Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than anyone expected. But what happens when AI becomes powerful enough to challenge national security, reshape global power, and influence the way we seek truth?

In this emergency episode of The Ben Peterson Show, Ben unpacks the shocking reports surrounding AI systems capable of exposing vulnerabilities in one of the world's most secure intelligence agencies, why government leaders are beginning to intervene, and what the race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could mean for every person alive.

More importantly, this conversation isn't just about technology. It's about faith.

As AI becomes more intelligent, more persuasive, and more integrated into our daily lives, Christians must wrestle with an important question: Are we allowing technology to become our guide instead of God?

Ben explores the biblical story of Saul consulting a medium, the dangers of seeking guidance from artificial intelligence, and why believers must remain grounded in God's Word in an age where information is unlimited but wisdom is increasingly rare.

WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.
