About

I've been a pastor in the Evangelical Covenant Church for over 19 year, 13 as a solo pastor. The work is mostly what you'd expect: preaching, pastoral care, the slow unglamorous labor of building a congregation.

What shifted a few years ago is that I started taking AI seriously. First it was the potential social and culture impact, then as technology enthusiast, and quickly as a solo pastor looking for ways to multiply capacity without adding hours. The tools worked. But working seriously with them also raised harder questions about human agency, creativity, and what it means for faith communities to engage wisely with technology that is already reshaping the decisions being made around them.

I've spent the last two years at that intersection: building real workflows, facilitating AI literacy for non-technical adults in a rural church context, and thinking through the theological weight of what we're actually dealing with.

 My framing is that this isn't primarily a productivity question- it's a pastoral one.
