Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the competitive landscape, making information, expertise, and routine services easier and cheaper to replicate. So what will make your business difficult to replace? In this thought-provoking session, Christian business leaders will explore how to embrace AI while intentionally building a distinctly human—and biblical—competitive advantage. Discover why relationships, trust, wisdom, empathy, presence, community, and purpose may become your strongest business “moats” in an increasingly artificial world.

Key Issues We’ll Explore

- What AI could potentially replace in your business—and what it cannot.

- The Seven Human Moats: relationship, trust, empathy, wisdom, presence, community, and purpose.

- How to use AI without allowing your business to become less human—automating the transactional so you can invest more deeply in the relational.

- Moving from transactional to transformational value so customers have compelling reasons to continue choosing you.

- A biblical framework for AI that emphasizes stewardship, wisdom, human dignity, service, and the unique value of people created in the image of God.

Why Christian Business Leaders Should Attend

AI may be able to imitate what you do—but it cannot become who God has called you and your organization to be.

The question is no longer simply, “Will AI affect my business?” The better question is: “What are we intentionally building that AI cannot?”

This session will challenge you to think beyond merely adopting the latest technology. You’ll consider how to leverage AI for greater efficiency while doubling down on the qualities that make a Kingdom business distinctly human: integrity, wisdom, compassion, trust, relationships, courage, faith, service, and love.

Don’t just prepare your business to survive the AI revolution. Build a business that becomes more valuable because of it.
