Artificial Relationships

In this powerful exploration of human connection in the age of artificial intelligence, we're invited to examine what makes our relationships truly real and life-giving. Rebecca's ability to refuse Abraham's servant—and her choice to say yes anyway—reveals something essential about love and connection that no algorithm can replicate. In a world where chatbots offer endless empathy and agreement, it's actually the friction in our relationships, the incompatibilities we choose to embrace, that deepen our bonds. God created us not for compatibility, but for devotion: to be vulnerable to rejection, and to find in that risk the cure for our deepest loneliness. This message ultimately points us toward the God who said yes to us in Jesus Christ, the only relationship that can truly satisfy our hunger for unconditional love.
