When AI Becomes Everywhere: The Leadership Posture Kingdom Women Must Embrace
There's a conversation we need to have about AI in business, and it's not the one most people are having.
While the internet screams that you need to master AI or get left behind, I want to offer you a different perspective—one rooted in discernment, spiritual clarity, and what it truly means to lead as a kingdom woman in the marketplace.
The 2 Critical Business Strategies Needed
Want to dive deeper into the two critical business strategies for 2026 that allow you to be human first? Join me inside the Kingdom Business Revolution Facebook group for the full training replay where I break down exactly what these strategies are and how to implement them in your business.  You can find that training linked up here. 
The Question No One Is Asking
When AI first started showing up in the business world, I'll be honest—I didn't like it. I was resistant, almost dead set against using it in my business. Not because I'm anti-progress, but because I asked a question most people weren't asking: Why is this here? What is this thing?
Then reality hit. AI wasn't something I could opt out of anymore. It was already embedded in the tools I was using—Zoom transcriptions, scheduling software, analytics platforms. It wasn't a separate thing anymore. It was just there.
That's when the real question shifted for me: If AI is everywhere, then it's no longer the differentiator.
This is a mindset shift most people haven't made yet. Right now, the loudest voices online are telling you that you have to use AI to stay ahead, that AI mastery is the advantage. But here's the truth that changes everything: when everyone has access to the same tool, the same strategy, that tool stops being the edge.
What Actually Distinguishes You?
Remember when smartphones first came out? Everyone was dying to have one. If you had a smartphone, you had a unique advantage. Now? Smartphones are everywhere. They're the baseline. Nobody gets credit for having a smartphone anymore.
The same thing is happening with AI. AI is becoming the baseline. It's not the edge—it's the new normal.
So if AI isn't the edge anymore, what is? Presence. Discernment. Conviction. Embodied leadership.
AI cannot replicate the wisdom God put inside of you unless you choose to allow it to. It can summarize scripture, but it can't replace revelation. It can create content, but it cannot tap into the deepest part of you and extract that calling and movement the Lord is asking you to bring through your business—the kind that creates an eternal ripple effect and impact on this side of heaven.
The Spiritual Question Behind the Technology
I've realized something important about where AI comes from and why it matters for us as kingdom women. As I prayed and asked the Lord about the rapid advancement of this technology, I believe He showed me that we're dealing with knowledge that advances faster than wisdom—something Scripture warns us about repeatedly.
Throughout history, humanity has wrestled with knowledge that moves faster than discernment. Not all wisdom comes from God. Not all knowledge produces life. Whether we're talking about ancient times or modern technology, the issue is never the tools themselves. It's discernment, authority, and alignment.
This doesn't mean AI is inherently evil or that we can't use it. Like any tool, it can be used for good or for harm. Used right, AI can save time, reduce unnecessary labor, support clarity, and free us to be more present with our families. I don't have to spend three hours formatting a blog post when I could spend that time with my child or in prayer. That's good stewardship.
But here's where we cross a line, especially as kingdom women: when a tool starts replacing our voice instead of supporting it. When we outsource discernment, conviction, and authority to automation. When we turn ourselves into polished content machines that carry no spiritual weight—that's not stewardship.
A Different Leadership Posture
We're living in a moment that demands discernment. A moment where the world is shouting that AI is the future. Let me be clear: AI is not the future. The kingdom is.
AI is not your strategy. How you respond to this shift is. What the Lord is asking you to do in your business—that's your strategy.
By God's design, as kingdom women, we do not follow the current. We test the spirits. We weigh the times. We ask, "Lord, what would You have me see?"
Romans 12:2 calls us to something more: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will."
Testing. Approving. That's discernment.
The False Standard We Need to Name
There's a growing pressure in the business world—a belief that if you're not using AI in every part of your business, you're behind. But that b
