For pastors, church leaders, and believers who want to see what’s coming — clearly — before it arrives.

The disruption has already begun. The Church’s moment is coming.

A free resource to help the Church see the disruption AI is bringing to work and purpose, understand why history says such moments can open the door to revival, and begin preparing now — to be a refuge and a light.

“Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” — Psalm 85:6

A personal word

Why I’m sounding this alarm

I’m not a prophet or a pastor. I’m someone who looked hard at what’s coming and couldn’t stay quiet.

The jobs are already going — quietly at first, then all at once. AI can now do much of our thinking, and robots are learning to do our work with their hands. I believe this will shake how millions of people find their purpose, their provision, and their peace. I don’t say that to frighten anyone. I say it because I love the Church, and I believe this is one of the great openings of our lifetime — the kind of moment when people turn back to God.

But an opening only becomes a harvest if someone is ready. That’s why I built this: not to predict a date, but to help us see clearly and prepare in calm, before the wave, so the Church can be a refuge and a light when it comes.

“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet… I will hold the watchman accountable.” — Ezekiel 33:6

Consider this my trumpet. Please — take a look, and pass it on.

— Jay Nestle

The big idea

Machines can do our tasks. They cannot love.

We were made to love God and neighbor, and as AI strips away the illusion that our worth is in our output, it exposes the one thing no machine can replace. That is both the crisis and the opening. The work of the church now is to build, in calm, the strengths that a disrupted world will most need.

Provision

Care for the hurting

Mercy, recovery, and support for those losing work, purpose, and hope.

Purpose

Reframe why we exist

Identity and calling found in love of God and neighbor, not in output.

Belonging

Embodied community

The one thing affluence, screens, and AI cannot counterfeit.

Hope

Rooted in Christ

A non-anxious, prayerful people, ready to steward a move of God.

Again and again

God has done this before.

Every awakening was preceded by upheaval and sparked by prayer. Scroll the line and watch the fire spread — then ask what comes next.

  9. Today
    The next chapter?
    Disruption is coming. The question is whether the church will be ready to steward what God sends.
