n this episode of If Not For God with Mike Zwick, Mike sits down with Robbie Dillmore, the "Christian Car Guy," for a powerful conversation about pressing on toward the mark and pursuing God's higher calling. Mike and Robbie talk about the importance of making the most of every moment rather than dwelling on the past. From door-to-door sales and the pain of rejection to lessons from Scripture, sports, and the lives of faithful Christians, they explore what it means to keep moving forward when life gets difficult. They discuss Philippians 3 and Paul's challenge to "press on toward the mark," Psalm 90's reminder to number our days, and Psalm 150's call to let everything that has breath praise the Lord. The conversation also highlights the incredible impact one person can have through discipleship and obedience. Robbie shares the story of Ted Burton, a man who came to Christ later in life and spent his remaining years discipling others—leaving a legacy that continues through generations.

You may not be able to change yesterday, and you don't know what tomorrow holds—but you can choose what you do with today. Keep pressing forward. Keep pursuing the Lord. And make your life count for eternity.

Is AI a gift, a danger, or simply a tool? In this episode of If Not For God, Mike Zwick and Robby Dillmore dive into the growing influence of ChatGPT and artificial intelligence—and ask an even deeper question: What happens when we start trusting technology more than we trust God? From AI Bible studies and computers that can generate sermons, music, and conversations, to the possibility of AI companions replacing real relationships, Mike and Robbie explore both the incredible opportunities and the spiritual dangers of this rapidly changing technology. They also discuss whether AI could have anything to do with the biblical "mark of the beast," why critical thinking still matters, and why Christians should never allow technology to replace prayer, Scripture, or the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Mike shares a powerful personal story about an unexpected encounter with a young woman who was suffering from severe pain—and what happened when he felt led to pray for her. The message throughout the episode is simple: AI may be a powerful tool, but it will never replace God. Technology can provide information, but only God can provide wisdom, direction, and the transforming presence of the Holy Spirit. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation about AI, faith, discernment, prayer, and what it means to make God the hero of our story.
