Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Summer Health: Capture Your Mind and the Rest Will Follow - Pastor Chad Stuart - June 24, 2023 25:58

hace 2 years25:58

25:58

Our minds are our greatest tool, yet they can be our greatest weakness if untrained and undisciplined. Are your thoughts “obedient to Christ,” as the Apostle Paul inquires in 2 Corinthians, chapter 10? Do you take time to “renew your mind” daily, as he suggests in Romans 12? This week, Pastor Chad returns to the pulpit for the first in a three-part series titled “Summer Health.” Listen in as Pastor Chad shares, “Capture Your Mind, and the Rest Will Follow.”…

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, we're inclined to focus on being thankful. And while it's great to be thankful this season, we should be thankful year-round. Is that even possible? How can we position ourselves for being thankful no matter the season we're in? Listen in as Pastor Crystal E. Ward shares a message titled, "In Everything, Give Thanks."…

Battling our Demons - Pr. Matthew Piersanti - November 5, 2022 29:17

hace 2 years29:17

29:17

It's Halloween week. It's likely that you've noticed an increase in images of ghouls and ghosts, even from cute little neighbor children who knock on our doors asking for candy dressed in Halloween attire. These things can make spiritual warfare seem playfully imaginary. However, as Christians, the Bible tells us that spiritual warfare is very real. Listen in as Pastor Matthew shares a message titled “Battling Our Demons.”…

Words Matter: A Spirit-filled Witness - Pr. Crystal E. Ward - November 29, 2022 31:14

As followers of Jesus, we are called to be a witness and make disciples. Join us for the final sermon in our series titled “Words Matter,” as Pastor Crystal E. Ward shares why the power of our witness is not based on the eloquence of our speech or our theological prowess but solely on the power of the Spirit.…

Words Matter: The Words that Matter Most - Pr. Chad Stuart - October 22, 2022 43:54

hace 2 years43:54

God speaks to us through many avenues, including nature, prayer, relationships, experiences (both good and bad), dreams, and convictions. However, of all the ways God speaks to us, it is the pages of Holy Scripture that provide a revelation of Jesus. This week, Pastor Chad shares the third message in his "Words Matter" series, titled "The Words that Matter Most."…

Words Matter: Speak on These Things - Pr. Chad Stuart - October 15, 2022 32:21

Each of us is just a breath away from our words being life-building (from God) or life-destroying (from Satan). So what determines which words come out of our mouths (Proverbs 18:21)? Listen as Pastor Chad Stuart shares the second message in the Words Matter series titled "Speak on These Things."

Words Matter: Write in the Sand, Don't Drag Through the Mud - Pr. Chad Stuart - Oct. 8, 2022 26:30

hace 2 years26:30

26:30

The words we choose (along with where and when we use them) frame our understanding of the Gospel. Jesus never left sin unaddressed but always spoke to the person with love and compassion. As we begin a new four-part sermon series titled "Words Matter," we'll start by looking at the example set by Jesus in the New Testament book of John, chapter 8. We invite you to join us as Pastor Chad Stuart delivers the first message in this series, "Write in the Sand, Don't Drag Through the Mud."…

The B.I.B.L.E "Yes That's the Book for Me!" Part Two - Pr. Chad Stuart - Sept. 24, 2022 29:19

hace 2 years29:19

29:19

This week, we'll ponder how individuals like Steve Jobs, who dropped out of college, and Henry Ford, who possessed only a few years of education, achieved much more than the educated elite of their day? Is knowledge really power? Or is knowledge simply power that is acted upon? We invite you to join us in worship as we explore how the Bible clearly answers these questions (along with so many more). In this two-part sermon series, Pastor Chad Stuart encourages us to push against cultural trends by going back to the Bible, which is most definitely the book for us.…

The B.I.B.L.E "Yes, That's the Book for Me!" Part One - Pr. Chad Stuart - Sept. 17, 2022 37:09

hace 2 years37:09

37:09

The Bible is the most owned, yet least read, book in history. According to the American Bible Society, the average home in the United States has 4.4 Bibles, yet only 19% of Americans engage in scripture reading outside of the church setting. If this is the reality of our lives, can we sing with honesty, “The B.I.B.L.E.—Yes, that's the book for me?” In this two-part sermon series, Pastor Chad Stuart encourages us to push against cultural trends by going back to the Bible, which is most definitely the book for us.…

If I Were Jesus - Pastor Matthew Piersanti - September 10, 2022 33:35

hace 2 years33:35

Jesus utilized the most unlikely strategy to establish his kingdom on earth. Instead of recruiting society's most powerful or privileged as the leaders of his Church, Jesus called average men to serve as equals within what was essentially a small group.

Only Two Options - Pastor Chad Stuart - September 3, 2022 27:21

hace 2 years27:21

27:21

As we read through scripture, we're faced with the reality that we only have two options as humans—to let Jesus gather us into His arms, or to resist His gathering and be destroyed for eternity (as a result of our own choice). While that may seem harsh, consider God's heart, his pure motives of love, and know that He will literally do (and has done) everything He can to gather us to an eternity with Him.…

"Search Me, God" with Pastor Chad Stuart - August 27, 2022 30:39

hace 2 years30:39

30:39

What you see is not always what you get, right? Most of us know this. However, humanity is great at self-deception. Even what we see of ourselves is not always who we are. However, there is One who sees us and knows us intimately. What would happen if we invited God to search us? Will He be scared away by what He sees? No! But submitting ourselves to be searched may help to grow us more than anything else.…

Disoriented Doctrine - Pr. Chad Stuart - August 20, 2022 35:08

Last week, we looked at a story from Matthew 23, and gave examples of how a disoriented view of the gospel has a significant impact on how we witness. This week, we'll examine how a disoriented view of the gospel can impact the truths (doctrines) we do (and sometimes don't) live by.
