When you consider artificial intelligence, you may think about self-driving cars, voice automated responses from your smart speaker, Facebook bots sending you ads based upon your search queries, or virtual reality experiences provided by an Oculus VR headset. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Jason Thacker, a scholar in philosophy, ethics, and public theology, discusses with Dr. Tim Clinton his new book, The Age of AI. Thacker counsels Christians against the extremes of unbridled excitement or fear in this new high-tech frontier. The biblical worldview is clear: as humans, God created us in His own image. Artificial intelligence is simply a tool and will never match the value of a human being.

Some people feel constricted by God’s rules, fearful that they’ll be missing out on living the good life. But in this Part 2 edition, humorist Ken Davis draws from his personal experience as a pilot in explaining that unless he abides by and respects the rules of aviation, he can’t expect a successful flight. Similarly, a man wedded to his compass truly has the freedom of the sea. And ironically, obeying God’s rule book isn’t constrictive but actually liberating!

When Christian humorist Ken Davis was in high school, it was painfully obvious that he didn’t fit in, especially with the popular kids. By his own description, he had the hand-eye coordination of a carp. But after excelling at public speaking, he learned that he could live with having nothing to prove because his value as a person was forever established on the cross of Jesus Christ. Now he wants you to have the same level of peace.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, author of We Will Not Be Silenced: Responding Courageously to Our Culture’s Assault on Christianity, continues his discussion with Dr. Tim Clinton about how the secular left wants to advance cultural Marxism in America. A key component is the sexualization of children through the public schools and the media. This will lead to more premarital sex, abortions, children born out of wedlock, and ultimately more of our kids becoming susceptible to Marxist principles.

The secular left doesn’t believe that America can be repaired. Instead, they say it must be destroyed and then replaced. But with what? We know that they are sympathetic to a cultural Marxism which would curb free speech, increase government control, destroy the nuclear family, and be hostile toward Christianity. But Dr. Erwin Lutzer, author of We Will Not Be Silenced: Responding Courageously to Our Culture’s Assault on Christianity, urges Christians to advocate for truth with gentleness.

Former NFL player Steve Fitzhugh’s passion is to reach out to and teach kids who are surrounded by a culture of drugs, violence, and futilityand to help them understand that God has an amazing plan for their lives.

Sadly, many churches today fail to address the reality of the afterlife. But we know from Scripture that Heaven and hell are as real as day and night. Anne Graham Lotz, author ofHeaven: My Father's House, shares that for those who have confessed their sin and trusted Christ as their Savior, Heaven is the ultimate promise fulfilled. Just as a mother’s home-cooked meal beckons whenever an adult child returns home, Heaven will likewise be a warm and welcoming, personal destination.

Many people casually believe that marriage should be a 50/50 proposition. But they’re wrong. Because that would be describing a performance-based marriage, where a husband and wife are always keeping score. Bob Lepine, author of Love Like You Mean It, cautions that we simply need to serve each other, instead of asking, Did he or she pull their weight today? Inspired by Jesus Himself, Bob describes how both partners in a Christian marriage should always give 100%.
