The Answer Isn't the Point

We’re standing in a moment. A pedagogical pivot. A prophetic pause.

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just knocking at the door of our classrooms, it’s sitting in the seats, taking the tests, writing the essays. And yet… this isn’t a crisis of technology. It’s a confrontation with truth.


Because what if AI isn’t the threat we feared, but the mirror we needed?


The issue isn’t just academic dishonesty. It’s educational idolatry.

We've worshiped the altar of “the right answer” for so long, we forgot the altar was never the goal. It was always the fire. The refining. The journey to wisdom.


Biblical text would call it: knowing the letter but missing the Spirit.

Scholars might call it: assessment without authenticity.

But as for us—those called to form minds and mold character—we’ve got to call it what it is: a divine disruption.


This moment with AI is revealing something deeper:

Have we built classrooms that stop at answers, or ones that begin there?


Are we grading compliance... or cultivating curiosity?

Are we rewarding parroting... or provoking critical thought?


Because if a machine can replicate the assignment, was the assignment ever fully human? Fully holy? Fully whole?


Educator, this is our threshing floor.

Instruction must be reimagined.

Curriculum must be consecrated.

Assessment must be anointed.


This is the moment to pivot from “what do you know?” to “who are you becoming as you learn?”


Let AI handle the data.

We’re after the development.

Let tech process the facts.

We’re raising up wisdom-bearers.


So don’t panic. Press in.

This isn't the end of learning. It's the beginning of a new kind.

Where wonder returns to the classroom.

Where inquiry becomes worship.

Where transformation—not transaction—is the goal.


We were never called to deliver content.

We were anointed to awaken calling.


AI might answer the question.

But only an educator, aligned with Heaven, can ask the one that changes a life.


🔥 Let's build from there.


Written in partnership with AI, but led by the voice of lived experience, insight, and an educator’s call.
