In this episode of the Digital Ministry Podcast, Nick sits down with Joshua Seale, Executive Director of Missional AI, to talk about the upcoming Missional AI Summit in Silicon Valley and how AI is reshaping Bible translation, evangelism, discipleship, and digital ministry.

Joshua shares the origin story of Missional AI and its early focus on Bible translation and Natural Language Processing (NLP). The two also discuss how AI is accelerating Bible translation timelines and augmenting—rather than replacing—human work.

In this video, our guest presents the highlights of this year's summit, including innovations in AI for mission and ministry, a Kingdom approach to AI, and building with a redemptive lens. He also shares global perspectives from hubs like Nairobi, Bangalore, and Jakarta. Expect honest conversations about risks, ethics, and the Imago Dei, as well as insights into funding AI ventures and helping innovators find the right support.

Joshua also discusses how ministry leaders can prepare to get the most out of Missional AI through connection sessions, peer learning, and practical demos. He gives a glimpse into why three days at Missional AI can compress months of learning and experimentation.

If you're a pastor, innovator, technologist, or ministry leader wondering how to faithfully and wisely use AI in your context, this conversation will help you see both the opportunities and the challenges ahead.
