## Resource

In this episode, Leah sits down with Kristen Estes — web designer, creative agency owner, product leader, and long-time multi-passionate creative — for a timely and honest conversation about AI, creativity, ethics, and the future of work.

Leah and Kristen also go deeper into the spiritual and philosophical side of technology: how humans have always adapted through major shifts like the printing press, why our identity can’t be rooted in work alone, and how Christians can approach AI without fear while still maintaining discernment, ethics, and clear personal boundaries. They talk openly about deepfakes, regulation, AI-generated music, the “slop” problem in content, originality vs. iteration, and why in a world flooded with synthetic output, real soul, craftsmanship, and human connection may become more valuable than ever. This episode is a must-listen for creativ…
