NICK RUNYON | OPENING KEYNOTE OF THE IMPACT AI SUMMIT

In the latest episode of the Digital Ministry Podcast, host Nick Runyon shares the opening session from the Impact AI Summit, hosted by Media Impact International (MII) in Cairo, Egypt, this past November.

This sold-out event brought together over 300 leaders, innovators, and practitioners to explore how AI can serve ministry, mission, and social impact. Nick sets the stage for the summit, introducing key themes and explaining why this specific moment in AI development matters so much for the Church and digital ministry.

Watch as Nick Runyon, Chief Marketing Officer of MII, unpacks how Christians can wisely engage with rapidly advancing AI while staying rooted in a firm biblical foundation. He connects early AI morality work at Facebook to today’s tools—like ChatGPT, AI browsers, and Sora—and the unchanging call to make disciples, not just content. Nick also shares how AI can multiply limited ministry resources, why technology must not become an idol, and how spiritual hunger (especially among young men) is rising even on secular platforms.
