The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age
Why Christians Must Discern AI
The church welcomed technology through its gates without asking who built it—or why.
A prophetic call for believers to wake up, wise up, and stand firm in an age of artificial intelligence.
They celebrated as the gift was rolled through the gates. It promised convenience, connection, and progress. No one thought to look inside.
Today, artificial intelligence has entered our homes, our churches, and our children's lives with the same quiet confidence. We've embraced AI-powered tools, algorithms that shape what we see and believe, and technologies that blur the line between human and machine—often without a single question asked.
But what if the greatest threat to the church isn't an attack from outside? What if it's already inside the walls?
In The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age, author Misty Phillip sounds an urgent alarm for the body of Christ. This isn't a book about rejecting technology. It's about reclaiming discernment—the forgotten discipline the church needs most in this pivotal hour.
We're Sleepwalking Into a Digital Revolution
Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept. It's here. It's shaping how your children learn, how your pastor prepares sermons, how news reaches your feed, and how truth itself is defined.
Consider what's already happening: Deepfake technology can fabricate videos of anyone saying anything. Algorithms decide what information you see—and what gets buried. Children are forming emotional bonds with AI companions. Transhumanist movements are redefining what it means to be made in the image of God.
Yet most churches remain silent. Most Christian families are unequipped. And most believers don't realize the worldview embedded in the very tools they use every day.
The Trojan Horse has already been wheeled inside.
It's Time to Open Our Eyes—and Our Bibles
The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age is the wake-up call the church desperately needs. Written for everyday believers—not technologists—this book cuts through the hype and the fear to deliver something more valuable: biblical clarity.
Misty Phillip brings together her expertise at the intersection of technology and faith to examine AI through a thoroughly Christian lens. She doesn't ask you to throw away your smartphone. She asks you to think—deeply, critically, and scripturally—about the digital forces reshaping our world.
This book will help you understand what AI actually is (and isn't), recognize the spiritual implications hiding in plain sight, protect your family from digital deception, equip your church to engage this moment with wisdom, and stand firm on biblical truth when the culture insists you evolve.
A Roadmap for the Road Ahead
Each chapter includes discussion questions perfect for small groups, Bible studies, and family conversations.
The Gift at the Gates
Examines how we got here—the promises of AI, the speed of adoption, and why the church has been slow to respond.
What's Hidden Inside
Unpacks the real concerns: deepfakes and digital deception, surveillance and privacy, algorithmic manipulation, AI companions and emotional counterfeits, and the transhumanist agenda that seeks to redefine humanity itself.
Standing Firm
Calls believers to prophetic courage—not fear-driven withdrawal, but faith-filled engagement rooted in the unchanging Word of God.
Guarding the Walls
Provides practical guidance for families navigating AI with their children, churches developing thoughtful technology policies, and individuals cultivating discernment in a post-truth world.
Written for the Everyday Believer Navigating the Digital Age
You don't need a computer science degree to read this book. You need a heart that wants to honor God and protect what matters most.
This book is for parents wondering how to guide their kids through a digital world they barely understand themselves. It's for pastors and church leaders seeking wisdom on technology without compromising biblical truth. It's for grandparents concerned about a world that looks nothing like the one they grew up in. It's for young adults navigating AI in education, careers, and relationships. And it's for anyone who senses something is shifting and wants to be ready.
If you've felt uneasy about the pace of change but couldn't articulate why, this book gives you language, framework, and most importantly—hope.
