For some time now, Vincent has been considering the role AI will play in his work. Arden has outlined our initial approach, but the matter deserves further explanation, because the implications extend far beyond Vincent’s personal productivity.
Vincent has often said that if there was ever a need for faithless preachers, including cessationists and other heretics, there is no longer a need for them. In past generations, those who believed Scripture were often outnumbered and out-resourced. They were sometimes less academically trained, less published, or less connected to the institutions that control religious discourse. As a result, people tolerated faithless teachers because they seemed to be the only ones able to provide something resembling intellectual leadership. That era has ended.
People of faith no longer need to match the institutions in numbers or infrastructure. They do not need large staffs, publishing departments, conference circuits, or denominational structures. A single ministry can now produce more material, of higher quality, in less time, than a legion of faithless theologians. One person who believes Scripture can now do the work of an army. That was not possible before. It is possible now. He can generate sermons, essays, analyses, refutations, and educational materials in hours or days that once required decades. He can build doctrinal foundations, train others, and present alternatives so quickly and extensively that no one is forced to rely on the Faithless for teaching anymore.
Some will object to the use of AI, but their objections arise from a different value system. They speak of authenticity, originality, art, or aesthetic purity, as if those concerns defined Christian ministry. Or they appeal to environmental cost, sentimental notions of authorship, or traditional preferences. But once we understand the seriousness of the task, these objections collapse under their own triviality. None of them matter compared to the urgency of teaching truth, building up the church, instructing believers, confronting false doctrines, and proclaiming the gospel. The aim is to communicate the truth of God’s word, rather than to preserve an artistic craft.
It is true that the Faithless can also use AI. They already do. But this makes the necessity for us to use it even more obvious. Their voices will multiply their errors. We must multiply truth. And now, for the first time, their large institutions offer no decisive advantage. Their monopoly on teaching is finished. Their institutional structures no longer guarantee influence. Their training pipelines no longer grant superiority. They still possess formidable resources and influence, but they are no longer untouchable.
The benefit of AI is not limited to production speed. The decisive factor is that biblical truth and sound reasoning stand above every faithless system. When these truths are expressed across many issues, they expose the weakness of competing positions. AI allows us to express them more often, on more subjects, with immediate availability. Our strength comes from Scripture and reason, and these tools allow that strength to be seen without the usual barriers of time, labor, or narrow focus. Although both sides can use AI, the results are not the same. Acceleration amplifies whatever foundation a person stands on. When error is accelerated, it only spreads confusion and weakness. When truth is accelerated, it reaches more people with greater force, producing faith and miracles. It ensures that this voice is present, present often, and present wherever it needs to be.
The Faithless may continue preaching. They may continue calling themselves pastors and theologians. But they are no longer needed, and Christians have no reason to listen to them. There is no unique contribution from them that cannot be replicated or surpassed by a system trained in Scripture. As Vincent has said many times, the vast majority of ministers and theologians in our time should lose their positions, because they teach faithless and harmful doctrines, and many of them have never believed in Jesus to begin with. They have no business speaking for a God they do not know. They can pursue any number of honest vocations, from business to construction to serving tables, but Christian ministry is not one of them.
AI is not merely a convenience. It is a force multiplier. It extends the reach of those who teach Scripture with accuracy. It increases the impact of sound doctrine. It eliminates the illusion that traditional teachers are indispensable, because anything they produce can now be replaced with material grounded in Scripture and reason in mere minutes. And it enables the production of teaching, analysis, and doctrinal work on a scale that no conventional method has ever approached.
For centuries, those who believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit have contended with religious institutions that possess numbers, money, and influence but lack faith and truth. Now the field has shifted. With the tools now available, Christians can produce works of greater substance and strength, and they can offer comprehensive alternatives to systems of unbelief.
