Artificial Intelligence Made Me Do IT

Hey Rebranded friends, it's your podcast hosts Tim and Ben! We just recorded a super fun episode all about our recent trip to the UMAC conference. UMAC stands for United Methodist Association of Communicators - it's basically a big party where church media nerds like us get together to geek out. And let me tell ya, after being stuck on Zoom for the past few years, it was awesome to reunite with our fellow comms comrades in the flesh!

At UMAC we heard from some rad speakers, got the inside scoop on General Conference, and talked until we lost our voices. But one of the biggest conversations was around how artificial intelligence and technology are changing the game for ministry. We had a fascinating session with James Lee where he broke down tools like chatGPT that can help you instantly create social media content. Crazy right?!

Of course anytime you bring up AI with church people there's gonna be some differing opinions. And believe me, the discussion got heated! But we think there's a ton of potential here and we're just scratching the surface. In fact, we used some AI to pull clips for our Instagram from this very episode! (Go check them out by the way - @rebrand_pod).

In this ep, we also talk about combating misinformation, dream up ideal rebrand intros, and debate the merits and horrors of shaving my glorious beard. It's a wild ride y'all. So crank up the volume, hit play, and enjoy this faith-meets-future convo. The Spirit is moving in new ways - let's rebrand how we reach people for the kingdom!
