Hailey Gillman, whose TikTok account has 200,000 followers, has long proclaimed to be a Christian. It's been just for the past two years, though, that she's really started to read the Bible.

For the Gen Zers who read the Bible, 59 percent use a Bible app. One-third like to listen to podcasts and almost 25 percent consume Scripture via TikTok. |

"There’s clearly a hunger among Gen Z for truth they can anchor their lives on," Bible App founder and CEO Bobby Guenewald told CT." In a world where AI and digital noise make it increasingly difficult to know what’s real, the Bible stands alone as a source of truth that’s been carefully passed down from generation to generation for centuries. Gen Z is recognizing that. They’re turning to something with substance, something they know they can trust."
Whatever our ages or our past reading habits, may we be refreshed by the reminder that the Word of God is living and active. Its pages are ever waiting for us, rich with wisdom and encouragement. |

As developments in artificial intelligence change daily, we’re increasingly asking what makes humanity different from the machines we use. In this issue, Emily Belz introduces us to tech workers on the frontlines of AI development, Harvest Prude explains how algorithms affect Christian courtship, and Miroslav Volf writes on the transhumanist question. Several writers call our attention to the gifts of being human: Haejin and Makoto Fujimura point us to beauty and justice, Kelly Kapic reminds us God’s highest purpose isn’t efficiency, and Jen Pollock Michel writes on the effects of Alzheimer’s . We bring together futurists, theologians, artists, practitioners, and professors to consider how technology shapes us even as we use it. |
