Glad you've found these helpful, Rob! I personally always find it encouraging to see how others have grown in their faith throughout uniquely challenging stages of life.
Thank you so much for this reflection, Aura! The Sound of Music has always been one of my favorite films. I'm definitely going to have to use this exercise to better recognize and appreciate the small things to be thankful for in life.
Thanks for this thorough response! It's interesting to see how you've included AI in your sermon prep, especially how it's served the role of "colleague" in some of your preparation. It makes sense that it isn't perfect, but it seems like many of the suggestions have been helpful. And I suppose AI is in many ways a colleague, since AI is trained on data from our colleagues, both historical and current.
It'll be interested to see how AI can be used to help build other bridges, such as by expediting translation.
We know that the decisions of Synod 2024 may generate a lot of discussion and we would like to remind everyone of our community guidelines. Thank you for your respectful contributions to this important discussion!
A representative from the Korean Ministers Association asked me to comment here that while they are grateful for Bomsu Kim's reflection, his opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of all Korean CRC pastors and leaders.
