I’m very excited about this.

New technologies are reshaping our world. Christian leaders are grappling with social media, livestreaming worship, and now, Artificial Intelligence chatbots.

In January 2026, I will be teaching a twelve-week course at Heritage College and Seminary called Technology and the Christian Life.

My goal is for the church to better make disciples in our technological age. We must be neither fearful nor foolish. We must consider the benefits and burdens of technology, the ways it transforms us, and the ways in which we might transform our use of it. We will explore ways to grow in faith, reclaim our humanity, and love our neighbour in a digital age.

The three main focuses of this course are: media ecology (and technology ethics), biblical theology, and pastoral theology (in the areas of anthropology and ecclesiology). To be honest with you, I’ve always most enjoyed interdisciplinary learning like this. It’s why I’ve been enjoying my PhD so much, and why I think this course will act as the culmination of much of my learning.

In addition to lots of Scripture, there will be readings from the following authors:

• Aristotle

• Albert Borgmann

• Michael Burdett

• John Calvin

• Andy Crouch

• John Dyer

• Jacques Ellul

• Noreen Herzfeld

• Samuel L. James

• Melvin Kranzberg

• Marshall McLuhan

• Sean O’Callaghan and Paul A. Hoffman*

• Neil Postman

• Tony Reinke*

• L. M. Sacasas

• Sherry Turkle

* The two textbooks for the course are Reinke’s God, Technology, and the Christian Life and Callaghan and Hoffman’s AI Shepherds and Electric Sheep.

Here’s a brief video explainer:

Heritage offers both in-person and online options. And this class will be available at both the college and seminary levels if you are taking it for credit (Heritage is accredited; transfers are possible).

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.
