## Promise

Help churches **lead through AI disruption** without fear-mongering or naive hype: truth, dignity, discernment, and practical policy.

---

## Placeholder outline

1. What AI is (and isn’t) — plain language.  
2. Theological anchors — image of God, wisdom, stewardship.  
3. Pastoral risk map — deepfakes, addiction loops, spiritual confusion.  
4. Red / yellow / green uses in ministry.  
5. What AI must never replace — shepherding, presence, sacramental life.  
6. Church AI policy kit — privacy, youth, volunteers.  
7. 90-day rollout — staff training, town halls.
