When Algorithms Praise Louder Than People

Remember the scene? Jesus is riding into Jerusalem, surrounded by disciples shouting praises and declaring Him the promised King. The religious leaders, the Pharisees being irritated demand that Jesus silence His followers.

His reply was a thunderclap of truth: “I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones themselves will start shouting.” (Luke 19:40).

The message was clear, God’s praise will be proclaimed. If human voices are silent, creation itself will roar. The testimony of His glory cannot and will not be stifled.

Look around today. We are in an era of unprecedented tools, technology, social media, AI, yet so many in the church are taking a back seat. We fold our hands. We whisper when we should roar. We hide our spiritual gifts when the world is desperate for their light. While many debate, hesitate, or simply quiet down, something astounding is happening.

The Stones are shouting. Right now, across social media, especially platforms like TikTok, a wave of AI-generated (produced) acappella music from Zimbabwe is circulating. And it is powerful. While we debate whether “AI should praise God,” these digital stones are crying out with undeniable, lifechanging messages. They are packed with scripture, articulated with convicting power, and carrying a spiritual weight that is stopping scrollers in their tracks.

I know, because one of these songs found me this week (Not Lukewarm). It spoke directly to my spirit. It was filled with conviction that only comes from the Word of God. It was undeniable. These “stones” are shouting the very truths we have been called to proclaim, simply because too many human voices have fallen silent.

The lesson isn’t primarily about AI. It’s about our voice.
The stones are a sign, a wakup call and a confirmation that the message of Christ is too urgent to be muted.

Therefore, I refuse to be silent any longer, I choose to shout from the digital rooftops that Jesus is King, He is Coming Soon!.

This sound is not meant to be solo, join me and unmute youth faith. Let’s shout together in our posts, in our songs, in our conversations and our lives.

Don’t let the stones do what we were created to do.
