Introducing Lifestream’s New AI Trail Guide for Exploring Questions and Resources

The post introduces a new “Trail Guide,” an AI tool added to the author’s websites, Lifestream.org and TheGodJourney.com. The author describes being skeptical at first, but he came to see its value in helping people find resources buried across thousands of pages of books and blogs and hundreds of hours of audio. The guide draws on his books, Lifestream blogs, and more than 1,000 episodes of The God Journey, along with material from My Friend Luis, and it can respond in multiple languages.

The author is candid about its limits. He notes that the tool can state things confidently and still get them wrong; in one test it wrongly placed his friend Luis in Kenya, and he says the team has trained it not to repeat that error. He asks readers to treat it as a guide rather than an authority, and to tell him when an answer does not sound like him or gets facts wrong. The button to open it appears at the bottom right of any page on either site.

To illustrate, the post shares two sample questions. In the first, a reader asks what the author would say about Hebrews 10:25. The guide’s answer, as the post presents it, is that the verse is about staying connected in relationship rather than mandating attendance at meetings, and that real assembling happens when lives are open to one another, in homes, over coffee, or in a pew. In the second, a husband frustrated by his wife’s different level of spiritual passion asks for help. The guide’s answer is that her spiritual journey belongs to her, and that the husband should support her where she is rather than pressure her toward his own level of zeal.
