A framework for engaging technology with biblical wisdom. We will use AI as…
AI is a powerful tool created by human hands that we can steward for God's glory. It is not a source of ultimate truth, wisdom, or salvation, and we must guard against treating it as an idol that has all the answers.
We will use AI to automate tasks, analyze data, and extend our reach, but never to replace the core, human-to-human connection of discipleship. AI can help us serve people more efficiently, but it can never be the shepherd.
AI can help us draft sermons, write copy, and organize outreach, but Scripture and the Holy Spirit remain our sole authorities. We will use AI for input, but always apply human discernment and biblical filtering for the output.
We will not ignore AI out of fear or condemn it without understanding. Like the printing press or the internet, AI is a new frontier for the Great Commission. We are called to be wise, discerning pioneers, not fearful settlers, redeeming this technology for the Kingdom.

Shaun and his assistant showed up right on schedule and went to work installing our double oven on Christmas Eve. We really appreciated them arranging their schedule to help us out during the holiday season. They knew what was needed to install the ovens and did a wonderful professional job at a reasonable price. They were both a pleasure to deal with and we will probably be using them on some future projects. We also had some large items that needed to be hauled away and they were able to take care of it for us. I can highly recommend them to help with your various home projects.
They are fantastic! Highly recommend! We just moved and the came and took away all the packing boxes and others we had all over the garage. They are very polite, efficient and affordable! 5 stars all round! Would definitely use them again!
The Cross and The Code Movement exists to help Christian radio stations and churches harness technology for the advancement of the Gospel while remaining anchored to the truth of the Cross. It calls the Body of Christ to unite faith and innovation—encouraging broadcasters, pastors, and digital teams to use coding, communication, and media tools as modern pulpits for proclaiming Christ. Just as Christian radio brings hope through sound, The Cross and The Code Movement empowers ministries to extend that reach through digital platforms, streaming, apps, and online engagement. Its heart is to see technology serve the Church—not replace it—helping believers steward the airwaves and algorithms alike to share the timeless message of salvation in a rapidly changing world (Romans 10:17; Matthew 28:19–20).
The Tower and The Cross: Navigating AI’s Rise with Biblical Wisdom by Lorne Ray and Pat Scott boils down to one key conviction: humanity is building towers again—this time with code instead of bricks. Like the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, our generation’s pursuit of artificial intelligence reveals both our creative potential and our spiritual peril. Ray and Scott trace how technology, once a tool of service, is becoming an idol of self-exaltation, and they call believers to anchor innovation under the lordship of Christ. Their book argues that the moral confusion, loss of truth, and growing dependence on machines all stem from a culture that seeks progress apart from God. The Cross and The Code Movement flows directly from this vision—helping the Church, Christian radio, and believers everywhere navigate the digital age with discernment, humility, and hope, using technology not to build our own towers, but to lift high the Cross of Christ.

Christian media today stands at a defining crossroads—empowered by technology yet challenged by the forces that shape it. On one hand, digital platforms, streaming, and AI tools have given the Church unprecedented reach for sharing the Gospel. On the other, recommendation algorithms—designed to amplify engagement, not truth—often favor emotional, polarizing, or entertainment-driven content over biblically grounded messages. As a result, Christian voices can be drowned out or tempted to compromise in order to “stay visible” in a system built for clicks rather than convictions. The Cross and The Code Movement calls for a new kind of discernment in this age: one that recognizes these unseen digital influences, reclaims technology for Kingdom purposes, and reminds broadcasters and believers alike that we are called not to chase algorithms, but to proclaim Christ with clarity, integrity, and faithfulness (2 Timothy 4:2; Romans 12:2).
Yes — AI can be good, but only when it remains a servant of the Gospel, not a substitute for it. Artificial intelligence offers incredible tools for Christian media and churches: it can streamline communication, improve outreach, generate content, and help ministries reach people who might never walk through a church door. However, like every human innovation, AI carries both potential and peril. When used without discernment, it can distort truth, replace human connection, and subtly shift ministry from being Spirit-led to algorithm-driven.
The Bible reminds us that “all things are lawful, but not all things are profitable” (1 Corinthians 10:23). AI is not inherently evil — it reflects the creativity God gave humanity — but it must be governed by biblical wisdom and ethical boundaries. The Cross and The Code Movement teaches that AI should amplify authentic ministry, not artificial engagement. Christian leaders are called to ensure that technology enhances discipleship, deepens truth, and serves the mission of Christ rather than the metrics of digital success.
Used wisely, AI can help proclaim the Gospel farther and faster; used carelessly, it can make the Church sound more efficient but less alive. The difference lies in who’s leading — the algorithm or the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25).
