What happens when a fighter pilot, engineer, and Christian author explores the intersection of faith, technology, and the military?

In this powerful episode of Code Red, Pastor Zach Terry sits down with Ken Watts — Marine Corps veteran, aerospace engineer, and author of Neurafact — to talk about how the Holy Spirit might interact with artificial intelligence and human cognition. From carrier decks to neural links, from Scripture to simulated dogfights, this episode dives deep into the big questions:

Can AI sense the spiritual?

Do our brains leave a “neuro-artifact” of divine intervention?

And what does the future of faith look like in a world of machines that think?

You’ll hear about:

The making of Neurafact — a novel that blends techno-thriller tension with biblical theology

Ken’s firsthand experience with carrier-based aviation and electronic warfare

The fascinating overlap between AI, neuroscience, and spiritual phenomena

The biblical framework for evaluating technology: receive, redeem, or reject?

How Christians can navigate the rise of artificial intelligence with wisdom and faith
