:02.559 But they found that right around 95% of it was authentic from a thousand years of copying and copying and copying. 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.079 There's and there's no data. 00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:10.079 This is like hand copying, looking at one with another guy looking over his shoulder and making sure that everything's fine. 00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:23.039 And and the other, the 5% were just either slips of the pen or like the writing style, the actual style of the hand, or uh word differences, how we spell words changed from a thousand years. 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:28.319 And so for us, we don't say these and thou's uh like we used to do in in English. 00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:29.680 So these types of things. 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:49.440 Well, in 2021, right, AI is going on the scene, and the skeptics and the atheists they came back and they're like, aha, the robot knows we're finally gonna find out that this Bible is fake, and we're gonna let the robot look at all the texts, and especially this one that we have from the

caves of Quran in Isaiah. 00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:57.599 And of course, uh, you know, the book of Isaiah, both to Jews, Muslims, and Christians, a very important text, and so they're like, okay, let's have at it. 00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:10.319 Well, AI confirmed in 2021 that it is the same, that it is authentic, and the words that were written of Isaiah at that time, thousands of years previously, are the same. 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:11.519 They're legit. 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:21.200 So, what this means, guys, is the answers that are gonna be generated will never stand the test of time compared to the word of God. 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:27.039 Remember that AI can generate a thousand responses and still not know your heart. 00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:29.599 God's word is what's gonna reveal what's real. 00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:35.279 And so you're gonna have to, when you pray, don't just be like, oh, God didn't give me the answer, I'm out. 00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:36.640 Don't do that. 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:38.960 You might have to actually work for it. 00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:43.759 And God has given his word, and it's it's real, it's alive. 00:28:44.480 --> 00:29:09.359 Forty different authors used by the Spirit to write 66 books in one giant book, thousands of years old, that have stood the test of time, that continues to be the bestseller, no matter how much technology goes, continues to be translated in every language possible, continued to be knit into apps, and continues to be one of the greatest sources of wisdom and knowledge that mankind has ever had. 00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:11.200 It's because God generated it. 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:13.440 And so this is your last question for today. 00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:14.640 The real, real. 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:19.279 What's one thing that God has revealed to you this week at Fusion? 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:21.279 What's one thing that he's shown you? 00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:23.039 But here's the catch. 00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:25.359 How will you make that your new reality? 00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:27.039 How are you gonna act on that? 00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:38.559 There's one thing that God told you individually for you that that he's told you about yourself or something you're supposed to do, but how are you gonna use that what he's told you? 00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:42.079 Write down what he's revealed to you, and how are you gonna use it? 00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:53.119 And if you hear nothing else from this entire session, if you only hear one thing, please, please understand this that AI will never generate a soul. 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.799 You might need to repeat that a million times over in your lifetime. 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:06.559 And you're gonna be in boardroom meetings, you're gonna be in team meetings, you're gonna be designing things or working on things in your jobs. 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:09.839 I'm sure AI will be integrated into all your careers. 00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:12.400 By the time you're my age, I'm sure of it. 00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:19.440 You might even have like robotic teammates at the table with you, but just remind them maybe his name's gonna be Jerry. 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.319 Hey, Jerry, remember you don't have a soul, okay? 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:22.960 Right? 00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:27.759 Jerry, remember if I don't plug you in, you're okay? 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.359 Never forget this. 00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:39.680 If I if I meet you decades, decades from now, just say, hey, Pastor Jeremy, AI will never generate a soul and never have a soul. 00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:40.640 Remember that. 00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.839 You're an individual. 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.400 So let me pray for you and then we'll go to questions. 00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:45.039 Let's pray. 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:47.359 Dear Father, I thank you for these students. 00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:53.279 Father, I pray if there's anything beneficial that they needed to hear that uh you would solidify it in their minds. 00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:57.119 If there's anything not of value, then just strike that from the record. 00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:07.519 And uh, Father, uh protect them as they go on in their next stage here in high school, uh, eventually, and then into college, university, or in trades, or or work. 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.720 And as AI is integrated into the workforce and into their lives, may they be careful. 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:23.839 May they use it where it's beneficial, but may they uh may they not be robbed of their individuality, and may they not become synthetic versions of themselves. 00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:27.039 You have created an authenticity in each one of them. 00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:28.160 There's something unique about them. 00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:30.720 May they not lose themselves in this moment. 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:32.880 Protect them, Father, in Jesus' name. 00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:33.599 Amen. 00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:34.880 Okay, questions.
