  1. 0:00The question Can AI replace a pastor? The internet has opinions. “It answers at 2am. My pastor doesn’t.” “Church is awkward tbh.”
  2. 0:07The short answer No. It can’t be your shepherd. It can help you study.
  3. 0:12A shepherd knows your name. A pastor knows you, not a username. “tend God’s flock among you…” 1 Peter 5:2
  4. 0:19Someone has to give an account. A chatbot answers to no one. “…they keep watch over your souls as those who will have to give an account.” Hebrews 13:17
  5. 0:29Church is a people, not a feed. “not neglecting to meet together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another…” Hebrews 10:25
  6. 0:38The takeaway It can’t sit with you. Lumin isn’t your pastor.

The film condenses one guide. Read “Can AI replace a pastor?” in full for the reasoning, the common cases, and a place to ask your own version.
