An Ethical/Theological Examination of Artificial Intelligence feat. Dr. Robert Hunt
Professor at Perkins School of Theology & author of All Brain and No Soul?: Real Humanity in an AI Age

Join us for a thought-provoking evening with Dr. Robert Hunt as we explore the intersection of faith, ethics, and emerging technologies. In a time when Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we live, work, and think, what does it mean to be truly human? How do we as people of faith respond to the promises and perils of AI?

Dr. Hunt brings theological depth and ethical insight to this timely conversation, drawing from his new book All Brain and No Soul? and his extensive work in global theology and interfaith dialogue. Whether you're tech-savvy or tech-wary, this is a conversation for all who want to faithfully navigate the future.

Come ready to think deeply, ask questions, and engage with one of the most pressing topics of our time.

The Natural World (All Creation)
The Economic Community
The Social Community
The Political Community

Each week, we’ll engage with Scripture, reflect on the church’s teachings, and consider how these principles challenge and guide us in living out our faith—in our church, our neighborhood, and the wider world.

Are you ready for a spiritual reset? If you’re feeling a tug toward deeper faith, stronger purpose, and renewed passion in your walk with God, The Wesley Challenge is for you. Over the course of 3 sessions of 7 days, we’ll journey through 21 life-shaping questions that John Wesley originally asked of early Methodists—questions that still speak powerfully to our lives today. Guided by Chris Folmsbee’s book The Wesley Challenge, we’ll explore three key relationships that shape our spiritual lives:
  •  Our relationship with God
​  •  Our relationship with Self
​  •  Our relationship with Others
Participants will grow together in grace, truth, and transformation. Whether you’re new to the faith, a lifelong Methodist, or somewhere in between, this is an opportunity to renew your commitment and discover what it means to follow Jesus with your whole life. The book is recommended but not required. Please register so we can prepare for your presence. Let’s take the challenge and discover the life God is calling us to live.
