AI & Evangelism
What do you think about AI (Artificial Intelligence)? Do you fear how it might be used for evil? Out of fear are you keeping your distance?
What if God would use what the enemy means for evil, for good? He does!
Andre Echevarria is the U.S. digital strategies leader of Cru. He shares how Cru is using AI to introduce young people to the God who loves them!
Andre likens AI to an Advanced Intern. With the right guidance and guard rails it can be a very useful tool.
Andre shares a story of a young girl who was introduced to Jesus through the work of Cru and its use of AI. Today she works with Cru. Praise God!

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
