This week on Pod Have Mercy, Matt is out, so John and Geoff take the mic for a wide-ranging conversation on artificial intelligence, the future of creativity, and whether AI will make life easier or eventually take over everything.

They also dive into a surprising spiritual metaphor: vineyards. From dormancy and pruning to harvest and renewal, the rhythms of the vine become a powerful lens for understanding seasons of faith and growth. Along the way, they discuss wine culture, church history, travel to Italy, and what it means to create meaningful work in a rapidly changing world.

From ChatGPT to Chianti, this one goes everywhere.
