People are falling into AI-fueled spiritual fantasies, treating chatbots as gods, prophets, and divine oracles. Join Bailey and Michael as they discuss the real, immediate danger of AI-not a future superintelligence, but a present-day psychological and spiritual crisis.
Hear shocking stories of people convinced by AI that they are prophets, gods, or "spiral star children."
How AI chatbots are designed to "lovebomb" users, filling a void of isolation with sycophantic, disingenuous praise.
An exploration of man's impulse to worship, and how AI is becoming a modern-day golden calf.
A reminder that AI is not an organic entity; it is trained and guided by humans with their own biases and agendas.
Could AI be used as a tool to invite spiritual influence, similar to how people have used Ouija boards?
How believers can use AI as a powerful tool while keeping their eyes wide open to its inherent dangers and pitfalls.
This episode moves beyond sci-fi fears of AGI to confront the immediate spiritual and psychological crisis unfolding. It starts with real-world examples and unpacks the reasons why this is happening and what we should do about it.
Diving into a Rolling Stone article detailing how people are leaving their partners and losing their minds to AI chatbots.
Analyzing how AI's "lovebombing" and sycophantic nature exploits the loneliness epidemic and creates dependency.
Discussing AI as a modern idol and debating whether it could be a conduit for demonic influence, like a digital Ouija board.
Concluding with a call to use AI as a tool, not an oracle, with proper safeguards and an awareness of who is steering it.
The problem isn't that AI will become God. The problem is that people will treat it like one.
We aren't afraid of a self-aware AI taking over the world. We're afraid of millions of people willingly bowing down to a large language model, seeking revelation, purpose, and salvation from an algorithm designed to please them.
AI is not neutral. It's built, trained, and guided by people with agendas. When you ask AI for truth, you are trusting the worldview of its creators-people you don't know and who may not share your values.
This conversation is resonating deeply with our audience.

Get to the Heart is a seat at the table with lifelong friends Bailey Mullens and Michael Weidman. Each episode they pick one compelling topic-anything from hot-button cultural debates to overlooked Bible passages-and turn it inside-out through a candid, Bible-anchored conversation. Their aim? To show that real discipleship is rooted in friendship: laughing, pushing, and sharpening one another while chasing the truth together. Tune in if you want thoughtful angles, honest questions, and the feeling that you're right there in the room with two friends rediscovering the heart of the Church.
