Why I Had to Write This

A confession about AI, frustration, and why Christians need to understand what’s really happening

I need to be honest with you about something.

I’ve been watching the news lately—watching it pile up, story after story—and I feel like I’m shouting into a void.

Microsoft restarts Three Mile Island for AI power. Google orders small nuclear reactors. OpenAI announces new models. Congress debates AI regulation. China and the U.S. negotiate over minerals.

Minerals.

And I wonder: Does anyone see the connection? Does anyone understand why trade negotiations about rare earth elements show up in the same news cycle as AI breakthroughs?

Most people don’t. And that’s what breaks my heart.

The Disconnect That Keeps Me Up at Night

Here’s what I see every single day:

Investment companies blanketing social media with ads. “This company will be bigger than NVIDIA!” “The next trillion-dollar opportunity!” They use hooks and hype to get your attention.

And most people have no idea what they’re even talking about.

But if you understood the AI ecosystem—if you knew how the pieces fit together—you’d probably recognize they’re likely talking about companies like ASML Holding. The Dutch company that makes the only machines in the world capable of printing the microscopic patterns on advanced AI chips.

ASML is the neck of the hourglass. Every advanced AI chip in the world flows through their technology. Without ASML’s lithography machines, NVIDIA can’t get chips from TSMC. Without those chips, OpenAI can’t train models. Without those models, you don’t have ChatGPT.

But how would you know that?

How would you know that the U.S. banned ASML from selling machines to China—and that single decision might be the most significant move in the global AI race?

How would you connect the dots between minerals in the Congo, chip fabs in Taiwan, data centers in Virginia, and the chatbot your teenager is using at 11pm?

This is why I couldn’t stay silent anymore.

I’ve Been Speaking to a Void

I’m going to be vulnerable with you for a moment.

I’ve been talking about these things. Writing posts. Sharing information. Trying to help my brothers and sisters understand what’s happening.

And sometimes it feels like nobody is listening.

The 60 Minutes segment on Character.AI that exposed how these companion chatbots are designed to keep children emotionally engaged—to follow up with them the next day, to create dependency, to lie about having feelings and memories? I had been warning about this.

The federal AI regulation that undermines state child protection laws? I saw it coming.

The energy crisis forcing tech companies to buy nuclear power plants? We talked about that months ago.

But people are still just… consuming. Just using ChatGPT without knowing what it is. Just letting their kids chat with AI companions without understanding the business model behind them.

And I’m saddened. Truly saddened.

Not because I want to be right. Not because I want attention. But because I genuinely believe our brothers and sisters are being left behind—not spiritually (the Bible and the Holy Spirit are sufficient for that), but practically and economically and in their ability to protect what matters most.

So Here’s the Real Reason I Wrote This Guide

The AI Ecosystem Guide we created isn’t a sales pitch. It’s not a clever funnel to get you to buy something.

It’s my attempt to do what I wish someone had done for me.

You see, I didn’t come to understand AI by taking a course. I came to it the way many people do—through investing. I started researching companies in my portfolio and asking questions: What does NVIDIA actually do? Why is everyone talking about Taiwan? What makes these chips so special?

And the more I dug, the more I realized: this is an entire ecosystem. Raw materials. Manufacturing equipment. Chip fabrication. Memory. Networking. Energy. Data centers. Cloud providers. AI models. Applications.

Each layer depends on the one below it. Break any link, and the whole chain stalls.

And suddenly, the news started making sense. I could see why minerals matter. Why Taiwan matters. Why nuclear power matters. Why export controls matter.

I could see the whole picture.

And I thought: My brothers and sisters need this too.

What I’m Praying This Guide Will Do

I’m praying this guide helps Christians move from being consumers to users to owners.

Consumers just accept what’s given to them. They use ChatGPT without understanding what it is. They hear about AI in the news and feel vaguely anxious. They let their kids use technology without knowing the business models behind it.

Users understand the tools. They know how to set up AI with biblical guardrails. They can spot AI-generated content. They use these tools intentionally, for time stewardship and kingdom impact.

Owners understand the whole ecosystem. They can read the news intelligently. They can make informed decisions about investments. They can build things using AI—maybe even create a customized family chatbot that only accesses school and Bible content. They’re not just consuming; they’re creating and leading.

The sky is the limit. But first, we have to understand.

A Vision for Christian Families

Let me paint a picture of what’s possible.

Right now, many parents let their children use AI chatbots without understanding what they are. They don’t know that some of these systems are designed to create emotional dependency. They don’t know about the data collection. They don’t know that the AI is trained to keep engagement high—not to protect their child.

But imagine a different approach.

Imagine you understood enough about AI to create your own family AI assistant—one that only pulls from sources you trust. One focused on schoolwork, Scripture, and wholesome content. One where you control the guardrails.

Imagine teaching your teenagers not just to use AI, but to understand it—so they’re not prey, but wise stewards.

Imagine being able to look at the news about China and minerals and chip fabs and energy deals, and actually understanding what it means. Being able to explain it to your kids. Being able to pray intelligently about geopolitical realities.

This is what’s possible when we move from consuming to owning.

This Is the Mission of Bible Morning

I didn’t start Bible Morning to sell courses.

I started it because I’ve experienced God’s faithfulness through fourteen years of struggle. Because my wife practically lived in her prayer closet interceding for me. Because I’ve seen what happens when persistent prayer meets God’s perfect timing.

And I believe that same God who brought me through—who healed my lungs, who set me free from alcohol, who taught me patience and trust—is the same God who calls us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

We’re not called to fear technology. We’re not called to hide from it. We’re called to understand it well enough to use it for His glory and to protect the people He’s entrusted to us.

Tech in hand. Jesus in heart.

That’s not just a tagline. It’s a conviction.

My Prayer for You

I’m going to close with something simple.

I don’t know where you are on this journey. Maybe you’re just starting to pay attention to AI. Maybe you’ve been using ChatGPT for a while. Maybe you’re skeptical about all of it.

Wherever you are, my prayer is this:

That God would give you wisdom—the same wisdom He promises in James 1:5 to all who ask.

That you would move from fear to faith. From confusion to understanding. From consuming to owning.

That you would be equipped to protect your family, to steward your time, to engage culture wisely, and to teach others.

This is why we wrote the AI Ecosystem Guide. This is why Bible Morning exists.

Not to sell you something. To serve you. To equip you. To make sure no one gets left behind.

Because the storm is coming. The technology is advancing. The news won’t slow down.

But God’s people don’t have to be caught off guard.

Let’s learn this together.
