Series: What’s Next With AI for Churches?

In this episode, Kenny Jahng, Director of AI NEXT, interviews Natchi Lazarus, an internationally recognized expert in faith-based marketing and AI innovation. Together, they dive into a powerful and often-overlooked opportunity: how church leaders can leverage AI to become true digital disruptors and pioneers in the crowded world of social media and content creation. The conversation revolves around a critical question: How can the church maintain authenticity and lead in a digital age dominated by AI-generated content and attention scarcity? Natchi shares his journey from media and marketing into faith-based work, highlighting how the emergence of AI represents not just a technological shift, but an opportunity for ministries to redefine their presence and influence. He offers specific, actionable insights on how AI can amplify the church’s impact while preserving its mission, and the surprising ways ministries can set a new standard for trust in an era where authenticity is often questioned.
