Are you thinking… or just compiling?
I’m running a little experiment this week.
👉 The Unassisted Week
For my message prep:
Just:
- Paper Bible
- Pen
- Notebook
- Books
Not because analog is better…
But because I want to make sure my thinking is still strong enough to stand on its own.
Here’s what I’m seeing in leaders (myself included):
We’ve gotten really good at:
- Searching fast
- Compiling ideas
- Producing quickly
But we might be losing:
And that’s dangerous.
Because if you’re not careful, you start:👉 trusting tools more than your thinking👉 borrowing clarity instead of developing conviction
Scripture says:We have the mind of Christ.The Holy Spirit is our guide.
So here’s the tension:
Are we actually using that…
or defaulting to tools because they’re faster?
I’m not anti-AI. I use it all the time.
But I refuse to let it sit in the driver’s seat.
Your challenge (if you’re in):
Before you search this week…
➡️ Sit with the text➡️ Write your own thoughts➡️ Process first
THEN go to tools.
I want to hear from you:
💬 Could you go fully unassisted for a week? 💬 What would be hardest about it? 💬 Where do you feel most dependent right now?

This isn’t about being old school.
It’s about thinking at a higher level again.
