Summary
Christians in Germany are using ChatGPT to create liturgies and even preach sermons. Is the rise of AI different from previous technologies, and how should the church respond? Meanwhile, the South Baptists voted overwhelmingly to prohibit women from being pastors and banned any churches that disagree. How did an issue that even John Piper argued was not essential in 1991 become grounds for excommunication in 2023? Then, a new documentary by author and pastor, Rasool Berry, introduces the history and meaning of Juneteenth. While some MAGA conservatives are condemning the holiday as "woke," Berry says it actually has deep connections to Christian theology and the church. Plus, Christian is searching for a castle in Belgium.

| 0:50.0 | Welcome to The Holy Post. Christians in Germany are using chat GPT to create |
| 0:55.1 | liturgies and even preach sermons. Is the rise of AI different from previous technologies |
| 1:01.1 | and how should the church respond? And while the Germans are allowing robots to preach, |
| 1:06.0 | the Southern Baptists are voting to make sure women can't. And they're even kicking churches out |
| 1:11.2 | of their denomination that disagree. How did this issue that was once seen as non-essential |
| 1:16.2 | become grounds for excommunication? Then a new documentary by author and pastor Rasul Berry |
| 1:22.6 | introduces the history and meaning of June 15th. While some mega conservatives are condemning |
| 1:28.2 | the holiday as woke, Berry says it actually has deep connections to the Christian church and |
| 1:33.6 | theology. All of that plus Christian is searching for castles in Belgium. A few announcements before |
| 1:40.4 | we jump into the show. First off, a technical glitch. Christian Taylor was recording all the way |
| 1:45.4 | from Belgium and her transatlantic connection wasn't always great. There were times where her |
| 1:50.0 | audio dropped out or she couldn't hear us. So if you're wondering why Christian didn't jump into |
| 1:54.4 | some of the conversations, that's why. So we apologize for that hiccup. But then secondly, |
