ARE YOU A TOOL OF YOUR TOOLS?
AI can give us so many answers. Ideas everywhere. Insights without end. But the real question is—does it stir your heart? Or does it just sit in your notes, stored in files you never open, leading you to search again and again without ever acting?For us, reading books is different. It’s not just about collecting information—it’s about letting it sink in. Each page helps us see what we want to build. Each thought gives us fresh ideas that fit the calling God has placed in our lives.Rod Judkins reminds us that ideas are our only currency. But ideas alone are not enough. They must be lived out, expressed, and aligned with purpose. That’s why I see AI not as our replacement, but as our helper and a partner. It supports us in carrying out the vision, but the fire, the direction, the conviction—those are ours.In the end, it’s not about gathering more answers. It’s about asking the right questions. Questions that ignite the fire inside you. Questions that move you to act.So, ask yourself these questions too:1. Am I the tool of my tools, or do I use them to serve God’s purpose? 2. Does technology control me, or do I control it? 3. Do my ideas stay as notes, or do they become action?Creativity is a gift from God. It’s what sets us apart from machines. And when we use it with wisdom, discipline, and faith, our ideas can truly become currency that blesses others.“Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” — James 1:22
