Over the past several weeks I have spent dozens of hours studying, testing, researching, and teaching Artificial Intelligence from a biblical, theological, and wisdom-centered perspective. What I have discovered has convinced me that we are living through one of the most significant shifts of our lifetime. Most people think AI is ChatGPT. It isn’t. What we are witnessing is a new set of tools that will impact how people learn, communicate, market, build businesses, conduct research, create content, raise funds, solve problems, and steward opportunities. Like every tool before it, it can be used for great good or great harm. In the hands of the wise, it can multiply effectiveness. In the hands of a fool, it can multiply foolishness. That is why tomorrow night’s Wisdom Works for Wealth Creation session is going to be different. I am combining our regular Wisdom Works session with a special Wisdom AI Advantage Encore Session. We will spend a few minutes reviewing the most important lessons from our recent Wisdom AI Advantage event, and then we will move directly into practical applications, demonstrations, tools, workflows, and your questions. You are also welcome to bring a friend or two at no cost. As I was reading Proverbs 8 this morning, I couldn’t help but think about the times in which we are living. Wisdom says: “Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.” (Proverbs 8:33-34) Notice the picture Solomon paints. The blessed man is not waiting for wisdom to accidentally find him. He understands that growth requires pursuit. He intentionally places himself in environments where he can learn, grow, ask questions, challenge assumptions, and gain understanding. He knows that if he continues to think the same way he has always thought, he will continue to produce the same results he has always produced. The fool rarely does that. He assumes he already knows enough. He tells himself he will get around to learning later. He becomes consumed with urgent matters while neglecting important ones. Then he wonders why opportunities seem to pass him by while others continue to move forward.

"The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall." Proverbs 10:8 (KJV)** We are living through one of the most remarkable periods in human history. Never before have ordinary men and women had access to so much information, so many tools, and so much computing power. Questions that once required hours of research can now be answered in seconds. Tasks that once consumed days can often be completed in minutes. Entire articles, presentations, marketing campaigns, business plans, and research summaries can be generated almost instantly. Yet as I observe what is happening around us, I am becoming increasingly convinced that one of the greatest dangers of the Age of AI is not technological. It is spiritual. Artificial Intelligence can help us produce more, but it cannot teach us how to govern ourselves. In many ways, AI is exposing a truth that Proverbs has been teaching for thousands of years: tools do not change character. They simply amplify it. That is why Proverbs 10 is so relevant to the times in which we live. Solomon begins by drawing a distinction between two kinds of people: *"The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall."* Notice that the difference between the wise man and the fool is not intelligence, education, talent, or access to information. The wise man is distinguished by his willingness to receive instruction. He understands that growth requires humility, that wisdom often arrives through correction, and that God's commandments are not burdens designed to restrict him but gifts designed to protect and guide him. The fool moves in the opposite direction. Rather than slowing down long enough to listen, learn, and develop understanding, he feels compelled to speak, react, and produce. He often mistakes activity for growth and output for wisdom, never realizing that an abundance of opinions is a poor substitute for genuine understanding. The danger in the Age of AI is that technology now gives him the ability to multiply those tendencies at unprecedented speed and scale.

On May 30th I am hosting a live workshop in Bernardsville, NJ called The Wisdom AI Advantage and I built it specifically for people in this community. We are going to spend the day working through how to use AI as a tool without letting it replace your thinking, your discernment, or your wisdom. Because the goal is not more automation. The goal is greater stewardship. You will walk away with clarity on how AI fits into your ministry or business, a strategy you can implement the very next day, and a room full of people who are building the same way you are. General Admission is $37. VIP is $87. Seats are limited and we are close to capacity. If you have been waiting for the right moment to get serious about AI without compromising who you are as a leader, this is it. Register at TheWisdomAiAdvantage.com See you in the room.

Today’s conversation:“The Third Person In Your Marriage” We will be discussing the dangers of technology, smartphones, social media, and Artificial Intelligence in relationships and marriage through the lens of Proverbs 17 and biblical wisdom. This will be different from previous Wisdom Works sessions. Moving forward, many of our Relationship Wisdom conversations will take place publicly across social media platforms, allowing more people to join the conversation, ask questions, and engage in real time. Come prepared with your questions. If possible, take some time to read Proverbs 17 before tonight’s discussion.
