What does it look like to shape AI for the glory of God?
In this episode of the Missional AI Podcast, guest host Josiah sits down live from Silicon Valley with Steele Billings (President of Gloo AI) and Nick Skiltin (former NASA technology and innovation leader, 25 years) of Gloo — the Boulder, Colorado technology company serving the faith and flourishing ecosystem.
They unpack the unconventional journeys that brought a team of major-league technologists together at a faith-driven organization, including the arrival of former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and former Intel CTO Greg Lavender, and why Gloo chose an open rather than closed AI strategy.
The conversation digs into:
• The origins of the Gloo Hackathon and why 2026 is ”the year of the builder”
• Flourishing AI (FAI) — Gloo's benchmark for grading frontier models like Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and others on how well they support human flourishing, built on research from Harvard's Human Flourishing Program, Baylor, and Gallup's Global Flourishing Study
• The seven dimensions of flourishing — and why models score lowest on meaning and faith
• Safety, accuracy, hallucinated Scripture, and theological alignment
• Gloo AI Studio — production-grade, values-aligned AI infrastructure for ministry builders
Whether you're a developer, ministry leader, or simply curious about the intersection of faith and emerging technology, this is a conversation worth your time.
