It was the early 1900s and the job site was busy with workers. The seasoned carpenter laughed as the young apprentice pulled out the "new" power drill. He said, "That will never replace my tools! I don't trust those new things." The young guy didn't quite understand what the old guy meant by that statement, so he ignored him and got to work. At the end of the day, the boss showed up to inspect the job site. He complimented the young guy on his speed of getting so much done. He decided to put him in charge of some larger jobs and train other workers on how to do the job better. The old guy was furious! He went to the boss to plead his case. He went on and on about how his tools have always done the job and he never needed any of the new stuff. The boss simply replied, "I don't expect anyone to get rid of their old tools, but I do expect you to learn to add new tools. I expect my workers to do whatever they can to get the work done more efficiently."
👀 This reminds me of the parable of the talents in Matthew 25. We are facing a similar issue with AI and church ministry. While I don't believe anybody should get rid of their current tools, I do believe we should not ignore the latest tools. Imagine how many more people you could reach with the Gospel if you utilize the tools available to you!
