## Resource

What if AI isn’t just advancing… but quietly pulling you toward a point where you have to decide when to walk away? Tony sits down with Vicki Joy Anderson to unpack the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence and the deeply personal reality of finding your “off ramp” before it’s too late. As AI moves from simple tools into AGI and eventually ASI, the conversation explores how technology could shift from convenience into something far more influential, even spiritual in nature. Vicki warns that the real danger isn’t just intelligence, but dependence, where AI begins to shape thoughts, relationships, and even replace prayer, devotion, and human connection. They discuss how each person’s threshold will be different, and why discernment matters more than ever as society speeds forward with no way to stop. From eerie real-world cases to the subtle ways AI is already integrating into daily life, the question becomes unavoidable: will you recognize your exit when you pass it, and will you have the strength to take it? Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
