Summary

Wait a minute — that’s not Todd! Today on Wretched Radio, Fortis Institute Fellow and host of Transformed, Dr. Greg Gifford steps in as guest host to discuss the AI revolution and how it is impacting you. Be sure to check out Dr. Gifford’s new book, “Lies My Therapist Told Me”. Details below!

Segment 1:

• Chatbots now offer therapy, relationship advice, and worldview shaping—are you ready for AI “friends”?

• Most people have only 3 close friends; AI companies say they need 15—and they're offering artificial replacements.

• Hebrews 5:12—Discernment is a skill Christians must actively develop in an AI-saturated world.

Segment 2:

• AI “therapists” provide emotional support, but give subjective, humanistic, and often dangerous advice.

• Real people need wise pastors and Christian friends, not algorithms affirming their every feeling.

• Chatbots reflect the worldview of their programmers—so what belief system is shaping your child?

Segment 3:

• AI chatbots now advise teens on relationships, mental health, even abortion—without parental oversight.

• These algorithms censor biblical views while promoting secular moral narratives.

• Christians must recognize: chatbots aren’t neutral—they’re digital missionaries for a humanistic worldview.

Segment 4:

• AI should never replace church community for relationships, wisdom, or counsel—it’s the wrong tool.

• Use AI like Google: for research, not for life decisions or relationships.

• Be discerning, not fearful: Christ reigns over algorithms, but your mind and your kids' minds need protection.

0:08.5	So I can be a Chinese woman, but I can't be a six-foot-five Chinese woman.
0:13.3	Yes.
0:13.9	Daddy is a her?
0:15.2	Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, but that he can have the right to have babies.
0:20.2	God created male and female
0:22.2	in his own image. He is not a god of confusion. All of what we're seeing in our society today is simply
0:29.4	hatred for God. It's time for Wretched Radio with Tautfriel. Welcome to Rretched Radio. What?

0:42.0	I am one of the Fordus Fellows and also the host of Transform. And you're probably wondering why I'm here and why Todd is not here.
0:49.1	Well, the simple answer is that Todd is a slacker. And I know he doesn't want that to get out, but
0:55.6	that's the real reason. No, in all seriousness, I've been invited to come and guest hosts, which I'm
1:00.8	very appreciative for. Some of you listen to Wretched quite faithfully, but you don't dial in to

1:18.0	transformed and also show you a couple of new things. But if you haven't checked out,
1:22.8	transformed, I'd encourage you to to dial in or dial in to Adam Tyson or integrated with John Crots,
