“Three quarters of global Christians identify as either Pentecostal or charismatic.”

In this Day1 interview, Rev. Dr. Michael DeLashmutt of The General Theological Seminary joins Rev. Dr. Katie Givens Kime for a thoughtful Pentecost conversation about global Christianity, ecumenism, and the often-overlooked history of Pentecostalism.

This week on Day1, Rev. Dr. Michael DeLashmutt of The General Theological Seminary in New York reflects on what it means to be human in an age shaped by technology, achievement, and anxiety.

In “This is Not an A.I. Sermon,” grounded in Genesis 11:1–9 and the story of Babel and Pentecost, he reminds us that our worth is not found in productivity or performance, but in being gathered by God into communion.

What if the deepest question before us is not technological, but theological?
