Jay Richards—Reality, AI, and the Courage to Change Your Mind (Preview)

Author: The Christian Research Institute March 23, 2026 Duration: 38:54
Jay Richards has made more appearances on Hank Unplugged than any other guest. As the longtime producer of the podcast, Dave Hanegraaff thought it would be fitting to have Jay be one of the first guests to join him on his new podcast, A Commitment to Reality.  

In this preview from A Commitment to Reality, Jay and Dave explore the importance of listening to those we disagree with, how social media distorts our perception of reality, and why embodiment—simply going outside and being present—may be one of the most important disciplines we’ve forgotten.

They also dive into the growing influence of artificial intelligence, why the debate over AI is ultimately a question of anthropology, and how our understanding of the human person will shape the future more than any technology.

To hear the full conversation—including Jay’s reflections on fasting, discipline, and practices that reconnect us to reality—search for A Commitment to Reality wherever you listen to podcasts and follow the show so you never miss an episode.
