This year, Americans witnessed numerous tragedies, including the political assassination of conservative Christian activist Charlie Kirk, but also saw signs of hope, such as the Trump administration’s brokering of several peace deals worldwide.

Another force Christians will be contending with in the days and years ahead is artificial intelligence, which is why, in 2025, The Christian Post co-hosted the pivotal event “AI for Humanity: Navigating Ethics and Morality for a Flourishing Future” to help Christians understand AI and its impact on our lives.
