Ravens & Algorithms book cover by Chris Behnke

You think you're anxious about technology. You're not.

You tell yourself it's about AI. The headlines, the pace, the way everything keeps moving faster than anyone can vote on.

That's not it. Not really.

Underneath the noise sit two much older fears. One of them is running you right now, quietly, and it's deciding how you respond to everything coming next: what you build, what you avoid, what you teach your kids, what you let your church do or refuse to do.

Most people never name it. They just feel the pull and call it wisdom, or call it caution, or call it nothing at all.

Two fears. One of them is yours.

The Freeze

The fear of losing your soul

You guard. You pull back. You keep your distance from anything that feels like it's moving too fast for your discernment to keep up.

It feels responsible. Sometimes it is. But often what you're calling discernment is just avoidance wearing a collar.

The Fling

The fear of being left behind

You grab everything. Every tool, every update, every edge, before someone else gets there first.

It feels like initiative. But grabbing without discerning isn't courage. It's just a faster way to lose your footing.

Some people don't land on either one. They swing between both, and the swinging is what's exhausting them.

The ravens were unclean. The bread wasn't.

In 1 Kings 17, God sends ravens to feed Elijah. Ravens were unclean birds. Scripture is specific about that. God used them anyway, and the bread they carried was never in question.

God has never been bothered by His delivery method. Only we have.

AI is a raven. It's not clean, it's not safe, and it's not going away. None of that changes who sent the bread.

Your job was never to refuse the raven. It's to keep your eyes on the One who sent it.
