“In a confusing world of technological change, we need to ground ourselves in the ancient, unchanging truth of our faith. Carey Nieuwhof’s masterful AI and the Future Church shows us how.”

—Arthur C. Brooks, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Meaning of Your Life

“AI is changing our world by the minute and most church leaders I know are asking the same two questions: How do I use this wisely? And how do I prepare my church for what’s coming? My good friend Carey Nieuwhof just wrote a book on exactly this. It’s called AI and the Future Church, and it’s one of the most practical, thoughtful, and helpful things I’ve read on the topic. If you want to learn how to leverage AI to reach more people and help your church navigate what’s coming, grab this book for you and your whole team.”  

—Craig Groeschel, Pastor of Life.Church

“Nobody knows the future but God. The best futurists are actually presentists; they see what’s actually happening with prescient vision. There’s plenty of fearmongering around AI but reading Carey’s book gave me great hope: Our rapidly changing culture may just be the pressure we need to finally make the changes to how we do church that we should have made long ago. ‘Make Sundays non-downloadable’ again.”

—John Mark Comer, Founder of Practicing the Way and New York Times Bestselling Author

“We all know AI is deeply changing our lives, and that it will have a massive impact on the church, but few of us have the capacity or expertise to think through the formative power it will have on us all. That’s why I am so grateful for Carey Nieuwhof and this important book. Carey has taken the time to think through the theological, cultural, and discipleship ramifications of AI and how the church can remain not just faithful but fruitful in light of what’s to come. I believe his wisdom and insights will help many find a way forward.”

—Jon Tyson, Author and Pastor of church.nyc

“A concern I carry for followers of Jesus is that AI has become a new gateway for sin. People are going to AI instead of prayers and instead of turning to the Holy Spirit or Scripture. We need a guide to help us navigate this massive change. Carey Nieuwhof is the most trusted voice I know in this space. I’m so excited for this book!”

—Jonathan “J. P.” Pokluda, Bestselling Author and Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church

“Carey is a thoughtful leader who rides ahead and imagines what the rest of us will need to know. He is humble and somehow strikes the rare balance of being discerning without being cynical. He has hope for us, and he believes in us.”

—Jennie Allen, Founder and Visionary of IF: Gathering and Gather

“Creation is groaning . . . again. It’s as if AI threatens our worth as persons. I’m concerned about our people. Maybe you, too, sense the need for a trusted voice to help the Church navigate the looming uncertainty in economy, education, and relationships that accompanies AI. Carey has risen to the challenge to help this present age . . . again. In these pages he pens pathways forward. Read them and don’t weep.”

—Charlie Dates, Author and Senior Pastor of Progressive Baptist Church and Salem Baptist Church, Chicago

“As we navigate the opportunities and challenges AI brings, Carey Nieuwhof is helping lead the Church forward with practical help and a pastoral heart. I’m grateful for the data-backed and conviction-led insight he’s given to me and the team at Passion as we move ahead to make much of Jesus.”

—Louie Giglio, Pastor of Passion City Church, Founder of Passion Conferences, and Author of Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table

“There have been very few things in the history of the world that will have the effect that AI is going to have on people’s everyday lives. This book has helped me form solutions to many AI problems that don’t even exist yet. If you want to lead people to Jesus through the age of AI, it’s a must-read.” 

—Noah Herrin, Lead Pastor of Way Church

“Carey looked AI in the eye so the rest of us don’t have to go in blind. As a pastor and someone who works in tech, I can tell you that what he found and what he gives us here are not reasons to fear but a road map to lead.”

—Adam Mesa, Lead Pastor of Patria Church
