Join us for an interview with Craig Detweiler and Peter McGowan on the power of storytelling and creativity in the era of AI. Is AI shaping the way creative people work? How has storytelling affected our idea of artificial intelligence?Views and opinions expressed by podcast guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the view of AI and Faith or any of its leadership.Production: Pablo Salmones and Penny YuenSpeakers: Craig Detweiler and Peter McGowanEditing: Isabelle BraconnotMusic from #UppbeatLicense code: 1ZHLF7FMCNHU39

How can creative people honestly pursue their crafts in an age of Artificial Intelligence? What key components fuel creativity for those who make art, film, novels, poetry, graphic art, or music?Our guest is Craig Detweiler, author, filmmaker, educator, cultural commentator, and Variety Magazine's Mentor of the Year recipient.Over the years, Craig has taught and mentored thousands of students at Pepperdine, Biola, Fuller Seminary, and Grand Canyon University. He has encouraged these aspiring artists to launch creative projects with intention, awareness, and confidence. His students have founded festivals, started companies and schools, written acclaimed graphic novels, and directed movies for Marvel. Now, at a time when generative AI can aggregate text and images in seconds, he shows why “honest creativity” is one of the core tenets that separates humans from machines. For Craig Detweiler, creating honestly is a way of honoring the gift of life. Humans are called to honestly create magnificent things because it is what humans, made in the image of God, do.Craig's latest book is Honest Creativity: The Foundations of Boundless, Good, and Inspired Innovation (Morehouse Publishing, 2024).Scroll down to learn about Craig Detweiler.

When I buy a book, I weigh three considerations: my level of interest, the cost, and the. book's length (more or less in that order). I will never read a book I don't want to read. I will rarely pay anywhere remotely close to retail (Hal Hammons, famous tightwad; you know my schtick by now) And I would rather read a short book than a long book;  if you saw my To Be Read stack, you'd understand why. My “surprising books” tend to be ones where either my level of interest was pretty low and I was surprised in a good way, or ones where my level of interest was unusually high and I was surprised in a bad way. I'm pleased to say most of the surprises so far in 2024 have been good ones. Lord willing, as with the other lists I'll post this month, I'll be back in December with my lists for the year as a whole. 10.  The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, by Philip Pullman9. The Bookstore that Floated Away, by Sarah Henshaw8. The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom7.  Deceived No More, by Doreen Virtue6. Helen of Troy, by Margaret George5. Sense and Sensuality, by Ravi Zacharias4. Our Town, by Thornton Wilder3. God and My Father, by Clarence Day2. A God Named Josh, by Jared Brock1. Selfies, by Craig Detweiler

In this episode, Craig Detweiler and I have a great conversation around creativity, faith, and storytelling. We talk about how creativity reflects the nature of God and is a godly activity, the differences between humans and AI, and the importance of recognizing humanity. We talk about perceiving inspiration through openness to God's spirit and finding quiet moments, the role of criticism and collaboration in the creative process, and embodied worship and improvisation as ways to fully engage creativity. How do you strike a balance between digital and physical experiences and value humanity over technology. So join us as we discover ways that human intelligence will always be better than artificial intelligence.

This week on Be Afraid, we take a hard look at the origin of our fears and consider whether films in the horror genre might actually help us face those fears rather than be held captive by them. Everybody's story is unique, but the one thing we all hold in common is that all of our fears–whatever they may be–start somewhere. They have an origin… which means that our ability to understand how horror films not only tap into our deepest fears but also give us an opportunity to wrestle with what terrorizes us depends upon our willingness to identify and explore the moments in our lives when we first learned to fear.  Joining us this week: Scott Derrickson is a filmmaker whose projects include, among others, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Dr. Strange, and The Black Phone.  Pete Docter is a filmmaker, animator, and voice actor. He is the chief creative officer of Pixar Animation Studios. Josh Larsen, host of Filmspotting and author of Fear Not!  Elijah Davdison, co-director of Brehm Film and author of Come & See: A Christian Guide to the Greatest Films of All Time  Dr. Craig Detweiler, filmmaker, Dean, College of Arts and Media, Grand Canyon University.

How do we reintegrate the Christian faith with how we watch movies? We can go to the movies to just be entertained or escape for a couple hours, or we can look closer and dig deeper. What do the stories and characters in today’s movies tell us about the human condition? How can art teach us things that God wants us to grasp that we may not understand in any other way? Dr. Craig Detweiler (MFA, University of Southern California’s School of Cinema/TV and Ph.D. in Theology and Culture, Fuller Theological Seminary) has thought and wrote about these things for years and helps Bob and Brendan to wrestle with the messages of many of today’s best movies.

Selfies are ubiquitous. They can be silly or serious, casual, or curated. Within moments, smartphone users can capture their image and post it across multiple social media platforms to a global audience. But do we truly understand the power of image in our image-saturated age? How can we seek God and care for each other in digital spaces? Craig Detweiler, a nationally known writer and speaker and an avid social media user, examines the selfie phenomenon, placing selfies within the long history of self-portraits in art, literature, and photography. He shows how self-portraits change our perspective of ourselves and each other in family dynamics, education, and discipleship. Challenging us to push past unhealthy obsessions with beauty, wealth, and fame, Detweiler helps us to develop a thoughtful, biblical perspective on selfies and social media and to put ourselves in proper relation to God and each other. He also explains the implications of social media for an emerging generation.   Get Craig's book Selfies: Searching for the Image of God in a Digital Age.   For additional show notes, visit ShaunTabatt.com/483.   The Shaun Tabatt Show is part of the Destiny Image Podcast Network.

