What is Devotio AI? I'm using AI technology (with all its quirks) to create images that flow from my reflections and meditations upon Holy Scripture.
This idea grew out of my practice of using a daily lectionary for personal devotions. I would read, reflect, and write a short devotion. It's all about slowing down enough to sit with the text. For this project, I wanted to see if I could use AI tools for the same purpose--to help me slow down and visually meditate upon the message of each day's text.
I have no idea how long I'll continue this practice, but so far I have found it to be both helpful and enriching. Not only for contemplation, but for memory. Every day I end up with a new image that helps me recall what I've read from God's Word.
On a personal note, I'm married and have two teenage children. Currently I'm in my final year of seminary studies at Concordia Seminary St. Louis. At some point in the near future, I hope to be called to pastor a congregation somewhere. Hopefully, this image-based devotional practice will be useful in some way for my future ministry.
