In our modern world, technology evolves so rapidly that we often don’t even take notice anymore. Technology is so integrated into our daily lives that it’s rare for us to take notice of it and even harder to be knowledgeable and circumspect about all the ways in which our lives are affected by the subtleties of these advancements. As Bible believing Christians, we should be asking the hard questions about how technology is impacting our families, our ministry and our outlook on the world. On today's show, we discuss the implications of artificial intelligence and the development of technology that is so life-like that we begin to believe it's "human." We will ask, is it possible for technology to become sentient? What are the ontological implications of transhumanism? What is the singularity and why should I understand its ambitions? 

For this topic, Brandon Briscoe chats with Brian Bustos on the topic of human consciousness and a biblical worldview. Brian is an instructor in Living Faith Bible Institute and Director of Experience Strategy at one of Fortune’s top 100 innovative companies, where he focuses on emerging technologies. In our episode, he will help us to understand why God's creation is uniquely complex compared to AI and why we can trust that his truths will help us navigate the dystopian realities of our contemporary world.

This week on The Postscript, Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute, Brandon Briscoe, interviews Myles Cheadle who is currently (2024) raising support to go as a missionary-pastor to Nairobi, Kenya. Myles shares his testimony of salvation and how God has prepared him in ministry at Midtown Baptist Temple in Kansas City, MO. We then discuss how he became aware of the mission field in Nairobi and how God opened his heart to going. 

Myles and his family are currently raising support to move to Nairobi, Kenya to shepherd a growing body of faithful believers. Along with his wife, Myles intends to transition to Nairobi full time in January 2025.

In a Christological understanding of this concept, Christ shed his blood and rose from the dead in order to suffer in our stead and relieve us of the consequences of hell (1 Cor. 15:1-4, Ro. 6:23, Ro. 10:9-10, Col. 1:13-14) . In his grace and mercy, he pardoned our sin (Eph. 2:8-9, Ro. 11:6).

Now, in some Christian circles, there are some that hold to the idea that there is a sin that is so terrible that it is deemed unpardonable. They believe that to commit this sin will cause you to lose your salvation or perhaps prohibit you from ever receiving it. The problem is, among those that believe in the unpardonable sin, they can’t all agree on what it is, which makes it even scarier. Its ambiguity makes it feel like you are in a constant state of danger - walking through a minefield at night, hoping you don’t misstep because it might cost your eternity. This is obviously a topic with serious repercussions, so we have to know what the Bible is saying on this subject.

To help us better understand what the Bible says about the unpardonable sin, we have invited Dr. Chris Best, missiology instructor to have a conversation with provost of Living Faith Bible Institute, Brandon Briscoe, on this important topic regarding biblical soteriology.  

There are only a few days left to apply for the LFBI Mark Trotter Memorial Scholarship. Applications are due in a few days by June 30th and can be found here. 

The Mark Trotter Memorial Scholarship is intended to identify young preachers, teachers, and leaders who share Mark’s character, values, and passions and provide them with a biblical education to support their growth. Every year, prior to the fall semester, a recipient will be granted a full scholarship upheld through the completion of the Living Faith Bible Institute degree. Students who believe they are called to the pastorate or the mission field are encouraged to apply. All students who are recommended by their pastors and have a testimony attesting to their spiritual integrity, devotions, and gifting will be considered. Students may apply at any stage of their LFBI education.
