ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
What does it look like to build technology that reflects the gospel? In this episode of the Built for This Podcast, LETU President Dr. Steve Mason sits down with James Kelly — founder and CEO of FaithTech, a global movement of Christian technologists now active in 50 cities across 22 countries. James shares how FaithTech began with 35 people in a coffee shop and grew into a worldwide community of builders, developers, and leaders committed to redemptive design. Together, they explore the difference between reckless, responsible, and redemptive technology; why a biblical framework matters more than ever in the age of AI; and how Christians in tech can stop feeling sidelined and start shaping culture for the kingdom. If you work in technology — or are training to — this conversation will challenge and inspire you to build differently.
