From worship music correspondent Kelsey Kramer McGinnis: Journalists can’t verify a miracle. So when musician Forrest Frank cited divine intervention for “complete healing” two weeks after fracturing his back, we can only report on what Frank said and how fans responded. |
|
Even though there is no reason to think Frank is being dishonest (he already had a song on the Billboard Hot 100 before the injury—he didn’t need the publicity), it’s good journalistic practice to use qualifiers like “according to” and “Frank claimed.” Still, it can come across as casting doubt on his account. |

Covering Christian music in general requires me to report on what artists are doing and saying without accepting unverifiable statements as fact. When artists say, “God gave me a song,” or “God told me…,” they may be totally sincere, but I can’t actually corroborate that. It can be hard to quote artists about their process when they claim divine involvement, because I have to add qualifiers, and those qualifiers can seem like skepticism. |
|
There’s a silly old journalism adage: “If your mom says she loves you, check it out,” meaning “Fact-check everything.” For reporters who cover Christian culture, we can’t fact-check the presence of God or divine intervention, but we can share what artists say in their own words. |

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. |
