How To Matter In The Age Of AI​

Stop worrying about being replaced by AI.

The question isn't "What can I do that AI can't?" The question is "What was I created to do?"

God designed you for a specific purpose that no machine can fulfill. But you'll never find it while you're paralyzed by fear or busy comparing yourself to machines.

The Aimless Will Be Devoured​

Here's the brutal truth:

The tools of manipulation are getting smarter. The aimless will become tools in other people's games. Those who don't know their purpose will serve those who do.

In a world of infinite content and endless distractions, divine purpose is your only anchor.

Walk through Manhattan. Watch the lines outside trendy stores. Scroll through social media. What do you see?

Trend-chasing zombies. Comfort-seeking addicts. Approval-hunting slaves. Status-symbol collectors. They're playing other people's games. Getting A's on essays they'll never read again. Buying bags they don't need. Living for likes from people they don't know.

This is not life. This is sophisticated death.

Divine Purpose: The Only Real Success Metric​

You know you're tapped into your divine purpose when:

  • You look forward to what each day will bring
  • Your value isn't measured by another human's approval
  • You're shaping where things are going, not chasing where they've been

This is about achieving practical alignment between your divine design and your daily life.

There's a beautiful default divine purpose available to most: raising children who discover their own divine purpose.

For most people, before they have their first child, they are one person. After, completely transformed. Divine purpose changes everything.

Yet society devalues this. Divorce rates soar. Birth rates plummet. We've traded the divine purpose of family for the emptiness of careerism.

Your divine purpose might literally be raising one child who follows their divine purpose.

But whether your calling is parenthood, entrepreneurship, or art, one truth remains: Those panicking about AI have it backwards.

AI is a tool to help you fulfill your divine purpose, not replace it. The biomedical engineer uses AI to design life-saving treatments. The game developer uses AI to craft immersive worlds. The educator uses AI to personalize learning for each child's genius.

Master something real first. Then let AI amplify your mastery. But if you stand for nothing, AI will help you fall for everything. While others chase every new AI tool, you'll have direction. While they ask "What can this do?" you'll ask "How does this serve my purpose?"

How to Find Your Divine Purpose​

Stop asking what's trending. Start asking what's eternal.

Pray - actually listen for answers. Act - take an educated guess and move. Adjust when you're wrong, because you will be. Master something real, go deep. And always remember: your purpose involves serving others, not just yourself.

You won't find it in a weekend workshop. You'll find it in years of faithful seeking.

Every day you delay is a day you're someone else's tool. Every day you chase trends is a day you miss your calling. Every day you seek approval is a day you deny your divine design.

The age of AI will devour the purposeless and elevate the purposeful. Which will you be?

Your divine purpose is waiting. It might be building the next great company. It might be raising the next great human. It might be creating the next great work of art. But it's definitely not standing in line for the next trendy thing.

How do you matter in the age of AI? By doing what only you were created to do. By serving a purpose no algorithm can compute. By building relationships no chatbot can replicate.

You matter because God designed you to matter.
