Technology and God’s Voice
Stewarding Revelation in a Digital Age
All software is technology, but not all technology is software.
Computers? Absolutely.
Smartphones? Definitely.
AI? Without a doubt.
But what about writing? What about paper?
When we think of technology, we often picture glowing screens or silicon chips—but at its core, technology is simply the use of knowledge, tools, and techniques to solve problems or make life more efficient. That’s how ChatGPT defines it, and it’s a good start.
The truth is, many of the things we now take for granted once didn’t exist. The moment they were birthed into the world, they were revolutionary. They were new technology.
From Spoken Word to Written Word
Imagine a world without writing. A world where every truth, every story, every instruction had to be passed down orally—generation to generation. That world existed. But the moment the written word was introduced, everything changed. For the first time, thoughts and truths could transcend time, place, and speaker.
And as writing instruments and materials improved, the spread of ideas accelerated. I was recently at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, standing in awe of this journey. A simple piece of parchment… and yet, it carried power. Legacy. Truth.
The Printing Press and the Power of Access
Then came the printing press—a divine accelerator for the spread of God’s Word. Before Gutenberg, Bibles were handwritten, making them rare, expensive, and mostly confined to church leaders. But with the press came access:
More Copies, More Access: Thousands of Bibles could be printed quickly and affordably.
The Reformation: Martin Luther’s German translation put the Word into people’s hands, igniting a movement that returned hearts to Scripture.
Literacy & Hunger: People learned to read so they could read the Bible.
Diverse Perspectives: The printed Word invited personal engagement, sparking fresh revelation and interpretation.
The printing press democratized the Bible. It placed God’s voice—His promises, His love story, His truth—into the hands of everyday people.
The Digital Age: The Bible in Our Pockets
Today, we carry entire libraries in our pockets. With apps like YouVersion, the Bible is now searchable, shareable, and accessible in dozens of languages. Anyone with a smartphone can hear God’s voice, anytime, anywhere. And that’s no small thing.
We’re not just experiencing a technological shift. We’re witnessing a divine invitation.
The AI Revolution: A New Frontier for God’s Voice
We now stand at the edge of an even greater revolution—AI. Built on decades of digitization, accelerated by mobile tech and global connectivity, AI is more than an innovation—it’s a new way to steward truth.
At Doxa, we believe that AI will be used powerfully by God. Not just to share Scripture, but to activate His promises, to encourage His people, and to preserve prophetic insight across generations.
Just as the printing press paved the way for revival, we believe AI will pave the way for fresh encounters. New levels of discipleship. New expressions of unity. New depths of prophetic clarity.
And we’re honoured to be part of that journey.
“This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations…” — Matthew 24:14 NASB2020
Let us not fear the tools of this age, but rather discern their purpose. We are pioneers on digital paths, carriers of glory, entrusted with both the ancient truth and the freshest Word.
He’s still speaking.
We’re still listening.
Let’s steward His voice with everything He’s given us.
