It’s amazing technology can offer so much, yet it also gives me pause.

Because here’s the thing: the Holy Spirit is supposed to be our guide, our teacher, our comforter. Jesus promised that the Spirit would teach us all things (John 14:26). That means, no matter where we are in life or faith, the Spirit is there to speak to us personally, not just give generic answers, but touch our hearts in a way no AI can.

But how often do we stop and really ask the Holy Spirit to lead us? To open our eyes and soften our hearts? Instead, it’s tempting (I’m guilty too) to grab the easiest, quickest answer — to outsource our spiritual growth to technology. Because it’s convenient. Because it feels like a safe shortcut.

What worries me is when that convenience becomes a replacement. When pastors skip prayer and preparation, relying on AI to draft sermons. When believers stop listening to their own quiet, spiritual nudges and instead search for the “right” explanation from a bot. When we forget that faith isn’t just about knowledge, it’s about relationship.

AI can be a tool. It can help us research, get ideas, and learn facts. It’s not the enemy. But it’s not the Holy Spirit.

No chatbot can pray for you, weep with you, or gently convict your heart in a way that changes you from the inside out.

The Spirit speaks in whispers, in stillness, in moments when we slow down and open ourselves to God’s presence. That’s something no algorithm can replicate.

So maybe this is a little reminder for me and you:

Use technology. Use AI. But don’t let it replace the quiet, sacred space where the Spirit moves.
Don’t ask a bot for the comfort that only God can give.
Don’t lean on quick answers and forget the lifelong journey of seeking His voice.

Because the Holy Spirit isn’t just a source of information. He’s a living, breathing presence — a Teacher, Counselor, and Friend who wants to meet you, uniquely, right where you are.

And that? That’s something truly irreplaceable.

I wanted it. Not just because everyone else seemed to have it, but because I truly wanted that kind of connection with God. But the more I wanted it, the more I felt like something was wrong with me because it wasn’t “happening.”

I started asking questions in my head that I was too scared to ask out loud: Am I doing something wrong? Do I not have the Holy Spirit? Is my Christianity incomplete? Why does this feel like a spiritual popularity contest?

Somewhere along the line, speaking in tongues became a badge. Like proof you’d “arrived” spiritually. And if you didn’t speak in tongues? People wouldn’t say it, but you could feel it — like your faith was less powerful, your relationship with God less deep.

And then there’s the whole teaching people how to do it — “repeat after me,” “don’t think about it.” Honestly? That made it worse. It started to feel like a performance. And I didn’t want to fake an encounter just to belong.

It took me a while to realize this: tongues are not a test of spirituality.
You don’t earn them. You’re not more Christian because you speak in tongues, and you’re not less Christian because you don’t.

The Bible does talk about speaking in tongues as one of the manifestations of the Spirit. It’s not about proving anything. It’s not a badge of honor or a sign that you’ve “arrived.” It’s not a skill you master in Bible boot camp.

Speaking in tongues can be a beautiful part of your walk with God, but it’s not the ultimate mark of closeness with Him. A real relationship with Jesus is.

When it did happen for me, it wasn’t loud. It wasn’t even dramatic. I wasn’t in a revival or surrounded by fire. I was in my room. Quiet. Sincere. It just… happened. Slowly. Naturally. And not because someone pressured me, but because I was open, and God met me there.

So if you’re reading this and feeling like you’re missing something, hear me:
You’re not broken. You’re not behind.
You’re not less of a Christian. You’re not spiritually deaf.
The Holy Spirit isn’t ignoring you, and He absolutely lives in you, whether or not your mouth moves in syllables you don’t understand.

Speaking in tongues is beautiful. But it’s not the point. Jesus is. And a real relationship with Him? That’s already the most powerful thing you can carry.
