Chatting, designing, and writing Biblical topics with AI

Study Biblical topics with AI? AI can be a surprising partner in theological study — helping with research, image design, and writing clarity. In this behind-the-scenes post, I share how I use AI to explore Scripture, verify truth, and write with discernment. It’s not a Bible study, but a study about studying — and how faith and technology can meet with integrity.

Human Happiness vs. God’s Joy

We chase happiness, but Jesus offers something deeper: joy rooted in relationship, not circumstance. This opening post in the Beatitudes series begins with a question asked through a dog’s eyes—and leads us into the paradox of blessing, grief, and the joy that transforms our lives from the inside out.

Wait a second. Where did that word Trinity come from? It’s not in the beginning of Revelation. Actually, it’s not in the middle or the end of it either. In fact, the word isn’t in the Bible anywhere. But then, unless you’re reading a Hebrew or Greek translation of what I wrote, none of these words are in the original “Bible”. Not in the original writings of any of the authors of the books we call the Bible.

Revelation: A book of hope through relationship

Revelation is such a dramatic book. An apocalyptic vision. The last days of the earth. But there’s so much to understand before “viewing” that revelation. Today, we have movies.
