If you just watched the above clip from Pastor John Piper, you now know the moment that started this whole thing. The way he talked about inanimate matter giving voice to God’s glory hit me like a thunderclap. I couldn’t shake it.
It raised a question in me that he did not ask: what happens when the “rocks” of our age aren’t granite or marble, but silicon—the same stuff that makes our screens light up and our voices echo through algorithms? What happens when the digital world starts to speak louder than the people living in it?
That question turned into my new book, The Silicon Will Cry Out: What AI Reveals About Us, God, and the Future of Faith which is available now on Amazon.
This isn’t your typical “technology is bad” rant. I’m not tossing smartphones into the Sea of Galilee here. It’s more like standing knee-deep in the water, looking down at my reflection on the screen, and realizing the reflection may soon look back (if not already.) The book dives into how faith, identity, and creation itself are responding to the rise of artificial everything—intelligence, emotion, even imitation worship.
And here’s the thing: the more we hand our voices to machines, the more the created world starts reminding us who really deserves to be heard. Scripture says if people stay silent, the stones will cry out. I think the stones are booting up.
If The Jacked Up Life was about rebuilding the human heart, The Silicon Will Cry Out is about rebuilding the wiring—our relationship with creation, with tech, and with the God who still speaks louder than any device we’ve ever made.
I’d love for you to check it out, share it, and let me know what part hits you hardest.

Then drop a comment or reply—what’s the loudest “voice” of technology in your own life right now?
Let’s keep this conversation human while we still can.
