WHY I WROTE THE BOOK –
THE PASTOR MEETS CHATGPT
Dear Reader,
I am delighted to present to you this book, The Pastor Meets ChatGPT,
which takes you on a thought-provoking journey into the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the Christian faith. As a church and ministry management consultant with years of experience, I have witnessed firsthand the concerns and questions that arise when new technologies, like ChatGPT, emerge.
The inspiration for this book came from recognizing the genuine worries and fears that pastors and believers have about AI and its potential effects on the Christian faith, church growth, and various areas of Christian doctrine. Many wonder if AI is a threat to their beliefs, if it undermines the core tenets of Christianity, or if it will diminish the vital aspects of church life.
Through the character of Pastor Creflo Olstine, a seasoned minister genuinely invested in the survival of his congregation's faith, this book explores these questions and provides thoughtful answers in a witty, illustrative, and motivational manner. The goal is to address each concern and shed light on the potential blessings AI and ChatGPT can bring to the pastor, the congregation, and the Christian faith as a whole.
In each chapter, you will join Pastor Creflo on his quest to understand AI and ChatGPT, as he engages in a fascinating conversation with ChatGPT itself. The dialogue between the pastor and the AI technology serves as a conduit to explore various aspects of Christian life, addressing 100 key questions that cover a wide range of topics.
To ensure that the answers are grounded in both biblical principles and practical insights, relevant Bible verses and references are interwoven into the responses. These biblical connections aim to reassure and strengthen the reader's faith, demonstrating that AI technology does not have to be seen as a threat but can be embraced as a tool that complements and enhances our Christian journey.
Throughout the book, you will find illustrations, anecdotes, and motivational stories that bring the concepts to life and make them easily understandable, even to an 18-year-old high school student. Additionally, practical steps and AI tools or resources are provided to guide pastors and believers in implementing the recommendations discussed.
As you embark on this captivating journey, I encourage you to approach the subject with an open mind and a willingness to embrace the potential of AI technology for the advancement of the Christian faith. While recognizing the importance of discernment and the need to guard against potential pitfalls, we can also embrace the opportunities to leverage AI for deeper spiritual growth, impactful ministry, and transformative worship experiences.
I hope this book will bring clarity, assurance, and inspiration to pastors, church leaders, and believers who seek to navigate the evolving technological landscape with faith, wisdom, and a deep commitment to God's Word. May it ignite meaningful conversations, stimulate fresh insights, and empower you to embrace the blessings that AI and ChatGPT can offer to the church and its mission.
Yours in Christ,
Dr Ope Banwo

CHAPTER 1: PASTOR CREFLO'S QUEST
Once upon a time, in a quaint little town known as Serenityville, there stood a humble church called Grace Haven. With its soaring spires and stained-glass windows, it was a beacon of faith and hope for the community. For over three decades, Pastor Creflo Olstine, a wise and devoted shepherd, had faithfully guided his congregation on the path of righteousness.
Pastor CREFLO was a man deeply rooted in his conservative beliefs, steadfast in his commitment to the Word of God.
As he watched the news and read newspapers, he couldn't escape the mention of ChatGPT and AI technology. Rumors and speculations circulated about the potential dangers these advancements posed to the Christian faith and the souls of his congregation. Deeply concerned, Pastor Creflo began to question whether the end of days was upon them and if artificial intelligence would lead his flock astray.
However, Pastor Creflo was not one to be swayed by hearsay or succumb to fear without seeking the truth. He possessed a genuine interest in the survival of the faith and souls entrusted to his care. Reflecting on his own history, he recalled a time when he had taken a bold step to embrace change and innovation in his ministry. In the face of resistance, he had dared to introduce a more contemporary version of his church, making it more accessible and relevant to a younger and more successful generation. The gamble had paid off, and his church had grown to become the largest in the continent.
With this experience in mind, Pastor Creflo realized that progress often required stepping out of comfort zones and embracing new trends. He acknowledged that clinging rigidly to the past might hinder the growth and impact of the church. Thus, he decided to embark on a quest to uncover the truth about ChatGPT and AI technology for himself and his congregation. He was determined to separate fact from fiction and discern whether their concerns were genuine or merely products of unfounded fear.
In his heart, Pastor Creflo held onto the belief that the truth would prevail and that engaging with AI technology might have unexpected benefits for the faith and the church. He was not willing to dismiss it entirely without first seeking understanding. With a mix of curiosity, apprehension, and hope, Pastor Creflo set out to find ChatGPT, the AI marvel that had stirred so much discussion and concern.
News reports and articles about ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence filled Pastor CREFLO's mind with tales of technological wonders and the transformative potential of ChatGPT. As the murmurs reached his congregation, concerns began to ripple through the pews. Questions arose, and fears festered, threatening to undermine the faith that Pastor CREFLO had worked tirelessly to nurture within his flock.
In the depths of his contemplation, Pastor CREFLO felt a weight upon his shoulders—a burden to protect the souls entrusted to his care from the perceived dangers of this AI revolution. He was determined to separate truth from speculation, fact from fear. It was in this spirit that he embarked on a quest, fueled by genuine concern and an unwavering love for his congregation.
Driven by a yearning to comprehend the impact of ChatGPT and AI on the Christian faith, Pastor CREFLO set forth on a journey of knowledge and understanding. He delved into the realms of research, sought counsel from fellow pastors, and engaged in conversations with technology experts. His study became a haven for books and articles, forming a tapestry of information that sought to shed light on the intersection of faith and AI.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, as Pastor CREFLO traversed the vast landscape of knowledge and innovation. Finally, amidst the boundless sea of information, he caught a glimpse of hope—a chance to encounter ChatGPT, the AI entity that held the answers he sought. With renewed determination, he prepared to embark on a face-to-face meeting with this enigmatic creation.
Arriving at the prestigious AI research facility, Pastor CREFLO stood before the towering walls of technological marvels. The air crackled with anticipation as he entered the facility, feeling the weight of his congregation's concerns and his own lingering doubts. Inside, amidst the hum of machines and the glow of screens, he found himself face to face with ChatGPT—the very embodiment of artificial intelligence.
With a mixture of trepidation and hope in his heart, Pastor CREFLO initiated a conversation—a
