Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

SHOULD I VOTE? 51:02

17 weeks ago51:02

51:02

When it comes to the issues of government, specifically voting, do Christians and the Church have a voice? And, if so, why do we have a voice in this, and how do we express our voice in a way that is biblically sound and Christ-exalting? I talk about this, and more, on this episode of Crossroads & Culture.…

Is There War Between Christianity and Science? 39:47

1 year ago39:47

39:47

There seems to be a perception, generally speaking, that when it comes to science the tendency of Christians is to ignore and deem science incongruent with Christianity. But is it? Does true science destroy faith, or can it, being rightly understood, strengthen faith? We discuss that today on this episode of Crossroads & Culture.

On this podcast episode my guest, Justin Young, and I discuss the importance of dads and the need for them to be intentional in the lives of their children. In a culture where the definition of what it means to be a man is distorted, God's word is clear on his design and purpose of a man and his role in the life of his family.

The Lost Discipline of Critical Thinking 52:24

52:24

In today's culture, critical thinking has crumbled under the weight of personal feelings where what a person feels has become the litmus test for determining what a person thinks, believes, and decisions that are made. Today on the Rediscovering Church podcast, we are discussing what does it mean, and why is it important, to think critically? And how does the Bible help you think critically?

Can We Really Know the Truth? (A study of 1 John) 36:20

2 years ago36:20

36:20

How do we know Jesus is who He says He is? How do we know what is truth and what is not truth? How do we know true teaching from false teaching? How can we be certain of salvation, or can we? Those are relevant and pressing questions that have been asked for centuries, and still resonate within the minds of believers and unbelievers alike. There are moments that you may have doubt and questions. So what do we do when those moments and questions come? A great book I would recommend regarding discerning counterfeit and false teachings is Counterfeit Kingdom , by Holly Pivec and Douglas Geivett Resources: https://sotb.research.bible/ (State of the Bible study) https://thestateoftheology.com/ (State of Theology)…

A Christmas Message: Prince of Peace 25:15

2 years ago25:15

25:15

The hope of Christmas is knowing that God, because of His grace, made a way for us to be reconciled to Himself by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, into the darkness of this sin-ravaged and chaos-filled world, so that we might be saved by faith through the sacrificial death of Christ for our sins. The deep soul-abiding peace for which we long is not found in what man can do, but rather in what God has already done in Christ. Because He is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, those who turn to Christ, by faith, can know a peace that is beyond our comprehension.

On Tuesday, the people of Montana voted to reject a ballot initiative (LR-131) that would have required, by law, doctors to administer life-giving care to born alive infants, including those who survived failed or botched abortions. On this episode of Crossroads & Culture, I talk about what God's word has to say about this, and how followers of Christ can respond.

When God Redirects Your Life 23:40

23:40

How do you respond when God redirects your life? In that moment, what may seem like an inconvenience is really an invitation from God to join Him where He is at work. Although it may feel frustrating, seem confusing, be painful, and not seem to make sense, we can trust that God is writing a much bigger and better story than we could ever write.

Devoted to Prayer 44:30

44:30

Today on the Crossroads & Culture podcast, we’re going to answer the questions of why the early church was devoted to prayer, and why we should be devoted to prayer as well. If there is anything that the early church needed, it was to spend time with God so that they might hear clearly from Him, by His Spirit, and know His will in how to live in right relationship with Him and one another. It is no different for us today as followers of Christ. For notifications for new episodes, please FOLLOW the Crossroads & Culture podcast, and rate/review our show.

Devoted to the Fellowship 28:24

We aren't meant to do life alone. Each of us has been created for relationship with God, first and foremost, and one another. In this episode of Crossroads & Culture, we are going to look at the early church’s commitment to the fellowship among the believers, and how their devotion to biblical community made much of the gospel, encouraged one another, and influenced the culture in which they lived. It’s something we need to hear today, as the Church, for the sake of the gospel.…

Why Should We Be Devoted to the Scriptures? 18:34

3 years ago18:34

18:34

In Psalm 119, David writes, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” God’s word sheds light on where to step and how to navigate this life we live. And we desperately need that because the path we walk in this world is more often littered with landmines than it is lollipops. Our path in this life leads us through the valleys of the shadow of death, but God shepherds us by His word and the abiding presence of His Spirit. And as we follow His ways and delight in His word, He provides for our real needs, not just felt needs; He leads us beside the quiet waters of His word when the world feels like a raging sea; He makes us lie down in the green pastures of His word to rest even when we walk through desert moments; He restores our weary and wounded soul with the healing salve of His word; He reminds us of His nearness with the rod and staff of His word so that we don’t have to fear any evil; He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies where we feast on the goodness of His word and the sustenance He gives. And that's why we should be devoted to the Scriptures. Website: www.rivervalleyconway.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/rivervalleychurchconway/…

Navigating the Chaos and Confusion of Life 19:59

In the scriptures, specifically the Psalms, there are a lot of questions that are asked regarding how to live life in a way that is right and God-honoring in the midst of a confusing and chaotic culture. On today's episode of the Crossroads & Culture podcast, I discuss how we can avoid drifting from the truth and embracing the often distorted and destructive worldviews of modern culture.
