Your stewardship challenge
Your practical plan
Your five dimensions
Sometimes the most faithful answer is not to automate, not to add another tool, or to keep a responsibility human.
A profile, not a grade.
The audit is designed to help you notice a real tension and act on it, not to tell you how faithful you are.
Your strength
The stewardship practice or boundary you are already protecting well.
Your opportunity
Where AI could create useful leverage without compromising responsibility.
Your challenge
The most important tension revealed by your current habits.
Your next move
One clear action for this week, not a list of ten new tools.
From my own workInvoice & PO automation
5.0h
Hours saved in my workweek
The question after efficiency
What happened to the five hours?
I used AI to help reduce an invoice and purchase-order task from about ten minutes to thirty seconds. Across my week, that saved roughly five or six hours. Then I had to ask what those hours were actually for. More work? Time with my family? Service? Rest?
Saving time is only the beginning. What we do with it matters.
One example from my work, not a promised result for yours.
The F.A.I.T.H. framework
Five lenses for wiser AI decisions.
This is not a test of whether AI is good or bad, and it is not a score of your faith. It is a practical way to see where leverage can help, where boundaries matter, and what deserves your attention next.
Friction
What unnecessary work is consuming the capacity you have been given?
Augmentation
Where could AI extend your ability without replacing your judgment?
Integrity
What standards of review, disclosure, and accountability should guide you?
Time
What is recovered time actually for?
Human
Which responsibilities and relationships should remain human?
Faithful Intelligence with Dave Birnie
Host · Builder · Husband & Father
I’m Dave. I build with AI, and I’m learning to steward it well.
I’m a software and AI systems builder, a husband, and a dad to three boys. I enjoy figuring out how to make things work, but I’ve also had to ask whether everything I can build is something I should build.
Faithful Intelligence is where I work through those questions with Scripture, practical experience, and honest reflection. I want the time AI saves to serve the people and responsibilities God has entrusted to us.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another” 1 Peter 4:10 (ESV, excerpt)
