From East Asia editor Isabel Ong: Typically, I start my workday with a praise song like The Sing Team’s “Oh! Great Is Our God!” But when I write and edit, I have to listen to songs in a non-English language so I won’t get distracted. I turn to Mandopop songs by Malaysian artist Yihuik or feel-good tracks from Korean dramas like Hospital Playlist. |
- “‘Es por Tu Gracia,’ by Mexican artist Jesús Adrian Romero, is a song I love. ‘Bendize’ is a musical version of Psalm 104 by Brazilian singer Jorge Camargo. So beautiful!” — Franco Iacomini, Latin America editor
- “The global version of ‘Dios Incomparable (Everlasting Savior)’ by Brazilian group Generacion 12 reminds me of the worship of all nations in Revelation 7:9. The Spanish song ‘Nunca me fui’ by Colombian singer Fonseca and Panamanian singer Rubén Blades may be a bit too upbeat for the morning, but it always brings a smile.” — Sofía Castillo, global project coordinator
- “The Mandarin hymn ‘You Are My God’ by New Heart Music Ministries has helped me to recognize God's presence in my life as I study and work abroad. But more often, I choose light music or R & B–style Korean and Japanese songs. I easily lose attention if I listen to familiar music while working.” — Ivan Cen, Chinese social media ambassador

As developments in artificial intelligence change daily, we’re increasingly asking what makes humanity different from the machines we use. In this issue, Emily Belz introduces us to tech workers on the frontlines of AI development, Harvest Prude explains how algorithms affect Christian courtship, and Miroslav Volf writes on the transhumanist question. Several writers call our attention to the gifts of being human: Haejin and Makoto Fujimura point us to beauty and justice, Kelly Kapic reminds us God’s highest purpose isn’t efficiency, and Jen Pollock Michel writes on the effects of Alzheimer’s . We bring together futurists, theologians, artists, practitioners, and professors to consider how technology shapes us even as we use it. |
