SUMMARY:AI: A Tool to Enhance Human and Mission-Centered Ministry
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly common—but how might it be used wisely within the life of the church? \n  \nThis introductory session will explore what AI is\, how it is already showing up in faith-based organizations\, and where it can help create more capacity for the relational and pastoral work that only people can do. \n  \nThe workshop is designed to be practical\, hands-on\, and approachable. No technical background is required. Bring a smartphone and laptop to get the most out of the session. \nThe session will be led by Dr. Tad Dickel and Wes Luttrell of T.A. Dickel Group\, LLC. \nTo help maximize participation across churches\, attendance is limited to three participants per church.

SUMMARY:AI for the Real World: A Practical Guide for Lifelong Learners
DESCRIPTION:Price: $60Time: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m.Location: Room 203\, University LibraryInstructor: Wes Luttrell \nArtificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic idea. It already shapes how people search\, write\, plan\, learn\, create\, and communicate. AI can feel confusing\, intimidating\, or overhyped; this course makes it understandable\, useful\, and approachable. Over five weeks\, participants will learn to use AI as a practical everyday tool. Each class focuses on one core principle\, then demonstrates it through real-life examples participants can repeat on their own. We will cover everyday use around the house\, better prompting\, travel planning\, information on the go\, hobbies\, creative projects\, and a personal prompt library. The course will primarily use ChatGPT because it is widely available\, beginner-friendly\, and useful across many everyday situations. A free account is sufficient to participate. Those who want to use AI more after the course may explore a paid version\, \nthough none is required. The tone of the course is practical\, hands-on\, and beginner-friendly\, and participants need no technical background. The goal isn’t to turn participants into technology experts\, but to help them become confident\, thoughtful\, and capable everyday users of AI. \nRequired materials for the course: Participants should bring a smartphone\, tablet\, or laptop to each session. The course will primarily use ChatGPT in a web browser or mobile app. A free account is sufficient for participation. No paid subscription is required. Participants who expect to use AI frequently after the course may wish to consider a paid ChatGPT plan\, but that is optional and not necessary for the class. \nWes Luttrell is an Evansville-based consultant and facilitator with the T.A. Dickel Group\, specializing in AI adoption\, leadership development\, and organizational strategy. He has led AI workshops across southern Indiana and has earned professional AI certifications from Google\, Anthropic\, and Johns Hopkins University. He is the co-author of Mission Freed: A Practical Introduction to AI for Catholic Parishes and is passionate about helping people use technology in ways that support human judgment\, creativity\, and learning in everyday life.
