“Artificial intelligence could have more profound implications for humanity than electricity or fire.”

My dear brother or sister in Christ,

Since 2011, I have served the Lord and a few of His children through this ministry, which has always been distinguished by ultra transparency and AUTHENTICITY.  When you come to RelentlessHeart.com you are coming, not to lifeless, re-hashed, tickle your itching ear teachings, but you are coming to a testimony of LIFE, rooted in the obedience to God, which comes by faith (Rom 1:5).

Hi Michael.  Oh man, I praise God for you brother.  You have blessed me so much over the years.  I first found you when I was so conflicted in my heart that I wasn't living out what I was reading and experiencing at church on Sundays.  I searched the internet for "crying out to God..." and I found your teachings.  What a blessing.  And now, this last video, "Though He slay me" is so good.  It just reminds me how I have taken your ministry for granted over the last few years.  You are truly such a unique ministry.  I so much need to see and hear men of God like you being honest and real and vulnerable in sharing the ups and downs and difficulties of their walk.  You are so authentic.  It is so appreciated.  Your risk and sacrifice is my reward.   Thank you brother.  I so need to be reminded what real messy walking with Christ looks like.  There are so many good sermons out there but I need more.  I need your kind of minisitry.  I need to see a real man of God walking in truth, in honesty, in humility, fearless, bold, and sold out to Him.  Thank your brother for your longsuffering, endurance, and your faith and trust in Him.  I am praying for you brother.  It is so obvious to me that He is in you.  Thank you for your incredible example and testimony.  I so much want to be on your path, and I pray that I am on my way there.  God is real.  I want Him more than anything.  I want to please Him in thought, word and deed.  God bless you brother.  Thank you brother.  Thank you for your sharing.  May God continue to bless you and use you and strengthen you.  Truly you have stored up eternal treasures.  Thank you, Jesus, for using Michael Chriswell.

I take no credit for any of the grace you see in his ministry.  All the glory goes to Jesus Christ, and I consider myself and unworthy servant (Luke 17:10), but nevertheless I, like you, have a vital role to play in my walk with God.  This ministry of the Lord is rooted entirely in my own walk of faith and spiritual experiences with Him.  I have always made a point to speak and teach, only what I know of Christ and God and faith, because of what I have put into practice.  

What you find here, is the Bible actually being lived out, just as we are all called to do.  You see and hear real-life recordings and videos of what it practically looks like to walk with God, living by faith, moment by moment, day-by-day, year-by-year.  You find Biblical truth, prophecy, and principles being incarnated through the life experiences of his servant.  Those naked and often abstract truths in the Bible, now suddenly have some clothing on them.  The testimony of others has often been, “Now, I know what that verse means”, after listening to my journal entries or teachings because they saw an authentic earthly representation of that spiritual truth from the Bible. 

Today, in 2025, we are now living in a totally new life-changing world quickly being dominated by ARTIFICIALITY, (AI). AI videos are popping up all over the place with artificial faces and voices.  Microsoft’s AI can synthesize your voice using only a three second audio sample and preserve intonation, emotion, and voice style.  Even “Christian” channels are already using Ai generated video and voices to create teachings.  I have no doubt that we have only scratched the surface. 

When I first started to pay attention to what Ai was, it immediately started looking like a second run by mankind to build another Tower of Babel.  There are those like the late Henry Kissinger who have suggested that Ai could become godlike, or even be the start of a new religion. 

It seems to me, from my very limited perspective, that the Ai stage we are in right now (2025), is still pretty harmless, and actually quite helpful.  We first started experimenting with Ai to create images that would illustrate a certain teaching or principle, and we find that to be quite effective and useful.  Then we started using Ai to transcribe and summarize some of my recordings, which I must say, it does a remarkable job of, and being that Lisa and I are the only two workers in this ministry, we have appreciated that time saving help very much! 

However, at one point, out of curiosity, I decided to test the capabilities of the Ai service, and I asked it to write a sermon for a church congregation on suffering, emphasizing Bible verses.  I was shocked at just how good the sermon was, and it produced it in less than a minute!  I had a very eerie feeling come over me, thinking about the spiritual implications of this!  Then I began to wonder how long will it be before “ministers” are tempted to allow Ai to do more than just transcribe or summarize their existing sermons, but to initially create them, so that believers are being fed, ear scratching, mechanically written, spiritually dead sermons, which Ai simply assimilated from all across the internet.   That may not seem like something too nefarious at this point, aside of the fact, that without the Holy Spirit’s anointing, they will be powerless sermons that scratch the ear, but do not impact or change the heart.  However, it is estimated that within the next 5 - 10 years, which will be here quickly, we will reach Artificial General Intelligence, where the software begins to be able to “think” for itself, without the input of humans.  What kind of sermons might we start hearing then?

Looking back, I find it interesting that the Lord had me pull down nearly 500 teachings from YouTube on January 31, 2023, exactly 9 weeks to the day, after ChatGPT exploded onto the scene on Nov 30, 2022.  I never heard about ChatGPT until 2024, when our teenage daughter told us about it.

Perhaps you recall my passionate, and tear-filled warnings over the years, that peaceful times were running out to get your heart right with God and to learn how to walk with Him.  Has there ever been a more important time to cling to that which is authentic?  Perhaps, now, more than ever, I and you both have reason to thank the Lord, for moving in me to make thousands of real-time recordings and teachings along the narrow of path of faith as I learned to walk with Jesus Christ.

Let us remember and anchor in the following words of Christ, no matter what we see from Ai in the near future. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” - Matthew 24:35
