As technology accelerates—especially in the form of artificial intelligence—it’s tempting to either jump on the bandwagon blindly… or avoid the whole thing out of fear. But neither approach reflects the wisdom or authority we’ve been given as Kingdom leaders.

That’s why I sat down with Sam Schneider, founder of Navispect, to unpack what it means to engage technology without outsourcing your faith, your thinking, or your leadership.

Whether you’re AI-curious or already automating workflows, these three questions will help you lead with clarity and Kingdom confidence.

1. Understand Your Dominion: Don’t Outsource Intimacy or Authority

Before we talk tools, we need to talk trust.

AI is not your pastor, your prophet, or your personal Holy Spirit. It’s a tool. But if we’re not careful, we’ll start treating it as a source of wisdom instead of a servant to wisdom. That’s when we cross the line from using tech… to being used by it.

You’ve been given dominion - stewardship authority - as a child of God and co-laborer with Christ (Genesis 1:28). That doesn’t stop because a machine can summarize reports or write your marketing copy. If anything, it demands more intentionality to preserve your connection with God and discernment as a leader.

Ask yourself:

“Am I using this tool to enhance my creativity and connection—or replace it?”

The moment you go to chatbots before prayer, or treat AI output as more polished than what’s in your spirit, you risk outsourcing the very thing that makes you unique: your spiritual intelligence.

2. Know Where You Are on the Journey

Just like driving a car, there’s a process to growing with tech. You don’t throw a 10-year-old into rush-hour traffic. You start with the basics: fill up the tank, drive around the parking lot, get familiar with the brakes.

The same is true with AI.

If you’ve only ever used ChatGPT to plan a trip or write a few emails, great - that’s your starting point. But if you want to lead your business wisely into the future, you need to grow your understanding and explore practical ways to integrate automation without losing your core values.

Sam and his team at Navispect offer a $129/month coaching program that helps leaders do just that - no hype, no fear, just honest discovery from a faith-based foundation.

Ask yourself:

“What’s my next step in understanding and using these tools responsibly?”

3. Inventory Your Business: Creative vs. Mechanical

Every business is full of tasks. But not all tasks are equal.

Sam introduced a simple but profound framework: break down your business processes into creative (God-given dominion) and mechanical (repetitive toil). Then automate only the mechanical.

Think:

Responding to many of your work emails → Mechanical

Designing a product strategy → Creative

Entering CRM data → Mechanical

Discerning team dynamics → Creative

When you free up your team (and yourself) from mechanical drain, you multiply your time for people, innovation, and impact.

Ask yourself:

“Which parts of my business are mechanical—and how could I automate them to free up more creative capacity?”

Final Thought: Use Tech to Multiply, Not Replace

We’re not heading into a tech apocalypse. We’re heading into an opportunity-rich environment where those who know their God will do great exploits (Daniel 11:32).

AI is just the latest tool in the garden. Use it to reduce toil, increase clarity, and accelerate your God-given assignment - but never hand it the keys to your kingdom.
