Behind the Story

From editor in chief Russell Moore: I realized about 30 seconds into my conversation with Beth Moore that it has been too long since the last time she was on the podcast with me. I did not even consult my notes because, as you will see, we had a lot to talk about.

As always, she was honest and open and wise. And as always with her, I laughed uncontrollably. We talked about everything from how to learn the Bible, to how to pray, to whether journaling is a good practice for everybody, and we even did a time-travel exercise.

I wanted this episode to be like you were listening in on one of our conversations, and that’s exactly what happened.

As developments in artificial intelligence change daily, we’re increasingly asking what makes humanity different from the machines we use.
