The Real Issue Isn’t AI. It’s Our Fear of New Instruments.
Rethinking anointing, creativity, and worship in a changing world.
There’s a Clip of Forrest Frank warning Christians about worshipping with AI, especially now that AI tracks have climbed to #1 on the Christian music charts! He’s an anointed and sincere musician, and is clearly trying to protect something sacred. But his critique rests on a misunderstanding that keeps surfacing in every generation whenever a new “instrument” appears.
He claims AI can’t have the Holy Spirit.
He’s right.
But the problem is: neither can anything else.
Tools don’t carry the Spirit. People do. A guitar doesn’t have the Holy Spirit. A microphone doesn’t. The pages of your Bible don’t. A melody doesn’t. What makes worship holy has never been the tool. It has always been the presence of the Lord—who dwells in the heart of a worshiper. Instruments only become conduits because someone surrendered is touching them.
