What if the secret to keeping pace with AI isn't working harder, but working together?
In this builder panel episode, host James Poulter sits down with three pioneers of open innovation in the faith tech space: James Kelly (Founder, Faith Tech), Ali Llewellyn (Gloo Open), and Nick Skitland (Gloo Open).
As new AI models drop on Saturday afternoons and developers feel the pressure to stay current with every update, a performance culture threatens to burn out even the most passionate technologists. But there's another way.
In this conversation, you'll discover:
• Why ”irrational generosity” is reshaping how faith-based organizations approach technology
• How Faith Tech has grown to 50 cities across 18 countries, mobilizing Jesus-following developers to build Kingdom technology
• The surprising story of the ”Pineapple Project”—a global hackathon team that built across six continents in 48 hours
• Why you don't need to be a developer to shape the future of AI (and how to get involved)
• How open source principles are creating shared infrastructure, data sets, and APIs for the entire faith community
• The collective might of the church vs. the limitations of individual organizations
From hackathons in Jordan to community chapters in London to collaborative projects spanning time zones, this episode demonstrates that open collaboration isn't just efficient—it's fundamentally Christian.
