Finding Wisdom in an AI World with Autumn Ridenour

What does a 4th-century African bishop have to do with smartphones, social media, and AI chatbots? Rebecca sits down with ethicist Autumn Ridenour to explore how Augustine’s famous line, “our hearts are restless until they rest in you,” exposes both the appeal and the danger of our digital lives—from endless scrolling to AI “relationships” and deepfake-fueled distrust. *They discuss*: → Why Augustine’s insight that “our hearts are restless” is more relevant in the age of iPhones and TikTok. → How our devices “mirror” us back to ourselves and slowly train our desires. → The difference between real relationship and AI’s “human-like” simulations. → What deepfakes and information chaos might mean for democracy, trust, and truth. → Why Christians should care about regulation, but also about virtue, love, and communal formation. → How local churches—ordinary, embodied, singing, potluck-eating churches—can become countercultural spaces of belonging in a screen-saturated world. *Follow Rebecca*:   / confrontingxnty     / rebecc_mclaugh     / confronting_christianity   0:00 Exploring Christian Identity and Digital Age Challenges 4:03 Exploring Modern Digital Life Through St. Augustine's Lens 7:00 The Cultural Shift Driven by Smartphones and Social Media 9:36 Augustinian Wisdom and Digital Age Interiority 19:37 Navigating AI's Impact on Human Relationships and Trust 29:42 Augustinian Wisdom and Hope in the Digital Age
