What if the greatest danger of artificial intelligence isn’t what it can do—but what it can replace?
In this episode of the Embracing Brokenness Podcast, Steve and Colleen explore a growing concern: AI is no longer just a productivity tool—it’s becoming a relational substitute. From AI companions to emotionally intelligent chatbots, we are entering a moment where technology can mimic what only God was meant to fulfill.
This conversation goes deeper than headlines. It gets to the heart.
- Why AI feels like it “understands” you
- How it subtly meets core human longings
- The danger of synthetic belonging, love, and purpose
- Real stories of how far this has already gone
- Practical red flags to evaluate your own usage
- How to use AI without letting it use you
This isn’t fear-based. It’s a warning—and an invitation.
