Friends, my favorite current TV show, “Mrs. Davis,” features an adventurous nun, a search for the Holy Grail, and an allpowerful algorithm. It also raises many interesting questions about artificial intelligence, God, free will, and our mystical union with Christ.

In today’s “Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss these themes and more.

(NOTE: This episode does NOT contain any major spoilers so it’s safe to listen before watching the series.)

A listener asks, is artificial intelligence a threat or an opportunity for evangelization?
