In this episode, we discuss how to protect your critical thinking in a world increasingly shaped by AI.
Inspired by a recent article in Nature, this episode examines what it means to stay discerning, intentional, and mentally engaged while leveraging powerful tools. We explore why over-reliance on automation can quietly erode critical thinking — and how to use AI in ways that strengthen, rather than replace, your mind.
AI is a powerful tool. But your brain is greater.

“Being anti-racist is not a progressive movement, it is a kingdom priority”. - Love & the Outcome
On this episode of The Unscripted Blend, Tori sits down with married couple Chris and Jodi, the talented Christian musical duo, of Love & the Outcome, for a candid conversation about the importance of the voice of the church on the issue of racism. While we can all agree, that racism is a problem, sometimes the main Christian voices that you hear on the matter are the voices of Christians of color. In 2020, after continual headlines surrounding the killings of many unarmed Black Americans by law enforcement, we finally witnessed more Christians from diverse backgrounds join the conversation about racism. Some of it was good. Some of it was bad and caused even greater hurt and pain. However, Chris and Jodi did some honest soul-searching, and as a result, they’ve used their platform to be vocal about anti-racism.
Grab a cup of coffee, or whatever you like, and be prepared to listen with an open mind and open heart.
