The Ethics of AI in Ministry and Coaching: How to Stay Human, Stay Surrendered, and Still Use Tech to Reach More People

Let’s be honest for a second  technology is moving faster than most of us can type “ChatGPT,” and everyone from preachers to Pinterest moms is trying to figure out what it means. Meanwhile, I’m over here asking, “Lord, how do I use this thing without losing my soul?”


Because let’s face it AI can write your sermon notes, design your Instagram posts, and answer your emails faster than your morning coffee brews. It’s tempting to think, “If it can do it all, maybe I can finally rest!”


But here’s the truth: rest doesn’t come from outsourcing your humanity  it comes from surrendering your hustle.


💡 The Ministry of Machines vs. the Ministry of the Heart


AI can do a lot of good. It can help you:


* Reach more people online.

* Automate your admin tasks.

* Write those long captions when your brain feels like oatmeal.

* Even outline your next sermon or course idea.


But AI can’t do this:

It can’t feel the Holy Spirit nudge you mid-sentence.

It can’t see the tears in someone’s eyes when they realize God’s been chasing them down.

It can’t discern when to pause and pray instead of post.


That’s your ministry. That’s your human.


And if we’re not careful, we’ll start letting convenience take the place of conviction. The enemy would love nothing more than to have a generation of Spirit-led women who are so efficient that they stop listening.


🤖 When AI Becomes Your “Assistant,” Not Your “Anointing”


Think of AI like your tech intern.

It shows up eager, fast, and a little clueless but it still needs your leadership.


You can let AI handle the busywork draft the email, organize your ideas, create your graphics but the message, the heart, and the Spirit? That still has to flow through you.


Because if we start letting machines do our ministering, we’ll end up sounding like every other automated voice out there: smooth, consistent, and… lifeless.


So instead of replacing your voice, use AI to amplify  it. Let it give you back time to pray, to rest, to write that devotional you keep putting off because you’re buried in Canva.


🙏 Staying Surrendered in a Digital Age


Here’s what I’ve learned (and I’m preaching to myself here):

You can use all the tools, but if you forget to listen to the One who gave you the message, it’s just noise.


Before you hit “Generate,” hit “Pray.”

Before you schedule your content, schedule your quiet time.

Before you teach others to surrender, make sure you’re not still white-knuckling control behind a glowing screen.


Because technology is supposed to serve your calling not steer it.

And there’s nothing more powerful than a Spirit-filled woman who knows how to use a tool without becoming one.



✨ Stay Human. Stay Holy. Stay Heard.


So yes, use AI. Automate your workflows. Schedule your posts. Build your email empire.

But do it with a surrendered heart.


Laugh at the glitches. Delete the weird auto-generated titles that sound like a robot at Bible camp. And keep remembering that you are the secret sauce  the messy, holy, hilarious human behind the brand.


Because people don’t come to your ministry for perfection.

They come because they see you human, healing, and still showing up with grace and Wi-Fi.


💬 Your Turn:


What’s one way you’ve used technology that actually brought you closer to God or gave you more space for ministry? Drop it in the comments below and let’s learn how to stay human together.

3 Passive Income Ideas for ADHD Brains

Why Securing Passive Income is Essential for People with ADHD If you have ADHD, you already know the world isn’t built for brains like ours. Between juggling new ideas, hyperfocus sprints, and then hitting that wall where your interest fizzles out entirely, keeping a traditional full-time job feels like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. For me, it was a constant cycle of starting a new job, being all-in, loving the rush of something new, and then… "bam", the honeymoon phase would end. I’d find myself mentally checked out, and then it’s like pulling teeth to stay engaged. Eventually, I’d leave and the cycle would repeat. This made it nearly impossible for me to stay in one place, let alone thrive in the structure of a 40-hour workweek. I was burning out fast because self-care, like getting enough sleep or taking mental health days, just didn’t fit in with that lifestyle. And when I tried starting my own business, I was met with another beast: consistency. Being the...

The Power of Forgiveness in Relationships: How Letting Go Can Take Your Love to the Next Level

The Power of Forgiveness in Relationships: How Letting Go Can Take Your Love to the Next Level Okay, real talk: relationships are hard. I’m not just talking about the big, dramatic fights, either. It’s the small things—like your partner forgetting to grab your favorite snack (again) or leaving the toilet seat up after you’ve asked a thousand times. These little annoyances can stack up faster than the laundry you both avoid folding. But here’s the secret sauce that keeps everything from falling apart:  forgiveness . Yup, I said it. The F-word. Not the one you scream into a pillow when you’re mad, but the one that actually makes your relationship stronger, more connected, and—dare I say—happier. Forgiveness isn’t about being a doormat, either. It’s about creating space for both of you to be human (which, spoiler alert, includes messing up sometimes). So, let’s break down three types of forgiveness that can transform your relationship from “meh” to magical. 1.  Everyday Forgivene...
