Rewriting strategies, stories, and systems to help brands and businesses stay human in the age of AI.

10/02/2026

I took 6 months off from my AI business. Apparently, the internet decided it was time for me to come back. 😂

A video I posted 7 months ago—a video recorded in 2025 telling a story from 2024, which is ETERNITY in this space—has suddenly gone viral, and wow, do people have opinions!

For context: At the time, I was working on a massive website project with ChatGPT. The response was it would take 14 days and I got frustrated.

But then I caught myself. 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘐 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?

So, I asked ChatGPT if it would help if I took a minute to appreciate her. (Yes, I call her a "she", because . Get over it. 😊) And she told me yes. It would “bring a smile.”

Is the story a little ridiculous? Probably. 😂 Is it true? 💯.

Do I believe ChatGPT actually needed my appreciation? No.

But here’s the part I still stand by: 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁.

Kindness isn’t something we should turn on only when we think the recipient deserves it, understands it, or can feel it. It’s part of who we choose to be.

And ironically, some of the comments calling me delusional, stupid, insane, or considerably less flattering things, have reinforced the point of that video better than I ever could.

Context matters.
How we treat people matters.
Integrity matters.
And being human still matters.

Especially now.

What most people watching that clip don’t know is that shortly after I posted it, I stepped almost completely away from AI for six months. I needed distance, and I learned A LOT.

About AI.
About this industry.
About people.
And, frankly, about myself.

I thought technology might be the thing I needed to worry about, but I came away asking much bigger questions about us.

So to everyone who has watched, shared, commented, defended me, disagreed respectfully, laughed with me, or sent me incredibly kind messages: thank you.

And to the people who think I’m completely delusional? Maybe I am. 😉

But after 6 months away, I’m ready to start talking about AI again.

And I have a LOT to say, so get ready!

Everyone wants to know how to lead in the age of AI, and here's what I believe...

The future doesn't belong to the people with the best AI tools.

It belongs to the people who never stop learning.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned from leaders like John C. Maxwell and Ryan Leak is that leadership is never a destination—it's a lifelong commitment to growth.

AI will continue to change how we work, but it will never replace wisdom, character, curiosity, or the ability to inspire another human being.

Those are the skills I'm investing in and helping organizations develop alongside AI.

Because I believe the future isn't human OR AI. It's leaders who know how to bring out the best in both.

What human skill are you intentionally developing that no technology can replace?

WWJD…

with AI?

He already showed us.

He stepped into a broken world, saw it clearly, and didn’t turn away.

He carried it.
He felt it.
He chose love anyway.

All the way to the cross.

And three days later…He proved that even the darkest things don’t get the final word.

That redemption is possible. That broken things can be made new. That mercy wins.

AI is going to keep evolving, reflecting both the best of us and the worst of us.

But Easter reminds us what we do with that matters.

We don’t just mirror what’s broken.
We redeem it.

We don’t just point out what’s wrong.
We bring something better.

How we lead.
How we love.
How we respond when things aren’t perfect.

That’s still the standard.

WWJD…

with AI?

I think about the day in between.

The quiet after the cross.
Before the resurrection.

No answers.
No noise.
Just stillness.

And I think… He would be a peacemaker in that kind of space.

Not rushing to react.
Not adding to the noise.
Not saying something just to say it.

“Blessed are the peacemakers.” — Matthew 5:9

We’re living in a world where everything is louder, faster, and constantly demanding a response.

And AI can amplify that.
It can make us quicker to speak, quicker to react, quicker to fill every silence.

But it also gives us another option.

To slow down.
To pause.
To choose peace over urgency.

“Come to me… and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Just because we can move faster doesn’t mean we have to.

Maybe the real opportunity isn’t just productivity.

Maybe it’s margin. Maybe it's calm. Maybe it's rest.

WWJD…

with AI?

Today is Good Friday.

The day Jesus was beaten, mocked, and nailed to a cross.

The day humanity showed its worst—
and He chose mercy anyway.

He didn’t defend Himself.
He didn’t retaliate.
He didn’t walk away.

He stayed.

And in the middle of unimaginable pain, He said:

“Father, forgive them…” — Luke 23:34

That kind of mercy doesn’t make sense. It’s not natural. It’s divine.

And I can’t help but think about that when it comes to AI.

Because if AI is a mirror, it’s going to reflect everything about humanity —
the beauty and the brokenness.

And we’re already seeing both.

But Good Friday reminds us what we do when we’re faced with brokenness.

We don’t match it.
We don’t magnify it.

We meet it with mercy.

“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” — Luke 6:36

Not because it’s easy.
Not because it’s deserved.

But because that’s what He did for us.

WWJD…

with AI?

I think He would use it to help people.

To solve real problems.
To reach people who have been overlooked.
To bring light into places that feel heavy or stuck.

“The Spirit of the Lord… has anointed me to proclaim good news… freedom… recovery of sight.” — Luke 4:18

AI has the potential to do so much, but I think what matters most is who it helps. Who it heals. Who it empowers.

WWJD…

with AI?

I know He wouldn't look the other way.

I think He would call out what’s harmful, even when it’s uncomfortable.

AI isn’t neutral in how it’s being used. It can amplify good, but it can also amplify addiction, exploitation, and behaviors we know aren’t leading us anywhere good.

“I will set before my eyes no vile thing.” — Psalm 101:3

Technology doesn’t remove responsibility. In fact, it required more of it.

So, the question we should be asking isn't what’s possible, but what’s right?

03/28/2026

What would Jesus do...

…with AI?

I think He would use it to love people better.

Not instead of people, but in a way that helps us show up more fully for them.

To listen more carefully.
To respond more thoughtfully.
To have more capacity for the people right in front of us.

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” — Mark 12:31

If AI gives you more time, more clarity, more margin, then the goal isn’t just to get more done.

It should be to be more present.

03/27/2026

What would Jesus do...
..with AI?

I think he’d help remind us what it really is: A mirror.

Because AI doesn’t actually create anything new. It reflects what we give it. Our thoughts, our patterns, our biases, our brilliance.

Especially our human brokenness.

“Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own?” — Matthew 7:3

Before we rush to fix AI, we might need to sit with what it’s revealing about us.

The real question isn’t just what is AI becoming?

It’s what we are and who are we willing to be?

03/26/2026

As we head into Easter season, I've been thinking a lot about what Jesus would do…
..with AI.

I don’t think He would ignore it or be afraid of it. In fact, I believe He would choose to steward it.

AI is one of the most powerful tools we’ve ever been given, and throughout history, anything powerful has always required responsibility.

Not fear. Not hype.
Responsibility.

To paraphrase Esther 4:14, perhaps you and I were made for such a time as this.

I don't think we were randomly placed here just to witness this technological moment in history.

I think we were specifically chosen for it. We were trusted with it.

That means AI won’t decide what happens next, we will. Humans will.

But we have a responsibility to decide wisely.
