Date & Time:
Wednesday, April 15, 2026
12:00–1:00 PM (HST)
Online via Zoom
Speaker:
Jason Thacker
Director of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the SBC
Description:
Jason was our Pastors Forum guest in September 2023, and a lot has changed in this field since then. We’ve asked Jason to speak to us about ethical guardrails and personal policies for responsible use of AI tools in ministry and how to communicate to your congregation what you do—and don’t—use AI for.
Why Pastors Should Attend:
- Think biblically about AI and ministry
- Gain clarity on wise and responsible use
- Engage in thoughtful discussion and Q&A
Format:
20–25 minutes of teaching followed by live Q&A.
