Wednesday July 15, 2026 3:45pm - 4:30pm CDT
Cooper Creek 3
Artificial intelligence is becoming a common tool for research, writing, and Bible study, but it must be used with care. This session will explore how AI can assist with organization, comparison, research, and lesson preparation, while also addressing inaccurate answers, hidden theological assumptions, overreliance, and doctrinal concerns. The goal is to help ministers, teachers, and church leaders use AI wisely without allowing it to replace careful personal study of Scripture.

How Jesus, Paul, and the Prophets Used Logic—And Why We Should, Too
Thursday July 16, 2026 1:30pm - 2:00pm CDT
Cooper Creek 3
There is a prevalent idea circulating in religious groups that Christianity is not based on reason and logic, but on faith and belief. In reality, biblical faith and belief should never be separated from proper reasoning and logical thinking. Paul stated that he spoke the words of "truth and reason" (Acts 26:25). "Truth" is how things really are. "Reason" is correct thinking about the truth. Christians are called to hold firmly to both.