To realign Christian media and the Church with the truth of the Gospel in a digital age, The Cross and The Code Movement recommends the following key changes:
Parents and children need to understand that AI is powerful, persuasive, and never neutral. It can be a helpful tool for learning, creativity, and connection — but it also shapes beliefs, habits, and identity in ways most people never notice. Every app, game, and chatbot is designed to capture attention and influence thinking, often guided by values that don’t reflect God’s truth.
Here’s what families should know and do:
In short, AI can inform — but it must never form.
Parents and children alike must learn to master technology through the lens of faith, keeping Christ at the center of every digital interaction.
Setting healthy boundaries around AI starts with discipleship, not just device management. Parents are called to shepherd their children’s hearts — not merely restrict their habits. AI can be used wisely, but only when families stay alert, intentional, and rooted in biblical truth.
Here are key ways parents can set healthy boundaries:
In summary: AI should serve your family’s spiritual growth, not shape it.
Healthy boundaries are not about fear — they’re about faithfulness. When parents lead with wisdom, prayer, and presence, technology becomes a servant of grace instead of a rival for attention.
If you’re just starting to explore how faith and technology connect, here’s where to begin — step by step, with wisdom and confidence in Christ:
In short: Begin with prayer, truth, and community.
Don’t chase the pace of technology — follow the presence of God. When you start with Christ at the center, every digital tool becomes an opportunity to glorify Him, not replace Him.
If The Tower and The Cross: Navigating AI’s Rise with Biblical Wisdom has stirred your heart, there are powerful ways to live out its message and join the movement:
In essence: Don’t just read the message — live it.
Be a light in the digital world, a voice for truth in media, and a witness to God’s glory in every technological space.
Yes! Lorne Ray and Pat Scott are passionate about helping churches, schools, and communities understand how faith and technology can work together under the lordship of Christ. Through The Cross and The Code Movement, they travel to teach, preach, and equip believers to navigate the rise of AI with biblical wisdom and cultural discernment.
They offer:
If your school, church, or community is interested in hosting Lorne or Pat, you can:
Their heart is simple: to help God’s people think clearly, live faithfully, and shine brightly in a world being reshaped by technology. Because while the world is building towers, the Church must lift high the Cross
The Cross and The Code Movement isn’t just a message — it’s a mission. If you believe in helping the Church and Christian media navigate the digital age with biblical truth, there are several meaningful ways to support:
In short: support the movement with your prayers, presence, and partnership.
Together, we can ensure that the next generation of believers uses technology not to build towers of pride — but to lift high the Cross of Christ (Psalm 115:1).
No — The Cross and The Code Movement is not anti-technology or anti-AI. We are pro-discernment, pro-truth, and pro-Christ.
Technology and AI are not inherently evil — they are tools born from human creativity, and creativity itself is part of being made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26–28). The issue isn’t the technology; it’s the theology behind how we use it. When technology serves God’s purposes, it becomes a powerful instrument for good — spreading the Gospel, connecting believers, and equipping the Church worldwide. But when it replaces dependence on the Holy Spirit, reshapes truth, or exalts human pride, it becomes a digital version of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:4).
In short:
We’re not against AI — we’re for its redemption under the lordship of Christ.
We understand why some people see concern about AI as “moral panic.” But The Cross and The Code Movement isn’t driven by fear — it’s driven by faith and discernment. Our goal isn’t to reject technology; it’s to remind the Church that wisdom must guide innovation. Scripture calls believers to “test everything; hold fast to what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). That’s not panic — that’s prudence.
A “moral panic” reacts emotionally; biblical discernment responds spiritually. What we’re witnessing with AI is not simply another invention — it’s a civilization-shaping shift that touches identity, truth, and morality. AI doesn’t just do things for us; it increasingly thinks for us, influences what we see, and shapes how we understand the world. As followers of Christ, we must ask not only, “Can we?” but “Should we?” and “Who decides?”
The Bible consistently warns against human pride that seeks to rival God — from the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) to the false wisdom of the world (1 Corinthians 3:19). Our response is not fear of progress but faithful stewardship of it. We believe God gives humans creativity and intellect as gifts to serve His purposes — but when those gifts are used apart from His truth, they become idols that promise wisdom yet deliver confusion.
So no, this isn’t a moral panic — it’s a moral awakening.
We’re calling the Church to think deeply, live wisely, and lead courageously in a time when technology is reshaping humanity itself. Our message is not, “Fear AI,” but “Follow Christ — even in the age of AI.”
AI can absolutely be useful for learning and communication — but it must never become a child’s source of truth or identity. Used wisely, it can support education, creativity, and even curiosity. Used carelessly, it can quietly reshape how young people think, feel, and relate to others. The key isn’t rejection — it’s redemption through discernment.
Here’s what kids (and the adults guiding them) should understand:
In short: AI can help your kids learn — but only you can help them live wisely.
It can answer questions, but it can’t shape their souls. That’s the sacred calling of parents, teachers, and the Church.
