Identity Crisis

AI is replacing jobs faster than most people realize — and not just on the factory floor. White collar workers, doctors, lawyers, educators, coders — the shift is already here.

But before you panic, there's something more important than your career that needs to be settled first: who are you when the machine can do what you do?

In Week 2 of The Hybrid Age, Pastor Doug Bell tackles the identity crisis that's quietly building beneath the surface of our AI-driven world. Drawing from Genesis, the Psalms, and the ancient Hebrew concept of Avoda — where work, worship, and service are one — this message challenges the lie that your worth is tied to your output.

In this message, you'll discover:

• Why 40% of companies plan to replace roles with AI by end of year

• The difference between AI as a tool vs. AI as an agent — and why it matters

• What Scripture has always said about what makes you irreplaceable

• The Avoda Principle and why work was always meant to be worship

• Why the Sabbath is the most countercultural act you can take right now

The machine is coming for your tasks. But it cannot take your soul, your presence, or your purpose.

You were a child of God before you ever sent an email — and you will be one long after the last server is powered down.
