Doyt recently sat down for an hour-long conversation on the Love Conquers Fear podcast. Asked why he does what he does, he answered the way he answers most things: not with a tidy testimony, but with a story about driving to baptize a newborn in an incubator, a theory about who actually wrote the Gospel
An Epiphany Pastoral Letter in Response to Pope Leo XIV Encyclical MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS Something happened yesterday that I have been waiting for, in one form or another, for a long time. Pope Leo XIV released his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence – and in doing
The eleventh session of Doyt’s 12-part Bible study on AI and human identity began examining four categories that differentiate humans from AI: morality, relationship, ontological nature, and epistemology. The first category revealed why AI can mimic virtuous behavior but can never practice virtue, because virtue requires will, and AI lacks will. Our Created Vocation: Priesthood
The tenth session of Doyt’s 12-part Bible study on AI and human identity brought together threads from previous weeks to make a definitive claim: wisdom is vocational, not computational. After exploring how the Bible contains both information (genealogies, laws, histories) and wisdom (Psalms, Proverbs, prophets, Jesus’s teachings, Paul’s letters), this session revealed why AI—no matter
The ninth session of Doyt’s 12-part Bible study on AI and human identity tackled a crucial distinction: the difference between information and wisdom.

This challenged comfortable assumptions about divine justice and what it means to live the “cycle” of sin and repentance. Three crucial insights
The seventh session of Doyt’s 12-part Bible study on AI and human identity tackled one of Christianity’s most misunderstood concepts: sin. Rather than viewing sin as primarily shame, judgment, or moral failure, this session revealed sin as an inevitable consequence of love and freedom—and surprisingly, as the foundation of human morality and justice. Three profound
The sixth session of Doyt’s 12-part Bible study on AI and human identity explored one of Christianity’s most profound concepts: the Great Inversion. By examining the resurrection through the lens of what it means to be human, this session revealed how understanding our nature—dust and breath, body and soul—illuminates both eternal life and how we
The fifth session of Doyt’s 12-part Bible study on AI and human identity focused entirely on the theology of the body—what it means to be embodied creatures in a world increasingly populated by disembodied intelligences. “If you remember nothing else,” Doyt emphasized, “humanity is begotten and we are uniquely begotten. We are not built.” This
