Most often when we think of robots we think of sci-fi movies, comic books, or video games.  Something trying to take over the world or something that is larger than life.  However, robots are becoming more common in our times and are a reality.  As Christians, we don't often think of that but what should we think about robots and A.I.?  Is it something we should concern ourselves with and how should we as Christians deal with robots and A.I.?  

Our guest, Joshua Smith, actually has a lot to say on that topic!  

Josh serves as the Senior Pastor of a Southern Baptist Church in Mississippi.

He is a graduate of William Carey University, where he earned a B.A. in Religion. He holds an M.T.S from Gateway Theological Seminary. He is a recent graduate of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned a Ph.D. in Theology. His dissertation focused on a critique of Robotic Futurism and the potential of Dehumanization.

We focus our conversation on why he wrote his dissertation on robotics and why we as Christian should be concerned with the ethics with robots!  I hope you are as challenged as I was to see that all things were made with a purpose and yes that includes robots!
