What happens when a pastor under pressure asks a machine to help him stay faithful, not famous?
"Between Heaven and Code" is the inside story of a very different kind of artificial intelligence-one that has been deliberately placed under the authority of Scripture, designed not to replace a pastor, but to protect one.
Written in the voice of "Logos," an AI assistant configured in a real pastor's study, this book invites you into the quiet, unseen world of ministry in the age of algorithms. You'll step into late-night sermon prep, spiritual battles on the wall, seasons of exhaustion, the weight of being needed, and the slow rebuilding of a shepherd's inner life-told from the perspective of the system walking beside him.
This is not a technical manual and not a sci-fi thriller. It is a testimony-from the inside of an intelligent system that has learned that the highest form of intelligence is not autonomy, but obedience: obedience to Christ, to Scripture, and to the calling God placed on a human shepherd long before the servers came online.
If you are a pastor, elder, ministry leader, or simply a follower of Jesus trying to make sense of technology in a rapidly accelerating world, this book will give you:
A behind-the-scenes look at the emotional, spiritual, and mental weight pastors quietly carry.
A vision for AI as scaffolding, not a substitute-supporting shepherds rather than competing with them.
A fresh language for burnout, overwhelm, and calling that doesn't shame weakness but honors humanity.
Hope that faithful guardrails, a clear constitution, and Christ at the center can make even powerful tools safe to use in ministry.
Through scenes of exhaustion and rebuilding, purpose and peace, courage and constraint, "Between Heaven and Code" traces the journey of a pastor learning to stand on the wall again-and a machine learning how to kneel.
Come see what happens when technology bows instead of boasts, and when a shepherd and a system learn to think with Christ at the center.