My guest this week is filmmaker, screenwriter and theologian Craig Detweiler who is based in Los Angeles. Craig grew up in North Carolina and went to film school in California where he has lived since. He has taught Destin Daniel Cretton, the director/screenwriter of Just Mercy (2019) which was the first movie in Hollywood to be made with an inclusion rider. We talk about Destin’s next project which will be a superhero movie. Craig discusses Black Lives Matter and the Equal Justice Initiative and the role of nostalgia in charting our lives from childhood. He explains that people who work in the film industry don’t take their successes for granted and see it as a privilege to tell stories for a living. We discuss how some of the best films have been made about people on the wrong side of Hollywood, e.g. P.T. Anderson’s Magnolia. We talk about the artifice and green screen dimension to films and compare it to the big Hollywood sets in previous generations recreating, say, ancient Egypt, and the repurposing of sets that takes place. We find out why Craig grew up with an attachment to cars and racing and we learn why the comedies of Norman Lear were informative and preconditioned him to seeing all people as equal. We discover that Craig kept rigorous records of Casey Kasem’s Top 40 and how the eclecticism that is America was presented through the various genres of music. Craig talks about the time he spent in Cambridge in the UK and how the music scene there influenced him. He brought the sounds of the UK back to Davidson College in North Carolina. He first encountered REM who hailed from a college town in Georgia when they tried out their sounds in the College pub. We also learn that Craig was into rap when he was young and has his original records. We talk about how the time we were ostensibly ‘wasting’ as youngsters were actually investments as well as why films are memory making machines. We learn that Craig doesn’t mind trafficking in nostalgia provided he isn’t trapped in it. We discuss how we tend to grow with the artists we watch – for example from the young gangsters of Mean Streets to their older, more reflective counterparts in The Irishman. At the end of the interview Craig talks about why it is the challenges in life that are the most formative, what happens when one papers over the past in the light of what has happened with issues around civil rights and George Floyd, what he considers to be nostalgia’s long term bite, and why Americans are always looking forward in their disposition.

They are embarking upon an ancient challenge, to know thyself, while broadcasting each awkward step along the way. We must reach back to our genesis, to the radical notion that we are created in the image and likeness of God, the imago Dei.

There was a time when to interact with a government agency you had to travel to a physical location.

Selfies are ubiquitous. They can be silly or serious, casual or curated. Within moments, smart phone users can capture their image and post it across multiple social media platforms to a global audience. But do we truly understand the power of image in our image-saturated age? How can we seek God and care for each other in digital spaces? Well this week on the podcast we will tackle these questions with my friend, scholar, and guru of the cinema Craig Detweiler. Since the last time he was on the podcast he became President of The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. Craig Detweiler is a U.S. author, filmmaker, theologian, and cultural commentator who is the third president of The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology in Seattle, Washington. Toward the end of the podcast I mention my recent film The Road to Edmond and now you can watch it online. So do it.

We wake up to our iPhones and sign off to Facebook. In between, we're texting, downloading and streaming—inundated with information from Google, Hulu and iTunes. How do we filter all our media to discern what matters? Craig Detweiler, who has his PhD from Fuller Theological Seminary, is a professor of communication and director of the Center for Entertainment, Media, and Culture at Pepperdine University where they are asking these kinds of questions. He is also an author, award-winning filmmaker and cultural commentator who has been featured on CNN, NPR and in The New York Times. In his book “iGods” he interacts with major symbols of our distracted age—like Apple, Amazon, YouTube and Twitter—to investigate the impact of the technologies and cultural phenomena that drives us.

Deacons I am thrilled to let you all in to a live HBC house-show & yard party with your favorite British PoMo theological and cultural super star Barry Taylor (check him on the podcast, with Peter Rollins on the Apostle Paul and at Theology After Google). The show is almost an hour and a half of interactive theology, inappropriate religious jokes, guitar strumming, Pop Culture commentary, & curse word Bingo (Barry will explain…I hear lay people at his church invented it).  If you can't imagine course language and thick sarcasm being use for something fruitful then please don't listen.  Pete Rollins may have his Pyro-theology but we got Profane Theology.  This was recorded September 30, 2011. We discuss Scot McKnight's King Jesus Gospel, Peter Rollins, Mark Driscoll's Thug Jesus excitement, reality TV (and Christianity), Phyllis Tickle, Mel Gibson's love of the Jewish people, the Passion of the Christ, Rob Bell, Love Wins, Rick Warren, Shane Hipps, techno-noise, AC/DC, the Star Wars religion, changing religious data, skulls, and trash art. Dr. Barry Taylor is the Associate Rector at All Saints' Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills, California. He also teaches theology and culture at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he is the Artist-in-Residence for the Brehm Center, and he teaches advertising and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, topics that were part of his theological doctoral study program. He writes and plays music, usually with friends, occasionally for money – his songs have shown up in a few movies, and he has composed a couple of soundtracks for largely over-looked films. He has written a few books: A Matrix of Meaning with Craig Detweiler, A Heretic's Guide to Eternity, with Spencer Burke, as well as his latest, Entertainment Theology.
