Use AI with discernment

In 2026, many people coping with infertility are using AI chatbots for prayer ideas, Bible study, or emotional support. Helpful as that can be, avoid treating AI answers as pastoral counsel or medical guidance. If a verse interpretation increases shame, promises a specific outcome, or pushes supplements, IVF advice, or “faith-based” cures, pause and verify it with a trusted pastor, licensed counselor, or reproductive endocrinologist. A practical habit: save comforting verses in one note, and keep medical questions in your clinic portal so the two don’t get dangerously mixed.
